Holy shit. This is apex insane genius shizophreic but all makes sense level. Guess I'm in that rabbit hole. My only issue when you do these is you put too much in for proper digestion (sorry, me being exhausted). But like it's hard to pick how many sentences here one reads here and thinks "I can't believe that is a sentence" but also simultaneously deep knowledge and frippery.

I'll just pick one, but seriously:

"Sometimes Art Hoes who are ostensibly dumb and retarded will be correct about things in a way that initially will feel specious / empty cause their little ginies and nips and shit are picking up on subconscious lower order frequencies not legible to syllogistic and phallic propositional manlogic."

Being an odd-numbered age always feels weird and wrong. Specially for a Libra. 😉

>Just about everyone in creation is hugely motivated by status—especially the folks who insist they don’t care about status (which invariably means they’re operating in some photonegative / stack overflow hierarchy)

My read on the overtly pursuing status/wealth debate is that it is muddled by:

1. Resentful proles who don't have and will never get either

2. People who are pursuing status/wealth but find being explicit about it declasse or autistic/ADHD coded.

Because of that, a lot of the genuine "anti-striving" arguments (listed below) are written off by others as muddying the waters or simply being unenlightened.

1. People who are doing something purely for the purposes of status/wealth will do it worse than people who like it for the thing in itself + the status/wealth it brings -- status/wealth motivation plays a role in everything but being motivated by something for its own sake is rare and valuable. "Follow your passion" is good advice for people who want to be outliers.

2. Subcultures that fill up with people who are only in it for status, wealth, or social relationships often deteriorate because what people originally found compelling about said subculture is no longer appreciated by a substantial fraction of the people inside it.

3. Analysing everything through the lens of status is uninteresting and circular. E.g. saying people engage in a competition because they want to compete is a bad explanation because it doesn't explain why people are engaging in that specific competition and not a different one.

Personally, I am asocial and don't care that much about status for its own sake, and whenever I do things to increase my own status it's usually for the purposes of collecting something else. I am strongly and unashamedly motivated by wealth because I want to be free from ZOG/capitalism/neofeudalism and the only way to do that is to get fuck you money.

Also I really like the term "photonegative hierarchy".

It’s ridiculous how nostalgic one can feel about just barely a year ago while also feeling like things have not changed even an iota in about a decade or so.

Feel rather stupid for not making the “but negativity is sooo low status, Walt” argument to you but here we are. Happy (belated) birthday to you. May you find all that lost high status positivity strewn about somewhere in your shockingly accommodating apartment.

People seeking true self-knowledge could skip the years of therapy / meditation and let you interview them - they could find out what pieces of shit they are in under 30 mins

TBH, this reads like what some aspie/schizo combo who hasn't left the basement in 2 decades thinks truth bombs for the outside world are like. Probably because that's also what it is

I think the listicle format gives a nice bit of essential structure to the wazhoo-bingo-bango logorrhoea of Walter's earlier stuff. On Art Heaux's as Litmus on the ChatGPT shit -- no, that was always fake and gay and I will cringe at every single generated image you post. Other than that it's a bit like walking into a weird seedy bar and there's a guy celebrating his birthday by himself and then he starts to grandstand, toasting his life and his memories, and what he's saying is somewhat memorable and funny but then you're worried that if you start smiling or looking like you're listening you will be "taken hostage", you'll see a glint in his eye that is the madman's narcissistic daemon revving up, and you'll then be unable to leave without a very good excuse.

I laughed pretty hard.

Wow. Really good. A little difficult to parse sometimes, but I suppose that's the point. Leaves me wondering if there's some deeper level I'm not grasping, which may also be the point.

I kinda wanna try doing a full exegesis but I feel like that ruins the art.
