Where do our loyalties lie in this disposible world?
Careers used to be life. Now we change jobs at the drop of a coin. Education is no longer valued; certification is the new standard. No more patrons: artists, prostitue yourself for bread! Researchers, prostitute yourself for corporate sponsorship! Or else talk the talk.
Am I just a grumpy old man at the age of 23? Did things actually use to be better or is that just a lie created by the legacy of the hippie generation?
I'd be interested to hear points of view from people whose countries have not totally aped the American cultural experience (like AUS has). The US hippie / flower children / vietnam party is (for better or worse) a part of our past too. Even if it wasn't.
I'm just raging against the machine, here. Don't mind me.
And where the FooK is Nosferatu? |
