Charles, this represents a major development in your thinking. Will you write a book about it? Please? For those of us who have spent decades now measuring our own conclusions against yours?

1/4 I've come to think over the last 20 years that secular humanism has no moral bottom. Absent a core of absolutes of right and wrong, anything can be rationalized. Absent some divine origin for those absolutes, they cannot be absolutes.

He was a great deal more than "generally lucid." As historian Steven Hayward reminds me, it's worth looking at the transcripts of Reagan's conversations with Gorbachev during the 1988 Moscow summit. Just months before Reagan would leave office, he remained commanding.

@p_m_robinson He was generally lucid until then, but it does seem there were occasional odd moments during his presidency (such as the time he said he was present when the Nazi death camps were liberated). I've long wondered if those were early indicators.
