| 50 <p>Why is modern culture the worst culture in history? Cultures have a natural life-cycle beginning with a rise and ending with a fall caused by decay. The culture ends when the decay causes the culture to be too dysfunctional to survive. Cultural decay is similar across historical cultures and is well <a href="/mikraite/Modern_Culture.html">described in the Old Testament</a>. What is different this time is that technology sustains modern culture beyond the normal point of collapse. Without modern technology, modern culture would collapse overnight. So modern culture is more decayed than any culture in history. Never has the world seen such a level of evil. Besides modern culture, we now also have a number of welfare cultures that are sustained by welfare rather than by technology. These culture are as bad as modern culture is. An example is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mountain-People-Colin-M-Turnbull/dp/0671640984/">The Mountain People</a> who live in an unnatural environment for them, in contrast to <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Forest-People-Colin-Turnbull/dp/0671640992/">The Forest People</a> who live in a natural environment and feed themselves.</p> | 50 <p>Why is modern culture the worst culture in history?

| 52 <p>If you are not a psychopath, then you will fail at everything in modern culture. Fail at business, fail with women, fail at anything that involves people. Modern scum hate non-psychopaths. Since modern scum hate all good things, anything good you make will be hated by modern scum. To be successful at anything, you must leave modern culture.</p> | 52 <p>If you are not a psychopath, then you will fail at everything in modern culture.

| 54 <p>While cultures cannot be strictly defined, it is useful to look for public metrics that strongly correlate with a culture in order to roughly categorize which societies belong to that culture. I believe that the metric that best correlates with the presence of modern culture in a society is the illegitimacy rate. Societies with an illegitimacy rate over 10% are almost certainly part of modern culture. So it is worth investigating the illegitimacy rate of countries that you are considering. You can find some illegitimacy rates <a href="https://webfs.oecd.org/els-com/Family_Database/SF_2_4_Share_births_outside_marriage.pdf">here</a>.</p> | |
