Konoko
Welcome to my collapsed moral universe.

  • HERE you find an m4a file of mine. As the title says, it has something to share with that sentence of yours: "Konoko: Welcome to my collapsed moral universe."

  • Credit for that line goes to a book I recently read. It's titled: War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, by former war correspondent Chris Hedges. Quite a remarkable statement on both modern society and the human condition, and short to boot, so it's worth checking out. I've been pulling a lot out of it lately, honestly.

  • Please explain the "short to boot" idiom : I can see it used as both a positive or a negative...
  • If you can't or won't read War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning (like me), you can go for an interview with Chris Hedges. It's shorter, and makes all the relevant points without much pathos.
  • See also Every Five Seconds an Inkjet Printer Dies Somewhere : a short article trying to explain "pointless" massacres (running amok).
  • Borrowing the first sentence of a narrative from an existing piece doesn't seem right.
  • If Konoko talks about her moral universe with as much distance as Hedges talks about his, doesn't that make her inconveniently lucid?
