Reminds me of the "Found: Artifacts from the Future" that used to (still does?) run in the final pages of Wired magazine. I don't really get what this one is trying to say though.
It’s one of those sort of articles by someone who has a hobby of philosophy. For non-hobbyists trying to extract information from it, it becomes an effort of self flagellation. A good litmus test is if any attempt at satire would be inferior to the comedy of the real thing.
I find it best to quickly realize that I am absolutely not the target audience, and move on.
Can’t believe Cabinet is still around. Issue 8’s “bang the keys swiftly” (2002) is still one of my favorite articles re: media history
