I always thought it was a bit of him outright bitching about the lack of genuine belief and argument for that belief in most modern writers. He's ultimately a depressed person because our society is a lampshaded hellhole for any selfaware umwelt. We know its awful but we decided that knowing it's awful makes it okay for it to be awful. His depression stems from his complete inability to connect with people in a meaningful way because anytime he tries to do what FMD did people can't connect to it due to their own inability to have deep conscious belief in something without being degraded for it, either via themselves or the external society.

fucking found it

"And a champion went out from the camp of the Hipsters, named David, from Illinois, whose height was six cubits and a span. He had a white bandana on his head, and he was armed with a book written with no discernible talent, and the weight of the book was five thousand shekels of hype and over-rated complexity. And he had gay tennis shorts on his legs and a tennis racket between his shoulders, to make less conspicuous his sweat." (1 Samuel 17:4–7).
