• Is there any good reason why we cannot extend our multi-cultural generosity to include another dimension? That of time. The past, too, is another country.

• In the form of the oeuvre, the actual circumstances are placed in another dimension where the given reality shows itself as that which it is.

• Institutionalized desublimation thus appears to be an aspect of the "conquest of transcendence" achieved by the one-dimensional society. Just as this society tends to reduce, and even absorb opposition (the qualitative difference!) in the realm of politics and higher culture, so it does in the instinctual sphere. The result is the atrophy of the mental organs for grasping the contradictions and the alternatives and, in the one remaining dimension of technological rationality, the Happy Consciousness comes to prevail.
