5. Prophylactic move

Look forward. Watch out. Strap yourself to trains. If you do not pay the rent, I will tie your daughter to the train tracks. Marjorie was 10 when she sat on the lawn eating pups and cheese. That was the year that little Grégory was turned into a giant wound on the other side of the world. Not so far from Marjorie, ten Kanaks were turned into giant wounds. The Kanaks were nothing in the world. The people who turned the Kanaks into giant wounds are called murderers. Murder is illegal : it’s the law. Blood is the essence of the law. The people who turned the Kanaks into giant wounds were not put in jail. They ambushed ten Kanaks, and killed them. Blood was everywhere. Blood is the essence of the law : blood being everywhere, everyone could see that Kanak blood held no claim to law. The French have pure blood, represented by their white skin. Representation is a big question. Whiteness is an important chapter. Achab is white, the whale is white. Queequeg is a cannibal. The French who turned the Kanaks into giant wounds were not sent to jail. Case dismissed. Non-lieu. Cause : preventive self-defense. Antipodal activity, again. Kill or be killed. It’s a dog eat dog world. Dogs eat dogs. In times of need, dogs look up to humans, who are their friends. In times of need, humans look up to the elite in the turds, who are not their friends. In times of need, the elites look up to the birds. In times of need, the birds fly and look at the clouds, waiting for asteroids. Unlucky birds end up in the engines of Epstein’s jets. When Marjorie was 10 on that lawn, there was an incident with her brother, who cut his hand doing something stupid. Marjorie had many brothers, who were nothing in the world, are nothing in the world. They were a youthful band. They are a gang of old fucks. They come to the funeral of Marjorie. They shake the hand of Marjorie’s unfaithful husband, who is nothing in the world and a drunkard. Marjorie’s husband, who has seen the proverbial tape of his wife turning into a giant wound, sees this image as he sees the coffin. MEDIUM SHOT : Marjorie’s station wagon, severely dented, red windshield, beige paint scraped, in the garage. MATCH CUT : Marjorie’s coffin, lying on a four-legged apparatus, oriented similarly to the car. Anticipatorily speaking, shots are syntagms arranged in time. Editing is important. A brother recalls the incident when he cut himself. He has made something of himself. He is becoming something in the world. An entrepreneur. He thinks : irresponsible mother, her child will be devoured by a shark or something or other. The child will not go to the father : he doesn’t want it. Irresponsible mother, selfish, selfish Marjorie, nothing in the world, maybe worse than that. Legacy update : not found. Will : don’t bother. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. That’s true. No, it’s a movie. If there’s no will…. Omission. Marjorie owned nothing anyway. Marjorie was nothing in the world, she had nothing. The car is fucked. The house is a rent. The child is about to be devoured by the sun. At this moment, one would hope for a miracle. Miraculous destruction : an asteroid hits the planet, blocking out the sun with ash laden black clouds. Chances of asteroid : null. Says NASA. Defend beforehand. A Maginot line. Predict the future : with enough data, the sky is clear. The weather is not the climate. We need a weather model and a climate model. Models are important. There are model homes, model cities, models for the weather and models for the climate. Models work well, statistically speaking. Models predict. When in times of need, people who are nothing and people who are something look up to models. Models are tall : it’s required. Models inform about the state of the atmosphere. More and more people are worried about the atmosphere. In 1815, William Turner was worried about the atmosphere. With enough data, we can predict the next best move. Data is given. Don’t question the data, don’t bite the hand, no ? The problem is not acquiring the data. The models are made of statistics. Statistics are more likely to happen. Models are more likely to happen. We can buy the future. On the futures market. We can buy futures. Energy will continue to be made in the future. Transportation will continue to occur in the future. It’s a certainty. People who are something in the world trust the models. Models are like dreams. They have an abstraction to them. More on that later. Models make up their own little languages, understood by few. More and more people are worried about the atmosphere. William Turner strapped himself to the side of a train. Outside. Outside the train, watch out. Heads chopped off. Preemptively. Anticipatorily speaking, self-defense means radical solipsism. Radical solipsism means : kill every living thing that is not yourself. I am the world. Le monde me comprend mais je le comprends. Fuck Spinoza. Spinoza was excommunicated. The world comprises me, one might say. Before succumbing to solipsism. Sisyphus succumbs to entropy, eventually. Echolalia happens automatically. Florally speaking, oxeyes are daisies. Are marguerites. Marguerites are not Marjories. Marjories are nothing in the world. Marjories have mixed blood, which is not the essence of the law. Mixed blood makes bad law. Boetius said :

Let us learn then ; let us learn to do right. Let us look up to the sky for our honor, or for love of virtue, better yet for those of God almighty, faithful witness of our acts and judge of our faults. For me, I think – and do not think I am mistaken-, since nothing is more opposed to a good and free God than tyranny, that he reserves up there especially, for the tyrants and their accomplices, some specific penitence.

