Why people think “culture is dead”

Longest video yet! I have had two months of much needed self reflection + books to read… I discuss Claire Bishop’s theory on attention, automatism, AI, mid century modern Facebook Marketplace slop, address the hyperfication of media trends causing a reduction in itself, Franco Berardi, Italian Futurism, Herbert Read….. actually I’m going to stop listing things because basically I kind of talk about a lot. But long answer short, NO. it is not dead.
