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

Yeah it is that simple

Religion has been very very important

We can see where religion has faded

Great pathologies emerge
