“When we all have pocket telephones”
Lately, stand-up comedians have been saying they're out of a job,
because the absurdity of reality is escaping parody. Nothing stays
funny for long, because soon enough it's true, and then banal.In a world where all things are absurd, ipso facto nothing is absurd.An interesting question becomes what remains? What are the solid
relations that underpin our humanity?Having a boss that tells you what to do? No, long since passed the
point where I have to tell my boss what to do - it's called being the
consultant in a clueless, inverted meritocracy.People wanting to take your money? No. The insane conceit of a
"cash-less society" has already created situations where you cannot
physically force someone to take money from you.I'm honestly struggling to see what is cast in stone. Even death and
taxes are looking worried.
