Loading ...On a wall in Oldham is scrawled the immortal words modern life is rubbish. Shall we look for evidence? Well, first of all let us consider the Britney episode. She has been made the plaything of a hateful media. They said she was fat (?) and that it was the worst performance of all time. Perhaps it wasn’t a masterpiece, but it was no worse than all of the celebrated performances given by the X-factors and the people on Help Me! I Wanna Be a Star. These people win their television shows and immediately sell a notable number of records. But their performances are no better than what was put on the main news of the BBC. The entire Britney episode tells you everything you need to know about that culture.
The second thing we might consider is what has happened recently to one of the greatest television dramas ever made. Yes, Saleem was right, Battlestar Galactica is a modern classic. I waited with great eagerness for the release of the boxed set and have now finished watching it. As I got through the second half I began to wonder ‘why is this getting worse and worse? Where did the story go? Where did the characters go? Where is all the style?’ I have now discovered the answer. The channel who was funding the show interfered with it and forced the producers to abandon their story-arc in favour of standalone episodes. They had money but they were ignorant and aesthetically destitute. This happens all the time. It tells you everything you need to know about modern life. Almost.
The third thing we might consider is that the Yangtze River Dolphin has now been declared extinct. It was an intelligent mammal with a brain larger than a human’s. Who knows where evolution may have taken them? But disgusting humanity exterminated them. This tells me everything I need to know.
Please excuse my rough writing style. Please excuse my absence from Neocrats. All my energy has been directed towards the completion of my book.
