If you just consume

 

pop culture

 

and

 

don't process it,

 

critcally,

 

or

 

try to elevate it

 

in your mind

 

and 

 

make it your own,

 

it's just sad.

!Plain old sad, 

 

people!

'...some of my

 

most neurotically

 

fierce bitterness

 

is the result

 

of realizing

 

how untrue 

 

people have become...

 

I must say

 

I don't particularly

 

approve of forgetting

 

the facts of

 

life and death

 

in an orgy

 

of intellectual

 

pseudo-synthesis.'
