Addiction searching for never-ending reflection, undermining in an equivocal way practice, leaves, as Kierkegaard sees it, in a fatal danger. If nobody takes a decision anymore and thus nobody emerges with such decision as self, nobody is distinct from anybody else in a true way; we face a dreary leveling. Togetherness of human beings emerges as ‘public’, being an impalpable, anonymous ‘publicity’. Its characteristic is ‘babble’; every responsible speech drowns in ‘ramblings’. “Nobody decides anymore him/herself; one is content with setting up committees; at the end the entire era emerges as committee.” “But the mass is the falsehood.”
