Hypogeal geometry
Marjorie
did not follow security. Marjorie was asked to leave. Marjorie left
out the window. Other nothings precede and follow, but we have no
time for them. Paradigmatic. Marjorie is paradigmatic. A good
example. Full of teachings. Teachings. An
example. We will make an example out of Marjorie, who is nothing
in the world. Nothing at all. We will use her until she is used up.
Her use value is paradigmatic, nothing more. A surgical operation :
extract meaning from Marjorie, leave the remaining flowering wound.
Clinical. Precise. A vivisection. Education is the core theme.
Education preoccupied Rabelais. Education is the primary sector. How
was Marjorie educated ? Was Marjorie educated ? Marjorie
was trained. Marjorie went to school, it’s true. What did she
learn ? Marjorie learned discipline. Marjorie learned that she
was not to speak. Marjorie learned manners. Marjorie learned to fear
her elders. Marjorie learned core cultural contents : Marjorie
learned to lie and to recite. Antipodal activity. Manifest content,
latent content. Marjorie learned punctuality, it’s true. She
learned she would be humiliated for tardiness. Poor Marjorie.
Marjorie was already nothing. Marjorie learned nothing, it’s true,
but what can you do. Nothing is true, it’s true. Marjorie learned
nothing from school. Marjorie didn’t know anything, it’s
possible. Marjorie might have known things, but she did not learn
them at school. Marjorie learned against school.
Antipodal activity, resilience, and so on. Robust organisms are
bodies built for scarcity. Bodies built for scarcity are not bodies
built scarcely : bodies built for scarcity have a surplus. To
have a surplus means : to need less than you have. Margins.
Stock. Reserves. Abundant ecosystems produce lean bodies. Lean
bodies need more, generally.
Lean manufacturing. Just
in time, logistically.
Manufacture logically.
Made with the hand. Lean hand production. No stockpiles, no margin :
fat is ugly, fat is for people who are nothing in the world. Fat is
for winter. Winter isn’t coming, contrary to popular belief. The
people who haven’t read the ends of books believe that summer lasts
forever. People who think the means. Moby Dick : Achab is good.
Writers read. Journalists read. Newspapers. Newspapers are shorter.
Look at the headline. Journalists reading books : not to the
end. The Great Gatsby : Gatsby is good. Good guy. Honest guy
making an honest buck. We haven’t read the ends. Marjorie didn’t
read any books, beginnings or ends. Marjorie was taught to hate
books, viscerally. Read, Marjorie. No, Marjorie, it’s pronounced
“condescendance”, idiot. Marjorie was an idiot. They gave her a
driving licence ? Well see where that got her, big
fat flower dripping on the windshield wipers.
Low IQ Marjorie, too much time in the sun, which
is about as wide as a human foot is long.
Fat
is for reserves. Fat is extra. Fat is for bodies living in the
desert. Phatic communication is extra. Phatic communication is the
remainder. Marjorie
is a remainder.
Marjorie travelled like Ulysses, from island to island, from asshole
to asshole. Not that she deserved better. Surplus. She had some. She
had enough for winter. In spring once,
she found herself on the lawn, fiddling with a toy soldier – many
brothers, licking on a Pluto pup. A brother who was nothing in the
world came along, they sat around eating tasty cheese in Darwin….
Marjorie did not see this as she became a flowering wound inside her
car. In the desert, creatures stock a surplus. Marjorie learned to
stock a surplus. Marjorie lived in the desert. Creatures that live in
the desert are nothing in the world. There are people who are not
better than creatures. There are people who do nothing but suck the
resources and die. For
these we keep the remainder. Otherwise, we may discard
the remainder. Hardly
human resources. Human resources are composed of people trying to
escape nothingness. To escape nothingness, to become something in the
world, one must undertake. Once one undertakes, one is a
becoming-something. There are fewer becoming-somethings than there
are nothing-at-alls. Reading is hard. Reading a book to the end is
hard. Losing steam. Threads unspooling. Steam. Matthew Boulton was an
entrepreneur : he bought James Watt’s engine for making coins.
Steam engine. James Watt was ruined by his invention before Matthew
Boulton intervened. Penelope awaits. Making, unmaking. The tapestry
demands order. Still somewhere Marjorie’s Penelope awaits. Marjorie
will never meet her Penelope. Cadillacs. Marjorie would not have met
Penelope had she lived to 120. Any death before 120 is premature. In
the desert, Cadillacs are useless. The sand gets everywhere. The
smallest grain can perturb the machinery. I’m
Big Machine. I
don’t like sand, said the poet, Ani.
