Men suffer the worst evils for the sake of the most alien desires… they neglect the most necessary appetites as if they were the most alien to nature.
“We’re driven by bizarre consumer trends, weird surges in the entertainment culture, mass paranoias about new diseases that are really religious eruptions. How to get a crip on all this? We may need to play on deep-rooted masochistic needs built into the human sense of hierarchy.”
