Unsituated
General knowledge is the modern celebration of our Western attempts to dislocate meaning from any commitment, to use vague adjectives and fluffy adverbs to remove any life from my semantics. Life becomes the finite reduction of ourselves, the choices we make that close doors to difference and lock us in our characters. The uniform complexity of these sentences removes all rhythm, any pattern established becoming essentially meaningless with the pointless profusion of Latinate words. A great calm might come over you when we talk about freedom, and what greater freedom than the freedom from meaning? And such freedoms can be found in the platitudes of corporate business, such dismal appeals such as ‘just do it’ and ‘be yourself’. If you or I were rich I doubt we would need to find a website like this. But still we continue to write for faceless strangers, upselling and upvoting that which is most generic and loosest in context. Feel good for doing so, for being general, generic, unsituated.
