All this should be completely obvious to anyone who has ever pursued even briefly some sort of spiritual life or understanding. That would almost by definition exclude most Americans, enculturated as we are by grasping hyper-competitive capitalist indoctrination and "values." All a person needs to do to show him/her how spiritually vacuous the core values of American culture really are is pay a little attention to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, what they represent and how they behave. If that doesn't do it, you really aren't paying attention.
