Nietzsche vs Hegel

>Pic related was considered a battle between two intellectual titans, the equivalent of Chomsky and Foucault
>The likes of Peterson and Shapiro are considered public intellectuals.
>There hasnt been a masterpiece novel written within the past 50 years and the amount of good stuff being released is dwindling and the amount of YA schlock is increasing
>All the great writers are dying one by one and there is no one to carry on the literary tradition. There is not one good writer below the age of 45.
>Once Bloom dies there will be no one to carry on the canon
>The funding for libraries keeps being cut and they are now basically community centers and areas for neoliberal bougeois "activism" which amazon will soon replace
>Universities have been infiltrated hardcore by neoliberal ideology and they are basically trade schools now to turn people into bugmen/coding monkeys
What the fuck is wrong with the 21st century? Will art and critical thinking finnally die? Will things ever get better?
