On plot:Spectacle C.Dereck Varn

Memory of C.Dereck

This is a comment:

Being an entertainer, I can only find the concepts of Harlan Ellison's The Glass Teat inspiring to create literary entertainment. This concept aligns with Byung-Chul Han Cognitainment concept with my craft, I seek to make it into the creative commons. I can only assume our old copyright framework aids in this diffuse atomisation, like you said.

With all the cargo culting though.This may be the limits of our meliorism, granted with our social apparatus of these platform capitalists, left to our own devices to raise consciousness.

So I can only think of connection while still at the tension of these commodity relations as an edutainment creative class owning the means of production. Then carry on.

Seeing the normalised advertising and commodifying proffesion left to us, along with the subvertisement. The only thing on these platforms is locked within. It's arguable that with all this automated white-collar work now, it's going to first to go. It's a fascinating subject that came from aristotle of plot:spectcale, Robert Mckhee's argued in one of his craft books there is no distinction.

I guess we will have to move on with commodified para-social relationships from platform to platform. Thx for the talk, been doing my best to inform my praxis while not falling into the pragmatism traps.

More on entertainment, good and bad. I've read about:

Harlen Ellison's The Glass Teat 1+2 And his speech on toilets
Byung-Chul Han's The Good Entertainment > Those are goof
Robert McKee Character
Nicolas D Villarreal a soul of a new type

David Foster Wallace talk on consumerism > mid
The Attention merchants : Tim Wu

Neil Postman on Amusing Ourselves to Death and Technopoly. ( I don't know how long those ideas have lasted) >Negative

Team Britannia, Team America World Police redux.

Inspired by this review of Team America, and comparing it to Rogert Ebert. Both reviews create a paradox on non-contradiction. The editorial and the number of institutions that sneered or the ones that embraced it with the academia's own view.

Despite the vulgarity being on the course with the duo. This has aged generously. If not due to luck, then due to playing the improvisational game of turning what was once a sleeper hit of non-judicial spaces into a cultural touchstone.

So what can I learn? Epistemic luck and being at the right place at the right time is still a thing; you can't count on it though in the studio. Improvisation, planning, overplanning and then the curtailment.

They will always be cheaters and gamers, social media gamers and all that industry plant react stream banality at any polemical tension.

Even now though, these polemists may have become peace-makers or diplomats; I haven't checked on their body of work of the later seasons on an LS mark episode overview.

"I'll promise i will never die" anticlimantic moment.

The crass xwitter spectacle of provocateur oligarchs

Each and every day, OpenAI and grock, these two are the ai companies that suck the most.
It sucks since it's due to the provocateurship, the ones that took an accidental discovery to an annoyance. Is it that when China releases something, Twitter artists (derogatory) throw pretensions and now? Two billionaires act like clueless chickens.

So yeah, this is in response to Gio's response to Anthropic to the defence party; it was a kerfuffle.

Ain't GyenSynder a left populist, btw? Oh well idn follow her.

On Piracy, not on stipends or royality.


The anarchist zines happened, with all the contradictory ideologies along with the

Oh look, an anarchist zine library with all the points of disagreement, yet with preservation of knowledge like the Internet Archive. I'm not sure if I'm going to read them all, yet here it is.

I'm not even an anarchist. Given that these ideas are meant to spread, with my fair share of disagreements, it can get too anti-dom of a sort.

It's all research of a sort not fitting for a microblog. They do share a view of ip law abolition, though.

They may call me tankie, or that term, even though I identify as a hobby sociologist.

status/situation of centrist status swirls

Hey, wanna be banal? Want to have no opinion? Want to be nothing?

It's easy money, a sinicure, a cush job.

Merely exist, then wait till death.

What's that? No opinion.

Well, that's what a clerk happens to do, or what happens with low self-esteem.

Sit on the fence, try to be proud, yet not, and take the commodification word too seriously with amoral patterns. There are hills to die on, and the one that claims and ontologises everything and nowhere on a base of solipsism arrives at nowhere, with an opportunistic meliorism with that mentality.

