"Twilight cultures begin to show a preference for veneer and form, 
not depth and content; a stubborn blindness to the consequences of 
actions, from the leadership on down.  In other words, an epidemic of 
erosion of attention that is a sure sign of an impending dark age."

Maggie Jackson, Distracted, Prometheus, 2008, p 26.
