  • Capitalism absolutely but philosophical objectivism and materialism are also issues. You have to have some sort of spiritual belief in the sanctity of life for a society to be sustainable. Spiritual not necessarily in a religious sense. Moreso an understanding that we are all interconnected (the antithesis of Western individualism).

    Let’s just say the enlightment period had some good ideas and brought about positive change, especially in the short term, but the wisdom of that philosophical thought is not all encompassing, even though people (especially Westerners) often treat it like it is.
