In-der-Blog-sein

For My Ego believes Life is a harsh reality. It's all about the human self, but Heidegger told us not to trust perceptions:
My point for mentioning the cynicism is that we humans are incredibly self-orientated. And why ought we not be? For all we know nothing is real but what we are; perception is untrustworthy, as shown by modern day versions of this philosophical weave of thought started by Heidegger. But it is exactly this self-orientation that leads us to what is known as 'the crumbling of society'.
Crumbling societies are sort of a fixture going back to Beowulf:
Grendel witnesses the crumbling of society, the rejection of God, and the subsequent descent into insanity
It's really the same recurring eternally.
