It was clear that Dan was incredibly passionate about 401(k) investing.Il y a des morts qui n’attendent pas la transformation du corps en cadavre. Says Deleuze.
During the mayoral campaign, Mayor Emanuel had held an event at Microsoft that highlighted the importance of open government, citing open data at the heart of his vision for a more transparent Chicago.
Without money, there is no sustainability. As an ecosystem matures, it finds ways to adapt and grow. In technology and data, growing means capital.
On nous apprend que les entreprises ont une âme, ce qui est bien la nouvelle la plus terrifiante du monde. Says again Deleuze.
Repressed emotion producing an emotion.
Grief is a natural response to the loss of a loved one. For most people, the symptoms of grief begin to decrease over time. However, for a small group of people, the feeling of intense grief persists, and the symptoms are severe enough to cause problems and stop them from continuing with their lives. The persistent grief is disabling and affects everyday functioning.
Sur le plan économique, la mauvaise santé mentale coûte à l'UE l'équivalent de 3 à 4 % de son produit intérieur brut en raison des pertes de productivité qu'elle provoque et des charges supplémentaires qu'elle fait peser sur les systèmes de santé, les mécanismes sociaux, éducatifs et judiciaires.
Spreading over the civilized world. Thank you Tony.
Nothing is exceptional, nothing is optional.
Ask your family and friends how they would prefer to die. For me, I’d prefer to die in a sudden, brutal and wholly unexpected way, preferrably a way that destroys my body so that it may neither be buried or cremated. If remains remain, they may be burned and dumped anywhere.
Any death before 120 is premature. Word.

What kind of grieving does the death of a dog make ? A couple of milliseconds is all it takes, a couple of milliseconds.

An attitude towards death is what I look for in a strong character, and this is what this first draft lacks.

You are garbage, worthless. There are people who are nothing. What is that ? Nothing. Nothing at all. Here, let’s make a bracelet from it. What is that ? Absolutely nothing ! There are people who have succeeded and people who are nothing in the world at all.I’m worried about your financial situation. Sell yourself a little bit more. You have many qualities. You are a resource person. A human resource. A human person. A resource human. You have many quantities. Quantity is a quality. Quantity is equality. Democracy is an unknown quantity. Statistically, quantity is always more likely. Sell yourself. Delete yourself. