In contemporary society, there's a growing trend where individuals prioritize stability and a sense of belonging over material wealth and consumption. While traditional economic views assert that well-being is linked to consumption, many people are now choosing to exchange some of their freedoms and comforts for a deep-seated sense of order and faith.

This shift suggests a fundamental change in values, with more individuals finding fulfillment not in physical possessions but in spiritual beliefs and community ties. Eugene Linden's work, “The Future in Plain Sight,” highlights this transformation, pointing towards potential instability as true believers emerge, signaling a departure from materialism in pursuit of deeper existential meanings.
