Isms Under Pressure

when big words meet a small pin

The most dangerous ideas do not arrive as commands. They arrive as offers. As seductions. As what reasonable people allegedly do now. An ism infiltrates our natural common sense — before naming itself.

The isms I have chosen are my reinventions for our age. They share one trait: the relentlessness of their claim to shape our social behaviour. That claim arrives elegantly packaged — as the art of future-oriented consumer sovereignty. You can sense their kinship with the isms of the great ideological wars of the last 70 years — but they are not from there.

These essays give my invented isms a name they did not ask for. My Dada instinct and my Trick & Care compass track them down — what they promise, what they extract, what they obscure.
