Everything beautiful is corrupted in this illusion.
It doesn't mean the values were flawed.
You see religion and societies constructs as a good thing.
I see them as a control measures that actually induce separation.
I also see that evolution in any area doesn't usually occur in incriminate steps. The pendulum usually has to swing past the next accepted point so the pendulum could then swing back and find balance.
The hippie thing specifically. The constructs of sharing, brother/sister hood, love and equality are beautiful goals. The failure likely came from the fact most beings are not ready to BE that. They can recognize it as utopian but in trying to live the ideals that are not yet part of their being they inevitably fail. Doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying. Evolution takes time.
I wasn't there, I wasn't born till 76 so have no first hand experience obviously but society changed quickly, women started getting treated not as equals but less as sub humans, racial discrimination started to be challenged, people started to think for themselves in some form and like a snowball rolling down hill we have really come a long way. I may be missing your point... I'm pretty sure I am but I don't consider the goals of the utopian hippie movement at all as lukewarm. I'd say they started as a raging greenray that the masses simply couldn't sustain and some people corrupted as a source for personal gain.
Wow sounds just like Christianity. Not many can even come close to walking the walk. It doesn't diminish the fact Christians know Jesus was an amazing being of love to be emulated.
Now I don't know my point lol
Bed time perhaps. Be well.
