It doesn't seem to be. Mythological subjects were much more complex and influential than the founders and popularizers of science could have imagined. Because this is not knowledge about how the world around us works, except that occasionally metaphors are drawn from there for clarity. Myths are stories that live in our inner world, scenarios of an unconscious scene that determine how we look at the world and what will happen to us during life.
In fact, Freud discovered exactly this – how myths laid down in childhood by parents affect the rest of a person's life. The unconscious is not interested in how the world works – it is interested in what can be done about it, who is good and who is bad, where to go, who to fight with, what to achieve, how to behave, what will be the reward for testing, and so on. These meanings can only be learned through myth.
Myth is the historical beginning of scientific knowledge and humanity's knowledge of the surrounding world. The mythical concept of the world has its own laws and has had and still has a huge impact on people. Without a mythical view of the world around us, human fantasy would not have been formed, since there are no boundaries for myth, which are inherent in the exact sciences. Consequently, there would be no art, literature, painting, etc. In addition, the myth is an indissoluble connection of all living people with all those who have already left this mortal world, which unites all dead, living and future people into a single humanity. And as it is written, ” With God all are alive.” Sincerely, Vasily Tsygankov.
There are actually two questions – can an individual live without myths? Can humanity survive without mythology as a social phenomenon? And the third question-what is a myth?
The most common social phenomenon of a mythological order is religion. An individual can be completely irreligious. But religion as a social phenomenon at this stage of human development is inevitable. It performs certain functions, not mythological ones at all – the functions of consolation, pacification, reconciliation with reality, psychotherapy, spiritual comfort, etc.
There is mythology – as a means of pseudo-knowledge and pseudo-understanding of the world, satisfying curiosity. And here there is no clear line between myth and science. Between understanding and pseudo-understanding. You can use scientific terms and concepts, but without understanding them at all, half understanding them. A myth can have a scientific appearance, and often pass off as science. (for example, “new timeline”). Mythology as a surrogate for science is also, apparently, inevitable. Since modern science is so far removed from the kitchen and everyday wisdom that it requires serious effort and effort to assimilate and understand.
Finally, mythology is simply a means of entertainment. Now the fantasy genre is very popular. People certainly understand that, for example, “game of Thrones” is a myth. But quite a few people are willing to discuss events in this virtual world, conditionally accepting it as reality.
All three types of mythology (often mixed) are unavoidable as a social phenomenon today. They are dictated both by human nature and by the state of society. And in the foreseeable future, nothing will change here. And some people may be relatively free of this or that mythology, but some may live in it almost as in reality.
And as for the distant future-the question should be understood in the sense of whether it is possible to eradicate, for example, religion, pseudoscience, interest in fantasy. It's hard to say anything here. Theoretically, of course, it is possible. But it will turn people into robots. And who needs it and why?
Can humanity live without knowledge? The very concept of “myth” has become superstitiously mocking in materialistic society. Such an attitude to myths cannot be called anything other than ignorant.
Myths are not fairy tales, but events and facts often hidden behind an allegorical form. This is knowledge that in ancient times was presented not by formulas and equations, but by images, allegories and symbols. This was done in order not to ” scatter the bisser in front of the pigs.”
What does the average person know about the Hammer of Thor – the oldest esoteric symbol of humanity, meaning eternal life? But he is very familiar with the swastika-the same hammer of Thor, rotated 45 degrees and used by Nazi Germany as its symbol.
That's all we know. It is the same with myths – “we only know that these are all fables and fantasies.”
The further away from the golden age, the more no. After the erasure, it lives in Knowledge for a while, then, starting to degrade, it invents myths with which it justifies its degradation, and so on until the next erasure.
Myths are a powerful motivator.
The development of the World is driven by the eternal Myth of “nambevanstvo” that if you become the best, you will become the happiest.
Thanks to this myth, the wheel, gunpowder, electricity and the smartphone with the Internet were invented.
Without the myths, development would have continued at the rate of the baobab tree's growth.

Myths are akin to a dream, a fairy tale (legend). A person who meets a lot of amazing things in his life wants to preserve the memory of it, often deliberately embellishing the characters and events. Embellish not only positive characters who give an example to follow, but also negative ones, as more evil, insidious, strong. Man always wanted to be faster, bolder, stronger, and possess the supernatural powers that he gave to his enemies. Such legends and myths glorified all the great things that man had done, endured, and won. It was a flag, an unattainable role model passed down from generation to generation to children and grandchildren. In this regard, myths were part of the culture, carefully preserved as a military banner, as the concept of homeland, along with other great values of peoples.
In order to answer this question, you need to decide what a myth is and whether there are any myths at all. What was long ago considered a myth and people have a lot of such myths. But whether these myths are myths is still a question. At the same time, any storyteller telling his story no yes and add , to decorate the story, their details. That's how myths are born. Do people need them, or do specific people need these myths? First we add details, then we slowly begin to believe in these details, and over time we no longer remember it is a myth or the truth. Probably true. Of course, humanity cannot live without myths, these myths are the history of mankind.
You can't. Previously, myths were like a scientific manual about the structure of the world, instructions about the gods, about everyday rules… now myth-making continues. These are the most interesting legends about the wonders of deep space (like exoplanets), and everyday life – I like the myths about Freddy Krueger, transformers and barabashki, although this is already outdated. Myths are being created now and around us. Although most of them are based on historical realities, they awaken the imagination and show that a person has a lot to apply reason to. There are also political myths – a conspiracy theory, or a coronavirus, or external enemies who can't eat right, as they dream of seeing us in white slippers. But, as in any field of culture, it is necessary to distinguish kitsch from art… And myths are good. One of the hallmarks of the mind.
Living without myths, as well as living only with the help of sanity, is impossible for the reasons that a person is more dependent on a mental state than on a physical one. Myths, as well as fairy tales in childhood, help in adult life to maintain Faith in the bright, good and eternal
A myth, a fairy tale, a momentary fiction that became true to save thought. Nervous that is, brain activity turned out to be very energy-intensive. The brain, having 2% of the body weight, uses 20% of the body's energy. Saving this energy is also provided by myths that explain the alleged and simplify the picture at first. When it's not very important, they make do with a fairy tale, but then the truth turns out. And a person brought up on a fairy tale cannot say goodbye to it, cultivates it and passes it on to children. You get two pictures of the world: a mythical fairy-tale and a true scientific one. The religious picture of the world is also attached to myths because it is tied to the very first ancient explanations of the world, one might say to the primitive pre-fairy tales and even more false ones. From here, it is precisely the kind of humanity that will abandon myths and rely entirely on science that can live. Myths are tenacious because they are told to children in the form of fairy tales. They are given out as folk art, the tradition of ancestors, etc. Tall tales and truth are intertwined in people's heads and nonsense is created like sculptures by Tsereteli and other sculptors suffering from gigantomania. Children are immersed in scientific questions and they will spend their entire lives solving them and getting answers, just like Perelman and many people who are called geniuses in the memory of mankind. They will object to me, they will not understand, they say that the children will understand, be sure. How to teach and what to teach? This question has brought Russian science to a dead end. So learn not myths and fairy tales, but scientific questions. An entertaining form of learning is better absorbed. Therefore, be sure to entertain children when learning. Game form in the form of riddles, competitions, movement, movement, so that you don't have to sit in class too much. They did not get used to adynamia in the future and did not end their health at tables, TV, computer and all sorts of gatherings.
A myth is something that could not be.Everyone,to the extent of education, has one or another attitude to the myth.The myth of past years is our attitude to the event that we believe did not happen.A myth can be conscious, artificially created for some reason-this is a myth,and if this is our attitude to the event on the principle of whether it was or not, then it is not a myth…A person who has drawn or written something in a drawing has reflected reality,and we are trying to find the truth from the very beginning of the past years …Life goes in a spiral,all events repeat themselves…Until 30 years ago, no one thought that the development of computers would take such a step forward,we didn't even know much….
Not anymore, because it has produced a great many of them. A myth is an attempt by a person and humanity to explain what is happening around them. Mythology is essentially a description of our world in the understanding of the people of the past. If there were no myths, there would be no European culture, science would develop slowly, and literature would be bland and boring. So glory to Poseidon, Heracles, Zeus, Artemis, Hera and… To Neleus (a friend of Mary Poppins), and to the Moirs (Parks), who weave our destiny.
