Hallucinations of progressives flourishing with the advent of the Screen in the technical sense of the word, of virtual reality and the hundreds of hallucinations that arose with it, first and foremost catastrophically intensifying the little braggart’s pretension to become something other than what he is, existing only insofar as his banal condition is determined by his earthly fate. The fantastically rapidly advancing Screen turns that imbecilic pretension into a paranoid everyday reality and a constant contempt for the simplest earthly condition of the mortal and for his earthly fate. [...] And now it is completely clear that fewer and fewer points of contact remain between the pre-Screen and post-Screen human being, and it is not difficult to foresee that very soon there will no longer even be a common measure between them: what could possibly connect the madmen of the Screen with a normal mortal.
