Amerika

As the year gets started, it helps to take the temperature of the audience. We are seeing a mass worldwide human freakout because the old order failed, and now instead of moralizing about things, people want things to function. This invalidates the prior system.

This means that people out there are having serious disassociation issues. If you notice people driving absent-mindedly but aggressively, shopping compulsively, and hiding in their apartments so the world does not bother them, you are seeing this psychology in action.

In any case, throw in a word. Join the mailing list for more analysis of the civilization problem and its possible solutions. Thank you for reading!
