Did you feel you achieved your Monetary goals? Book sales goals? Connection goals? What was the outcome? Did you Receive work? Receive money? Bask in the fame?
This is not me asking a rhetorical question, if you have answers to these questions and are willing to answer, please do. Comics is a mysterious industry. It is important we know what we are getting into.

A joke/contradiction, now meaning.


 Apparently they stole my moustache.

When the beliefs system based on paradoxes contradictions and whatever is serviceable at the time fades. Why are you left with, it's a thing something to hold until a bouy to be consistent with.

This simple sign of of meaning is to be held onto for the days ahead with what could be on the surface a long term plan or guess.

How is this a gag, entertainment, or a clown show any more. You can't wear a clown suit when it comes to a business dealing. Especially when one has to deliver an audience from one place to another with the platforms holding their arms up and not going to do anything. (I know Couch Gregor, You're not meant to entertain anything other than get paid first, yap yap.)

Yet how is it that Twitch's celebrity endorsements vs understand the impossibility of reverse-engineering virality. You can't magic wand away a mystery.

Humans as Resource : Ponziomics


 


This book.
Well, ignoring the Orwellian normalised speak (Double-think? Double-Talk? Merely call them paradoxes or thought-terminating clichés.), this is honest reporting on a phenomon that is distinctly western.

Infinite opportunity, Endless chain, pay to play, Recruiting Mandate, Bottom-To-Top. Travelling to what a swindle within a salesman of cons and it's hacks. It's merely into the epitome of the specification of entertainment, to the human's as exploitable product, and to be made to follow and dancey jig. Scientific management, into this.

Or resource, managed to be exploited more and more into empty sinks line with perverse incentives, now that's a thought.

Same music, same old jig of the times that were happening to the atheist movement that occurred with this, mlm-fication of certain 'friend' groups of attention deposits. Where the return ain't going anywhere if one ain't treating it like a business.

When Robert takes from eastern figures such as Hannah Arendts again, I don't think I expect much. It's the reporting to apply it within the fields of these bad 'business' models. (It ain't a business model, it's a cult of money going into a black hole, made by dishonest betrayal and the hackneyed 'exscuse' of selling a product.) The Cult masquerading as a Profit-making venture is the negation of the negation in regards to logical success.

That's the reality of what in industry now.

Villainous/antagonist ≠ mesmerism


 Repulsion does not entail Mesmerism, not the fictional kind, anyway. Unless Hypnotism is a kink. Attractive Traits don't lead into positive ones. That's what is made for the tension to occur.

Such as the snake oil it could be, what antagonist force of a goal's want or desire is going to be made clear with the writing of the plot-structure and the character structure. Like with all things made with conflict, there ain't going to be any peace when. 

The anomie be it rising and foreshadowing, not within the anti-plot realm of jumping, static.

Attraction and the non negation really is one piano key being played.
