“In his essays on world events (CW 10), Jung was at pains to point out that society is vulnerable to psychic epidemics, since we no longer have any forms to humanize or contain our nonrational impulses. In these essays he argued not only that we can expect an increase in neurotic or mentally disturbed individuals, but that the social fabric itself is disturbed, and increasingly prone to acts of madness, violence and irrationality.”

The empty community of greed propped up by the cult of corporate personhood selects ever more severely for dark traits, until “empathy” is forever vanquished, silently and thoroughly replaced by a completely pervasive, all-encompassing, viciously relentless malignant narcissism that knows no beauty, harmony, or sustenance, only cold, violent, murderous destruction as its sole sad “strength” - treating humans, animals, plants, and all abundantly bountiful creatures, creations, and spontaneously arising magical beings inhabiting our vast fertile earth as two-dimensional objects to be ruthlessly cannibalized, wholly suffocated and subsumed into a grandiose false reality fabricated, eternally reinforced and constantly reified by utterly traumatized toddlers in order to escape the truth - too painful to face - that they will never know love, only bitter competition to the death for corporeal survival and oneupsmanship, DARVOing til the end, mercilessly killing their own family and flesh (their very own selves) preemptively for sport and “supply” with no reproach, due process, or comeuppance, leaving none for all and all for none.
Something’s gotta give
