The Disenlightenment

In "The Disenlightenment", David Mamet delves into the horror of recent years, seeking a common theme among incomprehensible events and actions.

He examines diverse issues—from gender policies in sports to accusations against Israel—to uncover a unifying force.

Mamet suggests these phenomena resemble an "open city," vulnerable to marauding gangs pursuing their agendas without accountability.

This perspective reflects a view of contemporary society as fragmented and lacking a cohesive program or leadership.

Mamet's analysis offers a critical lens on the perceived chaos and disjointedness of modern political and cultural landscapes.
