Modern myths

With blockchain, we may know a priori that information written into the block chain was an historically accurate chain of signifiers, but that's about it.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?

Marvel === Greek mythology

Nobody believes anything with enough sincerity anymore to allow for the spread of contemporary myth.

Well yes, but, I'm talking about the small myths I remember we made up as kids.Myths of bigfoot,ghosts and aliens

Amerikkka was founded on many myths, most of which had deadly consequences for the world.

There are myths right now on a period of time that happened only 75 years ago, I don't think myths are going anywhere user rest assured.

Well people do believe the Jews are behind everything, so...

Nobody takes those people seriously.

Capeshit is everywhere.

Yes. Just to use Yea Forums as an example some girls killed their friend because of slenderman. Skinwalkers are also a /k/x/ invention, the tenuous native american connection came after retards googled the word and came screetching in going WELL AKSHYUALLY and lead to talks about calling them "fleshgaits" or whatever that never stuck and now some 7 years later people talk about muh natives even though some of the first stories took place in australia and they didn't share any characteristics with le epic furry tribal drug witch at all.

Interesting way to only half bait the hook.

Then why have there been so many expulsions?

This. Greek mythology is literally just ancient capeshit

money

Some of the heroic myths might have a superficial resemblance to modern superheroes but otherwise not at all.

The myth of progress is alive and well.

Yes. Ted Kaczynski is a legend.

Myths involving men and gods that are spun to instill virtue in the youth? No, those days are long over. Every single story nowadays is created for the purpose to be a lucrative merchandising opportunity. Virtue can't be bought.

There’ll be plenty of myth making in the next war

There are plenty of myths in modern times. Myth of the dark ages comes to mind.

yes
some modern myths: freedom, democracy, happiness, work, science

this. progress is a myth.

it's alive but it's certainly not well

This is not scientific. It is a purely interpretative statement.
Saying we 'pass out genes' is indeed a common interpretation today, but it is not scientific or unscientific.

An ancient Greek prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes. Apollo, the god of Science, having formed a palace conspiracy with his half-brother Hermes, god of Politics, and his uncle Plutos, god of Adoney, has emasculated Almighty Zeus with the same curved sickle, laid up at Sicilian Drepana, that Zeus used on his father Cronus. Zeus still remains propped on his throne, but a Regency Council of Three has taken over his powers. In this new anarchical era anything may happen. That the Divine Triumvirate are suspicious of one another, and that their rival ambitions have made them careless of mankind, was proved by the absurd cold war that was (is?) being waged between East and West, with the massive resources of Science, Money, and Politics. They have cut civilization loose from its moorings: familiar coasts of orthodox religion, philosophy, and economics fade in the dusky distance. Crazy new cults are preached, old ones revived; ghosts supposedly laid centuries ago creep out of their graves, not only at dusk but by broad daylight.

Of course. People still unironically believe in the "hard work" meme and the "equality before the law" meme. They're not as cool as the Greek and Roman stuff but just as ridiculous.

It was much more than that. First and foremost it was the recognition of the influence and dominance of the physical world (sun, earth, winds, rains etc.) on our lives.

2000 years from now we will look back on how George Washington fought mecha hitler with a zweihander. History is a joke.
