But "cool" is an unattainable myth (because it's about projecting indifference, but to project it right you have to care enough to pay great attention to detail in personal grooming), and so what currently rates as cool may very soon not be. Those who are Calvinists because it is cool to be so, will not last if the cool theological thing becomes open theism or whatever.
