I kind of believe it. I think before monotheism people were much more free and diverse in their thinking. They were more just natural to their own beliefs and human nature. The greeks and Egyptians loved culture. They loved to see about how other humans were living in the world. The most celebrated people in Athens for example were often travellers because everyone wanted to hear their stories from far off lands.
In modern times the culture is extremely strict. Everything from your beliefs to your clothing is heavily policed by the culture. I think this is the main reason you can hardly find a person anymore that has any original ideas. Our DNA is degenerating.

Interesting rephrasing of the fascist concept of degenerate modernity, bro

Fascists are the most degenerate people, I’m not sure how you could possibly take that from my statement unless you literally didn’t read what I wrote.
To make it clearer, I’m saying humanity is degenerating because people are no longer free and our society rewards the wrong things, like conformity, submission to authority, duplicity, selfishness, evil politicians and giant corporations. Your average American today is voting for mass surveillance, millions of cops, and corporate finance of politics and the eraser of citizenship, brainwashing, censorship, disarming the population, giving the rich not only low taxes but access to unlimited nearly free loans that don’t even match inflation, and they still can’t make the economy good. This is what American voters vote for, they are incredibly stupid. In fact I’m going to start telling Americans how stupid they are when I see them for voting for mass surveillance and bot farms and algorithmic brainwashing, horrible economics, complete technology serfdom by having everything in their nation corporatized. I think you should tell them too. I don’t think they realize what they vote for election after election they are too distracted with the extreme fear based politics of the corporate media.
