Hear, hear, Nick

“…As far as I can see, cancel culture is mercy’s antithesis. Political correctness has grown to become the unhappiest religion in the world. Its once honourable attempt to reimagine our society in a more equitable way now embodies all the worst aspects that religion has to offer (and none of the beauty) — moral certainty and self-righteousness shorn even of the capacity for redemption. It has become quite literally, bad religion run amuck.

Cancel culture’s refusal to engage with uncomfortable ideas has an asphyxiating effect on the creative soul of a society. Compassion is the primary experience — the heart event — out of which emerges the genius and generosity of the imagination. Creativity is an act of love that can knock up against our most foundational beliefs, and in doing so brings forth fresh ways of seeing the world. This is both the function and glory of art and ideas. A force that finds its meaning in the cancellation of these difficult ideas hampers the creative spirit of a society and strikes at the complex and diverse nature of its culture.”

You’ll be damned

burningpencilsYou let a bunch of autistic half-robots plan the future of the whole humanity.
They maybe have high IQ, yes, but zero EQ, and never understood anything that is human. You pay them extremely well and let them control the mainstream narrative of values which underestimates literature, history, art, passion, spirituality, creativity, love, true self-expression, music, irony, sense of humor, literally everything that distinguishes us from animals… or machines.
And here we go.
A display addict, brainwashed mankind, ruled by social media and their own narcissism. Your soulless sociopaths made the whole world as fucked up as they are. Empty shells of fake self-confidence, loneliness and despair. Lost, unhappy creatures, who can’t maintain real human relationships, can’t love themselves, because they don’t even know themselves, so they can’t love each other either. They don’t know where they came from, and they don’t know where they’re going. Their life is meaningless, because they can’t believe in anything anymore. They can’t find their places in this world, because your heartless engineers have alienated them from their own nature.
They are powerless, so they can’t build anything important, they can only destroy.

And now you pretend to be surprised.
Wow.
You’ll be so damned.
