Humanity's Progression, higher social order or relative social destruction? Options

[pandora]

Is the current state and progression of humanity leading towards a higher social order, or is it leading towards a relative social destruction?


I'm attempting to filter out the dumb asses by stating my question in a way they won't understand it.

Postmodernism is a term applied to a wide-ranging set of developments in critical theory, philosophy, architecture, art, literature, and culture, which are generally characterized as either emerging from, in reaction to, or superseding, modernism, which is equally esoteric.

Postmodernism plays a major role in social progression. The free mind can wander outside of the state's rigid way of thinking and the people, collectively, can express themselves and enjoy life through outlets like song, dance, literature, etc. As long as humankind can keep the "arts" alive, humankind can progress.

I bring this is up because it is important to understand how important the "arts" are in today's day and age. A cynical perspective is borderline realistic. Just stop and think about the crime, the loopholes in the justice system, political affairs, poverty, and the like; all of the negative aspects of life are enough to drive people mad. From that perspective, humanity is dying. Humankind will perish and all the ideas will follow suit.
