Eloquently written article on a grotesque product of capitalism. My wife, fortunately sheltered from the worst excesses of capitalism, finished the Tao Te Ching and Dhammapada alongside me. You don’t necessarily need religion but just a worthy substitute, maybe just read philosophy, and you can follow the path of Nurmagomedov. At a certain point, the tinsel of Western civilization loses its luster when you have a deep, ethical core, like so many Muslims, especially Palestinians.

Westerners should definitely pay attention to the soulless, depraved downward spiral of the media whore MacGregor; I admit I don’t have any interest in UFC, but your article is still powerful. An interesting case study; Tom Brady is another example of someone who can do one thing, but ultimately is an empty person. Thanks for the article.
