This was way too long and shallow to be read 2x. There is literally nothing new under the sun there: even in the Akkadian stone (2500 BCE) writings one can read: We have fallen upon evil times and the world has waxed very old and wicked. Politics are very corrupt. Children are no longer respectful to their parents. Similarly, Plato, Horace, but also scholars from Japan and China basically follow this trend from times immemorial (I will not even list contemporary philosophers striking this note). I wonder why is it that there is no recognition (or study) of the mechanisms and processes behind these common phases everyone is so keen to perceive. Narrating examples of where one's world view can explain the subjective interpretations is not a proof of a principle. It just does not have any significance to the broader audience (definitely not to me).
