PENERTRATING QUESTIONS

certainly the sort you wouldn't expect to see on TV nowadays.

The definition of intellectual and mainstream is ambiguous, and with the diversification of channels and massive increase in content it’s a difficult comparison to make in terms of appreciation. TED talks, Self help industry, podcasts, 24 hour news with plenty of expert consultation might be seen as mainstreaming niche / intellectual subjects while light entertainment needs to focus on what it does best

Contemporary culture has eliminated the concept and public figure of the intellectual. A cretinous anti-intellectualism presides, cheerled by hacks in the pay of multinational corporations who reassure their bored readers that there is no need to rouse themselves from their stupor. Zer0 Books knows that another kind of discourse - intellectual without being academic, popular without being populist - is not only possible: it is already flourishing. Zer0 is convinced that in the unthinking, blandly consensual culture in which we live, critical and engaged theoretical reflection is more important than ever before.

"So, Edmund, would you say you are a genius?"

Edmund pauses, to reflect.

"Yes."

Computers and stuff! Something about computers making us all generalists with no-attention spans. The internet destroyed intellectual property and then the intellectual itself.
