"This despair has been played out on the bodies of the disenfranchised through opioid and alcoholism addictions, gambling, mass shootings, suicide ... morbid obesity and the investment of our emotional and intellectual life in tawdry spectacles and the allure of magical thinking ... These are the pathologies of a deeply diseased culture, what Friedrich #Nietzsche calls an aggressive despiritualized #nihilism."
