Dualism has been a slow psychological rot at the core of the Western mind — a metaphysical disease that split reality in half and left people trying to live inside one side of it. It teaches you to hate your body, distrust your instincts, fear your emotions, and worship an abstract “truth” that’s always elsewhere: in heaven, in reason, in the afterlife, in some ideal form you’ll never reach. The world becomes something to dominate, not live in. The self becomes something to purify, not understand. It’s not just philosophical — it’s a deep psychic wound that leaves people alienated from themselves and the world around them.
Everything in the West gets carved into opposites — mind vs. body, man vs. woman, nature vs. civilization, reason vs. feeling, God vs. world. And then one side gets elevated, the other condemned. This creates a fractured psyche constantly at war with itself, unable to hold paradox or complexity. That’s why Western culture swings between repression and explosion, obsession with control followed by collapse. Instead of integration, you get moral panic. Instead of wholeness, you get projection — everything unwanted gets cast onto others, onto enemies, onto “evil.” Dualism doesn’t liberate, it amputates. It builds a world of mirrors where half of you is always missing.
