I write about this often but it seems it needs to be repeated.
Western civilization needs a moral justification for its hegemony. Initially, it used Christianity. In other words, it was acceptable to kill millions, because they were saving them from hell.

The problem was, once they conquered some lands in this way (many of which had religions that were actually inferior to Christianity), they gained a lot of wealth. With this wealth they had time to study more, and they realized Christianity was filled with contradictions.

So slowly but surely, the people stopped believing in Christianity. But they still needed a moral justification to continue dominating the people and taking their wealth. Since they were able to refine some scientific techniques with the spoils of war, they reinvented...

But this spells the doom of their empire, because these "rights," just like the science that preceded them, are very clearly a reflection of resource surpluses.

Since their rate of resource consumption is so high, these narratives will disintegrate as resources become increasingly scarce. This is the root of their obsession with space travel. Since they have now looted most of the earth, their hope is that they can maintain their...

...illusion of superiority by finding more resources in space. But travelling in space is substantially more resource intensive than travel on the earth, so this will only accelerate their demise, because they will increasingly abandon these values in pursuit of resources.

For indeed, goodness is tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Judgment.
