Modernism creates a new kind of 'disease' --- aesthetics hypnosis (e.g., Tron, 12 Monkeys, The Game, etc.).
Maybe the evolution of civilization translates to complete self-doubt, but is that the fault of machinery or malaise?
You know, the WWII generation unwound to capitalism-optimistic game-shows on TV as Industrialization and commerce slowly began to become truly global (e.g., World Bank), so does our Computer/Gen-X species unwind to globalization-optimistic self-control folklore (e.g., Facebook diarism)?
You have to wonder why eccentric-genius film-maker David Fincher, who otherwise makes movies about metaphysical oddities such as time-travel and vigilantism-paranoia in the modern city would suddenly make a film about modern Facebook society (The Social Network).

"Men had become so obsessed with Wall Street and computers that any mention of being too slow to keep pace with the modern past-paced world induced paranoid thoughts about financial extinction. This sort of 'rat-race' mentality gives way to all kinds of fleshy ambition schizophrenia, inducing spiritual epilepsy, brain fatigue, and even a kind of metaphysical corporeal deterioration (a 'philosophical Ebola' you can say). Humans would be churned out as greedy little pigs, seeking to compete in the trough for the sacred mud/grub.
American mustard was threatened by an emerged global 'cholesterol-culture' which may be why anti-civilization terrorists destroyed the consumerism-symbolic World Trade Center in the first year of the new millennium. To combat this sort of sociocultural 'schizophrenia' men need to reorient their 'Wall Street thinking' to literally ignore or avoid this 'philosophical Ebola.' As we therefore sit back and meditate to avoid the vanities of Wall Street and computer-era Ebola, we might consider how capitalism has created 'fleshy tentacles' of networking-hysteria.
Many think terrorism is the malady of modern civilization, while others think it's neglected and unsupervised 'rampant capitalism.' There's a Burger King in Afghanistan now, which inspires some and worries others. Algeria (member of OPEC) is way ahead of America in wind-energy development, which can be troubling in the growing competitive renewables market. America has to continue to serve as the world's proverbial 'Big Brother' but will 'TrumpUSA' give rise to new forms of imagination schizophrenia? Maybe evangelism is the best cure..."
