Recently finnsihed reading Capitalist realism by mark fisher
Really good piece on observation about the western consumer-neoliberal culture. He uses a lot of examples and references, but i dont get some of them because it was written in britain in 2007-ish. I like what he wrote about "reflexive inpotence"- when you knopw jthings are bad, but dont do anything about it and the terms connection to "depressive hedonia"- one feels powerless to do anything about the world and results to shallow, hedonistic pleasures.
I started reading Ghosts of my life aswell. I plan to make a youtube video exsplaining "the slow cancellation of the future". Its gonna be a bit of a challenge so far. Dont know if i should put the video into multiple parts instead of one long video; because the animating will prob take time and i can get a little inpatient heheh.
Id like to use the video as an almost-exscuse to show the thought of that it is perhaps neccecary to learn to consume with a heightened awareness and wisdom of actually remembering and connetcting to the work
