Unger sees four flaws in the human condition. They are, our "mortality" and the facing of imminent death; our "groundlessness" in that we are unable to grasp the solution to the enigma of existence, see the beginning or end of time, nor put off the discovery of the meaning of life; our "insatiability" in that we always want more, and demand the infinite from the finite; and our "susceptibility to belittlement" which places us in a position to constantly confront petty routine forcing us to die many little deaths.