The smallest crumb can devour us. Marjorie was nothing in the world,
and so was her Penelope. Penelope is probably Chinese or Indian,
statistically speaking. Marjorie was neither. Marjorie was worse than
nothing. Marjorie was Australian. Marjorie lived where she might have
heard Tambora’s outburst, had she been alive in 1815, as a nearby
gunshot. Marjorie
was born in 1974. Catastrophic devastation then. A Christmas miracle.
A tropical storm. Clouds have eyes. It is known. Suggestion :
update the planetary infrastructure. Warning : ignored. Darwin :
Ignored. Darwin : devastated by a tropical cyclone in 1974.
Darwin : naturalist. Naturalist : person who studies
nature. Naturalization : to make nature. Nature : not real.
Listen closely : there is no nature, there is no culture. There
is no planet. Darwin sailed around the planet on the HMS
Beagle.
Darwin never went to Darwin. Darwin was named Darwin on a different
voyage of the Beagle,
that Darwin
did not participate in. Darwin
was upset, later on : it’s about animals ! All about
animals. Hey, Charles : humans are animals. Humans behave like
animals. Human societies behave like animals. Kropotkine heard this
and was appalled. As was Darwin. Darwin was devastated because of
subpar performance. The dinosaurs were killed because of subpar
performance. Birds were no killed. Birds are the cream
of the pool.
They float to the top. When in times of need, birds remember what
killed the dinosaurs. They look up to the clouds. Asteroids go
through the clouds like they were nothing. The asteroid that killed
the dinosaurs contained iridium. For years, the birds were blind.
Unless they could fly above the clouds. For ever, the creatures who
live on the abyssal plain are blind. They are nothing in the world.
Polychaetes are worms that float aimlessly. Whales are mammals.
Whales breathe the atmospheric air. Every so often, whales come up to
the surface, to breathe. Whales rarely get cancer. Cancer is a
statistic. Life is statistics.
People get cancer X often, X being a percentage. Cancer is a mutation
of the cell. More cells, more cancer ; bigger animals get more
cancer. Elephants rarely get cancer. Elephants are top perfomers.
Whales are top performers. People are subpar performers. People who
get cancer are nothing in the world. Whales don’t get cancer as
often as their body mass suggests, statistically. Whales have
different genes. Gene by gene, the whale improves its performance.
The whale comes up to the surface every minute or so. To breathe. The
whale is a subpar performer. The whale is a subpar performer that
rarely gets cancer. Any death before 120 is premature. Gene by gene,
people improve their performance. Anybody who dies before 120 is a
subpar performer. Beagles are dogs. Beagles get cancer. Dogs get
cancer. Dogs are subpar performers. Especially some of them. Gene by
gene, dogs become subpar performers. Gene by gene, dogs become our
friends. People with friends are subpar performers. People whose
friends are dogs are nothing in the world. Dogs whose friends are
dogs are worse than nothing. They deserve their miseries. Smaller
dogs live longer. Bodies are built for scarcity. Dogs were wolves, it
is known. Dogs the size of wolves die before the wolves. Smaller dogs
die later. Gene by gene, dogs become subpar performers. Dogs die
later as they get smaller. Smaller dogs can hardly breathe. In the
desert, bodies are built for scarcity. Dogs eat dogs. Lions
eat cubs. And so on. Animals are mean. Humans are animals. Humans are
mean. Humans are process oriented. They think the means. Humans are
means. Smaller dogs can hardly breathe. Smaller dogs are subpar
performers that die later. Polychaetes are blind. Worms are blind.
Polychaetes are worms. Polychaetes live in the sea. Sea worms float
aimlessly. Whales die, sometimes. Rarely of cancer. When whales die,
they float to the surface. The birds land on the whales. Achab was a
good guy. An honest man. Achab was vindicated. Achab was killed.
White whales are dangerous. Whiteness is dangerous. Achab is white.
Whiteness is an important chapter. When whales die, they float down
to the abyssal plain. The ocean floor. The bottom. Closer to the dead
center. At the bottom, all creatures are blind. Have been. Hardly
any. In the desert, bodies are built for scarcity. The desert is
where there isn’t a lot of water. Hardly any. At the bottom of the
ocean, there is a lot of water. Worms are blind. Polychaetes float
aimlessly. The bottom of the sea is littered with dead whales. Dead
whales blow up in the air. Dead whales are eaten by sharks.
