briefly, a little more:

two things disrupt well-being.

one: cynicism.
two: hysteria.

these are connected. both involve estrangement & alienation. much else. they transcend red team/blue team.

cynicism is what i encounter most frequently. this is *impiety* of thought.
hysteria i encounter less frequently, but just as painfully: this is *excess* piety of thought, Holy Terror.

neither is a good scene.

wittgenstein: fly out of bottle > fly in bottle.
lacan: sphinx on suicide watch.
dem chinese: tao yo
dem stoics: nature yo

& much else. the psychological conditions of wisdom, the philosophical aspects of therapy - my stuff.

me: not an academic.
me: not fucking *anything.*
me: a neurotic w/a wi-fi connection and a cheap word processor.

that's it. that's the whole shebang. and trying to *recapitulate* all of this, so that i can let it go, and stop thinking, and stop a lot of other shit. because i've seen enough. more than enough. enough for a lifetime.

>wouldn't call a masculine dominated, machine capital where humans are literal meat for the grind well-being
it isn't. it's a fucking goddamn nightmare. but *people do it to themselves.* everything runs on desire, and these desires should teach us about amor fati, enantiodromia, mimesis, much else. *that is the present clusterfuck of the world.* one big immanent cybernetic desire-factory-shitshow or whatever. that is the Capitalism we all know and love and hate to know and love & which is How It Be now.

we need well-being in this b/c every terrorist you see is a guy having an existential crisis. that's why. because the spice must flow.

>nor would I call j-pete's hierarchy of witch hunt reaction well-being.
i believe peterson means well and that his intentions are honest and not prosecutorial. he has balls of steel & is fighting the most unpleasant academic-political battles under the sun. his readings of derrida, foucault, & lacan are silly & uncharitable. we can forgive him this & see the larger picture: *cynicism.*

>so where along the lines is or not ok to ok is your theory fiction pointing?
a story about assassins, insects, time machines, telepathy, bugs, drugs, paranoia, betrayal, deserts, money, and the underworld. an epic adventure within a society of control. a series of confessions & weird conversations between angsty fuckups who think too much. no end of baudrillard. lots of knife fights.

and i don't care. it will sell 25 copies among my family & friends. but it will be there and i will have written it and i will be able to get with Silence again.

silence is where it's at. silence is the thing. To Let The World Be. kojima knew the deal.
