> What our modern society needs are some new myths, legends, stories and rituals that we can all identify with in our more cosmopolitan world.

Isn’t that something that our leaders, whether in business or politics, should be concerned with?

The problem is that the myths that sell aren't the ones we should identify with.

Maybe what our modern society needs is to orient its moral compass around reality rather than myths.
