You [the individual] can't emerge or transcend as the modernists, Marxists, the avant garde, and enlightenment had once hoped. You can't escape history, nothing is original, can't breakaway from the past, and you can't tear away.

There is no beyond because there is nothing there in the first place. There is nothing but surface, artificiality, cheap sound effects and thin synths. There is no good beyond our ordinary sensations and pleasure: looks good, sounds good, feels good too. So we might as well embrace hedonism. The best I hope for is a solipsistic acceleration of this predicament where any kitsch or chintz that gives pleasure is fair game: hyper mediocrity.
