"Society sees nothing because it is kept in a state of deep hypnosis. Never before have people been manipulated as much as they are now. A person is given no chance to pause and understand what is happening. Endless series, each dumber than the last, vulgar pop music, lustful or aggressive films that gently influence the subconscious, foster a spirit of selfishness and violence. An ordinary person quickly becomes a principle-less animal living an absolutely meaningless life." Sergei Petrowitsch Kapiza

It is wholly a material body-culture, and its symbol is the tiled bathroom and steam radiator rather than the Doric portico and the temple of philosophy. Its denizens do not live or know how to live." H. P. Lovecraft
