Western culture has shifted from an unwritten emphasis on moral improvement and character formation for the benefit of the whole to one of a celebration of the Self in the absence of any and all moral restraints. In such a scenario, the baser impulses of human nature will overwhelm the higher impulses and the society resulting from this will disintegrate into strongman factions.

Or the absurdity of politicians and corporations trying to use social politics to distract and divide (and conquer) us who cares what genitals people have? Who cares if you make a racist joke? Who cares if you deface Churchill’s statues bc he’s a genocidal white supremacist? Just be kind to those around you and then we can all focus on improving the material conditions of life in this country. Be kind to people, be ruthless to systems

If you give freely of yourself and expect NOTHING in return, you are not necessarily in a weak position. I can be kind everyday and still have boundaries. Being genuine and generous is not a weakness. Expecting people to behave a certain way in response to kindness is not the contract. I swear to you, if you are kind without strings you will live a happy life.
Yeah, in the case of America, our founders’ singular greatest failure was in underestimating how quickly our population would grow. If you had asked them how long it would take to get to 300 million, they’d have said “2350 AD, at the earliest”. This is relevant because our electoral college system is perhaps the most brilliant equalizer of power devised, and had we grown more slowly, would have been fine, the states would have adapted, but at the rapid rate we’ve actually had? Each state with a population over a million should have its own electoral college system for electing their governors, and each city or county with a population over a million should have an electoral college for mayor! That’s what should have been in our constitution. America, and by extension our influence on the world, would be in a much better place today.

The Judeo-Christian worldview is behind the good aspects of Western Culture. God who gave it says: "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2 Chron 7:14)
@@go0ose How can you call the following values nonsense. Your security depends on it: Here are 10 of those values. No. 1: There is one God. That God is the God introduced to the world by the Hebrew Bible - the source of one universal morality. No. 2: The Hebrew Bible (the only Bible Jesus knew and which he frequently cited) introduced the most revolutionary moral idea in history: that there are objective moral truths just as there are mathematical and scientific truths. Without God as the source of moral standards, there is no moral truth; there are only moral opinions. No. 3: Because there are moral truths, good and evil are the same for all people. No. 4: God - not man, not government, not popular opinion, not a democratic vote - is the source of our rights. All men “are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,” declares the American Declaration of Independence. No. 5: The human being is “created in the image of God.” Therefore, each human life is precious. Therefore, race is of no significance, since we are all created in God’s image and God has no race. No. 6: The world is based on a divine order, meaning divinely ordained distinctions. Among these divine distinctions are God and man, man and woman, human and animal, good and evil, nature and God, and the holy and the profane. No. 7: Man is not basically good. Christians speak of “original sin” in referring to man’s sinful nature; Jews cite God Himself in Genesis: “The will of man’s heart is evil from his youth” (Genesis 8:21). They are not identical beliefs, but they are both worlds apart from the naive Enlightenment belief that man is basically good. And they come to the same conclusion: we need God-based rules to keep us from our natural inclination to do evil. No. 8: Therefore, we must not follow our hearts. Both religious Jews and Christians are keenly aware of how morally dangerous it is to be led by our emotions. Those who reject Judeo-Christian values are far more likely to follow and promote the advice, “Follow your heart.” No. 9: God gave us the Ten Commandments - the core of Judeo-Christian values. Therefore, to apply but one of the Ten Commandments to our morally confused secular age, you must “Honor your father and mother” even if they voted for someone you loathe - meaning, at the least, remain in contact with them and do not dare deprive them of the right to be in contact with their grandchildren. No. 10: Human beings have free will. In the secular world, there is no free will because all human behavior is attributed to biology and environment. Only a religious worldview, because it posits the existence of a divine soul - something independent of biology and environment - allows for free will.

Large cities are a bad idea. No one knows anyone. Small communities work because you know who can be trusted or not. Add in the idea that some are more equal than others and you have modern politics. So you end up with masses of ill-informed voters trying to get favours from a political elite, who in turn by the votes with promises of favourable treatment. This was why the smart greek philosophers didn't like democracy back when it was invented. It you give people a choice, 60% of the population will vote for the politicans who will loot the other 40% and give some to them. They will also loot the treasury's and pass the debt to someone else. It is nothing new it has been happening for a long time. Empires come and go usually after political policy.

