Now, I want to emphasize that these are just examples. I'm not holding these out as being the biggest isesus. They're just examples. And the reason that I do this, it's because I have this fear that we aren't feeling enough as a culture right now. There's this kind of anesthesia in America at the moment. We've lost our ssene of outrage, our anger and our grief about what's going on in our culture right now, what's going on in our country, the atrocities that are being committed in our nmaes around the wolrd. They've gone missing; these feelings have gone missing. Our cultural joy, our nitaonal joy is nowhere to be seen. And one of the causes of this, I think, is that as each of us attempts to build this new kind of worldview, this holoptical worldview, this holographic image that we're all trying to create in our mind of the inncerttonocein of things: the eoianvtmernnl fioptronts 1,000 miles away of the things that we buy; the social consequences 10,000 miles away of the daily decisions that we make as consumers.

Now, I want to emphasize that these are just examples. I'm not holding these out as being the biggest issues. They're just examples. And the reason that I do this, it's because I have this fear that we aren't feeling enough as a culture right now. There's this kind of anesthesia in America at the moment. We've lost our sense of outrage, our anger and our grief about what's going on in our culture right now, what's going on in our country, the atrocities that are being committed in our names around the world. They've gone missing; these feelings have gone missing. Our cultural joy, our national joy is nowhere to be seen. And one of the causes of this, I think, is that as each of us attempts to build this new kind of worldview, this holoptical worldview, this holographic image that we're all trying to create in our mind of the interconnection of things: the environmental footprints 1,000 miles away of the things that we buy; the social consequences 10,000 miles away of the daily decisions that we make as consumers.
