My plan for the Culture War is that culture wins. If we have people trying to promote competing values, and we always will, at least they can promote them by creating interesting and worthwhile cultural products—art, architecture, novels, poems, movies, television, etc.—that entice us with their unique vision of how we might choose to live. But the cultural left, for all of its institutional dominance in media and the arts, is increasingly having a problem delivering the goods, and they're beginning to substitute an uninspiring didacticism for artistic creativity.
