 Modernity, since it came about, first in Europe, then by now in the whole world, has something standing features, what its characteristic on modernity. First and foremost, it is distribution through the market, redistribution if there is through the state, and that's a combination of capitalism and socialism, if I may say so. It's a dissatisfied society, because the first slogan of modernity was every person, every man, woman, are born free. Never before have they uttered this sentence. It was an absurd sentence, one was born a master, the other was born a slave. The moment we said all men are mostly, we created a dissatisfied societies, because we are not free enough, because some are more free than us. We are not equally free. Everyone is dissatisfied, nothing wrong with dissatisfaction. This is what I want to say, because dissatisfaction keeps our society alive and kicking. Hello has just given a wonderful demonstration of what it is to be alive and kicking. I felt the table vibrating under the effect of it, but I actually wanted to say something else in response to what Rory said, which I think is very important. He referred to the transfer of populations from small villages to great megalopolis, and how this causes enormous disruption and produces in itself a search for status of a new kind. I think I would just like to reflect on the fact that the great cities that have grown in the modern world have also brought along with themselves an art and a literature of loneliness. A loneliness of a new kind, which you find already in Balzac, but also in Flaubert, and of course paradigmatically in people like Kafka and so on, the Central European tradition. It's as though our need for each other, which is the thing that is most beautiful in human beings, is suddenly cut off from its fulfillment at the very moment when it can be so easily fulfilled by us in so many ways, and I think this is a most interesting thing to reflect upon. This is the major transition that we have, that the modernity has imposed upon us. This mass society where we're surrounded at every point by opportunities, by people, by opportunities of friendship and also opposition and so on, and at the same time there has grown within that this unassuageable core of loneliness.
