Part 3/15:
A haunting thesis emerges: modern civilization, particularly in the West, operates as a machinery of mass dehumanization. Its core purpose is to strip away individual humanity, molding populations into uniform cogwheels to sustain an endless industrial system. Everything about us—our identities, relationships, and values—is commodified, especially online. Identity theft, data breaches, and the invasion of personal info serve as tangible signs of this depersonalization. While technological progress has elevated living standards, it has simultaneously eroded the soul, disconnecting people from genuine human experiences such as religion, culture, and community.
