Which Future?

I was thinking about Charlies post again and about the changing nature of our culture or time, brought about by new technologies.

Linking back to a previous BLOG where i had thought too often we are stuck within a dualistic framework of existance?

Continuously having to categorise without much thought something as good or bad? On what basis?

i don't think it would be useful at the moment to contemplate this much much farther?
But to link it back to the idea of territories and how my previous BLOG may have had a negative tone towards the 'undermining' of cultural values of the built environment and self...

(this is why i believe everyone has such a strong opinion of nationalist politics? from everyone's point of view their own cultural identity is being erroded, i don't care. But i find it facinating the way people react. who makes the nazi's?)

Bbut which is better? to be territorialised? to be firmly rooted in a culture or to be Unterritorialised? to be on the fringes of society deeply unrooted and not of societies values?

The next video has the embedding feature disabled but it is a really powerful scene from the ending of Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant:
