I do what I do and hope that it might connect with people who are thinking along the same lines.

If you have a problem in mass society, you call the cops. The experts. You no longer have any operative connection with yourself or others, or with a functioning community.

Mass society has displaced real community, where people function together and account for their own lives.

The largely hidden key to the symbolic world is time; indeed it is at the origin of human symbolic activity. Time thus occasions the first alienation, the route away from aboriginal richness and wholeness.

"The people" aren't running anything. That's why technology has replaced politics as the source of ideology. The ideological claims are hollow and absurd, and nobody believes them anymore.

There's a hollowness to civilized life. It doesn't appeal to people, and some people react with extreme violence.

We live in an era with no real sense of community or connection to nature.
