We live in a time where everyone seems incredibly loud and close. Whether to hate, ridicule, emulate or love, we cleave to the dramatic and bombastic: the influencer crying her woes into the camera, the mom screaming in her car about “un-schooling” her child because the government is toxic and pervasive, men, who, are missing much of their teeth or have all of their teeth, prattling on about women they would not deign to date. The doomsday prophets and the get-rich-quick charismatic scam artists who lure you in with promises of riches and ruin.
