If we are going to be personally free

and productive human beings

we need to recover some kind of interest in the possibility

of attaining a relatively human and civilized condition,

in which we ourselves can find ourselves

and help others do the same.

And that we might even be able to communicate something

of what it means to attain these goals.

We need to break through the state of massive inertia and  delusion

created by the repetition of statements and slogans without meaning

and without any effect in concrete action.

In a word, the arbitrary, fictitious, and absurd

mentality of our society—reflected in its advertising

and entertainment particularly—-

must be recognized as an affront to man’s

personal dignity.

In how many ways our old Western outlook is bankrupt.

We have lost our way in a desert

of meaningless and uninterpretable facts,

and finally, not only of fact but of completely fictitious events,

news that never happened or.

if it happened, was never news.
