Part 5/15:
This cultural transformation is linked to the collapse of traditional structures such as religion, hierarchy, and genuine human struggle. As societies prioritized equality and individualism, they inadvertently eroded the very foundations that fostered authenticity and meaning. The author posits that this period has transformed Western civilization into a society dominated by manufactured narratives, where genuine understanding has been sacrificed for ideological conformity. The narrative suggests that the modern worldview—marked by a belief that history and progress are linear, inevitable, and ever-advancing—is fundamentally flawed and rooted in illusions propagated by the ruling elite.
