Hopeful, Rick Walker The decline of beauty signals a collapsing culture. Jonathan Pageau (@JonathanPageau ) explains why we lost our way and how to restore it. In this conversation, we look at why the West has forgotten that beauty is as good as power. We examine the roots of this shift, tracking how the modern age replaced aesthetic harmony with shock and fashion. By analyzing the crisis through the lens of sacred art, we uncover the fundamental flaw in our current cultural trajectory. Understanding these patterns is essential for anyone trying to navigate the current state of society. When we recognize that our surroundings reflect our internal values, we can begin to shift our perspective back toward what is true and lasting.
