re: Why has western culture declined both here and abroad?

If not an actual decline, then can anyone come up with what actual positives the following have made to it over the last 100-plus years:

The experiments by Wilhelm Wundt in his psych labs in Leipzig.

The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in Britain (originally Wellington House)

The Institute of Social Research in Frankfurt.

Willi Munzenberg, Antonio Gramsci, Max Horkheimer, Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Georgy Lukacs, Herbert Marcuse, Aldous Huxley, and his friend Timothy Leary, Susan Sontag, John Dewey, Freud, Kinsey, Maslow, Skinner, Cloward-Piven, and others too numerous to mention - or not worth mentioning.

With all of their "ideals" having come together and weaponized at the 10 Macy Conferences presided over and assisted by Norbert Wiener and his great new idea "cybernetics."

And the legions their efforts over three generations have been able to produce and condition in their own image, after they were allowed to flood and eventually take over our institutions.

Can't leave Madison Avenue off the list as a major purveyor of their slick, manipulative propaganda.

How else did we arrive in this present condition at this point in time.

Was the "summer of love" in Portland an acceptable example of what their intentions have always been to produce in enough numbers in this country and the West.

But then, any culture that could successfully weather such a manifold, long-term, all-out psychological assault like that and hold on to its traditions and ideals would be undeniably the greatest one ever.