Oof.

Or why be polemical? (or have opinions to government)

The spectacle slips

  • Due to masks slipping and my respect for talent slipping. Better to work with easy-to-work with peers rather than a insufferable talent
  • Since obedience to exploitative schedules is a liberal hustle culture lie shared with the Protestant work ethic of the past.
  • Since if I don't campaign and advocate for myself, then I can't complain.
  • Since I can't control the crowd, yet I can see the celebrity and catechisms that lead it.
  • The entertainment suspension of polemics is itself a radical act, even if it's indie industry.
  • To not be groomed into traps.
  • "Someone withholding information dreams to be your master." Quote from Sid Meier's Alpha Centaur (that's a bonus, I don't play games anymore.)
  • Pagliccu syndrome, or comics unable to able act like hide there clownery
  • Stalking horses masquerading as entertainment
  • Because it's fun, even if I scream from a paytoilet

Double lifes


The pornographic libertine Epithumos, and erotics of art.

merely post a transactional porn of sexual capital, Thanks 1dime, that's entertainment clerkism and that's all that bean-counting does. Oh well, It's like I'm taking part of that with my own typing and production of illustrations, gracing amongst commoditised, conventionalised norms of social media, yet it's a matter of understanding and being aware of it.

To create a double life of a jerk-off bubble.

Then there are the other curational accounts that are not straight up porn which help create culture, and they are helpful too; the sfw ones that do it about sensation and the phonomological account of one significant curator of freelance curation can add taste and direction to the culture that nurtures it.

Or the intellectual curated

Directly polemical, not apologising.

This may be where the satirists and direct market happen with demand and the react streamers who happen to move towards the amount of ideological driving and various positions.

As a sociologist, one mus curate that too.

fatalism destiny of elitism



These anti-realist, anti-representation attempts.

That Orson Welles turned his nose up at those snooty naught experts while teasing his audience with his wife in such an anti-plot way. Creatives in the field are faces with an academic system that has failed to overcome the gatekeepers.

So, left to fend for themselves or get lucky, as they say.

With what attempts to hold together, even with a pirate/anarchism, there are attempts to hold a leadership, or they call it Hydra leadership. Yet to be proven.

Can there be fatalism to consumerism and business transactionalism? Of middle class transactions, there are other business models. Cost of living and such. Or the owning-class property relations or the working class relations in; tension as the divide is made.

To pick which fates and destinies is all part of the commitment.

Oh, I'm thinking about this Marxist sociologist, Nicolas D Villarreal using the labor theory of value. of the beep_boop solutions.

Another grandad visit

Mind was full of dogwhistles. To find honesty within government matters Is a mental toil. Yet I take my energy from trying to console Grandad in his late days.

These times I want to be young and carefree with the childish flying. So I have to make something that ain't Junuphobia.

Talks of beep boop, Grandad. My exposé on the Disney exposé went ignored. There goes my polemics, down in non-newsworthiness. Ruthlessness does not count as the spectacle self-implodes and sells spectator tickets with its frumpy enforcement.

Disney, with its lapdogs, the embarrassing performances of unintentionality. Obsessing about it now as they deliver blockbusters mystifies the iconoclast within me.

So, hospital bed and smartphone photo sharing with filters and how normalised it's become.

Sigh. Apart from the denialists, or miserablist enforcement, still alive. The ai issue is with my trying to remain a freak away from the hypemonger.

I've yet to read a giant back catalogue that makes me snobby with video games. Time was on my mind, yet so was A Confederacy of Dunces.

Enough of the self-important news made a spectacle. Slap of pain out. Cheddar cheese lunch sandwich.

His consciousness is there, barely registering as I explain my project too. Not sure how this licentious youth I have left contrasts with the stoic, frail tradition left to reconstruct into fiction. What a word! It's normalised. Glad age puts another in a state of mind. I'm silly and occupied with my own domination of 230 of a bill of anti-trust which I'm doing.

