Wasn't familiar with Ms. Berge, but even a quick scan of her Wikipedia leads me to believe she was...something else. I'm sure Ginsberg shared a similar opinion of her. As for the possibility of a "Victorian Age," I think we're already seeing some signs of it. The pendulum of time...is slow but steady. For every action, there's usually an equal and opposite reaction. Progress is hard. Cuz...zucking human nature. :-p
