1. anticulturalist
we are surrounded by data
this is only information when
interpreted by the individual for his own needs
therefore there is only one
world view, only one world: the world of the individual
this also applies digitally
when information is pushed out
to the world by any individual, this is inefficient and dishonest communication
this is because information is received
individually at the end-user stage as data
it only becomes information on
interpretation by the individual for his own needs
culture is a shared illusion
that the data has a certain shared meaning or force
culture is a fatally flawed
communication because each individual interprets data for his own needs
culture does not exist aside
from this shared contract of delusion because individuals cannot express this
effectively. Imagine describing a colour to a blind man.
Each person therefore is an Anticulturalist
but this definition is also flawed because each person will interpret and
utilise data for his own needs.
anticulturalism is as unstable as anything else
when signified, signifier and information are self-destructive concepts.

Dear Joe,
ReplyDeleteI thought your anticulturalist article was interesting. I would apply the idea that an anticulturalist is someone who doesn't see culture and tradition as being paramount rules above common sense or scientific or practical truth. Culturalists now see their traditions as trumping any scientific facts surrounding the COVID virus. They value their shared culture and world view.
