""Nothing can be appreciated in a vacuum. That's what accelerated culture does; it doesn't speed things up as much as it jams everything into the same wall of sound. But that's not necessarily tragic. The goal of being alive is to figure out what it means to be alive, and there's a myriad of ways to deduce that answer; I just happened to prefer examining the questions through the context of Pamela Anderson and the Real World and Frosted Flakes. It's certainly no less plausible than trying to understand Kant or Wittgenstein... In and of itself, nothing really matters. What matters is that nothing is ever "in and of itself.""" -Chuck Klosterman, "Sex, Drugs & Cocoa Puffs."
