A General Rule: If Enough People Predict

Unhappy Parents Teach You A Lesson That Lasts A Lifetime.

Psychiatrists The Dominant Lay Priesthood Since The First World War.

The American Dream Has Run Out Of Gas. The Car Has Stopped. It No Longer Supplies The World With Its Images, Its Dreams, Its Fantasies. No More. It's Over. It Supplies The World With Its Nightmares Now: The Kennedy Assassination, Watergate, Vietnam.

Deserts Possess A Particular Magic, Since They Have Exhausted Their Own Futures, And Are Thus Free Of Time. Anything Erected There, A City, A Pyramid, A Motel, Stands Outside Time. It's No Coincidence That Religious Leaders Emerge From The Desert. Modern Shopping Malls Have Much The Same Function. A Future Rimbaud, Van Gogh Or Adolf Hitler Will Emerge From Their Timeless Wastes.

The Advanced Societies Of The Future Will Not Be Governed By Reason. They Will Be Driven By Irrationality, By Competing Systems Of Psychopathology.
