Everythingsbeendoneism? Perhaps there is another term I’m not familiar with.
P.S. I don’t personally subscribe to this view, but am just wondering what to call it . . . cultural exhaustion? 🤷♂️
EDIT: I should say that I don’t necessarily subscribe to this view; it kind of depends on what mood I’m in, to what degree I’m projecting my own feelings of old age and fatigue onto the outside world, and so forth.
Stupid, I guess?
Art and culture are dependent on technology and social norms.
We sure as shit haven’t explored all possible cultural norms and, absent a climate apocalypse, have not reached the height of technology.
Like, imagine if we could move stars, for an extremely sci-fi example. Imagine if we had a war with xenomorphs? What would the fear of being used by a parasitic species generate art-wise? What kind of celebrations would be created when/if we won?
Art and culture ate expressions of human emotion and experiences. We sure haven’t experienced everything, not felt everything it is possible to feel.
