@amytheartist We have to reclaim meaning for ourselves, & this is best done by making every action we engage significant. Coffee cannot be meaningless, & sex definitely is not. Society today sees only money, & the shows that money buys. But there is more to life than these.

@jaffer_ali1 The disease of industrial civilization is best summed as abstraction, which the soul will feel as alienation. We are the men from nowhere who do nothing without referring to insubstantial deities like efficiency, capital, labor, value. Aliens to nature, to our past, to ourselves.
