I wrote this, I am not a very enlightened person on the subject, I would like to know what you know about this subject         "Modernity, the First World War, the Second, the Cold War, the historical events that marked the era. After the proto-capitalist industrial revolution there was a margin of coherent and understandable productive thought of progress, Nations of left and right accelerated their processes, philosophers raised new rigid sediments for new praxis, even crazy physicists developed the darkest advances of realities difficult to understand for human logic. But what happened where we are today no memory of the past They all became colorless portraits After modernity there was an oblivion A flash of no reason A disconnection and an entrance to the matrix Capitalism evolved like a virus and took over the planet It's not a criticism, it's a reality. Our ways of thinking were molded to the new status quo Bringing oblivion to war that now is so foreign When it was?

I find this interesting but hard to really evaluate. Pretty much any time I see a philosophical thesis that is chalk full of words/phrases like "capitalism", "modernity", "praxis", I think it is helpful to try to rewrite your thesis in as simple and straightforward language as possible and see if a) it still makes sense, and b) it isn't a trivial truth.

You'll see this issue even with famous philosophers (usually French philosophers that aren't read much in philosophy departments but worshipped in some other humanities). They'll say something like "Under late capitalism, the wisdom of modernity falls into the crux of folly, for only if we deconstruct capitalist production itself can existence be retained in the post-structural sense" and it's like oooh it sounds so deep but when forced to state the point simply it's just an obvious simple thing like "some forms of industry are bad for the environment".

Yeah makes some reading of their work feel tedious and you get lost and bored.
