This is something I’ve been thinking about lately. Once this thought came to me I started seeing it in so many aspects of our world that I figured I’d hash it out in an effortpost to see what other people think.
Is modern society losing it’s connection with objective reality? I’m starting to think that this is an underlying cause of so much of the malaise that has been gripping Western society. You can see it in so many aspects of society. Many of them are deeply inter-related and one can certainly follow from the other, but they can still be broken out into broad categories. The following are a few of the obvious ones, you can surely apply this idea to others such as politics, law, economics, science, work, food, and so on.
Mental illness is an obvious outcome of some of these situations, especially transgenderism, abortion, and drug use. It also seems like an obvious outcome of atheism, although that might require some more thought to make the connection. I wouldn’t be surprised if mental illness is in some way also linked with forms of art and entertainment that have little connection to reality, and that will require some more thought as well.
I’m interested in hearing other people’s thoughts on this.
