good synchronisities lately. found Culture of Narcissism browsing my parents old bookcases some months ago, read it eagerly having never heard of Lasch. Suddenly the book is all over reddit and now here. ,ast week was reading about georgism for the first time, thought it sounded cool, and poof...

I can relate to this. I have no idea how to strike that note that's just interesting and then just keep it going. I feel like I'm constantly falling in and out of interesting.

i had this sequence playing out in my head where the board coaxes the timid and fearful version to reveal his secret private manuscript, everyone expecting this measured, gentle account and then it's a complete cesspool of depravity and chauvanism that apalls even luka

that does sound mad!

you can write something for your own sake, version. that's what knausgaard does (i read the first one of 'my struggle' btw). don't even have to show it to anyone.

I'm thinking about writing something. I need a project. Something long term I can work at and get a sense of personal progress from. I'm thinking about starting now while I'm still relatively young and still able to fuel the writing by fantasies of raw hidden talent. I don't think it will be...

the focus on symbols and artifacts, the rituals, performing becoming a ceremonial act

seeing the power in sharing a place in the world, sharing an anger, materializing the power in communal catharsis, a cleansing of sorts

There's something very religious about this music I think. As I said before, in the very defined doctrines of expression. A devoutness. The videos always featuring groups of people dancing in the same staunch manner, a fervent commitment to something communal and holy. It's in the production...

Do you happen to have links to some of these Corpsey? I've only read a few things of your serious institutional writing and it's fun to connect it to your dissensus / real life person.

Time is funky in the zone yes. There is a sense that they're were both at the beginning and the end of the universe. An edenic quality that also distorts the split between man and world. Man-made items have become alien artifacts. Whether of not they possess magical attributes is not anymore the...

I'm planning on reading Peter Osbornes theory about contemporary art that all art since the conceptual turn around the 60's is doomed to a state of reflexive communication/information primacy. Basically the consummation of this conceptual turn performed an ontological mutation of art through...

apperently, when you're depressed, time seems to move too quickly for you. you can't keep up, everything flies by in a hurry leaving you morbidly still. while when manic, it's the opposite. time moves too slow for you. things need to happen faster and faster.

i come here mostly to steal epigrams for some hypothetical novel about a group of dissatisfied young men bonding over music, drugs and pegging strategies

can you cover football if you support a team is the big question

i've also noticed the pro-Trump "tactical" rationale that Biden will only mean going back to what created Trump in the first place and would probably just increase polarization and likely result in a Trump-style republican win in 2024. And that the quickest way to really get out of the mess is...

i never talk to myself, it seems silly

i hope that it doesn't go that far! a nice "dabbling in detachment" rather "descent into madness"