Irresponsible mothers’ children are eaten by sharks. Dead whales
leave big bones. Polychaetes land on the bones. Polychaetes latch on
the bones. Worms eat the bones. Polychaetes
latch like locks. In
the desert, bodies are built for scarcity. There is no life on Mars.
Australia is where you send people who are worse than nothing. Theelite
of the cropwants to go to Mars. Mars is a desert. In the desert, bodies are
built for scarcity. Bodies built for scarcity have a reserve, a
margin. Stock. The elites
of the poolhave stock as well. No margins. Just in time. Logistically speaking,
the elites want nothing. The elites want the summer to last forever.
Mars is a desert where the summer lasts for ever. Mars is a desert.
Mars is uninhabitable. Musk wants to go to Mars. Musk wants to live
on Mars. Mars is the red planet. Australia is pretty red ; red
people lived there – correction : nobody lived in australia.
Aboriginal land, stolen, there is none. Land is for the british. The
British are people. The red people from Australia are nothing in the
world. Australians are nothing in the world. Marjorie still has no
legacy. Musk wants to go to Mars. Mr. Peel was an elite.
Mr. Peel was civilization. Mr. Peel went to Australia with a lot of
people who were nothing in the world. Capital consists of raw
materials, instruments of labour, and means of subsistence of all
kinds. So say the economists. Mr. Peel brought 300 people who were
nothing to Australia. Mr. Peel brought money, children, means of
production to Australia, where are sent people who are worse than
nothing. Mr. Peel was not worse than nothing. Mr. Peel was above. In
times of need, people who are nothing in the world look up to Mr.
Peel. When Mr. Peel arrived in Australia, he was left without a
servant to make his bed. Mr. Peel forgot to bring from civilization
the English modes of production ! Mr. Peel killed a lot of red
people. Marx makes fun of Mr. Peel. Musk wants to go to Marx. Let
him. Musk goes to Mars. Mars is a desert. In the desert, bodies are
built for scarcity. Bodies built for scarcity always have a little
reserve, something extra. Bodies of those to whom those who are
nothing in the world look up to have no fat. Bodies of the eliteare
lean. Management is lean. Management is from the hand. Leadership
isn’t taught. Musk manages. Musk looks up to the sky. When in times
of need, people who are nothing in the world look up to Musk. Musk
looks up to the sky. Musk makes the planet a desert. Musk goes to
Mars, which is a desert. Musk has no extra fat. In the desert, bodies
have extra fat. Musk brings means of production. Mars is the red
planet. Australia is pretty red too – red people who are nothing
live there. But they do not own anything. Musk owns many things. Musk
has nothing, wants nothing but to go to Mars. Musk keeps no reserve.
Lean management. Logistically speaking, Musk wants nothing. Just in
time. Musk gets to Mars just in time. Musk brings people who are
nothing to Mars. People who are nothing in the world build stadiums
and die. Musk brings means of production to Mars. Musk only reads the
beginnings of books. Lolita : slut. Musk thinks about the means.
History is written by people who think that Lolita is a slut. To read
a book is good, to finish it is better. Musk brings means to Mars.
People who are nothing in the world are means. Money is a means. Musk
brings money to Mars. Statistics
stick. Mars
is a desert. Musk makes money on Mars. Qatar is a desert where people
who are nothing in the world go to make money and die building
stadiums. Musk might make stadiums on Mars. People who are nothing in
the world go to the stadiums. Mars is a desert. Australia is a
desert. Qatar is a desert. In the desert, bodies are built for
scarcity. In
the desert are the terrorists. They hide in caves. Hypogeologically
speaking, caves are underneath the rock. Caves can be made of sheets,
maybe. In the desert is where the terrorists are. We don’t
negotiate with terrorists. The terrorists are worse than nothing in
the world. If we could, we would send all the terrorists to Mars. In
Qatar, there are no terrorists. In Syria are terrorists. We
send the people who are nothing in the world to Qatar, where they die
building stadiums. It’s nobody’s problem. Certainly not the
State’s. The
State fights the terrorists.
War
is the father of all things.
I am the State. Says the CEO of France, a while back. Me too, says
Bashar. Statistics
stick. The State is statistics. Fathers
were born as well. Bashar
was born september 11. Do
the math.
Do your own research. Math
is beautiful. Syria
is where cement is made. Cement is a great long-term
storage solution. Cement is always the solution. Cement is a pillar
of world economy. The world economy has always suffered during the
dog days of August. The dog days don’t end in the desert, where the
terrorists live and it’s always hot. In the desert, the summer
never ends. People who are nothing in the world don’t like the
desert because it’s always hot. People who are nothing in the world
like the summer because it ends. Recycling is important. Logistically
speaking, Suez is a big deal. People who are nothing in the world go
to Qatar to build stadiums and die. Terrorize. We are being lied to.