Probably talking of people who do not read to the end. People to whom those who are nothing are a means to an end. People who are something in the world, the turds in the crop, they think the means ; the means are the means to an end. Yet the elites of the poolcan not see so far. They want no reserve. Marx said that the unemployed were a reserve army : that is why the elite want none of them. Vagrancy was outlawed several times in Britain. Hobos and vagabonds will be punished for their idleness. Idle hands are the Devil’s playthings. To manage is from the hand. The strong hand that feeds you is also the hand of the tall policeman who drove you to the station to see the .mov file of your wife turning into a giant wound : bad compression, 104MB for barely a couple of minutes, 480p at best…. The heart wants what the heart desires : desire is another word for want. We call that a synonym. Repetition legitimizes, but it also satiates semantically. We use synonyms to avoid satiation. The heart of the husband, incidentally, desires to see his wife flowering into a giant wound in 4K, 60fps, wants to see it from every angle, inside the car [Careful with that Axe, Eugene], packets of pixels gliding smoothly in sharp focus, bits of brain and shards of glass shimmering flares into the optics, above the car, the slow creasing of metal, the delicate intertwining of the steering column around the bulk of the engine as the bonnet drifts off gently, particles everywhere, the fine pulviscular cloud of death, a puff of vanishing blood and microparticles, in a languishing lateral tracking shot, slowly caressing the seemingly frozen scene, seeing inside the cabin her head moving unnaturally far from the shoulders in very slow motion, propelled forward as the torso is pushed back by the wheel, she slides over the airbag like a ray over shifting sands. [Music stops abruptly with the sound of a vinyl scratch] Self-defense by anticipation. Models anticipate. Models are tall : it’s required. The clothes you pulled out from a bin were selected for you by the people in this room. Cerulean. All the different kinds of blues. Marjorie was wearing blue when she transformed into a giant bloody wound-shaped flowering ball of pain. The Devil is in the details. The Devil is in the desert. The desert is full of details. Grains of sand are so light as to be displaced by gentle winds. Dunes shift. The desert is a sea of small facts. There are two kinds of facts. Some facts are true, some facts are false. Rather, we say : the case, and not the case. Some facts are arte-, some facts are eco-. Grains of sand are ecofacts. Facts of nature if you will. Facts are artefacts. Facts of culture if you will. The world adds up to a desert of facts. A desert of details. The wind shifts the dunes, over time. Facts that are the case shift as easily as those that are not. They are not heavier by nature. A true fact is not heavier than a false fact. All facts weigh the same in the desert, which is nothing to the wind. Pulverized ruins are artefacts, maybe. The angel stands on the ruins, or something. Looking back. History blows like the wind through the facts of culture. The devil is in the details.The Devil is in idle hands. Marjorie’s hands were idle when she was turned into a giant wound. Marjorie did not react ; did not anticipate. Marjorie was drunk when she omitted her reaction. Marjorie suppressed the reaction. The reaction is unintented : it’s a reflex. Reflexes happen automatically. Echolalia happens automatically. Many criteria are in play to determine the worth of a painting. Contraceptives anticipate. Condoms anticipate. Marjorie’s husband should have worn a condom : Marjorie would not have been an irresponsible mother. Marjorie’s father should have worn a condom. Maginot lining. Anticipate. Reaction distance can be reduced by vigilance. Marjorie did not react. The climate is not the weather. There are models for the climate and models for the weather. Painters are certified. Vision is division. Nomos becomes anomia. All are legitimate to fight. War is the mother of all things. All can pretend to be a painter. Vision is a division. Echolalia happens automatically. Vision happens automatically. Save for the blind. Vision is division. Surprise : the repressed returns. Surprise : the father returns. Statistically speaking, fathers return. Life is statistics. Prediction : Marjorie will never meet her father. Never ever. Statistics make a picture of the world. History is written by statistics. Statistics predict. Statistically, heredity can be predicted. Hereditarily speaking, some problems can be prevented, easily. The French Revolution was a revolution of the kind : overthrow the established order, establish a new order, a new direction. The French Revolution happened over many years. The 14th of July is the most beautiful day in the History of France. Think some. The History of France is written by some of its revolutionaries. The General de Gaulle was a great man. The General de Gaulle was a great revolutionary. I got fired by my boss. I nailed Jesus to the cross. When my house will burn down, Pepsi will still be around. Sheets sticking with urine. Drunkards passing gas. Children dying of disease. Dyspeptic. Bill Cosby : the worst part is the hypocrisy. The 14th of July is when the Bastille was taken. The Bastille is where Sade was put. As we know, Sade was a major-league freak. The 14th of July was when they let all the freaks out. The 14th of July, in the year 1789. 150 years of mistakes later, finally, around 1933, the freaks were put back in. We can predict the risk of degenerescence, statistically. Any death before 120 is premature, believe me. Genes are involved in the degeneresence. Gene by gene, those with bad blood degenerate. Senescence. Obsolescence. Obsolescence will end the depression. History is written by people who wanted to end the depression. The depression is the winter. It happened in 1929. History is written by people who want to end the depression. History is written by people who think about the means to end the depression. History is written by people who think that obsolescence is the means to end the depression. More bulbs. Bulbs taken in Paris, went to Berlin. Anticipation of depression. Prevent the dark. Grain in Poland, went to Berlin. Prevent hunger. Obsolescence can be planned, in advanced. Anticipatorily speaking, bulbs can be made to last less. So can all devices. No device is our own. Devices carry their own designs. The designs are called : programs. The program fo certain bulbs is to commit suicide at a determined time. Not the maximum time. That would be depressing. Depression is because bulbs last too long. The French Revolution engendered 150 years of mistakes. The freaks were let out of their Bastilles. In 1933, finally : sterilize the freaks. 