A Communicable Emptiness
By David Oates
"That’s it. Emptiness. That’s the discovery. It’s not deep. It’s so shallow it hurts. And I find that the half of history and human behavior that we’d rather not think about is better explained in these ten words than in anything else I’ve encountered.
It’s why Trump, the apotheosis of emptiness, is their natural leader. He who exists only when filling our space. . . with his emptiness. It’s like a demonic koan."