Open your eyes. You are alone. Live alone, die alone. Communication
is an illusion. Everyone hates you. Everyone follows you. Nobody
cares about you. Everybody cares to see you suffer. All buildings are
already built. Nothing more will happen. Life is decay. Lucretius
said. The genealogy of atomism even goes to Thales, unmentioned so
far. All is water. Said Thales. The genealogy of kung fu goes all the
way to Bruce Lee. Mentioned above. Be like water, said Bruce Lee.
Become the cup, and so on. The Flintstones, the Jetsons live in a
flat circle. Life is a flat circle. Time is a flat circle. Revolution
has two meanings. One means to return. Life returns, endlessly.
Thought Aristotle. Thought Friedrich. The Flintstones behind, the
Jetsons ahead, live in small flat revolutionary circles. Why don’t
we ? Cut off your cock to get into heaven. Update : the repressed
returns. Fact : faith is repressed. Update : faith returns. The white
is more dangerous when cornered. The beast is enraged when it
despairs. A trapped beast will gnaw off its own leg to survive. A
cornered dog will bark and bite. Fact : faith returns. Fact : despair
returns. Update : despair creates faith. Achievement unlocked,
Sophism 100. Logic returns. Facts return. Facts don’t exist. Said
Friedrich. The world is made up of facts. Said Ludwig. Facts are sad.
Said some Davids. Despair to learn of horrors past. What will they
think of next ? Live in loops. Like the Jetsons, more and more.
Civilization returns. Don’t worry about the planet. Don’t worry
about the weather. Don’t worry about the atmosphere. Contribute.
Add facts. Add bricks. People
who are nothing in the world go to Egypt to build canals and die.
People who are nothing in the world make cement. Speak
analogically, please.
People who are something in the world sell cement. They have no
cement on their hands. Cement sets. It’s not a crime. People who
are nothing in the world make cement, die, and are set in cement. The
circle of life. Their useful nutrients nourish the cement. Cement
blocks the airways. The project is to cover it all with cement.
Semantically speaking, it’s not impossible to cement the whole
planet. The subject here is the one speaking. Marjorie never spoke.
Cement sets, eventually. Cement paves the way for logistics. Ha ! You
just drank cement. Cement is not edible. Don’t drink. I’m a fan
fan fan of the Autobahn,
where ther is no speed limit. There should be no limits to speed.
There are no limits to cement. Eventually, the world will all be
cement. Cement the airways. At the bottom of the sea are some vents.
Sulfur is typically emitted, among other things. They are also
called : smokers. Smoking kills. Communities form around the
chimneys. Communities form around Chomsky. Embarassingly. Anarchy
is mayhem, it is known. Contradict Communards. Become an anarchist.
Swiss watchmakers are patient and careful : securing
the balance
wheel is no small feat. Abiogenesis
is the transformation of inorganic matter into organic matter. Aka
life itself. Polychaetes like these kinds of vents. Polychaetes are
blind. Polychaetes are worms. Worms are blind. There are people who
are worms in the world. Chemosynthetic bacterial mats. Cement blocks
the airways. People who are nothing in the world make cement and die.
It’s the cycle of life. In the past and the future, people will
live and lived around some cycles. There are two kinds of
revolutions. Latch
bolts
click ; unless they are dented. The
first is the blank slate. Return to the archaic. Cosmic revolution.
The second is the clean slate. Eat the rich. Proletarian, revolution,
if anything. Wipe the floor with the bourgeoisie. I hope they will
remember my carbuncles. You’ll understand later. You
must know about the car uncle.
This
uncle of mine had a strange habit. By all acounts a reasonable man, a
small man who kept close to his money. A man of worry, maybe. An
accountant I surmise, or a notary. Once in a while, at night, he
would leave the house. My aunt knew what he did. She waited,
anxiously. She said nothing. The uncle drove. He took out the car to
the highway and drove as fast as he could. It had seized him once
when she had been in the passenger seat. He had kept speeding and
speeding, she had said : Max, please. He said nothing. He closed his
eyes for a few seconds and let his hands, hover over the wheel. A
hundred fifty, sixty, seventy, eventually, two hundred. He
sped past to a blur, his features furrowed to a frown.
A good car. My uncle drove quickly.
