Please read this cross-post that I sent out April 17th, it is essentially your Philosophy textbook for these times. Predatory economies in the Spodocene (by Hakan Illatikdi) as translated on ISMAELE's site. This article replaces all previous references, such as people quoting from "The End of History and the Last Man" - Francis Fukuyama, 1992, an extension of the "Fin de siècle" concept of the late 19th Century Europe.
As well, there are issues with cross-posts. Any comments you may wish to write go to the original article, I don't see them. If you look for my comment on that original article, you could write a reply to that and then I get notified of your comment.
None of my articles have anything to do with AI at all, and this Spodocene article is also actual, genuine thought and writing.

Too many writers have embraced AI in their writing and people use it in comments! AI is only a rehash of the past, it is not critical thinking. This Spodocene article is excellent in describing this dying "Western" culture. I have forwarded it to Prof. Warwick Powell with a note that this doesn't really apply to China. China (and Russia) are actually building a future for themselves. Unlike Canada, which has jumped with both feet into the Spodocene trap.
To help with understanding this topic, check out the writer's first article on the Spodocene, "The Spodocene: inhabiting the ruins of progress".
Note that this predatory system will spend billions on nonsense projects such as Moon colonization, in order to further bankrupt society, steal your time and steal your future. This all should be particularly alarming to young people.
