I mean the traumatic failure of modern capitalist society to provide authentic outlets for the perennial human flair for high-temperature visionary obsessions, to satisfy the appetite for exalted self-transcending modes of concentration and seriousness.

It provides mainly demonic vocabularies in which to situate that need and from which to initiate action and construct rites of behavior.”
