We've been talking about Madness... Insanity... Mental Illness, and... Batshit Crazy for some time now. My position remains unchanged from the time it first began to come clear in my mind; Crazy Town is the real pandemic. It is a given... in the latter stages of Material Culture... when the conditions of Advanced Materialism appear. The human personality is a mirror. The Mind projects the image. If everything you see is degrees of crazy... then that is what The Mind replicates, and what The Mind replicates is the coming destiny of The Replicator.
This same shared malady sank Atlantis, and no doubt it is an inescapable tradition... in every culture that creates states of dependency on convenience. Cultures develop to where people can have anything any time they want it, and the more they do... the more empty and hollow they become inside. Fulfillment cannot be gained by a dependence on external objects and conditions. We are not designed for that. We get all this... in fact... to show us... convincingly... that it is not what we want.
Civilization is Humanity's reaction to pain.
