ALL HUMANS AND PLANTS AND MATERIALS AND LITERALLY EVERYTHING HAVE A BEGINNING AND AN END – TO BEGIN AND TO END IS A NATURAL AND ORGANIC PROCESS (#RAWVEGAN) – SO WHY ARE WE SO CRITICAL OF THE ‘LIMITATIONS’ OF A CONVENTIONAL BOOK AND TRADITIONAL MEDIUMS WHEN IT IS IN FACT UNNATURAL TO BE IMMORTAL AND LACK FINALITY (AND SPARKLE AND HAVE ANNOYINGLY PERFECT HAIR)? IN FACT, THE ONLY THING THAT REALLY DOES LAST “FOREVER” IS HONEY, AND EVEN THAT GOES A BIT ‘MEH’ THE LONGER IT EXISTS. IF PEOPLE REALLY WANT TO DEFY THE ODDS AND TRANSCEND THE TIMES, DO IT IN QUALITY AND CONTENT DEPTH RATHER THAN EMPTY FORM AND SHAPE. WE ADD NASTY PRESERVATIVES TO FOOD TO MAKE IT LAST LONGER AND INDULGE IN THIS OBSESSION WE HAVE WITH LONGEVITY AND THEN COMPLAIN OF THE LACK OF NUTRITIONAL VALUE PROVIDED BY THESE “PRESERVED” PRODUCTS.
I AIN’T A HATER AND I LOVE NEW TECHNOLOGIES BUT THIS BALDERDASH REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS.
