Thinking
today about how it won’t be long before we’ll be able to inject media, so
consume the entirety of a writer’s work in one sitting. This will likely just lead
to people binge watching The Sopranos all at once, but it also got me to
thinking about what will the difference be? Just injecting all of Cormac
McCarthy or Margaret Atwood, without having to move through each page
physically. I don’t know, maybe I’m in a fucked up mood but I’m starting to get
to this feeling that smart people are just as dumb as dumb people, but in ways
that aren’t as culturally obvious, although also pretty easy to tell. I imagine
this was what my step-grandfather used to be talking about with his voicebox
thing because of throat cancer when he said somebody didn’t have no sense, and
called them “no count”. I think I’m gonna tattoo NO COUNT on my wrist tonight.
