I haven't heard that name in a while.

I always loved his cameo in Annie Hall:

I t reminds me of a poem by W.H. Auden "The Age of Anxiety" I read in school time.

The thene here is quite similar. The lines that I still remember "The world needs a wash and a week's rest. We would rather be ruined than changed We would rather die in our dread Than climb the cross of the moment And let our illusions die"

Maybe it dovetails into The Age of Reason. With the full pursuit of scientific measurement, analysis and digital facsimile of every human minuture within our environment.

Maybe a shame that the myriad potentials of technology is exploited to manage us collectively, and not employed individually to manage ourselves or our collectives.

I'm trying to imagine that after the wheel was created, people were sat besides themselves in confusion as horses and carts started to whip by. Or perhaps in those days, people started to fashion themselves a cart out of offcuts in the shed and started hanging out at long distance coach stations and moving stuff around in their carts.

and such.

No no no no.... It is the age of Narcissism. Narcissism creates a lot of anxiety. Yes, narcissism elevates with the technology.
