Part 9/12:
The Threat of Moral Relativism Leading to Societal Collapse
The discussion shifts toward the societal consequences if relativism prevails. Wilson warns that abandoning objective morality undermines family structures, the foundation of social order in many cultures. He argues that the degradation of moral standards fosters chaos, including political tyranny, social upheaval, and even genocides—examples he references to illustrate how misguided moral relativism has historically been exploited for destructive ends.
He emphasizes that the erosion of family and moral order starts with relativistic mindsets promoted at individual and educational levels, which then ripple outward into broader societal decay.
