This is the result of a culture that has turned from Christ. From Proverbs 8, talking about the wisdom that resides with God:

Proverbs 8:36

"But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul:

all they that hate me love death."

As E Michael Jones is often fond of saying, without the laws of God as a foundation, the laws of men are no more than the opinions of the powerful.

I was a hospice volunteer for five years when I lived in Pasadena (15 years ago). I sat with many dying people, seven of whom died while I was caring for them. They faced death with various degrees of worry, regret, and peace. Getting the opportunity to be with them and listen as they were approaching their end has been one of the great experiences and blessings of my life. I'm likely much less religious than many on this board, but I do think Jesus said we should care for the sick and dying. I'm blessed that I was given an opportunity to do so.

The "all is beauty" clip makes me feel physically ill and incredibly angry. Death is inevitable and comes for us all, but it's not the beautiful scene depicted in the pagan ritualistic prancing in the "all is beauty" clip. The self-delusion of the narrator reminds me of one of the human sacrifice scenes in "The Vikings" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuhBDkIn_RM) where drugged out men are slain for their gods. At least the characters in the tv show were not as self-indulgent. The gods they uselessly sacrificed themselves for were not themselves.

I've heard some horrible things about changes in attitudes in the hospice care community because of things like MAiD. I'm beyond mad, and beyond sad.

Zarathustra described the 21st century about 130 yrs ago:

"Nothing is true, all is permitted."

There is no better description of our nihilistic zeitgeist.

Ignoring the culture is what works best for me. Focus on your "own world" and what you can control.

I guess when people loose all hope this is what you get. They will be surprised when they end up in hell but they will be a day late and a dollar short.

There is no opting out. This culture, like it's politics, offers nothing but despair to even the most hopeful of optimists. The greatest joy among the degenerate is assailing the pure.

"I can’t fuck you and you might make me sick, so maybe you should just be dead."

Post-2020 world in a nutshell :(

This is a logical progression of that which led to the abortion movement.

Wow. There are those differences about which reasonable minds can disagree, but then there are those differences that are non-negotiable, where the person is not merely unreasonable but has completely lost his humanity. Scott Weiner is such a cretin. There is no negotiating with him or with anyone who shares his worldview or agenda. Weiner is a groomer, and calling him a piece of shit is unfair to all the pieces of shit out there that fertilize the soil -- at least they have some redeeming value; Weiner has none, by his own choice. Dude is a literal demon wearing a soyboy meatsuit.

I hope these people are tortured by Satan himself.

Terrifying - but it touches on something.

Worrying that the most optimistic interpretation is that this is all related to the baby-boom generation reaching their twilight years. The demographic bulge that had growing prosperity all their lives, never had to fight a war and cashed in on 'repressive' social norms dissolving all around them, now finds that the bell still tolls for them. And they have the lion's share of the wealth so advertising/media reflect their preoccupations.

I really hope that's all that's happening.

The dead walk among us, and they surely must love a crowd for all their bellowing inclusiveness to draw in the mindless masses who have forgotten or never knew how to live.

Another cycle in the wheel-

cultural excess breeds cultural Puritanism, after a very brief window of knee-jerk moderation/balance. Then off we go again.

But not for me and my family! we just don’t care. We saw it all clearly at the very beginning and simply ignored it all. Made some detours but we never fell for any of it. Let the dummies destroy themselves, they choose to do so. We choose success in building our own future. People have been doing so for 10,000 years.
