One thing has give me genuine hope recently: the hyper-woke NYT has now run at least 2-3 articles in the past few months that are clearly questioning some of that ocean of insanity that is concerning to many of us here. I do think the tide is turning and the fringe perspectives are increasingly being seen as exactly that, fringe. Right now the shift appears focused on questioning the medicalization of minors (thank God, that is the place where I'd start too), but I can see it going in other directions eventually, like sports.

Or maybe I'm just a glass-half-full kinda guy LOL.
