OK don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting Goggleboxers
are chimpanzees but that after watching a million episodes of Monkey World
humans in their natural habitat are just as curious, joyous, spontaneous,
creative and warm and infinitely captivating. Gogglebox proves you don’t need a
million humans or monkeys, or politicians and TV producers for that matter, to
come up with the complete works of Shakespeare, Miller and Pinter. Each
individual is a fractal of the whole and each Goggleboxer has as firm a grasp
on the whole as any chimp with a banana. In fact the chumps, as opposed to
chimps, are the Nigel Farages of this world driven mad by eating the
postulations embedded in their own faeces. Anarchy is an interesting word. I
have a definition here: “a state of lawlessness and disorder (usually resulting
from a failure of government)” It’s usually interpreted as when a ‘good’
government is overthrown by ‘bad’ anarchists but that’s not necessarily the
case. Anarchy can just as easily be a government that fails to deliver good
governance, in which case the government themselves are the anarchists: Michael
Gove for example. Compared with the clarity of Goggleboxer perceptions the
machinations of our faeces eaters are disturbingly anarchic, en-railed by
postulations digested and excreted so many times as to become their truth and
our future. So long live Gogglebox and Monkey World; they are rare glimpses
into a world free of anarchists.
