The cherry on top is that it's all fueled even harder by the hyperindividualism that thrived on the second half of the 20th century onward. No sense of community or belonging to a social group, atomised individuals each acting on their own wants and needs, with no cohesive social force to impel a sense of duty to the collective.
Atomising society from the late 70s to today might end up being not only a major historical mistake but a catastrophic one.
- nologic01 3y agoThis atomisization was essential(?) to industrialize the comfort society. But in any case it failed fundamentally on both the social harmony and environmental sustainability axes. Social bonds and ubuntu (finding meaning in others) is something we naturally do. It doesnt take particular superhuman virtue. The question is whether there is an escape path away from the black hole trajectory we are currently falling-in and towards a more meaningful, sustainable and balanced future.
