Strong framework here. The parallel between moral panic cycles and civilizational decline is worth examining beyond just the religious lens. What I find interesting is how every generation thinks theyre experiencing unprecedented moral decay, yet societal norms have always been in flux. I remember reading about similar panic narratives in the 60s, 80s, and evem the 1920s. The question becomes whether we're seeing actual decline or just heightened visibility of whats always been there due to media amplification.
