i mean itd be useful for the thing i want to write but then if i actually get sucked in i could sublimate my feeble will into some grand nonsensical narrative and if i get brainwashed enough then i might just clear up some of my neuroticism and no longer feel so abstracted from everything. iono

don't do it, this is the plot of houellebecq's novel

dream: all these gross shapeshifting monsters were chasing after me and people i knew and i was protecting them or whatever but the monsters kept appearing to the people as scenes they would find particularly grotesque. and i was like what sort of monster would do such a thing and my friend goes "they aren't aliens... they are worse...." and then some angel or whatever came and was like "they come from sin" and i was like then why aren't i being hurt, i'm not perfect, and the angel was like "because this is a dream. the sin plays a role in your death." and i woke up boom

so uhh join my cult, called catholicism

ok here's my idea. ive been sitting on it for a couple weeks just playing around w/ it in my head, it's really unpolished + vague but this is the basic outline: a Bloke becomes convinced that contemporary western society is entering a stage of generalised autism in which all human relationships are mediated by technology and any sense of the Real is slowly being sucked away, a feeble dessicated existence... in a misguided attempt to experience Authenticity he abandons his life to do aid work in africa but slowly realises that he is useless at everything and the well-meaning liberal westerners around him are too... disenchanted, he returns home and tries to fall in love, find God, join a cult, murders a dude, nothing helps.... eventually he discovers that a revolution is brewing in the african village he once lived in... he rushes over to help fight... the locals don't remember him and are suspicious... eventually they allow him to join... however as the war continues he becomes aware that he's not the only westerner involved, his old friends in advertising etc from back home are lending their support to the rebels, seeing the african country as a valuable emerging market... the africans themselves are becoming as neurotic and disenchanted as the rest of the world... at the end he is at the front of the convoy that destroys the dictators palace and drags him to his death... and as the dictator dies the rebels surround him, taking photo after photo on their smartphones, not even looking at the man they have killed but only at the representation of him on their screen......
#92
that actually sounds really good so long as yo ucan avoid being too precious with all the technology stuff, since thats like mega delillo-ism. so youre taking some risks.. that's good, i think
#93
i havent read any delilo :nyoron:... but its more about actual communications technology than tv and other unilinear forms... the screens everywhere, screens we interface with reality through.... my characters ex-gf is an advertising exec working on a new project that monitors everything you do and buy and delivers targeted adverts via implanted in-ear headphones..... he starts off in tv, working oin an 'edgy' sitcom that takes place in an alternate britain where the nazis won.... blegurgh. perhaps one day i will write something where the protagonist is not a disaffected youngish male. that day is not today
#94
the idea is to push everything thats already happening just slightly further.... hyperbole but not quite parody. maybe it will work. maybe i will Die In A Fucking Ditch
#95
my "writing instincts" are actually devolving. my first major project was a charismatic sociopath manipulating his way thru the french revolution, then a cynical mercenary ready to take on the structures he's been working for, then a disaffected young woman, and now in the kobe book a disaffected young guy.
#96
how does that constitute a devolution? i still need to read the rest of ur kobe thing but based on your e/n posts at least it sounds like youre getting closer to the actual substance of your existence
#97
right now im writing a short (2-3k words) thing about a pick up artist... i find them fascinating psychological specimens, i think that in oversexualising themselves they have depleted any capacity for sensuality, i dont think theyre capable of genuinely enjoying sex.... if its not awful i might post it
#98
it's a movement from writing stories to spinning out autobiographical webs. i'm not sure if it's better or worse but something is definitely happening.

haha. my brother does this shit and he is Absolutely Ridiculous; and also almost never meets any women. not sur eif he's had sex.

#100
it's a hollow sexuality too, an affected one. certainly women are capable of the same thing, as are non-pua men, but they do it consciously and precisely for its sign value stripped of any actually-existing desire to sexualize themselves. but now we'r ejust talking about authenticity

In other words, instead of postulating the idea of a radical break, this figure proposes to sketch the latent outline of communism from within capitalism.

Welp.
#103
PUAs are just guys making an identity out of doing what men who seek casual sex already do
#104
yeah but in doing so they become something very very different... when seeking out sex stops becoming an activity and forms the basis of your being the actual act of coitus takes on a whole other character.... normal blokes seek out sex because they enjoy it, puas seek out sex because theyre aspergerish freaks whove been denied it most of their lives... in the face of such hunger the sex act itself becomes an irrelevancy, a chore almost

agreed, i find both fairly contemptible but just on a superficial and personal level nerds who talk about the great game of getting pussy really really bother me. i swear i once remember an SA thread where guys were talking about the smell of vaginas based on nationality

christy captures precisely the feeling of pussy, but the type where you're all up in it and rootin around
