I optimistically disagree: the natural world and the canon will always preserve our longing for great art. We are the same people fundamentally as our ancestors were. Humanity does not ultimately want 2:2 level essays and flat images. I predict an increasing turn away from the machine and captured institutions back to real conversation, real life, passion, romance, seduction, flesh, ambiguity and complexity. It’s already happening. Zoomers raised on a steady diet of computer (school, parents, surveillance, boredom, monitoring, prison) associate online not with cyberutopian avatars and freeplay but with depression and isolation.
