Michael Moorcock, of "Elric" fame (et al), used to write lyrics for Hawkwind, as well as perform with them.
"Chronicle Of The Black Sword", in which he appears frequently, used to be on YouTube in one piece.

We need a good, highly publicized 4chan shooter so the site feels heat and polices better. A simple and easy fix would be to ban all political discussion. No exceptions and no sneaking around by using Les Miserables (French Revolutions) or something to discuss current day politics. And ban all “books for….” threads. Those threads are just a call to shitpost about the topic at hand. They are never lit related. Those 2 simple rules being enforced by active jannies and mods would make the board much better. To go even further, make a philosophy board and a religion board. The latter should have happened years ago

I've been having a tough time lately. I don't really fit in at my workplace and don't really have a social life outside of work. I guess I never really figured out how to connect with people properly when I was younger.
I went home for a little bit and now I'm about to leave again and I'm realizing that I never really fit in with my family either, and that even though they love me I was really just a burden to them most of the time. They're way happier now that I've moved out.
I'm struggling to find a sense of purpose in my life. It doesn't really seem to matter how much money I make or where I go in life since at the end of the day I come home to an empty house and sleep alone. Sometimes I feel like some kind of alien creature squeezed into a human body as I try to navigate social situations, or that there's some 6th sense that others were born with but that I don't have. It would be nice if I could go full autist mode and just forget about other people completely in favor of my own hobbies and interests, but instead I just feel crushingly lonely and afraid to keep living in a world I don't really understand.

Do you mind if I pick you brain since this is very relevant to my own interests. I make documentaries and video essays. I often have to catalogue lots of sounds and videos and imagery. So I can think "I need to follow this shot with something", and I need something which has the narrative or metaphorical relevance to the preceding and following shots or to the voice over; but it also needs the right framing, movement. Searching for that becomes a problem even if properly tagged and catalogued.
I need a optimal system for tagging and cataloguing and searching.
What does this have to do with your interests? Aside from the obvious fact that you could catalogue footage and sound in a "negative questions" entropic decision tree, there's also the literal entropy of the video and sound files themselves, the more 'noisy' they are the more entropic the data. The narrative content is related to behavioral psychology. And when I edit together dialogue, I make create 'frankenstein sentences' so there's natural language processing. Network Engineering, well what if I decide to set up a raid set up, or if I collaborate with another editor remotely. But even metaphorically you can think of each shot and each cut and edit as a different agent in a network, for which meaning is created one cut at a time.
Any thoughts, however abstract, from your broad readings on the topic?

Not really sure whether it's relevant but as far as documentaries are concerned, I doubt that there is any "optimal" way to represent the tags (isn't it more of a personal style?). You have the individual components, and you weave them together in some form of syntax (structure, timings etc) to convey something. Obviously these components can bring up different things depending on why, when or how they are being used. A closeup photo of a pitbull means nothing if you don't provide the context to back it up (to entertain? to illustrate a concept? is it feral? etc). If you ask me, I'd categorize them based on their most apparent qualities (closeup, pitbull, dog, animal) instead of trying to streamline the process.

Yeah that's pretty much it.
> I'd categorize them based on their most apparent qualities (closeup, pitbull, dog, animal) instead of trying to streamline the process.
See what I think is the most apparent quality on the day of igenstion or tagging may not be how I remember it, more importantly all those switches of context that can only come from juxtaposition or combination may only become apparent in the process. The other thing is, let's say I have three close ups of a pitbull, all very similar - how do I distinguish between them? "turns left" "doesn't move"?
Maybe I've got it wrong, but wasn't I.J. Good's whole thing about Information Theory that there was more 'information' in low probability/entropic events. So if anything you should tag by secondary characteristics, because that will promote more happy accidents. But, you also risk wasting more time 'searching'. The other thing is, let's say I'm making a film about pitbulls, if there's 1000 pieces of footage, 900 might have pitbulls in them... how do I reduce the search time, even if I'm not trying to be creative?
And what about frankenstein sentences.
The standard thing is to work from a transcript and time-code where you might have a physical print-out of the interview or audio, and you highlight key quotes. Now often it's possible to take two sentences a minute a part, and because the microphone placement, the tone of voice, the emotion is all similar you can marry them into one single sentence and remove the extraneous stuff in between. Any other thoughts on this?

