One friend sent this excerpt from Oswald Spengler:
“This machine-technics will end with the Faustian civilization and one day will lie in fragments, forgotten — our railways and steamships as dead as the Roman roads and the Chinese wall, our giant cities and skyscrapers in ruins like old Memphis and Babylon. The history of this technics is fast drawing to its inevitable close. It will be eaten up from within, like the grand forms of any and every Culture. When, and in what fashion, we know not.”
Here is what I wrote in response:
I don’t know whether such doomsaying predictions have any basis in the dynamics of our society or not, but one thing quite evident from the prism of history is that humankind elevated itself form a very violent state of affairs to a comparatively peaceful state and of course it’s due to certain rules that they bound themselves to follow and essentially not the material betterment.
But I fear two things: abandonment of moral values and return to the feral roots of our society.
The Left, and more than that its sophisticated form, or an amalgam of various Left-leaning ideologies, oblivious of moral sensibility, the Wokeism has all the power to destroy what the humanity has achieved so far.
