My latest.

There is a bit of philosophy at the piece's end.

Excerpt:

"Yet the even deeper problem is that moderns view "the oldest things” as just that, old, and not eternal. Our rampant relativism breeds people who make everything relative to themselves and their time; this engenders a chronological chauvinism — attended by nebulous blather about undefined "progress” — that assumes "new” is better because the new is of the now. But even the latter is usually an errant assumption, as new ideas are often just forgotten old mistakes."
