The Grandest Illusion: Our Culture, Our Inheritance, Our Burden
The Way In and a Way Out from the Nightmare of History
Have you ever wondered how of all the cultures that have walked the face of the earth, why anyone in particular should arise to be so dominant and influential the world over as is Western Culture?
And have you wondered about its peculiarities…the cultural traits making ones culture stand out amongst the others? And what about the uglier aspects of culture?
Such as the ones that make some of us wonder if life has to be this way or how did our world come to be what it is? Why the great disparities, injustices and outright horrors in a culture purporting to be so civilized, advanced and just plain good for everybody?
What if I told you that every core cultural trait of Western Civilization is essentially unchanged since its Sumerian conception around 6000 years ago–that only our technology, architecture and clothes have changed.
What if I told you that Western Civilization has inherent cultural flaws that will compel it to cannibalize itself and others, over and over again as it has countless times since it first appeared.
