Storynomics, the omnic dissection of brand


So when the ways of getting into our eyeballs, for return because it's money, it's always money. Other than the clarity. Robert McKee of course brings his take.

Like it or not, this is a business book, a keep-yourself-in-solvency book, a watch-your-business-or-somebody-else-will-book. The strongest moments at the start, where is comes with the disillusionment of advertising, both as addiction and as deceptive cunning. (Adcreep, Addiction by design, and Attention merchants are more comprehensive in this description.)

Then it comes for advice for branding manager on how to evoke an attention-pulling device of taking the gift of attention, then giving a gift back. For this thing that's forever contested and many-definition thing for profit. Trying to argue to attempt for more humane advertising campaigns, campaigns to get our attention and to talk about its products. Another intake of the escapist stories to storyfying into our cultural consciousness.

Is this growing another hydra of attention mercantilism with our own. It is a crawling of our consumerist undercurrents, to be made into the prosumers into proprietary rent-seeking behaviour? Ownership creep at the very core? (Rhetorically)

Well, we have a challenge to be vigilante with our user-interface design, then.

Useful definition in regarding brand vs authorship, to identity. It's aimed at Cheif marketing officers and reveals such a mindset, with the (er) ai endorsement to the end. That's where it started to peter off.


Syntopic conclusion (Include the amusing ourself to death.)

As the physical law of cost-benefits comes within, so will be the incentive for 'more' with this articulating into our business philosophies and materialistic desires. Business is about turning humanity on, will the science of the cost is about turning those off. All to our capital and basic trading of a profitable trading.

The freelancer can have its uses of primitive branding and calls to action, constructive. Yet with the entrepreneur they will be times when more and more layers of markingtese, expected returns and beauracratic weaving. Ah, the industrial age of workerfying and ownerfying, all to make our systems!

All the markingtese that will still have its credibility due to one metric. For, cost, for benefit.

R.O.I R-E-T-U-R-N O-F I-N-V-E-S-T-M-E-N-T

oh how has it's ad creeped into our social fabrics.

Sleeper hit - Ben Carpenter



Got the email, from 25 years he's been working, a work ethic that's respectable. Giving accurate assessment with endearing swearing is something.

I'm seeing a sleeper hit in the making. It took him twenty-five years of self-publishing on YouTube and Instagram on the internet, riding waves of SEO on the way, then eventually his self-published book has surprised those illiterate commercial publishers. The way they asked with silly ideas within his email was funny enough.

Now there's the paradox of sleeper-hit, if it's good enough to draw the attention of commercial publishers due to his cumulation of benefits, should those profits go somewhere else? Somewhere better?

Hopefully this ain't a Faustian bargain. His salesmanship argument that it will get more organic reach'n growth is, eh, no strings attached?

Let him have the profit.

Like Twenty seven's podcast episode, this hit was a matter of normalization within the culture. Wow, nice to dream of a sleeper hit, yet all the inhibitions within all the way that no megalomania can fathom, Subconsciously even. Even if it may never work.

Scopophobia - Negaphobia


 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0lDtJIlUnc
1:22 hr essay of social horror.

Was my own lack of posting due to social anxiety?

Trying the self-examine why I was a lurker for so long has made obsessed.

Of the many ways to pinpoint a fear of creativity from comfortable hackdom; Two words.

Scopophobia

This can and what makes a lurker a lurker, they're not a concern because there are a thousand things that a passive user may be doing to not publicise himself to the world, and that's okay. The moment he makes a thing a publishes towards the world, he holds a prospective responsibility to those which he can serve or not. To simply serve the idea of "I've made this."

Negaphobia

From the storyomnics book, yet it reflects into certain trends such as 'cozy' horror.

This is from advertising and slice of lives, with minimal conflict and advertising purposes, at this moment though when a conflict happens. The story telling could inflict conflict that could be construed as a 'plot' or an intention sequence of events and character response/reacts to that.

Some audiences want everything to be nice escapist fantasy, yet that could be only an over-promise, so we could go and understand that this problem. As with postiphobia and neaturaphobia!

(Neologised those two phobias there, if you have a phobiaphobia, I understand.)

( Or, Theory time, negaphobia has been developed from mesmerism and animal magnetism, from to self-help trend. )

Tired of being a propagandist

Over the day wishes, thoughts of a reflective subconscious echo within Kyro's mind.


Blumin bells, Proselytising for a group like that, is a tiresome trade.

I'll keep at it, it's going to be at it for all the rocky coalition to the way it's taken, even the ghosts that are

Let them have their ways. How can I handle multiple points of views when I'm the organiser, they are brought to one goal.

Dignity of the worker.

Rest in Peace, Platform holder


 Somebody within one of my branches of my mission has passed as of 7th this month.

Afterthoughts talking about health charity and others have gone through, and even if I did not agree with the policy of such a platform holder, he's a platform holder. Not a publisher, so I'll give him some slack. Because blaming how things grow and prosper organically is like throwing a rock into the wave of the folksnomy.

Thanks again.

(Wow, that fundraiser got raised fast.)