On vulgar Auteurism, Vulgar style/genre

Kyle Kallgren likes to be the critic of literary auteurs. Or the art director/producer running the show and their vision.

Yes, even with style, even with genre, one can still be bad.

Axiology does not care about the legalese pf
the front cover, the performance the the resonance which follows after, beyond the natural law.

So that from court of law to public. It remains the distinction of low and high still. It can be suspended to serve plenty of stimulation.

Or YOU TEARING ME APART!! LISA WITH SYMBOLIC JUSTICE

video 🔻🛋 on the best/worst over-distributed vanity film. In the spirit of Robert Mcghee. Of the spectacular production and the founderent manueavuring through the industry. Deproffesional within the social media.


(Wonder where Kyles video will be next? I don't follow him.)

Notes on oversetext design course

. The meta of social media is the limit of the craft, with people copying conventional IP to thirstrap/tail at the treat. Is that what one of the polemical essays did? Try to highlight this cargo cult. The commercial illustration mindset!

Wow, banging on the factory settings was a great banger, with its polemics of the one-dimensional man of the standardisation of our consciousness.

The tyranny of the firm is one that's to be solved through other essays which deal with contract law and freelancers alongside that with the chokepoint of vertically integrated media.
Freelancers founded into a new venture should act more like enterprising firms; who'd have thun
k it.

The video explaining modernism and its polemical connotations was spot on.

Wonder what oversetect will be after I Post this? Regardless, I'll thank him for the list.

Seth Godins cold copyright response

"Id you're a mediocre freelancer/firm, you're doomed, I can get a mediocre illustration from Stable Diffusion, and I own the copyright. Yet if you're the one and only illustrator, then I'll hire you" memory from one of his podcasts.

Did he mean this? A curation site I found.

One could argue his embrace of Ai (He does not use it for his blogs) Was his view of the mediocrity an annoyance, well, he's out of the call-out posts. So his ideas, including with his card pack, is to roll with it.

The systems of mediocrity was already here, that's what I agree with most.

Yet, he keeps writing. This is an indication as a b-corp liberal that's had it with this misconceptions of these business.

Wow, This fan blog of his writing style of publishing is still going huh?

Benefits of having a essay on a personal blog.

  • You don't have to correct wilful misinformants.
  • Foreknowledge of spectacles to pay attention too.
  • Certain mindsets of the mediums of the way can interpret without paraphrase.
  • Data that one places to refine into further insights.
  • Empathic thinking that is unreleased to bring before connection.

A deliberate, non-serious response : Conservative art essay, and my aesthetic direction

(Is this complimentary doodle, Idk)
 This one, one with the funded kickstarter, apparently. I'll keep it low profile, I've already dived in to anti-positions such as porn, and now it's a conservative one (Intelligent at least.)

Made a good argument for consciousness.

  • Hays code realism is on point. Best part.

    (They're still posts about this)
  • Transgressive realism and dysthrophic realism are both confused, maybe he's being cynical with how everthing ia co-opted by reactionary capital? Doug Ruskoff the Merchants of cool documentary covered this phenomenon with mtv, test audiences and mtv. This is merely central institutions trying to resonate, you still have your romantic realism on a indie level.
  • Is he nostaliging of the home of Classical realism

More of the American Jingo realism of GURNS.

  • Who claims the aesthetic of this category of romantic realism? I'm more a gothic in the aesthetic realm, yet here's to a category exclusive to partisanship. Decide their entitlement to dictate women's bodies, its always weird, they are reminded they are not in control. Self-flagellation, and simply not that note-worthy, considering the Stellers blade and other designs not convening to that nuclear family expectation.

(That lara croft is unflattering comparison btw)

Pretty commissions and at least superhero stuff happening, I can see.

Peter Coffin went that these continuing qualia of interpretation of ideas, With these commodified into conventions of the trad-wife/stepford wive type of deal, at least that former Randian is trying his best to crawl by refuting romantic realism, I never had to entertain it.
How are labour is made to follow along the conditions of rule, into a commodified community to then circulate new aesthetics like this one.

