Everyone can feel the nothingness, the void, just beneath the surface of everyday routines and securities.

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.

The more the society becomes a technological society, the less it has to hold itself together.

The pleasure of authenticity exists only against the grain of society.

"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.

We can either passively continue on the road to utter domestication and destruction or turn in the direction of joyful upheaval, passionate and feral embrace of wildness and life that aims at dancing on the ruins of clocks, computers and that failure of imagination and will called work. Can we justify our lives by anything less than such a politics of rage and dreams?

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