I’m
a fan fan fan of the Autobahn,
where speed is unlimited. On the Autobahn,
one is allowed to travel faster than light. Emancipatorily speaking,
the Autobahnis wonderful. The Autobahnuses a lot of cement. Don’t drink it. Cement is used, ubiquitously.
Lafarge is a company. Companies have bodies. The bodies of companies
travel faster than light on the Autobahn,
and everywhere else. It’s only allowed on the Autobahn,
is why I mention it. We’re gonna make a fortune with this product.
Cement is enough to make a fortune. I killed my future with my boss.
I nailed Jesus to the cross. There are different kinds of bodies.
That which travels faster than light can’t be seen. Sound that
travels too fast becomes the wind. Bruce Lee became some water. Jesus
became some Pepsi Cola. Bruce Lee died of a bad brain. Jesus died of
nails. They were subpar performers. Nevertheless, the condolences of
Pepsi Cola are with you. Jackie Chan was taught by Bruce Lee, who was
taught by Ip Man, who was taught by Chan Wah-shun, who was taught by
Leung Jan, who was taught by Leung Yee-tai, who was taught by Wong
Wah-bo, who was taught by Leung Yee-tai, who was taught by Jee Sin
Sim See. Apocryphal, to some degree. It’s not what you say, it’s
how you say it. Manner over matter, always. Cement sets. Those who
are something in the world love cement. Lafarge is a big company. Big
companies have bodies. There are two kinds of body. Judicial bodies
and physical bodies. Make the difference. When you hear : the
condolences of Pepsi Cola are with you, it is meant that the judicial
body Pepsi Cola offers its condolences. When you hear : the
condolences of everybody at Pepsi Cola are with you, it is meant that
the physical bodies who occupy positions at the company offer their
condolences. Big difference. To become a physical body at Pepsi Cola,
one must suffer a surgical procedure. We will talk about that later.
All that matters now is that Lafarge is a company. Not a person.
Companies have judicial bodies, that can be judged like other
persons. Clearly, companies are not nothing in the world. Lafarge
makes cement. Lafarge pays people who are nothing in the world to
make cement. Lafarge
has its share of problems. The problems are the shareholders. The
problem of Lafarge is the shares. Who owns the shares owns the body
of Lafarge. Bad
bits. Pulviscularly
speaking, Lafarge was quartered. Lafarge had a good quarter in 2014.
In 2014, there was a war in Syria. Had
been. Lafarge
had a plant in Syria. Don’t get it
wrong : the plant makes cement. Usually, plants turn light from
the sun into chemical energy and store carbon dioxide in their roots
while they grow. Surprisingly, this plant turns manual
labor and means of production into cement, which blocks the airways.
Bashar makes a war in Syria. With others. Who are also in Syria. The
war is inside the country. It’s a…. It’s a civil war. Civil
wars involve others. Who are outside the country. Some
are inside and want to be outside. Some want their own country. Some
are just outside the war and the country.
Like Lafarge. Lafarge makes cement, remember. Lafarge is having a
good quarter in Syria. A quarter is to measure the production.
Production in Syria is good. Syria has some terrorists in it.
Production of cement is good in Syria, where the plant successfully
converts a lot of manual labor into cement, which blocks the airways
and can be used as long-term
storage solution for the bodies of those whose labor is turned into
cement along with the means of production and who are nothing in the
world. Breathe. Can’t. Cement blocks the airways. People who are
nothing in the world drink cement. Cement sets. Cement blocks the
airways, which causes them to suffer. Pain fractures, pain federates.
One way or the other, cement is used. Facts can be true or false,
they remain facts. Facts
that are the case are usually the remainder. Fat is the remainder.
The remainder is used for play, mechanically speaking. The
ends don’t matter. Matter matters. Cement is the matter. What is
the matter ? Facts are either true or false. The weatherman
brings on the weather. Models are important. Mind
the matter. Mind the weather. Don’t worry too much about the
weather : others are doing it. Forever. Worrying about the
weather is forever. Problem for the production : there are
terrorists in Syria. The terrorists are threatening the plant. The
plant makes cement. The cement
sets, can be turned into money. Money is good. No money, more
problems. Problem solved : give money to the terrorists. Spend
little money, get big money from the cement. It’s [child’s voice]
obvious. In
Indonesia, the cement company calls itself Semen Indonesia Group.
That’s honestly just funny. The company is owned by the State. The
State is [a child of 4 named Zuki says this, excited at the prospect
of being recorded, enjoying hearing himself in the headset] obvious.