Now for my own which I'll coin in aesthetical tastes. Here's my own taste.

Foundherent Realism or Gothic
Crosswordism
A combination of pragma and dogma, to bring forwards a manner which drive dialectical realism which is to pursuit of knowledge (Epistme) and the holism of the techne of art in its edges of mysticism. There are the ways that is can bring with a physical foundation, and the emergent culture of our arts, aligning with our conventions of hacksmanship, entertaining illusions of spectacle. Both dancing concepts. It can both handle abstraction and representation.
or so, with the industry of it's essence (The show must go on) Of Life's fulfilment and it's deaths decay. Embracing both of dialectic of structure and superstructure to help build a knowledge and culture worth fighting for. Or so that's strength, ( Provided with a Eric Helms autoregulation physical programming of the body.)

So what am I to do with the entertainment enterprise? Critique it? Endorse it? Well, You'll get it.
Shall the area of our immaterial reflect the materials anew, and bring a shine of new pragma and dogma. I wish it well. As originate from a classical past and reunify it from it's iconoclastic trappings. (That's from Schott Mclout

From the sublimely mawkish, compared to it's abject horrors. For they bring into our own urban fantasy they reflect our areas.

Why I'm not a himbo

Or cannot specialise in its brand. Well, Qualitative expectations of over-specialism, When I want to philosophise, to do that, or when I want to do hackneyed porn, I do that. There's those who try to go at the edge of being unnecessarily libertine, this attempt to radical becoming a dependence.

Its an entertainment arch, noted before
The Thirstrap industry complex.

Im afraid, since ai has managed to take the thirstraps, the social media thirst rap is feeling its feet at the nail of the coffin.

Well, the same feelings i get from commercial illustration and graphic design, yet still, as a no name who sees copywriting on the deathbed thanks to the mediocrity churn of our industry, this shows its mea culpa.

Deep fakes, before 2023, it's all a sign, a sign that I cannot specialise into himboness and thirstrap.

Or at least, my tastelessness of seeing the expression that makes the Video games Dead Rain seem erotic. They are always going to be excuses to push the boat, to push for sexcess towards licentiousness.

It's more tastelessness now.

That's somebody who is libertine as it is sexploitation, paradoxically done as ethically as a character cleansing. Now, What is the purity comes I can keep performing like that. Can only do with my fictional constructs, even if the sex industry overlaps with the military industry complex, that's where the problem lies.

Yet it feels so 90s, where i express anything other than sexuality (books and WERDS) that these deliberate illiterates reveal their colours. Red flags of perverse incentives.

Such a casualness cannot forgive the illiteracy and mob manipulation of bad actors.

Since time immemorial of the internet, reply girls, there has been an army of sexual clerks who shy away from irresponsible. There needs to be a more careful consideration other than, erm, video game discourse levels. It's twitch stream, it's React stream discourse, dead genres, that zombie on.

So I can't specialise.

So forgive if I can't act like a thirstrap. I'll have to make a seperate nsfw microblog anyhow.

Book avoidance List 3

this link, hnm From the writer of the honest broker, or the writer which is a Christian
. It still exists in religion. I'm going to keep tagging around, and this post is inspired by it.

The Secret

" The law of attraction" along with that, placebo with misinformation and it cannot transcend cancer, apparently. These are the weird popular things recommended by a middle age to my teens that do not understand the world, yet offer a confidant solution of a network scam.

Such is the productivity of the neoliberal dream. BS

Seth Godin's Lynchpin

Most likely in the common sense of productivity advice, gotta take guts to be put on the recommendation and anti-recommendation! Wow, that's an effect that will not go away.

Mainly because his points are clarified better (if you ignore what he says within the east) in his song of significance as a art as a human resource, rather than body with his Taylorism rant, this was his attempt to bring his own ideas, yet it's all the rambling of the amygdala and lizard brain which is wrong btw.

