“Our modern society is terrified of judging anything that's in any way subjective; it's almost like we're scared of human judgment. We create regulations to lower the power of human decision versus society, creating committees, and we encourage group identities while discouraging individual responsibility. The legendary German historian Oswald Spengler said, "Civilization switched into decay when society starts to strangle the individual's sense of judgment and choice and replace it with social collective controls." He feared this process would happen to Western society in the 20th century, which it largely did.” — Whatifalthist
