I suppose most of us make rules for ourselves. Perhaps it’s the absence of work, of a job, that has made me so...

You could have been immortal but instead you got me drunk and left me in a sewage ditch in the middle of winter

That's quite the turnaround from 'death begins at 40.'
Yeah I thought it was all over for you Luke. I thought you were going to go down in a blaze of vodka, DMT and arson, taking Woops, the Tate and a few hundred passerbys with you. Bit disappointed tbh
the fear of aging, politically speaking, is another petit-bourgeois degenerecy.
Of course, many working class people have a fear of aging, just as many working class people are inclined to think within the gradiants of bourgeois society, and many workers are equally as likely to see themselves as necessarily being a proprietor (even if only of their own labour power.) Hence working class conservatism should never be dismissed — hello anarchism? (much less ridiculed) outright. Marx says as much. The working class is raised by capital to see through culture and habit the laws of the capitalist mode of production as overwhelmingly natural.
But it is within the middle classes that the anxiety of aging reaches an ungodly fever pitch, where the only way in which it can renew its feeble existence is through the clash of generations. You can see this in Ash Sarkar's grifting. She believes, like the typical university educated intellectual she is, that millennials are actually more progressive than their parents, which means nothing, because all views held by xyz individuals are always mutable and are unlikely ever to remain static.

that is ageing gracefully
I am the epitome of the petit-bourgeois degenerate and this explains why I am obsessed with time.
Maybe you can tell Muggs this?
corbyn/anti-corbyn, it's all a farce. He should stop reviving progressive house (indie for dance fans) and read theories of surplus value to a soundtrack of unrelenting speedcore, loftgroover/hms style.
