The “high-bro sphere” is a circle of Europeans who are so culturally advanced they are not even a circle - they are a sphere.
They sit around in their special sphere saying things like “The Economist is pretentious, market-driven, and stupid, like Eurovision.”
Then they say “Yeah bro, high five!” like Borat.
- coldtea 6y agoNot sure what you mean here, but there appears to be a lot of resistance to the idea that, god forbid, anybody anywhere in the world might have a higher education and/or appreciate something more than pop culture.
- wombatmobile 6y agoI like opera, renaissance art, pop culture, rock music, Impressionism, jazz, and kitsch, amongst other things. I’m not sure what you mean by “more than” pop culture. There is good art and bad art in all genres, which are just mediums of cultural communication that reach different audiences. I didn’t understand the reductionist criticism of The Economist, which I have found to publish numerous examples of good criticism and bad criticism, about a range of topics, mostly to do with economics, and occasionally culture. I don’t think culture is The Economist’s forte. They probably don’t either, except when cultural platforms have measurable economic consequences.

- wombatmobile 6y agoHow do you measure "substantial"?
- medicineman 6y agoHe is making the racist claim that there is objectively superior forms of art to others.
