He manages to be, as Hua Hsu pointed out in a recent New Yorker article, an "Asian Everyman" who plays down "identity politics" and opts for an almost anachronistic message about everyone coming together — one that, in its rosy vagueness, contrasts with the rest of the field's willingness to dive, however emptily, into thorny questions about busing, reparations or gender equality.

McComb said of the recording, "All of these songs are hysterical exercises to try and deceive people into thinking that the narrator is feeling one way, when it can be a damning indictment of the narrator of the song. He’s the person mouthing off, covering up this great big hole. Mr. Butcher it was who said 'bluster emptily', which is the feeling of someone trying to hide an enormous wound by an enormous amount of words." In 1992 the Greek indie band Rest in Peace changed their name to Raining Pleasure as a reference to the record's title track.

Intuition in phenomenology refers to cases where the intentional object is directly present to the intentionality at play; if the intention is "filled" by the direct apprehension of the object, you have an intuited object. Having a cup of coffee in front of you, for instance, seeing it, feeling it, or even imagining it – these are all filled intentions, and the object is then intuited. The same goes for the apprehension of mathematical formulae or a number. If you do not have the object as referred to directly, the object is not intuited, but still intended, but then emptily.

In 1970 Gielgud played another modern role in which he had great success; he joined Ralph Richardson at the Royal Court in Chelsea in David Storey's Home. The play is set in the gardens of a nursing home for mental patients, though this is not clear at first. The two elderly men converse in a desultory way, are joined and briefly enlivened by two more extrovert female patients, are slightly scared by another male patient, and are then left together, conversing even more emptily. The Punch critic, Jeremy Kingston, wrote: The play transferred to the West End and then to Broadway.

As bureaucracy promotes a rationally organized, rule-oriented functioning of society, Kreiss, Finn, and Turner claim that peer production undermines this aspect due to its tendency to encourage individual behavior based on private morality. This tendency, they argue, degrades autonomy by “collapsing public and private boundaries,” allowing people's professional lives to extend into their private domains. Other critics claim that the participatory nature of peer production is apt to generate misinformation and products of inferior quality. In his book The Cult of the Amateur, Andrew Keen assesses peer- produced content on the Internet and asserts that it exists as a “smokescreen” which emptily promises more truth and deeper knowledge, but actually leading to the disappearance of truth.

Publishers Weekly wrote in 1999: > Strauss's narrators, whether telling their stories in the first or third > person, are middle-aged intellectuals and observers resigned to their fates > and often undone by "rare conjunctions" and "borderline encounters." ... > Despite Strauss's beautifully limpid writing, the reader craves more > continuity than is provided, and latches onto the first-person segments > hoping for an engagement that rarely manifests itself. In the end, these > disconnected speeches spin themselves out emptily[.] Noah Isenberg of The New York Times wrote that "Strauss offers redolent musings, sumptuous and refined", although "much of the writing here is marred by its opacity and by tiresome, pretentious rambling that keeps the reader from ever gaining access to the deeper meaning Strauss's work undoubtedly aspires to convey".
