We’ve spent too long in each other’s company. We’ve sent each other mad, that’s the problem. We’re incapable of moderation. But these are the times! Moderation is impossible in our times! Madness has broken out in our times! General madness, in our times! Spreading like a contagion!
You can’t hold it back. Madness has broken its banks. The levees broken. Floodwaters rising! It’s Biblical!
These are times without measure, without proportion. Anything goes.
We’re mad with the madness of our times. We’re delirious – with the delirium of our times.
This is what happens when you implement a new reality. When you rip up the old world. When they’re happy to sacrifice the old world. In the name of the new one!
Our madness is an adjustment to the general madness. Our hyperbole is necessary. We talk like maniacs. Of course! We say the wildest things – we need to say the wildest things. Because these are wild times.
We can’t be calm. Of course not. How could we be calm? They’ve removed all sense of proportion. Of measure. They’re ripping up the old world. They don’t give a fuck about the old world.
And there are people who are pretending it isn’t actually happening. That nothing’s going on. The vast majority! Most people are pretending that things are going on exactly as they were before!
