#065 Extera: Reflections on Nihilism - Mitigating the Pitfall Future Design Podcast

Nihilism is permeating in Western Societies but it's starting to spread across the world. Distrust in politics, economy, financial markets, science, and perhaps even technology.  It isn't just the bifurcation of ideology but the classification of people, failed monetary policies, diversion from value to price, and widespread misinformation and propaganda. Has everything lost its meaning and value?

In this episode, we bring back Jim Mosquera from Episode #24 Reflections on Freedom, to talk about why there's nihilism in pretty much everything we see today and the way out of it. Perhaps we are at the end of the era of Pax Americana and heading towards the Dark Ages. However, we discuss there is a way to mitigate this situation.

Here's what we talk about in this episode,
- Decimation of religion debased morality
- Digitisation of society weakens the physical social fabric
- Categorisation of people widens gaps in society
- Ambiguity created by relying on science
- Decentralisation is about localizing
