In the society of individuals, the dominant opinion is that there is nothing worse than death (especially since for most of our contemporaries there is nothing afterwards). This opinion is characteristic of all times of decay,
while at other times it is believed that servitude or dishonor are worse than death and that certain causes deserve to be given life for them. Today we are very concerned with the extension of life expectancy, that is, its simple duration; its content is much less worrying.
As the excellent Byung-Chul Han says: “The search for the good life has given way to the hysteria of survival”. Those who most want to survive are also those who have never lived. This is what happens with the “civilizational” aspect. #Benoist
