Quote:I guess that depends on what you did at university. If you smoke enough pot, Star Trek will seem deep. But so will Teletubbies.Nah if you go to a standard university and got good grades you see i as deep ( i know his because i did and so do the dozen or so people i know who also did )
Quote:I hear that most universities are taking on the Neoliberal trend of emphasizing employment skills and eliminating the humanities.
Then you heard wrong
Quote: If students don't learn how to read texts carefully, they won't be able to see how Star Trek is Neoliberal propaganda for the Military/Industrial Complex, produced by for-profit business to please the corporate sponsors. People might actually think it's for thinking humans.Only if you have never watched the show
Quote:Is it cynical if it's true?Yes
Quote:Star Wars is arguably worse. We all identify with the attractive people in the Resistance, and we're all sure we'd be on their side if we were in that world. Meanwhile our actual country, to which we actually pay taxes, is as bad as the Evil Empire.Yeah no
Quote:Nah he current fiction is fine and adult
The point is that there is fiction that you don't have to be cynical about. And this is what grown-ups should spend their time on.
