I don't know if it's just me, but I've noticed that people are a lot more jaded and cynical?
My theory - not all people are more cynical,but only we,who belong to western cyvilisation.And only becouse our cyvilization is in period of loosing faith in its roots.Nothing new,really.
We could start belive again,which happened few times in history,or not - and be replaced by people belonging to other cyvilisations,who would be full of faith in their belifs.
Happened many times,best case - romans.Germanic tribes who had 200.000 people each each destroyed empire with 500.000 army.Why - people stop beliving.
Seneca,i think said something like " when man do not want to fight,and woman wear transparent dresses,it is beginning of end"
But - his empire survived 400 years after his death/well,let say 300,rest was slow dying/ so i do not think he was right.romans survived quite long being cynical.
