Part 6/20:
Nze, a thinker from the late 19th century, predicted that the West, buoyed by wealth and industrialization, would develop a culture of moral degeneracy and nihilism—what he called the “Age of the Last Men.” This society would prioritize tearing down greatness and beauty, fostering weakness and stagnation. Today, this prophecy seems painfully accurate, with society actively promoting degrowth, deindustrialization, and even the destruction of its own cultural and technological inheritance.
