What is the void, anyway? The death of God stuff? Haven’t we got over that yet?
The death of all authority figures. And anything that stands in for God.
And the death of the Self, maybe, with a capital S. The death of who we are.
The usual stuff, in other words. That was exciting in Paris around sixty years ago.
The void’s the great Zero The great nothing-burger.
Nihilism, in other words.
The best conspiracy theories are the sublime ones. The wilder, the better.
You’re trying to fill in the void with your crazy theories. When really, there’s just the void – just nihilism.
Just capitalism, you mean. Late capitalism.
We’re being allowed to theorize as wildly as we like because the truth is so banal.
The void is baseless human stupidity. And greed. And compliance. And going along to get along. And not noticing what’s in front of your eyes.
The void is utter human mediocrity. It’s no more complex than that.
So cock up versus conspiracy, right?
It’s just fuck up. Fallenness.