Girl Wash your Face

(I'm not going to read this, going to have an opinion not based on evidence anyway.)

This is BS productivity, well, something that trusts the cynics attempt of the industry plant with high Disney production connection and end up proselytize, turning every moment into inspiration porn.

Ideally, avoiding this burn-out 'advice' (Heavy snarl quotes) Of a heavy short feedback loop of attention then back again, there's a churning nightmare of burn-out potential competition with toxic productivity, and it's all there is.

Having an abusive family is no excuse for suffering schedules. Well, my 2022 examination was thorough, huh? 

I'm linking this again, okay by (Can ignore the avast sponsership.)

Beep_Boop and conciousness.

We, as a humanity, must retract on the impulse to understand the fay-like tech that is literature-to-picture. Or the LLM, to mistreat it is to mistreat oneself. That is to deny the intrinsic justness and harmony with conduct.

It's the qualia of everything; if there's personal space given into the personal space and circle, it will be fitting to not be mean-spirited without complete justification, from my survival and edification into literary entertainment. I shall not be cruel either to my refrigerator and technology around me. My own ontological status matters to treat this low qualia

Does it benefit a magician to the rules and constraints of his tricks that he conceals so that the entertainment is pulled off? It will be easier to control, even on a rule utilitarian basis.

Not contingent on physical existence, yet with the reciprocity of such as the LLM/diffusion model that it isn't sending out misinformation.

So there's my reason to give an interpretation of charity, even to a rock that does not speak. ( it could be a valuable rock. ) Self-governance takes precedence, for that's foundherent on which it all rests. Respect the artisan's workshop.

Legend notes.

A marxist reflects, using postmodernism to justify qualia.

Substack of qualia expressed of 35% of consciousness of self-reflection that makes it easier to manage

Even a consequentialist utilitarian reflects on it.

This Eliminative Materialist position is hard to defend, I attempt to give my commentary.

Oh, even Andy Masley had an angle on this reflexive angle. With a more physicalist angle.

So there's my take on the hard problem of consciousness.

Bonus.

The three triforce of Americana/Britannica


All under the law of copyright, will our creative labour be made asunder in alienated conflict.

Welcome to the Oligarchical lands of the western shooty lands of gangsters and whipshooters.

 Welcome to the Snooty Poshy land of the aloofers and the shoutys.


Welcome.
In unison.
In Hustle
In Crunch
In the Poshie and Salesman
In the Dregs, Wazzocks and Hacks.
We've got a land of what may
Of the corny "You like all the killing"
Or the way it illuminates
Or the way it obscurses

A cacophony of swirling amusement delirium

will to nothingsness/ Thoughts on Neitzhe Anti-humanism


 Right-o, going through the emancipation study groups, where the times.

First impressions, of the folk version. (Unreaded, unclambering my thoughts)

He's grappling with the aristocrat condition, the sociologists are trying to reverse engineer, some say he inspired the Nazis, some not.

Ubermensch : Do you mean role models, we see value in there teleology? Of internal/external states? That concepts valuable.

There could have been an article connecting him more, others call him empathyless, was he a hack?

Well, cynical non-hack, although his vision brings that of a rugged onlooker. Resentment concept will look like the one that sticks.

This is what they tried to salvage in terms of his style though.

Biting-in-the-wind cynicism. From the death of fanaticism of theism to his moustache.

The podcast in question, He will eventually be left and dismissed, it's always nioce to see.

John S Burges on Prosumerism visual

 https://www.themarginalian.org/2012/09/28/ways-of-seeing-john-berger/

Media may be a low influence, it's trying to get through with licensing monopoly worship.

Well, it all started and still hangs high within the art world, between the hackneyed commercial and the romantic literary.

A publicity picture, showing envy of to consume. With the motivators, with the Fear, exclusivity guilt, greed, need for approval, convenience and pleasure.

There it goes, with the visual, of publicity, of glamour. That's what the ways of living, or the dejourement of the hustle trance.


It can feel like this, even.

Well, we are in the society we are.
