Posthuman Blues

Evidently there has been some, ah, confusion caused by my list of "people I loathe." Some readers have been upset. I've been accused of superficiality.

In my defense: Did it occur to anyone that the list is deliberately absurd? It's a joke, everyone: a parody of my own quasi-misanthropic leanings, which many readers of this blog have probably noticed by now. Does anyone seriously think I hate all old people? Or all meat-eaters? (Those two categories alone would pretty much cancel out all the people who are dear to me.)

The aim of the post was to parody my hyper-opinionated self by loading the list with ridiculous categories ("people who don't know who Portishead is") as well as a few semi-legitimate ones ("Paris Hilton").

That's all.
