Christopher Lasch Quotes
Our Growing Dependence On Technologies No One Seems To Understand Or Control Has Given Rise To Feelings Of Powerlessness And Victimization. We Find It More And More Difficult To Achieve A Sense Of Continuity, Permanence, Or Connection With The World Around Us. Relationships With Others Are Notably Fragile; Goods Are Made To Be Used Up And Discarded; Reality Is Experienced As An Unstable Environment Of Flickering Images. Everything Conspires To Encourage Escapist Solutions To The Psychological Problems Of Dependence, Separation, And Individuation, And To Discourage The Moral Realism That Makes It Possible For Human Beings To Come To Terms With Existential Constraints On Their Power And Freedom.
