Is Western Canon deserving to be read at all, considering that it led to state of things we have today? Should I switch to the eastern canon since it yielded superior asian cultures that will inherit the planet?

Western Canon didn’t lead to what we have, Capitalism and Idealism did (philosophy). Bloom’s Western Canon and to an extent Mortimer Adler’s great books exclude this (Adler going as far to include Lenin and Marx in it as huge critics of Capitalism)

Is that.. is that a wooman?
*jaw drops to floor, eyes pop out of sockets accompanied by trumpets, heart beats out of chest, awooga awooga sound effect, pulls chain on train whistle that has appeared next to head as steam blows out, slams fists on table, rattling any plates, bowls or silverware, whistles loudly, fireworks shoot from top of head, pants loudly as tongue hangs out of mouth, wipes comically large bead of sweat from forehead, clears throat, straightens tie, combs hair*

Did the Eastern canon also lead to what we have today? Because the Eastern canon didn’t prevent it either. How do you know the Western canon deserves the blame?