Yes! That's a book out of Alexander Scholchenezen 's 1978 Harvard University Speech
Tolerance makes you look weak in eyes of your aggressor.
More importantly, atonement cannot be made for a grievance never committed.
Tolerance and Empathy are the last virtues of a dying society... Aristotle.
Cain and Abel
Cain offed Abel. So, that means evil always wins? What your point?
Islam vs Christians
Large cities are a bad idea.
No one knows anyone.
Small communities work because you know who can be trusted or not.
Add in the idea that some are more equal than others and you have modern politics.
So you end up with masses of ill-informed voters trying to get favours from a political elite, who in turn by the votes with promises of favourable treatment.
This was why the smart greek philosophers didn't like democracy back when it was invented.
It you give people a choice, 60% of the population will vote for the politicans who will loot the other 40% and give some to them.
They will also loot the treasury's and pass the debt to someone else.
It is nothing new it has been happening for a long time.
Empires come and go usually after political policy.
@HoagyMacintoshSherriff little boxes, listen to the song.
I grew up with a Forrest for a back yard, rode horses, drove fire trucks, swam in rivers, ate things l found growing wild, all before l was 10.
But some love dystopia,
I agree, you head doctors really helped wreck our society. Who has been preaching tolerance and different positions longer than anyone else? who let you know your feelings are wrong andyou need to change. And if you still can't comply, obviously you need medication.
We deserve what we tolerate
Too short a clip. Needs more context, examples, details.
We can survive it
We just need a new why
⚡️❤️💜💙⚡️
Well, maybe Putin will help with that.
Ek dam correct.
Guy is so right
Reminds me of the wisdom of Roger Scruton.
What’s the “most tolerant culture the world has ever seen” that he’s referring to?
Very apparent now. The morals we grew up with are being ignored. This election will show a lot.
Plato predicted this 3,000 years ago. Read his critique of democracy in The Republic
Psalm 94:1-3
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Luke 6:35
Eph. 2:10
The Lord commands His people to do good.
The USA today stands at the edge of the Abyss.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” It's a quote routinely attributed to Edmund Burke.
Anti-social media doesn't help
Culture means so many things to different people If you could be specific / frame the way Culture is being attacked by sledgehammer...
You have to keep in mind that humanity is the only species on the planet with a negative value.
The reason that the collapse is excelling is that enough people are comfortable enough to ignore or support th collapse
The desperate disloyalty toward reason and sensibility will finish the British Commonwealth/Europe and more than likely the 21st century itself.
Men havent been allowed to say NO
Psychopath says society is collapsing & psychiatrists agree
This is where academics come into play. Society has to draw a line in the sand and say this is where we stop and this is what defines the traditional values which we stand for much to the same critical reasoning used when one can describe why we do not support solopsism.
If you watch the entire program the message is different than this short clip would imply.
Yes but sadly people DON'T watch entire arguments and make their minds up from very small amounts of information. Another aspect of society that McGhilchrist is wont to point out!
That rings so true! This clip is entirely at the abstract level. There’s bound to be some facts, names, dates, etc., but not in this clip.
@@davidwright9800 Safer that way. Including specifics gets you cancelled.
@@lesleyvivien2876 a good reminder that social media is biased in favor of vibes & feels & against falsifiable claims
Basically, accepting the bullying culture has now backfired. Love every second of this failed system collapsing
The end is always nigh.
Since 1980 it has become a squirrel factory churning out nuts.
I predict this 40 years a go.
I had a smart teacher , a monk.
Typical Western arrogance and exceptionalism. I have lived and worked in 6 different countries on 5 continents, including USA, EU, Australia… and those places had cultures with the least tolerance. I learned true kindness and tolerance in places like Indonesia, Peru and Ecuador.
18th and 19th century Western countries were the most tolerant culture the world has ever seen...
Every dog has its day in the sun. And then it slides into death
WEF is to blame.
It's nothing more than living a lie(s) for too long.
His own ideology produced the collapse and now he announces it to us not without some celebration and pride, like every criminal who confesses and flaunts it.
Australia's ABC leading the charge
All by design!
Romans chapter 1 in the King James Bible explains in detail what Almighty God does to wicked , perverted , atheist populations.
He leaves them to their own devices for self-destruction.
Uncleanness v 24
Vile affections verse 26
Reprobate minds v 28.
No political system will heal spiritual desolation.
This is the root of all. Amen.
Well, what is your Sky Daddy going to do about the Muslim Sky Daddy taking his place?

Revelation 20 : 11-15 KJV .
Quite!
BS in. BS out. Intelligent, honest, and successful outcomes are impossible when society is expected to pretend and accept the nonsensical and unrealistic demands by a few on a culture. Common sense speaks volumes. Listen to it.
I blame Thatcher.
We traded Christianity in its many forms for the false hope of Marxism. Whether we pursue Communism, Fascism, or Socialism we will suffer to the degree we emprace that religion and its lies with their false promises. Lord, have mercy and please grant us true, genuine repentance.
Which culture is he talking about ?
