its really weird how impossible it is to find a gif or even just the actual footage of Dr. Scott kicking his legs during the RHPS floor show scene. i honestly figured tumblr would have already turned every single second of that movie into a gif by now, kinda seems like their thing
#491
oh wait thats right, theyre only allowed to transgress gender boundaries in the most whiny, pedantic, nitpicking, uncool, least rock & roll ways possible. my bad

so does all this mean Facebook is going to start including "War Criminal" in their list of 71 possible Genders?

i mean yeah, they probably have struggles. discipline and determination that is lacking in the usual pussypass-chasing psycho-troon... but christ look at that ginger version of the bald robocop villain (and lol the forced perspective making her look like she's visiting hobbits)

what voice do they choose when they yell at soldiers for minor grooming infractions - while worried if they're showing enough of those gaaaaams

i was immediately repulsed by the D&G stuff, but, trying to stay open-minded and hoping to understand their secret language, went to the book store looking to pick up a copy of anti-oedipus (we had book stores back then).

i took a copy off the shelf and tried reading the first page and parsing it as hard as i could but it was pure meaningless gibberish. i flipped through it and it was more of the same. compared to actual philosophy such as plato (which is rather clear to understand), i became convinced that it was a total charade. a bunch of highly interpretable, half-baked ideas of no importance obscured to make them look smart or dangerous. you hook some prodromal types and get them obsessed with your work. i mean, the book is literally titled 'capitalism & schizophrenia'; that's revealing. think of the sort of audience that appeals to.

i had more or less the same experience when i bought a zizek book hoping to learn more. i thought he would be relatively clear like he is in online videos of him (which is saying something) but it was unreadable.

i do find it interesting that another major nexus point of schizophrenia is trying to fully process neon genesis evangelion.

as a follow-up thought, a lot of nerd hobbies seem to involve elaborate fantasy worlds to escape into and try to comprehend (and then predict). we have often associated this with 'autism', which highlights its anti-social elements, but i think it can also be characterized as schizophrenia. and i think it's something pretty much everyone does to some degree or another as a means of escape. arguably any consumption of art such as reading a book or watching a film falls into this category. the more intelligent a person is, the more elaborate a fantasy they can get lost into. the more anti-social a person is, the more taboo a fantasy they will allow themselves to get lost into. a proper schizophrenic is someone who simply goes too far and loses their anchor to the real world and has to crawl back and try to maintain sanity. (i'm reminded of the monomyth again)

arguably, all interests which aren't dedicated to the pragmatic betterment of the actual world, personally or collectively, (whether physically, socially, ideologically, or some other realistic manner) qualify as schizophrenic. and i think this fear of wasting my time unproductively is why it's rare i am able to get lost into fiction anymore, unless i am in a period of severe emotional distress. i look back on my past obsessions with wistful embarrassment. there is also the very real risk of being morally or otherwise psychologically manipulated by the author who has you in his grasp. i think religion can sublimate this need, and be a constructive influence.
