In response to Michelle’s fabulous post here. Actually, I reject the notion that endings can be divided into ‘happy’ and ‘more realistic’. This is a topic of frequent debate at work (i.e. in the English faculty), because there are certainly those in the faculty who despite any kind of popular or populist fiction as ‘trashy’,

Just, this. People bemoan technology (esp portable social media and the phenomenon of texting the person in the next (same?!) room) as the scariest thing about modern society. I politely disagree.

Ten points if you know where that quote comes from 😉 This is something I meant to post a few weeks ago, and I’ve lost all of it now but the fundamental point. Never mind. It’s still worth noting. Society has spent millenia praising and revering the intellect. Man is a creature of reason, we
