Cultural Stagnation: The Remix of Dreams

Cultural progression has transformed into a cycle of remixing and recycling past ideas rather than developing new visions for the future. The notion of morality and truth has become relative, obscuring clear boundaries and leading to a blurred understanding of narrative in our lives. This results in what Mark Fisher describes as the 'slow cancellation of the future,' where past generations could dream of radically different futures, but contemporary society seems trapped in a loop of repeating the same aspirations. The depletion of political imagination is highlighted, suggesting that the lack of innovative thinking has confined humanity to merely reiterating past dreams instead of pursuing bold new possibilities.
