I feel exactly the same way about White Noise. Read the novel in 1985. Don DeLillo. One of the main characters is a professor of Hitler Studies. They made a film version in 2022.

I can't watch that. It's not exactly amusing, when you remember a time when professor of Hitler Studies made no freakin sense, and it was absurd.

I think this is a valid way to deal with culture. Food crisis? Soylent Green. Maybe think about how we think about each other. We can do better than "food."

That's a classic starting point when thinking about food crises. Humans: not food.
