Hypermodernity

There’s an upper-ten-percent elite that lives in the world of the cosmopolitan centers and cyberspace and all that:

They get financially rich yet spiritually impoverished as their world gets increasingly alienated from the natural and divorced from the real:

It’s a world of hypermodern insanity.

As for the rest, the “flyovers,” they may occasionally rebel . . .

But I don’t think they’ll change much. I think that, in resignation, their lives will very gradually just fade back into the local and the simple as the hypermodern bubbles gradually burst.

Back to the local, the simple, the natural, the limited, the bounded, the real . . . which is where things belong, anyway.
