Worldwide values study shows Americans and Europeans promote democracy, individualism .

The  Economist cites a recent values worldwide study done by the Inglehart group of Michigan showed that the Europeans and Americans are highly individualistic and secular; and importantly, "Traditional values seem to be more associated with autocracies; one-person-one-vote systems embody individualistic values." (p. 49 of August 12th issue, 2023)

I believe this culture is moving us into the "brave. new world!"

But I further believe we tend to lose sight of the vastness of the universe in which we are contained and exist.  We are coming to know its principles as we send spaceships 'out there.'

My opinion and impression.
