Gotta go with Aliens, one of my childhood obsessions right there
Thinking as making equal that which is new
If that’s not nihilism I can’t tell you what is
Valis is by far the best in that trilogy imo the only really notable one of the three - and no, they can be read on their own they link up more in themes than plot
Nice, yeah I saw it in an empty covid theatre! Biggest benefit to the lockdowns is a peaceful theatre experience 🙏🙏
How did this compare for you? To his other work
I was never a 4channer for example - but there is value to the fact that a niche online community is able to create waves in mainstream media (usually through trolls and elaborate pranks) due to their ability to analyze and predict cultural relevancy
@8279 posted a couple days ago on here (maybe insta and Twitter too?)
I think the idea of influencers producing content here first would create a strong incentive for anyone interested in catching cultural waves before anyone else

Very cool to see real time
Nothing better than the whole apartment smelling like sugo
Ego as a necessary supposition
Amoral, teleological at most, a shovel
Now even the lowest IQ portion of the population (Rob Schneider fans) are privy to the corruption of big tech
On that note I got around to watching “I’m thinking about ending things” similar nightmarish vibe - except I think it is probably the most realistic nightmare I’ve ever seen on film. The dream logic on point - but as usual self indulgent Kaufman
Grew up to my father watching this on repeat - it was always a psychedelic dream sequence to me then, I never got it as a kid. Now I hum the theme song in my head. Terry Gilliam is always very tough around the edges but also always worthwhile
Considering the fact that the algorithms are a mirror and we’ve got ascend before they will ascend. This goes for a decentralized valuation mechanism too but I think more top down - the zeitgeist tugging us along on strings - the egregore claiming it prey
This but on a cyclical recurrence in form with new inputs colouring each roundabout anew
Eternal recurrence isn’t a paralyzing concept with amnesia
Marriage as citizenship; the commitment of ones posterity to their culture affords them their due rights within it
