The neatness of neoliberal utilitarianism is that it echoes consumer culture; it flatters the individual that they are in control and are making their own choices, whereas the treadmill of work and consumption is tightly constrained. All that is asked of you is to find happiness - the goal endorsed by consumer culture and now placed centre stage by Cameron. And the feedback loop insists that happiness is perfectly attainable, just within your reach as long as you keep trying to find it. It's a cruel mythology.

Joan Didion, noted woman of letters (and born of California's Central Valley) said that we, "search for the sermon in the suicide." Meaning, we look for the narrative in all things, the story we need to tell ourselves in order to live. We seek this narrative because the idea of "knowing" makes a difference to our experience. We live by the imposition of the narrative upon disparate images, by the ideas with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria that is our actual experience. That is, until the contradictions of everyday life splinter the narrative and leave us to our fate. How long can we hold on to the idea that there is a maudlin greeting card sentiment for each of life's torments?
