What this text truly reveals is the effect that nihilism and Wittegenstein’s philosophies has had on cultural studies. As the extent of philosophical inquiry through the written word was capped and the reins passed off to material experimenters, many cultural philosophers seem trapped in a simulation of academic inquiry, but which is really a black hole vortex in their language games. They say that the final frontier is the mind and some even suggest that the reason we haven’t encountered aliens is that before we explore the infinite expanse of mostly lifeless space, intelligent life enters the infinite vortex of their minds and thus look in rather than look out. What is truly left to be inquired about when we look into the distance and see only the void. The games we play are the lives we live and perhaps all we need is someone to twist our minds such that we can see something delightfully new with a little wit and humor. And maybe that is a life well lived for the technically ungifted.
