It's worthless crap that requires meaningless abstractions to justify its existence and if it's symbolic of anything it is of Western civilisation in terminal decline. There, I've said it and I feel so much better. Call me a philistine if you want. I no longer care.

I realise that being a self hating philistine means some sort of empathy with a minority of your neighbours but you can do something about it.

If I could dress up my morning toaly with the latest buzz words about how I conceptualised it and what I was saying with it, I'd be an artist.

Pretty much sums up my own thoughts very well, viceroy.

Thank you.
