This essay captures my fear that all writing has now come to be the regurgitation of some predetermined position in a stale opinion matrix.
It is also an exquisite piece of performative self-contradiction since @jehsmith clearly eschews any such matrix.https://thepointmag.com/2019/examined-life/its-all-over …
Thanks.I'm grateful that you can appreciate a bit of performative self-contradiction-- it's at the heart of the problem, rather than a sign that I haven't correctly identified the problem.

Agreed. I think it does undercut the most pessimistic interpretation of your claim: your essay is proof that art and individuality are still possible. But it still leaves possible that such individuality will be exceedingly rare, and wholly marginal to mainstream discourse.
