I think Blake is a representation of 20th century postmodernism. He perceives family as a social construct; they just claimed him for a tax break, but there's no deeper meaning. He's nihilistic and overmedicated. He dates girls with tattoos of the pyramids, an ironic symbol of permanence as he casts them aside. As time goes on, society has moved away from postmodernism, replacing irony with sincerity (the globe is getting warmer all the time), but he's too consumed in meaninglessness to care.
