C.S. Lewis–he didn’t need Tarot cards to see the future.
Storytellers, even fantasy writers, often warn us not to do stupid stuff that makes bad things happen. Very often they’re right. C.S. Lewis certainly was; and the world would have been spared many evils, had we taken his warnings seriously.
Lewis was one of the few thinkers who understood that the end of World War II wasn’t going to be the end of troubles. The Third Reich was smashed, but its evil ideology was loose in the world. And the Soviet Union, with China soon to join in, was more than ready to turn the earth into a slaughterhouse.
Hint: Whenever the nooze of current events sounds like a bit of “Screwtape Proposes a Toast”… it means we’re getting into trouble we should have and could have avoided.
