so bereft of any contact, of any rubbing up against ultimate reality....and how rather than being repulsed by pop simulacrums of real 'experience' they clutch it to their round heeled sensibilities....

not to put too fine a point on it....but generally speaking i reckon mebbe 1 or 2 % of mass culture has anything that pertains to alleviation of the human dilemma...(it's ONLY meaningful purpose)

of course one could argue that in an inverted sense the juvenile pap that passes as 'cognoscentum' demonstrates the foregoing argument as proven....which i shall do 'cause i'm a charitable kind of guy......first i feel pity for saps...but if they show any hint of being clever about their appalling taste i shoulder them into the gutter or ditch depending on whether i am in town or in the country.
