    1. Dark Euphoria A visualisation of Brue Stirling’s notes on the cultural temperament of the coming decade: Reboot 11
    2. Where did the future go? • We’ve known since the 12th century what progress is: Master nature, more security, better health..... • What we’re going to get: No money, scarcity, financial collapse, low- intensity global warfare, and a climate crisis. • We’re deliberately moving backwards.
    3. the cultural temperament of the coming decade • Aging Baby • Gen x: Boomers. things falling Have the apart, votes. everything is possible Crisis Gothic Capitalism High Tech Shock of Dark the old Euphoria Emergent Favela countries Chic • BRICS, • Gen x: fundies- action is globalising but cheaper not progressing than control
    4. Who is? What is? GOTHIC HIGH TECH
    5. Steve Jobs •brilliant but dying of something secret and horrible •got both hands on the steering wheel - but death is waiting
    6. a heroic 18th century gothic novel brilliant poly-ethnic with no ideology
    7. will cheerfully campaign against themselves
    8. no lie holds sway -but nothing holds
    9. position themselves in the narrative rather than build any permanent infrastructure
    10. cheerleaders not leaders
    11. why are gen x goths? why do they like to dress up like dead people? don't blame me because I'm already dead don't blame me I'm a vampire
    12. And on the flipside FAVELA CHIC
    13. lost everything material- everything they've built and every thing they have but wired to the gills
    14. no children no relationships
    15. but big on facebook
    16. Facebook is a favela- the whole thing is going south, no civil rights, you can't make money there,, you live there until they pull the plug
    17. an emergent structure action is cheaper than control
    18. you can't insure it or get title to it -no inspections -it's a slum that you built yourself with play labour
    19. a civilized squat a stuffed animal: a smokestack industry, repurposed
    20. there isn't any other place to go the old new an urban intervention
