Oswald Spengler critiques the technical age, asserting that the machine culture has peaked and foreshadows impending catastrophe for Western civilization. He argues that this era, driven by a desire for power and possession, lacks genuine cultural progress and instead fosters mass regimentation. Spengler's philosophy highlights the consequences of an over-reliance on technology, suggesting that it leads to the decline of individual creativity and ultimately threatens the very fabric of society.
