Archaic Knowledge: Forgotten Wisdom or Past Junk?

We live in an era where information is updated in seconds, and the old seems irrelevant. But is it really? Archaic knowledge — those ideas, beliefs, and wisdom passed down through generations — is often seen as obsolete today. However, some argue that in the midst of technological and scientific frenzy, we are losing touch with something fundamental: ancestral wisdom that understood the human being in its entirety, beyond the pragmatism of the present.

Should we reclaim ancient knowledge, or is it just an obstacle to progress? Are ancient philosophies and worldviews a form of resistance against technological dehumanization, or an anchor holding us back?

What do you think: Is archaic knowledge a forgotten source of wisdom or a fossil that no longer has a place in our future?

You're absolutely right—not all ancient knowledge is inherently valuable, but that doesn’t mean we should dismiss it entirely. The key is discernment: figuring out what still resonates and what can propel us forward rather than hold us back. Practices like meditation and "sustainable living", as you mentioned, are prime examples. They’ve resurfaced because they address modern issues—mental health crises, environmental degradation—that our so-called "progress" has either worsened or neglected.

The challenge is ensuring we don’t blindly romanticize the past. It’s about finding the balance between "innovation and tradition", leveraging what’s still relevant while not letting outdated beliefs drag us down. What other ancient practices do you think could make a comeback today?

Not all ancient knowledge is useful, some ideas can hinder progress. However, the important thing is to recover what still benefits us

I believe that ancient knowledge still holds value, practices like meditation or sustainable living come from that knowledge and are resurfacing today.
