Antihumanism today

“What’s the story?” is a question that is always there. What’s the story you are telling, or being told, about what you are doing and why? What’s the story of your life, your society, your identity, your place in the cosmos? What’s the story guiding your assumptions about social destiny, the meaning of existence, the nature of right and wrong?

B... b... bu-but I like stories about planet-eating monsters and bad men in turbans!

The Clash of Civilizations

POLICE called to Worcester Mews in West Hampstead after reports of loud racist propaganda coming from a flat were instead able to identify the noise as country and western music.

The incident took place last Friday evening.

Police suspect an ongoing dispute between neighbours may have triggered the call.
