The Mythology of Globalism and Human Self-Organization Alexandr Tolmachev

Mythology is a special form of collective consciousness, a holistic picture of the world, in which elements of scientific, practical, religious, artistic, intuitive knowledge are not separated. Modern mythological concepts become a new historical reality for people living in the reality of the global consumer society. Man seeks support in mythology, which becomes a means of man's social orientation and sets models for important actions in his life. The task of various mythologies is to bring order to society, to an order of a higher level than that experienced by man at the moment. In the language of modern physics, in all known periods of life of human society the entropy of human society is growing, i.e. the fall of life order and increase of chaos. Mythology provides man with tools to order his life, to reduce entropy and increase the structural order of human society. Myth protects the modern man, even if this myth is not about peace, but about enmity. After all, myth gives a person patterns of behavior in different situations.
