Every age and every culture produce their own particular set of
'False Gods' and their associated narratives. Each of these 'False
Gods' is supported by a whole range of sub-mythologies and
ideological delusions that seek to justify, rationalise and
normalise the worship of the particular 'False God'. Setting out to
identify Seven of the 'False Gods' of modernity, Civilization 21
opens a Pandora's Box of alternative narratives that challenge the
evolving norms of twenty-first century mythologies and delusions.
From science to individualism, and progressiveness to human
exceptionalism, these modernised mythologies and their associated
delusions are fundamental to the structures of our perceived
realities. All historical civilizations seem to follow a similar
pattern; structured to have a beginning, middle and end. While this
may not be an iron law of history, there is no guarantee that our
First Global Techno-Scientific Civilization will not follow a
similar pattern. In this analysis the end could be near, or we
could be on the precipice of unprecedented cultural and ethical
progress. Only time will tell.
