Nietzsche's Influence on American Cynicism
American society is experiencing a growing sense of cynicism where people feel increasingly distrustful of others. This lack of trust is fueled by the belief that individuals prioritize their self-interest over keeping promises or telling the truth. This cynicism is leading to a perception that everyone is merely putting on a facade and lacks genuine sincerity. The influence of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy, particularly the idea of a 'God is dead,' is contributing to this cultural and psychological shift towards cynicism.
