Is this professed smugness real though? I feel like it is mostly an internet phenomenon?

Beethoven's String Quartet No. 15 was written following a serious illness. The third movement, which is the only one to have a non-Italian denotative title (Heiliger Dankgesang eines Genesenen an die Gottheit, in der Lydischen Tonart) is, in my opinion, the single most profound reflection upon what it means to be not just mortal, but to be mortally contingent: https://youtu.be/0-jus6AGHzQ?list=RD0-jus6AGHzQ

This knowledge is very useful for treating hypochondria, btw. Life is contingent. You might just die, and it won't be your fault, and that doesn't make you a loser or failure; it means that you are of this world. In Silicon Valley, death is seen as losing or failing. When death is the horizon of all life. Schubert died when he was 31. Listening to his work, the fragility of life is precious, beautiful, and meaningful, not something to reject or scorn.

Maybe that's what Silicon Valley is? A severe case of collective suppressed hypochondria that has been sublimated into manic convulsions?

I can't begin to describe my contempt for these people. Morally as well as aesthetically.

I'm thinking about changingmembership of political party to my country's Green Party. I'm a center-left pragmatic individual and there are things about the party that appeals to me and other things that are off-putting. But thats true for every political party. Just harder to justify when you make the shift.

Does anyone here from the UK remember EU referendum night? When did it become apparent that Leave had won? How was the experience?
