Battle for Humanity: How Rising Ideological Extremism Could Ignite a Century of Conflict

A Comprehensive Warning: The Clash of Civilizations

The ongoing global tensions can be seen as more than just geopolitical or economic struggles; they are also battles of worldviews, where the West’s rapid embrace of various ideologies is perceived by others as a direct threat to traditional ways of life. If these tensions continue unchecked, we could be heading toward a century-long conflict that is far more intense and existentially threatening than any war we’ve seen before. This is a warning for all humanity — it’s time to confront the truth head-on.

1. Trans-humanism: Worship of Technology and Altered Humanity

Trans-humanism, with its goal of merging human biology with machines, is seen as an affront to the natural order. The quest to transcend human limitations through technological enhancements, including brain-computer interfaces, genetic modification, and cyborg technologies, challenges the very essence of what it means to be human. In traditional societies, this is viewed as a dangerous, premature and hubristic overreach, akin to playing God. The fear is that such practices could lead to a loss of humanity, turning people into something unrecognizable, such as a possible de-evolution over the long run, and fundamentally altering the fabric of society and of biology.

2. Techno-Utopianism: A New Secular Religion

Techno-utopianism, the belief that technology can solve all human problems and create a perfect society, is seen as a naive and dangerous fantasy. This ideology places an almost religious faith in the power of technology, often at the expense of ethical considerations and human welfare. Traditional societies, which value spiritual wisdom and moral guidance, view this as a dangerous departure from the values that have sustained humanity for millennia.

3. AI Worship: The Deification of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being treated as a new deity in main AI tech countries, with some believing it could surpass human intelligence and solve all of humanity’s problems. This belief in AI as a god-like entity, capable of guiding or even ruling over humans, is deeply unsettling to those who hold traditional spiritual beliefs. The fear is that AI, if not properly controlled, could become a tyrannical force, erasing human autonomy and spirituality.

4. Environmental Extremism: Radicalism in the Name of Nature

While environmental stewardship is essential, the rise of environmental extremism has led to a form of nature worship that places the environment above human well-being. This ideology often advocates for extreme measures, such as population control such as de-population through indirect and/or passive aggressive means or de-industrialization, which can be seen as misanthropic. Traditional societies, which balance respect for nature with the needs of human communities, view this as an unbalanced and potentially destructive ideology.

5. Wokeism: A New Social Orthodoxy

Wokeism has evolved into a quasi-religious movement, with its own set of dogmas, rituals (such as cancel culture), and heresies. This movement enforces a rigid conformity to its it’s in house developed moral codes, often through social shaming and ostracism. For those in traditional societies, this is seen as a form of cultural imperialism, imposing Western values in a way that undermines local traditions and social cohesion. The rapid spread of this ideology can lead to deep divisions within and between societies.

6. Identity Politics: The Fragmentation of Society

Identity politics, with its focus on dividing people into oppressed and oppressor groups, is viewed as deeply divisive. This ideology promotes a constant state of conflict between different social groups, undermining the possibility of unity and shared purpose. In traditional societies, which emphasize communal harmony and shared identity, this is seen as a recipe for social disintegration and chaos.

7. The Cult of Celebrities: The New High Priests

The West’s obsession with celebrities and influencers has turned them into modern-day prophets, whose lifestyles and opinions are emulated without question. This cult-like behaviour distracts from meaningful spiritual and moral development, replacing it with shallow consumerism and spectacle. Traditional societies, which revere wisdom and virtue, see this as a corrosive influence that devalues what is truly important in life.

8. Vaccine Fundamentalism: Medical Dogma

While vaccines are a critical tool in public health, the dogmatic approach to their promotion and the shaming of those who question them has taken on a quasi-religious fervour. This fundamentalism can alienate those who have legitimate concerns, leading to a breakdown in trust between the public and health authorities. In traditional societies, where medical decisions are often influenced by a broader consideration of ethical and spiritual factors, this approach can be seen as coercive and disrespectful.

9. Consumerism: The Worship of Material Wealth

The relentless pursuit of material wealth and luxury in the West has become a form of self-worship. This consumerist ideology promotes the idea that happiness and fulfillment come from the accumulation of goods, rather than from spiritual or communal well-being. Traditional societies, which value simplicity, community, and spiritual richness, view this as a shallow and ultimately unfulfilling way of life.

10. Hedonism and Symbolic Extremism: A Descent into Chaos

The West’s increasing embrace of hedonism, characterized by extreme forms of self-expression and the rejection of traditional moral boundaries, is seen as a descent into chaos. Public displays of provocative symbolism, such as naked men walking in front of little girls — such as devil horns, grotesque white face paint, animal heads on t-shirts, veins of black lines on shirts like blood vessels, feathers on head like dragons or lizards that are dangerous on Jurassic Park, black paint on eyes and lips to denote darkness of demon with white face paint, artificial plastic colours that are not part of the natural world, and other disturbing imagery — are viewed as signs of a society that has lost its moral compass. This embrace of chaos is particularly alarming to traditional societies, which value order, decency, and respect for sacred symbols and respect for organic imagery and healthy natural world colours.

The Synergistic Effect: Chaos Multiplied

The most alarming aspect of these trends is their synergistic effect. When multiple forms of ideological extremism and symbolic chaos interact, they create a society that is increasingly difficult to understand or relate to from the perspective of traditional cultures. This can lead to a profound sense of alienation and anger, particularly among those who see these trends as a direct attack on their way of life.

Conclusion: The Need for Honest Reflection

This is not just about one country or one ideology — it’s about the future of humanity. If the West continues down this path, it risks triggering a global conflict of unprecedented scale and intensity. The pressures for these conflicts will only increase over time due to the fact that the ideologies, quasi-religions and religious (mystical and supernatural fascination and worship), are attracting followers over time, in terms of how many people identify with such ideologies. The old world, with its deep spiritual roots and commitment to preserving human dignity, may see itself as defending humanity from a West that has lost its way. The west will dismiss this notion, and the setup for conflict to be guaranteed is complete.

The stakes have never been higher. We must approach these issues with honesty and courage, recognizing that the choices we make today will determine the fate of future generations. It’s time to have a serious conversation about the direction in which we are heading and to consider whether this path truly serves the best interests of humanity.

By acknowledging these concerns and addressing them openly, we can hopefully avoid the catastrophic consequences that could arise from a century-long war of worldviews. The last debate humanity had, over who should own capital, took 100 years of conflict to resolve, and was still not resolved by 2000, and now we have that problem ongoing till the present still as well.

The future is in our hands, but we must act with wisdom and foresight to preserve the humanity we hold dear. We must take these risks seriously and without being dismissive. Then perhaps it would be easier to embrace our humanity and our timeless moral code, to avoid all of these problems, then to live through them.

Note: Ideologies have the potential and ability to evolve into something resembling religions, especially under certain societal pressures and historical conditions. If trends such as the Great Filter (a hypothetical point where civilizations could potentially destroy themselves in the 2030 to 2050 time frame), the Fourth Turning (a theory about cyclical generational shifts leading to crises, which are emerging now), a technological singularity of various technologies and/or an AI singularity, and/or the fall of a reserve currency in USA — were to intensify, the societal impact could lead to the elevation of certain ideologies to quasi-religious status or full religious status.

Here’s how these factors could contribute:

The Great Filter: If society faces existential threats or crises, people might turn to ideologies that promise survival, transcendence, or solutions to these crises. This could involve adopting new rituals, moral codes, and community structures around these ideologies, similar to religious practices.
The Fourth Turning: During times of major societal upheaval and transformation, as described in the Fourth Turning theory, people often seek stability, purpose, and meaning. Ideologies offering clear guidance and a sense of community could take on a religious character as they provide frameworks for navigating these turbulent times.
The Fall of a Reserve Currency: Economic collapse or significant financial instability could lead to widespread disillusionment with existing systems. In such an environment, ideologies promising a new order or revival could gain fervent followings, adopting aspects of religious movements, or full religious movements, including moral imperatives, or immoral imperatives, rituals, and a sense of divine or darkness, and an existential mission.
Technological Singularity: The potential advent of a technological or AI singularity, where artificial intelligence or technology rapidly advances beyond human control, could lead to ideologies that revere technology as a divine or omnipotent force. This could result in the creation of new rituals, ethical codes or unethical codes, and community structures centered around the worship or fear of technology, blurring the lines between ideology and religion.
Climate Catastrophes: If climate change leads to increasingly severe environmental disasters, new ideologies focused on extreme environmentalism could gain traction. These movements might adopt religious-like rituals centered around nature worship, promoting doctrines of environmental purity and sustainability that could resemble religious commandments.
Demographic Declines and Demographic Shifts: Rapid cultural and demographic changes, especially when combined with the decline of traditional religions or values, could lead to the rise of ideologies that seek to fill the void, potentially the religions of those that arrive to the host country (including adversarial religions to the foundations of the host country). These ideologies or religions could offer new identities, communal belonging, and moral frameworks or immoral frameworks, potentially transforming a culture’s frameworks from morality to immorality or from immorality to morality.

If these ideologies continue to gain influence and provide not just political or social guidance but also a deep sense of identity, purpose, and moral and/or immoral framework, they could become as influential and enduring as religions.
