We'll die, and the world will be an uglier place. That's my social/aesthetic prediction.

Next week you should go to the ballet and listen to the dancers thump as they hit the floor.

(when I was young I was outraged to find that they weren't actually weightless)

Hm, Valentin. Your prediction seems a little... specific. Could you broaden somewhat?

LM - you mean ballet dancers weigh something???

Ah, that was just some general silliness on my part. But come to think of it, I'm at pains to predict anything here. And I thought about this before. What part of today's mass culture could end elite? Yours is a good try - about Lost - but still, the DVD is several million copies, accessible to anyone, how could you possibly make that elite? You pose an interesting question to which I can't figure an answer.

Oh, no, I really appreciate your reponse, Valentin, I was just being silly too.

It's true, how could TV or DVDs ever be elite? The technology would have to die out on a mass level and then somehow be available to only a few.

I guess that's where live performance and one-off objects kinda take the elitism cake!

How about in Russian examples?
