What are the potential societal implications of this shift away from rationalism, and what role does the internet play in this transformation?

Maffesoli suggests a cyclical pattern in societal shifts, with a saturation point reached after centuries of dominance by a particular ideology. He posits a move from a rationalist, Apollonian era to a Dionysian one emphasizing emotions and senses. The internet plays a key role in facilitating this search for the uncertain and imponderable, fostering the spread of diverse spiritual practices.
