Episode 54 – The Dark Mirror: How Post-Modern Nihilism Is Destroying a Generation — And How We Reclaim Meaning

In this powerful and urgent episode of Newvision Oldways, I pull back the curtain on one of the most dangerous and misunderstood worldviews shaping our culture today: Post-Modern Nihilism.

We’re living in a time where cynicism is celebrated, truth is treated as flexible, violence is sometimes entertainment, and many—especially the younger generation—are being taught, directly or indirectly, that life has no inherent meaning or value. In this episode, I confront that dark mirror head-on.

I explore:

• What Nihilism really is—and where it came from
• How Post-Modern thinking transformed healthy questioning into dangerous meaninglessness
• Why self-hatred, despair, rage, and moral confusion are now being normalized
• How the loss of purpose erodes empathy and fuels violence
• Why identity collapses when meaning disappears
• And how rediscovering truth, responsibility, and purpose is the antidote to the chaos we’re seeing unfold

This is not a political episode—it’s a human episode. It’s about the erosion of values, the collapse of moral anchors, and the terrifying consequences of teaching people that nothing truly matters. I address how manipulation thrives when identity is hollowed out, why tribalism replaces humanity, and how meaninglessness creates the perfect conditions for despair, cruelty, and collapse.

But this episode is not just a warning—it’s also a call to action.

This episode is about reclaiming the soul of a generation—not through anger, but through purpose. Not through destruction, but through meaning. Not through indoctrination, but through truth.

If you’ve ever wondered why so many people seem lost… why outrage feels constant… why empathy feels rare… and why meaning feels under attack—this conversation is for you.

Life is not meaningless.
You are not replaceable.
And purpose is not something you stumble upon—it’s something you build through your choices, your values, your discipline, and your courage.