Oh and the other thing is, and this is more pronounced in documentary than scripted drama and comedy. You might have a long piece of footage, say 5 minutes, let's say the camera man has panned across from a limbo, to Chris Hemsworth stepping out of it, to a protestor tripping over the velvet rope, to a security guard escorting them away. It's also shot on a zoom lens, the framing, the exposure, the movement is constantly changing as the situation changes. What I effectively have isn't one 'shot' but three or even five contiguous shots. How do I catalogue that? I don't know if I'll need the protestor at all, I can't be sure at this point if Chris Hemsworth or the Protester is more important. Hell, for the sake of argument, let's say I don't know if the security guard is the important part (in documentary you often have these situations) - how catalogue?

Loneliness can be pretty painful. There's a good moment in The Silence Of The Lambs (the novel, not the silly film) when Starling is trying to see Lecter and Chiltern, the head of the hospital, doesn't want to let her. She eventually gets her way with a little feminine ruthlessness...


---


He looked at each item in the claque of certificates and diplomas on the walls behind his desk as though he were conducting a poll. Now a slow turn to Starling. “Do you really feel you know what you’re doing?”

“Sure I do.” Lot of “do’s” there. Starling’s legs were shaky from too much exercise. She didn’t want to fight with Chilton. She had to have something left when she got to Lecter.

“What you’re doing is coming into my hospital to conduct an interview and refusing to share information with me.”

“I’m acting on my instructions, Dr. Chilton. I have the U.S. Attorney’s night number here. Now please, either discuss it with him or let me do my job.”

“I’m not a turnkey here, Miss Starling. I don’t come running down here at night just to let people in and out. I had a ticket to *Holiday on Ice*.”

He realized he’d said *a ticket*. In that instant Starling saw his life, and he knew it.

She saw his bleak refrigerator, the crumbs on the TV tray where he ate alone, the still piles his things stayed in for months until he moved them — she felt the ache of his whole yellow-smiling Sen-Sen lonesome life — and switchblade-quick she knew not to spare him, not to talk on or look away. She stared into his face, and with the smallest tilt of her head, she gave him her good looks and bored her knowledge in, speared him with it, knowing he couldn’t stand for the conversation to go on.

He sent her with an orderly named Alonzo.

What if we still allow prostitution, but we put only one single rule on it: only virgins and people who otherwise would have no hope of getting laid are the only people who can use them.
If you're married. It's a crime. If you have had a girlfriend. Still a crime.
Are you relegated to a wheelchair and have no possible hope of ever getting laid unless you luck into the one girl who has a codependent enabler fetish? You're free to go sir.
Are you 18 and a khv, well we need proof of that. You have to basically have a card that all your bros will see that shows you're a virgin.
Now the flip side of this is, how does this change prostitution? Well you think it's degrading and debasing now. Imagine if the only customers of prostitutes are the untouchables, the least attractive, the most desperate. Not even rich guys who want to pay for weird shit. No. Just the worst of the worst. But they are also doing a favour, they are enabling these people to feel love and a special sensual joy that has been cruelly taken away from them through no fault of their own.
I'm interested to hear what anons think, because some trad anons will be like "no, it's still immoral". But I imagine some mysogonistibro will be like "haha, women suffering, based" but others will be like "nooo... I want to pay for sex". Feminists will hate it because now it's no longer this empowering girlboss shit. But on the other hand some actual progressives will be like "this makes it no longer problematic, it's almost charitable, they're doing a good service."
Yeah. I dunno.

That was basically as close to an answer on the subject Kant could come up with too. Swedenborg is pretty well known in pop culture because of the church and lots of fiction writers and New Latin geeks using him on Goethe's recommendation, and lots of readers finding out about him because he's Stephen King's answer to the Cthulhu mythos. I don't know how often he comes up in Kant threads if that's where you're looking. It's the kind of book by Kant you'd read if you cared about Swedenborg, but I don't think many people interested in Kant are that into Swedenborg.

