pt is being made on the media ( R4 of course). The 500 are brown and penniless and so it is implied as they are silent, are worth less than a handful of billionaires
and so there is a hierarchy of grief. There isnt, it is a social construct - The death of Queen Elizabeth is not more important than the death of one's own muvva.
others say the dead ar dead ( who said "let the dead bury the dead") whereas the titan COULD have been still whole and alive. I regard THAT as a social construct - people made it up to sell newspapers as news.
The beeb (R4) were sucked in, as people said they had to report 'news' ( they could be alive) whereas the real event was obvious ( they are in Davy Jones locker and as dead as can be).
The war in Ukraine suffers from similar defects
( I should say - the reporting of the war in Ukraine.....)
sozza a bit heady for AB at 0900

A rather pitiable little addition to this tragedy I read, was that the 19 year old, - who didn't actually want to go, but only did so for the sake of his father - was that he took with him in his pocket a Rubik's Cube in order to break the record for solving it at such a depth of the sea.
Very human & very sad!

if you find it a bit long.....
joke joke, suitable comment for the end
anyone remember Malcolm Muggeridge, thinker of the 60s?
He opined that Louis Washkansky heart transplant wd not be given the publicity if it had been a black fella.
General loud squawks of disbelief

If it HAD been a black fella, Barnaard would have been accused of experimentation on lab specimens
