Konsekvensen er, at mennesket frarøves sine sanser og forstand, og Strunge beskriver en trist verden udelukkende bestående af materielle genstande, heriblandt piller til at dulme angst, smerte og generelt følsomhed.

In der Sprache liegt der Schlüssel verborgen, der uns die Welt verstehen lässt. Ohne das gesprochene Wort in Schriftform ist es nicht möglich Zusammenhänge zu verstehen, Ideen zu verbreiten und die Welt in ihrer Diversität und Komplexität auch nur im Ansatz zu erahnen. Ein weit mehr als gewiefter Wort-Profi, ein überaus einfühlsamer Geist mit Verständnis für literarische Form und künstlerische Ästhetik ist vonnöten, um solch großartige Analysen über Werke zu verfassen, die einem ein größeres Verständnis darüber vermitteln und damit gleichzeitig neue Perspektiven in scheinbar (Un)bekanntes eröffnen.
