Was reading that zombie lore is a artistic thesis of a post apocalyptic world…

Helps the people suffering under apocalypticism caused by alienation deal with their psychosis…

Helps them imagine there will be some level of existence post their apocalypse…

“ Neoliberalism, in its zombie form since 2009, ”

We’ve had ZIRP since 2009 now the Biden people have ended ZIRP so maybe it will emerge back out of its current zombie form…

“ Rebuilding After The Zombie Apocalypse
VIEW SOURCE
The aftermath is the common name for a period of time after a zombie outbreak has ended. Characteristics of an aftermath scenario include rebuilding cities, establishing governments, creating new social structures, and reviving culture, and generally restoring life to a pre-apocalypse state.”

Zombies are just one form of the apocalypse…

You have environmental apocalypse, armageddon apocalypse, zombie apocalypse…

It’s just one of many forms of apocalyptic thinking by the alienated among us…

It comes from alienation…

It’s a whole big thing…

Zombies are figurative, poor people are real.

Making a 'poverty apocalypse' movie ruins the fantasy.

Peter Pan said...

Btw, 'deadly virus apocalypse' movies are science fiction.

“ Zombies are figurative”. … “ science fiction.”

Yo, That’s what Art degree people are trained to do… then they try to apply the same methodology to try to operate and administer real systems and it is ofc a clusterF….

There's a saying: When life imitates art.

Gotta put some teeth into that saying.

Matt Franko said...

Art (figurative constructs) imitates (real) life…

iow Art degree people use the figurative to represent the literal…

Science degree people use the abstract to represent the real….

“Education “ is not homogeneous…

The academe is bifurcated since Darwin (1860) …

There is an Art side based on the traditional Socrates/Plato (human) method … Hegel: “if the facts (truth) conflict with the (human) theory then so much worse for the facts”

and there is a Science side based on truth (non human) … Newton: “F=ma”…

Jesus: “Plato is the gate that leads to destruction “. … “I am the truth”…

The whole Art degree side is dark and full of material system losers.,, we see the results everyday…

Peter Pan said...

With a big enough hammer, life can be forced to imitate art.

Or some elitist's warped version of reality...
