Most, as you say, Monnina?

To check that one out -- "most human individuals still love something or someone" -- we might go to how the rich may or may not as easily as a camel pass through the eye of a needle.

Or we might go to Orwell's "Politics and the English Language," which aligns the rich with those blindly propelled by, carried by all the slogans, clichés, abstractions, banalities, formulae, and other "dead language" wherein those with no humane language dwell.

We do know of the living dead that they "love" standardized testing -- or any machine-like assembly lines which number, package, slot "life" into units, as our rapist, fraud, criminal-in-chief ever indulges his merchandizing, huckstering, lying, and bing-bing-boing-bong pardoning and promoting mass terrorism.
