Secular apocalypses rebirth ancient fundamentalist myths.

"Black Mass" offers a riveting dissection of how our global political landscape has been historically shaped by the quest for utopian ideals and why the end of such dreams doesn't necessarily equate to peace. It's a compelling read if you're looking to understand the cyclical nature of history, how past ideologies shape current events, and the ways in which ancient myths are being reanimated in today's geopolitics. John Gray invites us to examine the darker sides of humanity's yearn for a perfect world and the consequential rise of modern fundamentalism.

Therefore, in order to deal with terrorism, it is argued that it is not an unrealizable goal of rooting out terrorism and portraying liberal democracy in its place, but that it should establish a realistic goal of preventing the collapse of the state and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