1933, more precisely : July 14th.. In Germany. Circle around the center. Origen cut off his genitals, supposedly. Depression is because undesirable elements last too long. Cutting cocks is the only solution : most humane. Blood is the essence of the law. Democracy is by the people. The people who are something in the world are the people of pure blood, the people who are performers. Subpar performers are nothing in the world, even when their blood is as white as snow. Though their sins are as scarlet. Genes are involved in depression. Depressing people must be removed to cure the depression. Depression means : you are a sad individual. Depression is an individual condition. Depression means : the community is weak, economically speaking. The community of the people. The community is bound by blood, which is the essence of the law. Depression is a communal activity. Depress together. Depression is a social condition. Antipodal activity. The individual and the community are at odds, at times. The individual is separate from the community, in all the ways that matter. In all the ways that matter, everything unfolds as if the individual was nothing in the world. Democracy is by the people, who are bound by blood. Vote now. Depression is very sad. It must be excised. Depression is a disease. Dyspepsically speaking, depression is hard to swallow. People who cause the depression are the freaks. Freaks removed, depression will be cured. Depression is caused by the brain. Brain removed, depression follows. Please follow : depression is caused by the brain and the people who are nothing in the world. Whatever you do, do it radically, and without a second look. Whatever you do, get rid of the causes. The cause of depression is the brain. The cause of depression is the people who are nothing in the world but a burden to the economic blood-bound community. In both cases, the treatment is the same. Depression takes time to treat. Time is the treatment. Time is of the essence. Time is money. Money is of the essence. People are written by the history that only reads the means. History is written by the people who remove the abscess. Some people are carbuncles. I hope the bourgeoisie will remember my carbuncles. Said Marx. Talking about his hemorrhoids. Carbuncles hurt. Carbuncles are like ingrown hairs. Going in the wrong direction. Carbuncles are like abscesses. Against history. Carbuncles must be excised. People who are nothing in the world are carbuncles. In 1933, 150 years of mistakes were ended on July 14th. Finally ended. Echolalia ends, eventually. History writes the people who think about the means to end the mistakes of history. Revolution is a mistake, teleologically speaking. Echolalia means repetition, to some extent. Revolution means to return. I will return. So does the moon revolve around the earth, bringing the tides. The Moon returns. The Moon is leaving, one inch at a time. Each revolution of the Moon seems the same, only seems. Eventually, the Moon will fly away, finally free. Revolution before revolution is a good idea. Returning is always good. Revolution is always good. It’s always good when the father returns. Repetition is legitimation. Echolalia satiates. Repetition normalizes, in a sense. Repetition satiates. Satiation means : loss of meaning for subsequent iterations. In this case. I am satiated. Said the person who ate recently. Meaning : I need not eat more, temporarily. In time, satiation dwindles. It’s predictable. People who are nothing in the world can be predicted, models help. Models are tall : it’s required. Models can help. Statistics stick. Statistics can help telling who should be removed. Probabilistically speaking, some degenerescences are more likely than others. Statistics say what is more likely. Retards procreate. Statistically speaking, retards propagate. Degenerescence is the cause for depression. Depression will be ended by obsolescence. Make bulbs last less long. Make retards last less long. Nothing personal. Retardation is personal. Retardation delays. Retardation concerns everyone. Delays are unacceptable. Get there, just in time, please Mr. Container. Lean management is from the lean hand. In the desert, bodies are built for scarcity. Elsewhere, bodies are built leanly. Some containers are faster than others. Some are stuck in Suez, in Lagos. Strikes, Houthis, futures markets demands. At times, it is more performant to keep the containers at bay. For days. It’s not about the way commodities flow. Nothing explains this in the markets. All the same. Don’t explain the markets. Markets make commodities flow. Commodities are objects. There are people who are objects in the world. Homos propagate, probably. Even those whose blood is as white as snow. Homos must be excised as well : it’s required. Degenerescence is caused by the homos. And so on. Homos are like bulbs. Bulbs can be made to last less long. Homos can be made to last less long. People can be made to last less long, anticipatorily speaking. Self-defense by anticipation. Don’t think about it too much. Defense against the long lasting bulbs. Bulbs that still work are sent to Berlin. Defense against the freaks and fucks. Defense against the Sades. Defense against the degenerates. Gene by gene, the community of blood degenerates. Blood is the essence of the law. Boetius was worried about tyrants. Blood degeneration is a problem for the nation. Gene by gene, blood degeneration must be prevented. Cut their cocks ! [Clap-Clap-Clap] Misery of the godless man. The godless man seeks God pre-emptively. When she became a giant flowering wound-shaped ball of pain, Marjorie had forgotten the day when she was out on the lawn eating pups and cheese, when her brother had cut his hand and she had gone inside to water the cut.