I’m not too interested in Kant desu. Swedenborg’s star seems to have faded in recent times. I’ve only read a couple books by King years ago so I’ve never seen any references by him. Emerson chose him as one of his representatives of great men alongside Plato, Shakespeare, Goethe, Napoleon and Montaigne. Swedenborg seems like a definite outlier there. If I had to believe a mystic, it would probably be him. His fire story seems at least somewhat true. I would read one of his books, but his most popular is the one where he meets angels? That’s a little too out there for me. I do like some of his ideas from what I’ve read second hand though

It's probably also a function of languages. Fewer people read all those in the original, while back then New Latin was the scientific language, so writing a mystic poem in it was kind of like Ulysses: whether you could tell if it was good or true didn't affect whether it was a big deal and everyone was going to have to discuss which rules you're licenced to break in arts and sciences to demonstrate their education. It's the same reason you don't have people reminiscing over Greek or Latin word construction unless they're into scientific naming anymore, because it's not part of university requirements anymore. Newton and Swedenborg were around the point that kind of education was starting to turn, and questions about who can publish what en masse were about to become a big deal as printing presses were springing everywhere. By the next century people are very distressed plebs can read newspapers about them.

My trouble finding a steady girlfriend is driving me insane.

This thread won't believe me and will think I am lying, but I am actually pretty good-looking. I have a good voice. I work out, and though I wish I were slimmer I'm very far from fat. I am pretty good in conversation. I dress well.

I seem to be checking off all the superficial boxes but it's not leading me anywhere. I haven't had a date in months and I haven't had a girlfriend since well before the pandemic. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

The only thing I can possibly think of is that I can come across as a little intense. Someone has told me that before. I'm very passionate and this bleeds into the way I speak and the way I act. I'm actually a poet and a writer, so it's not surprising. But I wonder if it is turning women off.

If you're a cerebrotonic autist who says off the beaten path shit (like "cerebrotonic autist") that people don't often hear in their day to day, today's normies will perceive you the way the normies of 20+ years ago would perceive a level 100 insane clown man from outer space. Your post is introspective, it's "deliberate" and engages with your interiority in a way that most average people simply don't do or recognize anymore.

You would be considered mildly unusual a generation ago, people would pick up on the fact that you are "methodical," that you like to think and talk things out, and there would be a certain charm in this, it would have a meaningful place in whatever larger personality archetype you embody. Now that degree of idiosyncrasy is simply offensive to normies. They don't really make an effort to scan the social field and see what differentiated human archetypes are out there, because they only recognize one archetype, their own. They only feel comfortable on dating apps having conversation like this
>Did you go
>Lol nice
>LOL really?
>Ya
>Lolll
>Ikr
>Lol ya
You are a cerebrotonic autist so you probably think this conversation is a layer of signification removed from the real layer it really signifies, but it's not, that's actually what the inside of their minds look like now. Remember, average people always tend downward. Whatever they are "resting on" as their daily bread and butter, they will form to it and take on its shape. Their bread and butter is texting and dating app type conversations.

If you're coming into that two-dimensional milieu as Mr. Cerebrotonic Autist, you're probably doing all of the following within your first few dating app messages:
>using words they don't see often or immediately understand (this causes slight pain that you have converted into pleasure, as novelty and variety, but for them it's just irritation)
>using too many words
>saying too many "things" within the same message or same cluster of messages (a joke combined with a reference to something they said, a graceful segue you think is polite but is actually just complicating things further for them, an idea more complex than "Lolll no way. So wat u doin rn" or "Ok")
You are probably getting a bottlenecked selection of women who are interested in you because they like that you're different from "Lol ikr. So u like food?" type guys. You being a cerebrotonic autist who thinks other people have fully three-dimensional minds then mistake their interest for the kind of interest you yourself would take in someone, so you share more of your difference with them. But on their end it's like the spice they were slightly interested in because they couldn't identify it has now been dumped all over their food. You then try to recover from the slow death of the chemistry between you two by applying the full might of your cerebrotonic intensity, interiority, and willingness to think and talk things out to it, which they see as a clown exploding.

not him, but one of the things I have been pondering on lately is why the fuck higher IQ is directly and provenly correlated with less sex, with every IQ point above 100 driving down the chance of sex before the end of school down by fucking 3%. Common explanations like lower testosterone in men with iq above 130 were not really satisfying to me.

