RE: Vlog: Culture: Friend or Foe? Is It Serving the People? Wage Slavery, Rigid Beauty Standards, etc ~ Where Is the Nourishment?

in #vlog7 years ago

Great video. I loved the subject.

Culture is what we have constructed from the material of the past. In a sense, it is no longer alive. So culture isn't 'bad' so much as it is always in a state of death and decay.

It serves us only in so much as it allows the individual freedom to regenerate and revivify that which is dead and decaying, and bring new life to it. If culture stifles the individual, then it destroys itself.

Sort:  

yeah interesting thoughts!! i think the modern culture definitely stifles and "locks us in" to rigid norms that don't really serve us. let it die!! good comment on death and what gives life ;)
