It’s more an age of cultural exhaustion. There are no new ideas and no new energy so people who produce entertainment and art just keep repeating themselves.

Going back into the last century, there were a lot of film producers, writers, and musicians who were cultural Marxists if not outright Communists. Yet they produced great or at least entertaining films, stories, and songs. You remember movies like Dr. Strangelove, books like Silent Spring, and songs like John Lennon's Imagine. Their cultural offspring seems incapable of having the same ability to produce, write, or perform to that level.

We may be witnessing the crumbling of the secular humanist elite's ability to steer society. We may be in America and the West generally in a situation similar to the late Roman Empire or perhaps the last years of the Qing dynasty in China. The globalists are in a position similar to those of the Roman aristocracy or the Mandarin elite. We will see either a slow collapse or the ascendancy of Red China and its Russian, Iranian, North Korean, and other allies. Nature abhors vacuums, as does geopolitics.