The pain you talk about with unfamiliar words is a really hot candidate. Unfamiliarity causes a pain, that much is true. Someone with a higher IQ ususally has a much larger vocabulary. Also women are dumber than men, and have a much more flat iq curve. Outliers above 115 or below 85 are much rarer. The effect of less sex with more iq is only half as strong for women. If the IQ difference leads to aversion through unfamiliarity, then women would be hit less hard as for the few 130 IQ women out there there are still enough 125+ IQ aspies to fuck, while the situation is dire vice versa.

I told her that I loved her and that I'd realized that I wanted to be with her for as long as I could foresee. That she made me feel complete, that I wasn't with her because she was "hot"(the girl is obsessed with being sexually attractive, it shows in the way she dresses, the fucking make-up she wears and the kind of attention she courts, it's how she keeps a guy to fend off that fucking hole inside of her) or for sex but because she made me feel more complete. I told her that I wanted to dedicate myself to her, to us, that I was willing to work as hard as possible to make it happen. That I did not want to change her, I did not want to "save her", that I had no fantasies or illusions about how she is and that I understood her - an understanding I had built over months of breaking down her walls and dissolving the games she plays to protect herself to get as close to her as I could. That I did not judge her, that she could feel however she felt, be however she was, want whatever she wanted and my love wouldn't go away. That she didn't have to deny herself around me, that I just wanted to be along for the ride, that I wanted to experience and appreciate her for as long as I could. That I wanted to love her and it just fucking cracked her. The girl is so fucking damaged that trying to love her sent her into a pure fucking panic and she ran away from me as fast as she could.

Okay, then, how do I know I want to go deep into the Schopenhauer or Swedenborg rabbit holes?
Curious tangent, my only knowledge of Swedenborg comes from my attempts to find the origin of the Law of Attraction. It's interesting to see how it slowly made the change from Christian Scientists like Phineas Parkhurst Quimby and Warren Felt Evans who directly reference their idiosyncratic ideas about Plato and Swedenborg, then eventually after Prentice Mulford makes it all about YOU and YOUR will attract the spirits that YOU desire it slowly becomes the yas kween gurlboss woo woo witch vaginapower stuff we know from the Secret.
I know that has nothing to do with Swedenborg, but it's interesting to see the 'memetic evolution' of things.

Thanks man. It's not really that hard to learn the technical stuff. Small fstop bright and blurry, big number dark and sharp. Long lens intimate and compressed, wide lens detatched and sometimes perspectivey. high iso grainy and bright. low iso smooth and dark.
>(let alone find myself in places with interesting things to film).
That's the hardest part. It's why I've tried to learn how to do compositing. I figure one day what I'll be able to do is create little Grand Hotel Budapest-looking fake-miniatures and greenscreen in shit. Saves me having to actually go out of the house and film shit.
But on the other hand I'm more attracted to the visual qualities of film, I'd love to do stuff like F for Fake, San Soliel, or Varda's Daguerreotypes. But as you say, finding interesting people to film is hard.

I think I'm starting to let go of the bitterness, anger, and frustration that has consumed me for the past decade. I don't know if I'm growing as a person or if I'm just too burnt out to keep it up.
At the same time, I'm still upset about my many failures and my inability to ever realize my aspirations, but now I'm just more sad about it than I am angry. So many dreams once possible now likely out of my reach forever, and part of it is because I spent the last decade stewing in anger rather than trying to develop myself. Now it feels like it's too late. My attention span is nonexistent, I'm lazy, and I have very little impulse control. There's just no coming back from where I am.

I got warned for getting a chick's contacts outside of /soc/ (she ended up not responding anyway), but at a glance /soc/ seems to be a cesspool of cheating, one night stands and nudes.
Not an incel, by the way; I just haven't had any interest in dating for over half a decade. A chick I met on /d/ (I thought she was a dude and we were just friends for a while) broke my heart and I had no desire to try again until recently.
