(Ir)religiosity: Lyotard, social media, and consuming knowledge

  • Jonathan Brink · 3 months ago
    I really don't know why but the quote from Say Anything came to mind:

    Lloyd Dobler: I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.

    That's a really great quote. The unfortunate thing is that so many people don't have a choice but to have a career based on all those things. They have to just to survive and pay the bills. They don't ever really get a chance to think outside the box or realize their full potential and don't have a choice but to participate in a system the whole purpose of which is to process, consume, and produce.

    Yet we continue to organize ourselves around that model.
