The degree to which our collective societal intelligence has been degraded is stunning. Nobody has to be wrong about anything, ever. And it turns out if you're never wrong, you're never right either.

2024 is exactly the kind of year that would take Jimmy Carter from us. At least he won't have to see what comes next. He made the best possible use of the power that comes from being a former President. Other former Presidents could go to school on him. (They have, I know, but alas...)
