A Quote from The Talos Principle 2
Athena
Is it possible that on some level, people want to believe that everything's going to get worse? That it's comforting to think that humanity is bad and every solution will just go wrong? Because that way, you're never responsible. You never have to take on responsibility for anything outside yourself and never have to grow up.

There's no human building that can survive without maintenance. Roots are stronger than concrete.
We live in a decaying system, which in turn produces ideologies of decay to justify its existence.
No matter what cultural signifiers they get packaged with, these ideologies come down to the same material result: a future in which for the average person there is less of everything. To paraphrase Mark Fisher, we find it easier to imagine the decline of civilization than to imagine a civilization worth living in.
Identity has no meaning without society, and society has no meaning without the individual.
When you are asked, "Where is God? Who is God?" stand up and say, "I am God and here is God, not as yet completed, but still advancing towards completion, just in so much as I am working for the purpose of the universe, working for the good of the whole of society and the whole world, instead of merely looking after my personal ends."
The truth cannot be pursued or uncovered, it can only be found where it has already taken root.
