Lasch via Miller via Hummel:

These people have sold the rest of us on their way of life, but it is their way of life, first and foremost, and it reflects their values, their rootless existence, their craving for novelty and contempt for the past, their confusion of reality with electronically mediated images of reality.

Daniel Hummel’s essay on the humanism of Jimmy Carter and Christopher Lasch is an excellent and important one.
