Brian, I couldn't agree more with your sentiments on the necessity of constraint.

Taken your position (that there are really no ideological answers to such profound cultural/spiritual problems) do you see any public role for yourself today as one individual( among perhaps a growing number) who is beginning/willing to consistently call for a shift in our internal moral demand system (less impulse, more inhibition or more no and less yes)--despite( among many issues) the dangerous personal will to power issues seemingly involved in such a stance?

There is certainly a secular cultural clerisy quite prominent in liberal circles that seems quite happy to (and already has) stepped into such a cultural role.

Mythic values contain valuable "partial truths", but in themselves are inadequate to support the infrastructure of modern-rational systems and institutions and protect them against disruption by ILLIBERALISM.
