Chaos Breeds Collapse
Nietzsche's insight into the potential mass demise following the rise of replacement ideologies reflects a deeper historical pattern, as documented by Murchir Eliade, the eminent historian of religions. This pattern reveals a recurring theme of cultural destruction tied to the collapse of unifying orders and loss of faith in foundational beliefs. The Enuma Elish, an ancient Mesopotamian creation myth, exemplifies this theme, illustrating how careless and disunified motivational states can undermine the principles of existence, leading to self-destruction while attempting to persist on a decaying foundation. Such narratives emphasize the detrimental impact of disintegration upon societal cohesion and cultural vitality.
