Feel free to let me know when you've stopped the nonsense and pulled yourself together.




Of course it dates back to the Hippy Trail of the 1960/70's. The shorthand in Western popular music between vaguely Indian Hindu (Sitar) music and the use of drugs like Marijuana and Opium.

While watching Stacy Martin play Charles Sobharj's wife in; "The Serpant" (2021) caused me such anxiety. 

While it shows how much smaller the World is in the Globalised Era. During the Colonial Era when "Metropolis" (1927) was made the East, the Orient was considered new and exotic people only heard stories about. During the Neo-Colonial Era of the Hippy Trail Asia was considered an almost mythological place explored only by the very few. These days it seems compulsory for Western teenagers to take a highly commercialised Gap Year package holiday in Thailand, between High School and University.

Oh, and did you hear. Eurovision is going to Asia!

Of Course There's More Than One Type Of Totalitarian Capitalism.

I'm sure Pedro Pascal is familiar with State-Run Totalitarian Capitalism. State Owned Enterprises (SOE's) like Petrobras, PescaPeru, MineroPeru. And all that. However Big Tech's decision to adopt the No Nipples Rule could well be an example of State-Absent Totalitarian Capitalism. Where there are no checks on the power of Corporations. Rather like in the Captaincies before the locals got all nibbly. Or in the time of the Robber Barons during the US' Gilded Age. A small group of very rich people who own the infrastructure got together and decided this is the rule we have to live by now. Not only didn't we tell them to introduce that rule we probably don't even know who they are. We certainly didn't get a vote to put them in a position where they can decide what the rules are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW9H4M6eQqc (1913 Massacre, Woody Guthrie, Asch, Audio, Topic).
