Fluent bullshit, chaos creation and noise are all symptoms of a culture not coping with the complexity it orchestrated. The best thing to do is feel very sad about the phenomenon and put energy into not being distracted by the insanity of it. I connect with the “journalists” via their Linkedin. They explicitly don’t supply a contact number, address or email, anywhere. I have previously tried to contact their “office” to point out inaccuracies. Here’s my take: There’s no point getting outraged or bothering to correct their misinformation. Between the three articles, I could probably count 20 non-truths. Nor did I get “slammed” by outraged Aussies. In reference to the first article, above, I did not write a pro-Palestinian post the example they point to in the nonsensical article doesn’t mention Palestine or Gaza. I will forever be a multi-millionaire TV host in their files. I’ve got to know the formula over many years of their bullying: Pick up on one line from an interview and turn it into a loud headline insert clickbait image (preferably one where the subject looks unhinged or fat/ugly/compromised) then copy and paste the content of every article they’ve ever written on that person without bothering to update or check if the original data was correct. Shall we leave creatives to create as they see fit? PS Here’s The Project clip from Friday. Creatives’ contributions should be discerning, and encourage discernment they should lead us to better thinking and be accompanied by context. More than this, they mostly result in destruction, not creation. And such cheap contributions rarely add anything to the landscape. Creatives should not do “fast fashion” soundbites. In the age of shouty social media, creatives are expected to speak out on these very limited platforms. But, and here’s the important subtlety, they have tended to do it artfully and via mediums that work for their particular expression. They have pushed intellectual and cultural boundaries and provoked new mindsets. Indeed.Ĭreatives (novelists, artists, actors and influencers) throughout history have spoken out - mostly controversially and progressively - on big issues. The novelist - or artist - should produce a couture response.
