ESCAPE ROUTES
Modernity is painful and modern life is demanding. The categories cut, the personal restlessness never ends, the accounting and accountability are oppressive, the drive for profits is corrosive, extracting property from nature is destroying the planet, despotism seems just as resilient as democracy, secularists battle with spiritual believers, technologies as well as give plrace, racial hatred abounds, women are subject to violence, robots replace workers, people use mobile technology to blow themselves up in crowds of strangers, and time moves on anyhow. So, modern people want to get out, opt out — escape.
