“Does the state of the world seem normal to you?” This is the question I asked my followers this week.

I deliberately left the meaning of “normal” open to interpretation, simply suggesting that by “normal,” I mean waking up in the morning and not thinking that everything around you feels crazy.

Despite the open interpretation, the responses were almost unanimous: none of the hundreds of people who answered feel that the current world seems “normal,” both within my bubble and outside of it. This is significant because someone might think that what seems normal to some could seem absurd to others.

Almost everyone senses that something is off. My grandparents, who lived through bombings in their courtyards alongside German soldiers— by those later described by history as “Allies”—probably didn’t have this constant feeling of perpetual madness.

Ted Kaczynski described this widespread malaise in Western societies very clearly, pointing the finger at technology: an oppressive tool of mass manipulation, endlessly searching for lost meaning in people’s lives. He believed that recent technological advancements had “destabilized society and made our lives empty, unsatisfactory, and undignified.”

As those who have followed me for a long time know, I believe that the reason for this malaise might not lie in technology itself, but rather in the transition from the industrial age to the digital age, and in having taken Enlightenment principles to their extreme consequences, detaching us from fundamental human values and our spiritual roots.

Some would say that this transition is also cosmological: linked to the approaching end of the so-called Platonic month¹, a 2150-year period related to the phenomenon of the precession of the Earth’s equinoxes.1 A Technological and Cosmological Transition

According to Jung (Aion, 1951), Western civilization as a whole follows the path of the Platonic months, which in turn determine a kind of “precession of cultural and religious archetypes.”
