The Heir's been working on a number of projects designed to effect a transition to eventually make the Happy Bachelor subculture as independent as possible from a larger culture he's pointed out as personally corrupt and favoring forced obsolescence.  The DIY music player with the Third Pillar is one of those, but amidst the projects he hasn't had a chance to comment on current corrupt elements in the larger culture.  For one thing, he noticed that while we were doing the 20th anniversary of 9/11 a week ago, there was a striking dearth of immoral acts, and he wonders if that's because the would-be immoral actors found themselves admonished by how George W. Bush had pointed out how "feel good culture" had led to something like 9/11 to begin with.  This the Heir sees as what he's learned in criminal law as Consciousness Of Guilt.  The personally corrupt knew that what they're doing is wrong, despite their denials, and so they weren't prepared to defy 9/11 on its 20th anniversary.  The Heir also wants to go back to highlights in the testimony of women athletes who were abused by Larry Nassar to see whether there were renewed condemnations of Cosby and Cuomo, either explicit or implied.  Cosby was sprung in July, and Cuomo was failed to be impeached in August, so those two the Heir sees as continuing elements of evidence of personal corruption in the culture.  But another personally corrupt person the Heir sees as having reaped what they sowed was that member of QAnon with a reputation of anti-mask and anti-vaccine who died of Covid-19.  Unfortunately that segment with the INN the Heir was hoping as being able to pontificate more explicitly than they did, and hence the segment wasn't even about the QAnon member or the chickens coming back home to roost as much as general ignorance and denial regarding the pandemic and the importance of masks and vaccines.  The Heir already knows those things, but he suspects they used the segment title that they did in order for *someone else* to point out how the chickens were coming back home to roost.  Unfortunately the segment itself wussed out in not doing so themselves, because the Heir doesn't think that something like QAnon, which he sees as a descendent movement to the Anonymous hacking group, not to mention Ed Snowden, really deserves social respect not to be told that their chickens are coming back home to roost.  So the Heir's still looking for someone to follow in waving the banner of principle, and things like intuitive simplicity and transparency in crafts.  While he's looking for such a thing, he's working hard to make it happen himself for all of us in the Bachelor household.
