imagine being Mark Fisher

you luck out and get to do your PhD at Warwick right as one of the most interesting movements in contemporary philosophy is at its peak and everyone there is convinced we're on the brink of a neo-cyberpunk techno-leftist cultural revolution but then you notice their prose is actually way better than yours like ouch way better and you don't understand mathematics or thermodynamics like Land does and you'd never be able to translate an entire text of Lyotard like Iain Hamilton Grant and you couldn't believe it when you walked in on Land screwing Sadie Plant in the ass wtf you thought she was a dyke but you finish your PhD anyway even if you had to whip up some gobbledygook about Toy Story being the epitome of capitalism's uncanny reterritorialization of existence near the end to pad the word count holy fuck what were you even doing and Brassier won't shut up about Laruelle and honestly his brand of nihilism seems way cooler than yours but this Graham Harman guy seems neat he likes Lovecraft and the latest Goldsmith workshop was a smash hit everyone assures you but no one seems interested in talking about cybernetic Oedipus anymore Grant has moved on to Schelling and Land is sober and you still can't believe he got to fuck Sadie Plant but you have to shit out another essay about how The Clash and The Jam exemplify some arcane element of marxism through whatever bullshit Lacanian lens god you wish you had went with the Qabalah schizo stuff like Land (who got to fuck Sadie Plant) and now he's an altright nazi or something on Twitter and Zizek just mentioned you in some stupid lecture goddamnit now you'll have to respond in some blogpost and tie it into big pharma and Kubrick and Lacan (yet again) oh and be sure to use "jouissance" and Sadie Plant hasn't published a book since the 90s and the CCRU has decayed into really lame Accelerationist cliques and let's face it Capital Realism was a fluke you know deep down you've been typecast as "le marxist-gnome manlet music depression guy" and you're in your late 40s now and you just mentioned James Cameron and fucking Avatar in your latest superfluous essay and we were going to change the world weren't we where did it all go wrong but the rope's right there isn't it hell yeah it is

I mean holy shit just imagine being Mark Fisher
