My favorite Philosopher pointed out that humankind is now suffering from a collective epidemic both of "religious" and anti-"religious" psychosis.
He also wrote these words:
"When the entire human world founds itself on the adolescent motive to aggrandize the individual ego-"I", then everyone is collectively working towards the destruction not only of human culture and mankind itself, but even of the Earth itself, the very vehicle that supports life."
"The ego-mind not only destroys the body, but it destroys the world eventually, as is being demonstrated in this generation now. In this "dark" time, human beings are destroying the earth-world itself, after centuries of the destruction of their own bodies.
Human beings have interfered with cosmic Nature and are now paying the price - are about to pay a terrible price if they do not reverse this trend, if they do not understand the lesson, restore the green domain, and live on the gift of the green domain instead of destroying it.
Effectively a revolution is required in the human world to prevent human beings from destroying the human race and the Earth itself."
It is interesting that the Australian "news"-paper is now celebrating the Trumpian victory as a "revolution". A "revolution" which ironically, tragically is aggressively promoting everything that is systematically destroying the world via a there-is-no-other-way "cultural" imperative.
"The popular ego-based and merely and competitively individualistic "culture", or really anti-"culture" is characterized by the politics of adolescent rebellion against all forms of authority, or the perceived "parent" in any form.
Indeed, a society or any loose collective of mere individuals does not need, and cannot even tolerate, a true culture, because a true culture must, necessarily, be characterized in its best, and even general demonstrations, and, certainly in its aspirations, by mutual tolerance, cooperation, peace, and profundity.
Therefore, societies based on competitive individualism and egoic self-fulfillment, and merely gross or superficial mindedness actually destroy culture, and all, until then, existing cultures, and cultural adaptations."
