Oh yeah, I have all the correct opinions. People approve of what I think, deep down.

This is the black rectangle that turns frozen flesh into hot food. This is the black rectangle that turns dots and dashes into pictures and music. This is the black rectangle that turns my inner life into someone else's problem.

What did I say about Kandinsky?

In western politics we have a bunch of vanguards pulling elite persuasion campaigns while waiting for a mass movement to catch up with them. Meanwhile, the masses that would constitute a movement are only willing to do shoe-on-head not-even-wrong stuff.

Remember what Carse says: performatively low status is an anti-title. To play at being below everything, to posit a conspicuous absence, is the same move as playing above everything.

Sometimes the way that grown-ups shout "I'M IN CHARGE I'M IN CHARGE" is by withholding information and shooting down the contributions of everyone around.

If I'm talking to a person and they reference the concept of balance then I stop taking them seriously.

"Balance" is the fakest thing to have ever existed. Complete cope.

Look, folks, there's only one forbidden fruit and only one vengeful Source. Eco socialism needs to get its own metaphysics.

One of my teenage friends liked to do drugs and make art, and one time he took acid and came to the conclusion that his keyboard was going to eat him if he moved.

I think of this when I think of people who live in the materially richest conditions to every exist but use their personal technological marvels to write messages to anonymous strangers that consumption is a curse, that the Earth will righteously kill her children, and that confronting people with this truth will help bring utopia.

The banana discourse is great. It's amazing that there's a large group of people who construe their basic consumption practices through the most catastrophized frame possible. They believe that vehemently expressing this catastrophized judgment is really important to achieving utopia (which is on a 10-50 year timeline BTW). These people can only find each other online -- they obviously have no way to manifest these schizoid stances to their own economic realities in day-to-day life.

What is the word for this stance towards auto-interpretation? It's got something to do with a suspicion of profilicity.

I woke up and thought "I'd like to see Tokyo before IT happens" and I don't have a specific idea of what I meant by "it."
