Not the best opium for the people really. In these increasingly cold, increasingly materialistic times the traditional Western values won't do - we have only production value which we prove by consumption, no metaphysical-ethical ding an sich dimly constructed can be meaningful in this freezing, empty atmosphere. Co-incidentally - well, of course not - the West is stumbling, divided internally, full of enraged national radicalism intent of tearing down liberal democratic structures and values. Lost.
