Rationalized Lust

“The evidence, however, is all in, and the verdict is clear: modernity is rationalized lust . . . . Critical parlance notwithstanding, there is no postmodern age, just thinkers following the ever-constricting ruts of sexual liberation in increasingly compulsive, increasingly self-negating ways. If there is ever to be a postmodern era, it will have to rise out of the negation of what went before it and not in increasingly etiolated theories or increasingly violent forms of self destruction” [E. Michael Jones, Degenerate Moderns (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1993), pp. 17-18].
