  1. Truth turns against life, so life turns against truth.
  2. The technocratic machine reports on itself: we call this the news.
  3. Functionally, the vast majority of us are language-using sheep: herding ourselves into the conceptual and physical pens that await us (that we have built for ourselves).
  4. There is little doubt that humanity has already committed spiritual suicide.
  5. Our culture is neither romantic nor classical: it is managerial.
  6. If civilization is about the enjoyment of leisure, our culture is completely uncivilized.
  7. Poets today have no direct experience of primal nature: we only know cyborg nature — half-industrial, half real.
