As I argued extensively in the book, in order to understand culture, we have to identify what I call the basic units of cultural analysis and understanding. And these are worldviews, large scale, Major, historically significant worldviews. And these worldviews in a sense track the evolution of human history over the last several 100 years, right. So, so a way of understanding this is that in the enlightenment, you know, between the late 17th century and throughout the 18th century, in Western Europe, there occurred an awakening an emergence, a new kind of cultural understanding, a new epistemology and new ontology it brought about science, it brought about democracy, it brought about a new way of thinking about society that transformed the world and invested the European nations that adopted this enlightened layman perspective, as well as the United States which was founded on this perspective. It gave them immense new power, which they used for good and for ill. In other words, colonialism, right? Environmental degradation, all of the results of the emergence of modernity, as it's sometimes called. Are showing that certainly modernism can't be the end of history, right? That it's not sustainable, environmentally, or even culturally. But it has brought tremendous gifts, and one of the gifts that, but understanding that modernity is not just the Industrial Revolution. It's not just the advent of science. What brings about the gifts of modernity is a new kind of consciousness, right? A new cultural agreement structure that coheres as a historically significant, multi generational worldview. And this modernist perspective, this modernists way of thinking is what generates the conditions required for democracy. It generates the conditions required for a robust, a healthy, modern economy right. With it, one of the things that's often overlooked when people think about modernism is tha, for the countries despite the inequality, right. Despite again, just bracketing the pathologies of modernity for a moment. One of the things that modernity has brought to the to the cultures and countries that is that have managed to adopt it as a as a sort of governing philosophy. And a cultural agreement is what's known as the Great Enrichment. Humility is a prerequisite to growth. So certainly when any form of culture or a person adopts a stance of arrogance, then they're affording their own ability to become better, right. So, so certainly, arrogance is something we can condemn. And we can see arrogance, of course, in almost every cultural structure and situation. But one of the one of the goals of the developmental philosophies understanding of cultural evolution that I'm arguing for, is it it gives us a sympathy and an appreciation of every step of human development That there's this natural tendency to condemn what came before or to vilify it. In other words, one way you could say is that, as the steps of worldly development unfold, the god of one becomes the devil of the next. So progress was, in a sense, the god of modernity. So, so speaking to the arrogance of modernity, certainly is something is, is a pathology of it, a blind spot of it, and the root of many of its pathologies. But we can also of course, point to the arrogance of of traditionalism. Of every they were arrogant notions, ethnocentric notions., in every one of the great religious civilizations, right. Some had the more strongly than others. We could go prior to the emergence of writing and the organization of religious civilization, to the tribal level, the pre literate level, and there's deep wisdom, Earth knowing, that has been lost. That we need to recover. So another way of understanding this is that we want to transcend the current situation. But the degree of our transcendence is partially measured by the scope of our inclusion. Not only we have to try to go beyond, we also have to try to better include what came before. And that certainly includes indigenous wisdom. There's a world historical fact, that is this cultural worldview, which is roiling American politics, its emergence is a real thing and our ability to see it and not just flinch from the fact that there may be parts of us that we don't like or parts that we don't want identify with. What I'm offering is a perspective that attempts to stack out higher ground, an outside and above perspective, that can see these worldviews not only from within, right from within our own political identity, but from without as well. So standing outside of the culture war as a whole. And seeing that it's not just a left right, a conflict. That there are actually these three major cultural structures, which are in this overarching struggle to be born and to transcend and the perspective that I represent, sometimes we call it post-progressive, because that this emergence of progressivism over the last 60 years, while powerful and important and necessary, if we are going to make a better world the values of progressivism are necessary, but progressivism is not the end of history. Something comes after this worldview. And the way of understanding that that I that I like the bestest is seeing this pattern of evolution, right. The pattern first identified by the idealist philosophers 200 years ago, of thesis, antithesis and synthesis. You can see this pattern of unfolding at every level. And so sort of fractally distributed in all forms of evolution and here in culture, we can see how the thesis of the old establishment right. As in the 60s when progressivism as a worldview is emerging and becoming democratized. The people tried to distinguish themselves from the establishment. Which is the sort of the cultural block of the truce between traditionalism and modernity that characterized American culture after World War Two and prior to the 60s. So progressivism emerges. And now it's it's signaling, emerges as an antithesis. Right? How do you how do you evolve beyond the world of you know, the early 60s? Well, you, you, you push off against the pathologies of that world. You reject the values of status and materialism. You reject the oppression. You reckon with a sins of history. All of the things that progressivism has come to stand for. Were the opportunities for evolution that it embraced. And it embraced those by staking out this position of antithesis to the establishment, right. The thesis of you know, America as it had been throughout the 20th century. A new thing emerged, the antithesis. And, that's done good and it still has much good left to do. But, as it now begins to gain its own establishment power, as it becomes a kind of new establishment in the media and in the universities and in many institutions in American society, for good and bad. That the fullness of the antithesis, signals the opportunity on the horizon of history, for the next step, the next worldview, the next significant emergence. Which is a synthesis, it includes, it does what progressivism can't, and it is able to better include the best of what's come before.
