Modern man has transformed himself into a commodity; he experiences his life energy as an investment with which he should make the highest profit, considering his position and the situation on the personality market. He is alienated from himself, from his fellow men and from nature.

Life has no goal except the one to move, no principle except the one of fair exchange, no satisfaction except the one to consume.p97.
