The author reflects on the possible relationships of influence between some contemporary tendencies and some expressions of new forms of discomfort. For a therapist the delicate balance between respect for self determination and his own function of lessening alienation presents interesting shades of complexity. Reflection on the discomfort of civilization appears to be an important epistemic indicator because it forces us to question our idea of what is evolutionary and on our ideals about rendering people subjective. If conformity can sabotage a project of identity and compromise the ideal of moral functioning into an adaptive remodelling, it is important to keep awake an ethical alarm and a clinical commitment regarding everything in today’s culture that opposes thinking and impedes interrogating the sense of existence.
