I've always been more of a Beyond the Valley of the Dolls man, myself. It is a cult classic, though.

In the hopes that no one will think about this forever, I will tell you of my delusions of grandeur. There can be no substantial change within the wor...

Go for it! I'm not using them and don't quite believe in intellectual property.
May 27, 2021 at 01:21
You don't have to share your secrets, I guess. Thanks, though!

"A Day in the Life" by The Beatles ??!
May 26, 2021 at 23:43
In my younger days, my way of convincing people of creating a culture that respects personal autonomy and that has a certain degree of care for cultiv...

I will also note that I have, in part, been inspired to conceptualize this because of a dig that Guy Debord made of the ruling class when he talked ab...

Well, thanks. I am just very excited to talk about this idea, but, as I don't think that it has really been put forth before, find it somewhat difficu...

To expostulate on this idea that, perhaps, only I am interested in, I should like to share an anecdote of a rather one-sided conversation that I had w...
May 26, 2021 at 19:16
I just think that it's kind of funny. You can start talking about J.D. Salinger, James Joyce, or Haruki Murakami, but the conversation will inevitably...
May 26, 2021 at 17:01
You can feel free to carry on, but, I just wanted to point out that, somehow, regardless as to how any literary conversation begins, it ends up as a c...

Telepathy - Surf, Dream Pop, and Psychedelia that features an electric mandoviola. The madoviola has a humbucker. The name of the model of the instrum...

You could be right about that, I suppose.
May 26, 2021 at 03:24
Eh, I like a lot of French theory. To each to their own, though, I guess.
May 26, 2021 at 02:42
I think that the historical debate on Postmodernity is mistaken in two regards. If you really wanted to be pessimistic, you should cite the outset of ...

Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a great act and one of the rare examples of the transmutation of Fascist symbolism within the music industry. The last ...

I think that when anyone creates a general critique, it's bound to be somewhat limited. Even Foucault only points to so much of what there is of our g...

I've never read Philip Mirowski, but may decide to look into him someday. What I mean of Friedman is that, because his ideas were as a justification f...
May 25, 2021 at 21:19
I can rest assure you that, things as they stand now, I am willing to let bygones and bygones and just kind of move on with my life now. Aside from th...

Baker, having been inspired by what she doesn't realize is Post-Left Anarchism, is putting forth the rather spurious claim that potential victims of a...
May 25, 2021 at 20:19
Having finally said my peace of the many imaginary parties in my mind, I will say that all is well now. I do plan on leaving, though, as I kind of hav...
May 25, 2021 at 19:39
I was only so with it upon writing that. What I'm saying of The New Sincerity is that it seems to have fallen out of favor because of this idea of "al...
May 25, 2021 at 18:36
The idea in Capitalist Realism is that there is no Capitalist ideology. It's already cynicism. I think that the danger is of a more generalized cynici...
May 25, 2021 at 18:14
Just avoiding them is probably best, I guess. I've moved by now, anyways.
May 25, 2021 at 17:57
I suppose that you're right. To leave them without their cult pathology, order, and forms of control then. I'm just rambling on the internet of people...
May 25, 2021 at 17:45
Anyways, I'll be taking off. So long, everyone! I may chat it up here and there, but will, for the most part, just be taking off. I'll see or hear fro...
May 25, 2021 at 06:59
Let's just put this here so that I can take off. "Strawberry Fields Forever" by Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Quintet ??!

Going to art school is preferable to attempting to land yourself in the New York City underground.
May 25, 2021 at 06:45
There are no connotations to the following statements outside of the social circles in which I am attempting to destroy. Before I leave, I should like...
May 25, 2021 at 06:18
That's what it's about, though. The cover of Daydream Nation features an actual painting by Gerhard Richter and is a better album than "Sister", whose...
May 25, 2021 at 06:14
I don't know. I don't think that I have explained my ideas on the Postmodern condition, though. Consider this. Those heroin users were really running ...
May 25, 2021 at 05:34
I, personally, am a great fan. Curtis embodies the Postmodern condition to a point of deconstructing it well. He's a showman and I want for his show t...
May 25, 2021 at 04:57
The Adam Curtis video that I shared features a song by Kanye West. What I'm suggesting is symptomatic of the Postmodern condition is that "Runaway" is...

They seem to be working now. Okay, so, David Gordon Green wrongfully been accused of bringing an end to The New Sincerity. As the male equivalent of K...

It's fun, y'know? You just have to keep two bookmarks. Bangarang! That's what I'm saying. I'm saying that it's symptomatic of the Postmodern condition...
May 25, 2021 at 03:46
I haven't gotten nearly into Wallace as you have, but very much so appreciate your comment. I also wonder if his commentary doesn't exclusively apply ...
May 25, 2021 at 03:13
I don't know that you give him enough credit. Infinite Jest is a great read if you're willing to do the work for it. There's so much to it. It's been ...
May 25, 2021 at 03:01
Here is a video of David Foster Wallace talking about Infinite Jest.
May 25, 2021 at 01:44
Eh, I'd like to participate, but I must attend to other matters. It's nothing to anyone, though. All is well.
May 25, 2021 at 01:17
I thought that once, too, but they just have a network of influence within the drug trade. They don't really orchestrate it. What I'm saying is that f...
May 25, 2021 at 00:51
I don't know. Maybe it's just me and a certain lack of trust that I have in the world, but I quite often get the feeling like kind of a lot of people ...
May 25, 2021 at 00:10
There's a paradox, I think, to what the original poster has brought up. In order to have patience, you need to be let to have a certain degree of peac...

Some people will just never let Black Tambourine be what they were, which was just a good band. Anyways, I will actually be taking off in so far that ...

Some people don't listen to well reasoned conversation, aside from that, while lawfare does pose a certain predicament, punitive criminal justice is n...

Readers of this may claim that there are other actors within the drug trade, which I would, to some degree, discount. The Provisional Irish Republican...
May 24, 2021 at 21:06
Personally, I'm of the theory that, should law enforcement regulate the drug trade in such a manner to where it is nonviolent and not Fascist, the far...
May 24, 2021 at 20:32
The zealotry with which the American Left pursues the Right can actually get out of hand. The FBI tried to entrap that guy into selling weapons to the...
May 24, 2021 at 20:23
This is true. Having conceptualized a few conspiracy theories, myself, I can say that they were largely born out of an incapacity to cope with precari...
