[livejournal.com profile] imomus has chose to write one of his characteristically provocative short essays on the subject of Michael Jackson, "The King of Yet-Also." Jackson, in [livejournal.com profile] imomus' view, is the future that humanity can hope for if it survives current troubles: "Jackson is what all humans will become if we develop further in the direction of postmodernism and self-mediation. He is what we'll become if we get both more Wildean and more Nietzschean. He's what we'll become only if we're lucky and avoid a new brutality based on overpopulation and competition for dwindling resources."

That idea is so bloody depressing, especially if you don't agree with it.
