Ross: The Age of Denial is coming to an end

A colleague asked me if Brett Kavanaugh really did the things he’s accused of, how can he just keep denying it? Well, one reason would be that he’s innocent.

But the other possibility is that he knows there isn’t any conclusive evidence since this all happened long before 2007. That’s the year which changed America forever — when Steve Jobs told a cheering crowd: “This is one device, and we are calling it ‘iPhone.'”
A device so addictive everyone would carry it everywhere. A device, which Jobs noted, included: “On the back, the biggest thing of note, is we got a two mega pixel camera built in.”
And so, instead of drunken parties being a hazy reminiscence, after 2007, people would have a collection drunk selfies — in their pockets! Each one timestamped and with GPS coordinates, too.
So if you’re tired of this tossed salad of vague allegations, take heart. It won’t be that way for long. Ultimately, the history of human accountability will be divided into two ages: the Age of Denial, and the Age of Digital Self-Destruction.
For as we speak, the next generation of high-level appointees is documenting its adolescent indiscretions in meticulous, incontrovertible, thoroughly incriminating detail.
Which should save us all a great deal of time.
