The downvotes are showing that you're right. People have lost faith.
Today people believe science. It explains that humans are born not because of love, but cells interaction when people have sex. Science explains way more things than religion.
At the same time (and paradoxically) people have stopped respecting the truth. The power is what matters. Because people with power are those who create the truth that affects you and your life.
The consequence is that societies are transforming into hierarchies, where top levels feed on lower levels. Just like in the animal world. Just like what we do with cattle.
Thus, the modern sense of life is to reach the higher position in hierarchy. To raise your status. The ever expanding gap between rich and poor only catalyzes this primal meaning of life, causes everyone else to follow it. Otherwise, you and your descendants are doomed to stay low for many generations ahead, and extinct in the case of cataclysms.
For example, in Ukraine many civilians have died because they couldn't leave their homes in the war zone - they have nowhere to go and no resources to afford living elsewhere. At the same time, some deputies and oligarchs are freely travel to Dubai or other luxury places, while there is still war in Ukraine.
This world is fucked.
- alfor 4y agoI find more and more that downvote of HN are a sign of a good post. I was on the leftist side all my life without knowing it, it was the water I was swimming in. I agree that love/truth in the christian sense is what is missing. The secret ingredient that make everything work much better. People think that without religion we will just be rational good humans and we will create an utopia. It turn out we become closer to our animal part that is more ready to grab and fight then self sacrifice for future generations or for the other humans.
