The concept of dignity in humanity is a strange thing, is not it? Where does this dignity come from? Is it our penthouse view from the food chain? Is it intrinsically imprinted somewhere in our fleshy beings, given us from the personal God? Is it something we individually earn with fists clenched firmly on our muddy bootstraps? Or, perhaps, a pragmatic philosophical abstraction that cannot be explained nearly so much as it is required for social existence–yet, empirically, an illusion?

Whatever mole you decide to whack, you have some explaining to do?

Over the next month (on what will hopefully be a daily basis), I will attempt to construct an experience to be set in the framework of our ideals of human dignity. Said experience will be comprised wholly of music videos, a medium of language that floods our own (post)modern chapter of history. Likely, your gut will churn with embarrassment for the person(s) involved in the production of these works, and, furthermore, you will undoubtedly desire to cease viewing immediately–sometimes before the actual song begins. I urge you, to stay the course, for at stake is the Ductility of the Doctrine of Human Dignity.
