What will come after the collapse of the “Western world”?

Question from the Internet:

“Why is western society so advanced and more powerful than the rest of the world? And why does the rest of the world want to copy the western civilization instead of preserving their own and making it better?”

The Western world, the so-called “Western values” symbolize and best express our inherently self-serving, self-justifying, individualistic and hedonistic nature.

The excessive overconsumption, the ruthless competition at each other’s expense while depleting Nature’s resources regardless of the consequences, is the truest expression of our inherent human ego. And within the Western world, the US symbolizes these hedonistic and egoistic qualities and values the best.

This is why most people admired and coveted the “American Dream” even if many of its aspects and external expressions we find “revolting”. But we all want unlimited power, wealth and control over others — knowingly or unknowingly. This is why even nations with millennia-long cultures succumb to the “Western ideal”.

The problem is that this hedonistic and egoistic existence — that resembles the behaviour of cancer — has now reached a breaking point. We are facing a very real state of self-destruction that could be triggered at any moment from multiple, seemingly unrelated sources and places.

The Western world is collapsing exactly how the Roman Empire collapsed about 2 thousand years ago because this hedonistic, egoistic lifestyle is incompatible with Nature’s strict and unforgiving laws that govern the general balance and homeostasis life depends on.

We can still steer this inevitable collapse from wars and complete socio-economic collapse toward a conscious and purposeful rebuilding of human society. But this time, instead of using our arbitrary and unfounded ideologies and philosophies that are all based on our inherent nature for rebuilding, we need to use Nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated template.
