Why, in our "civilised" society, do we alienate idealism?

Question

In ancient times, like when the greek philosophers worked their magic, idealism was seen as a method through which humanity would be able to attain greatness.

Why is it that now, idealism is seen as foolish and impractical?

Answer 1

Because now a days, they misleading people to live like stupid animals, just concern of their own physical pleasure regardless to spiritual or community benefits, so people are losing their value as a human being.

They make people unable to understand their values and they can feel more pleasure by doing developing their community, they made it as a joke, telling us if you can get your pleasure it is everything but in real it is nothing.

By this way they can easily lead us to do what they want without disturbing them.

And the description by civilized is a fake.
