I think Western culture/philosophy/religion produces a kind of deep but narrow result—and so Western cultures have technical superiority (atom bombs and iPhones), but are spiritually and intellectually empty. Monotheism produces a kind of focus but narrowness and minimalism; perhaps Western culture is so cluttered with insane junk, horrible pop culture, pop politics, pop psychology, and so on, because at its monotheistic core, it’s so minimalistic—and also text based. It’s all about Scripture, and one God. There’s very little to it—and so all these other forms of content rush in to fill the void—science being the biggest one, but the other things I described earlier fit too.
The Modern World (TM) (no pun intended) has no time for things like meditation, or even a siesta.
No rest, no time to think, or not to think.
Just produce "value", and consume.
I think Christianity evolved hand in hand with capitalism, at least to the extent that they don't threaten each other, in fact complement each other.
