After some thousand years we learned to articulate socioeconomical problems and talk about pretend scenario without actually enacting them, but the hierarchy of value is more or less the same: occudental world was still deeply christian/judaic as recently as two generations ago and while we advanced fast on certain topics (family structure, for example) we’ve grown up to about gen x with the same values as expressed by those myths proposed during our upbringing by school, tv shows, cartoons etc.
