If you have been paying any attention to the culture in the last decade you will have noticed something that I like to call “the flattening of meaning.” This occurs when the culture decides that everything is society is exactly as valuable, meaningful and important as absolutely everything else in society, and everything is given the exact same amount of social status because nothing is more valuable, excellent praiseworthy, worthwhile, beautiful, or important then any other thing. Nothing is inherently, objectively better, more desirable, superior, greater or more excellent any other thing. Everything from fashion choices, to lifestyle choices, to relationship decisions is only considered to be valuable, worthwhile or good as a matter of individual opinion, not as a matter of objective fact. So while individuals might like or appreciate some things more than others, on a social level, everything that exists has exactly the same status as everything else that exists. The idea that some things are to be lifted up above other things is tossed aside and everything is placed on the exact same even plane. The mountain range of culture where some things have a higher status than other things because they are considered to be better, greater, superior, excellent, important, or more meaningful is bulldozed and flattened, and everything is placed on a flattened out cultural plane where everything has the exact same social status as every other thing.Source: https://wokaldistance.substack.com/p/th ... of-meaning
