I hope it has become clear to you that any big society needs a meta-narrative: religion, class struggle, nation exceptionalism, etc.

Western liberalism has failed. It strips us of any meaningful meta-narrative and enthrones the state as our God. Without any greater-than-life purpose we quickly spiraled into decadence and hedonism, and our society is quickly disintegrating.

So, what is a possible meta-narrative that should be installed over whatever going to succeed our contemporary liberal societies?

Bonus question: When do you think we are going to witness the birth of humanity's next big "religion"? Are we going to be stuck with the meta-narratives invented by Middle Eastern philosophers/prophets forever?
