And the world spins madly on...

American culture is nothing more than a pastiche of fixations. We are obsessed with health. We are obsessed with pleasure. We are obsessed with speed. We are obsessed with efficiency.

We have all entered a race to devour the largest volume of gratification before it kills us.
