Finished watching The Chair Company staring Tim Robinson he co-created the show and co-wrote it with some of the same folks that worked on I Think You Should Leave and Friendship. Its a lot its one of those things if your not into his thing it might not be a show you are into its absurd and its everything but it was ABSOLUTE CINEMA, coming in only with 8 episodes. And there is also confirmation for season 2.

The Face of Another (1966). dir. Hiroshi Teshigahara

Each day I die again, not in flesh, but within the symbolic realm

Land’s Accelerationism aims at the extirpation of humanity in favour of an “abstract plan­et­ary intel­li­gence rap­idly con­struct­ing itself from the bri­c­ol­aged frag­ments of former civil­isa­tions” (Srnicek and Williams 2013).

To slow down. To go screenless. To be present. These have become bourgeois consumer experiences. Optimized rather than inhabited. And here we are, quantifying our own rejection of quantification, tracking time spent offline as if presence itself were a productivity metric.

Capitalism replaces collectivity with the ideology of hard work, individual responsibility, and isolated consumption.

I don't like work... but I like what is in work - the chance to find yourself.

- Joseph Conrad

capitalism is insidious because it does not require belief. Only participation. And exhaustion.

this is so surreal and absurd
