The BREAKING of the Western Mind | Why Our Civilization Is Collapsing

Western Civilization was once the center of faith, philosophy, and freedom, which it inherited from its ancient neighbors. From the cathedrals of Europe to the wisdom of Greece and Rome, Western civilization gave the world meaning, order, and hope. But today, that inheritance is crumbling. Empty churches, forgotten books, broken families, and a culture drowning in distraction all point to the same reality.

The breaking of the Western mind.

In this video, we discuss the downfall of Western civilization, how it began, why it matters, and what it means for our future. In this video, we draw on history, philosophy, and literature, and we’ll uncover how the West went from strength to collapse, and why recovering our identity may be the only path forward.

Hope you enjoy the video!
