Toga Quote by Chris Hedges
““Pozitivistička psihologija, poput celebrity kulture, nezadrživ nagon da se kupuje i privlačnosti masovne zabave kao sredstva odvraćanja pozornosti, pothranjuje se osjećajem nesretnosti što ga izaziva izolacija i gubitak osjećaja zajedništva. Korporativistička postavka kako se sreća može pronaći kroz prilagodbu i podčinjavanje korporativnoj kulturi okrutan je trik zato što upravo korporativna kultura podržava i hrani u ljudi tu veliku boleštinu i odvojenost od stvarnog kao obilježje kulture opsjene.””
