When Wuhan Virus Departs, World Will Be Changed

No one knows how long the international alarm, bordering on panic, over the Wuhan virus will last.

When it finally runs its course, a whole lot of things are going to be very, very different.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing; after all, it’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good. For more than half a century, the Western world has divided itself into two antithetical camps. One constantly pushes for the overthrow of years, decades, centuries, and even millennia of societal traditions and political norms in a headlong pursuit of “change” at all costs, while the other has tried to resist, but has inexorably been pushed back on nearly every front, shedding religious tenets and constitutional rights in a doomed bid to appease its opponents.

The situation resembles the parable of Chesterton’s Fence, in which two men encounter a mysterious barrier across a road: “The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, ‘I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.’ To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: ‘If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.’”
