or other peoples' good opinions of them
having others think highly of you is easy, just use big words, flatter everyone and wear a suit
I think its deeper than that though it may be rationalized that way in their heads
Its such a basic drive
Its absence is exceptional and requires an exceptional explanation
Its taken for granted
That too is secondarily exceptional
So one, a big deal and two, not thinking a big deal is a big deal
Two problems both both not easily explainable by immediate causes
People must have changed a lot
How they did may be somewhat understandable but why they did in the first place is not so
Not having children is the sign of a deeply rooted nihilism
The urge to have kids got replaced by the urge to have sex
A belief in the transience and meaninglessness of existence
I think the pill really was the tipping point
good thought
Metaphysically
But not noticing or caring
Is beyond that
It is spiritual death
I often look at facilitative roles of tech in social trends, I think that's an often overlooked contributor. I think you are right about spiritual death, but I'd argue there's more tech now to facilitate it, i.e. spiritual death is cheaper and more available and higher quality than ever before
The world encourages this stuff toi
Our societies
As they are evil
yeah, and they create tech to do it better every day
Tools of Ahriman
But that is secondary always remember
Without susceptible people
This age would be unachievable
well yeah, I agree spiritual death comes first
I mean if there are products, it implies a market existed for people to sell to
Simple lack of religion, godlessness, unmoors one from reality
Nig
Reality becomes abstracted away
Without an external meaningful lynchpin of existence
Ger
yeah
Any error can be believed from godlessness
religion is direction in all aspects of life, the only alternative is nihilism
yeah
Disagree completely
