He no longer respects history because in today’s society it doesn’t matter, he would rather destroy something beautiful just so he can rebuild it.

“I see, you’ve made a new friend,” said Ty sarcastically, getting up from his seat and extending his hand towards Lorenzo in a friendly manner, “Hi, I’m Tyler – Cassy’s ex-boyfriend.” His voice carried strange kind of boldness, as though he feared nothing in the world.

The first step towards Tyler’s downward spiral in his life, which also led him to start joining therapy groups, was when the narrator was denied any medication for his insomnia by a doctor. After the doctor refused to acknowledge his suffering, Tyler realized that he would find no solace in asking for help, and he reacted to this by relying on personal solipsism to help himself.
