Thanks. I suspect this cold war, like the one between the rich and the poor, has never left us. They're both parts of our default, existential condition. It's like chess: the moves change, and no two games are exactly alike, but the games all follow the same rules and patterns.

It we're talking about civilized human mammals, we're talking about splits between the rich and the poor, and between breakaway intellectual elites and the relatively unreflective masses.
