“No Time for the Work Like Right Now”

In a post titled It’s A Horrible Task, Billy Beck shares an email from a reader and his reponse to the email.

The email and post delve into “The Endarkenment,” and the dire implications of this, and Billy notes one very important point, amongest others, which I quote here.

I see your point. It’s about regeneration. Look: wouldn’t it be better if the fire preceding it were unnecessary? I know you’ll agree. It’s just that there is no reason for this. If we might look forward to a re-ignition someday, then does it make me crazy to demand that the same intellectual effort be brought to bear right now, before it’s all gone? The tools are valid in any era, and there is no time for the work like right now.

Why are individuals meekly waiting for “The Endarkenment,” nay encouraging it, to consume them?  Why are not more individuals working, right now, to destroy it?
