slowness

[luka]

great post by me

 

[sus]

bowlers in cricket aways add a slow one to bamboozle the batter

They do this in baseball too yea

you can see also a struggle over the pace of a converastion when two people are talking adverserially and deliberately slowing down a fast paced talker can be a method of control.

it's really funny when you see this happen with volume, it's a power struggle to the death, usually the loud person has no idea they're being loud pretty soon the other person is whispering they're so mismatched each trying to yank the other onto their level

 

[luka]

its just confounding expectations boxing as well

the will self/zizek 'debate' is a great example of these metabolic tussles

when someone won't accept the frame too. it's amazing. I guess I'm thinking back to the Dylan interviews

 

[luka]

first you understand the ways people try and control you, then you develop techniques to counter that

 

[sus]

it's funny how people talk about mind control like it isn't the main thing powerful people are good at. that's why they don't want you to know it's real.

 

[luka]

i agree with that.

i was watching this again and people in the comments like hes bare dumb how can he be a kingpin but he knows crude primitve methods of mind control

the slow one uses the opponents pattern recognition and anticipation against them. they stop reacting to the event and they start reacting to the pattern. so you break the pattern,

 

[luka]

thats why you have to put nice comments in with mean ones on dissensus,

 

[luka]

lets talk. talk faster!

 

[sus]

sorry I'm trying to planning my escape to Europe

 

[luka]

you want to visit me and edmund again? i thought you were pro trump? you surely arent wanting to be a political refugee?

 

[luka]

edmund is in a really bad place at the moment but he will pull himself together if you return. he loves you dearly.

I think this is the key thing yes but there has to be a pattern to subvert it can't just be anarchy, you have to understand the pattern to break it meaningfully. Anyone can break a pattern with randomness but that's not interesting. Which is why people are always at paints to remark how Picasso could do naturalism/perspective perfectly before he went primitive

I keep trying to come to Londy but my bird and cat have needs but yes I was thinking, when does the tourist season pick up again? When are thre customers?

drunken master technique is pure randoness, in theory at least so there is that. if you have studied that seminal jackie chan document.

I really let myself down last time, I froze, I couldn't perform under pressure but that's the whole gig. Don't wait for the muse yank her down spank her til she talks. So it's important that I break this in my self. I can't be a coward forever if I had to live with my performance on the home economics poem. Well I couldn't live with myself
