I remember trying many times to calculate the exact peak of western culture.I knew it was in 2009, but I have finally found the exact point.
November 10, 2009, 45 minutes after the release of Call of duty Modern Warfare 2.
This particular point in time had reached a point of based game development, that was never done before, and will not be repeated ever again.
Even re-release of the same game had skipped this moment. And while I might not like the series in total, this was the one moment, where every kid around the world experienced art to it's fullest extent.
It was all down from that mission. I think it is a solid point for peak western civilization.

Peak of western civilization was in 1969, it has been spiraling downwards ever since.
1969 was peak due to the results of education/technology development sector book of post ww2 and the space program.
It's what happened after that that turned the world into shit.

Bullshit economics combined to cold warn subversion didn't help either, we're still getting tho aftereffects today plus the fact that some of these methods are taught in marketing.
Plus corruption/lobbying. Then the mobile computer multiplicator of 2005~2006 when apple release them.

Not the culture I was talking about, but sure. Economic practices can be incorporated into your frame.
And that being said, anything beyond golden standart is bullshit :D
