A modern person for me is a person upside down. Of course, I regret his situation. But I see him as a monster. For the last 500 years, I have felt about the same feeling towards modern humanity that we feel when we see a crippled disabled person or a patient with Down syndrome. However, it is inappropriate to gloat about this. When we see something imperfect, perverted, distorted: a man with three arms, a blind man or a cripple with severed legs, it causes a feeling of horror, but also in a sense of compassion. But at the same time, it is an involuntary desire to step aside somewhere, if it is not possible to effectively promote recovery or alleviate suffering. I am torn between disgust for Modern humanity and the desire to help him, to put him on his feet. This is an ambivalent attitude. On the one hand, I can see how disgusting this monster is. On the other hand, even in spite of such disgust for thinking, for everyday life, for politics, for society, for culture, for science, for everything human in the Modern phase, I do not leave the desire to help him return to where he – human – came from and maybe even higher.
