Readability is questionable at times, but the content is poignant to both myself and society, and fun to contemplate

抑郁的人是一种劳作动物,他在没有任何外力压迫的情况下,完全自愿地剥削自我。

Mostly nonsense. There are a few interesting and incisive observations about contemporary culture in here, but most of it is so concealed behind specious German idealism that it's pretty much useless. His idea is that we live in an age characterized not by discipline, but by excessive self-entrepreneurship, which he relates to the development of mental disorders like depression and ADHD. This is potentially interesting, but then he spends most of the time talking about the Other and Hegel and shit. Just read Houellebecq instead.
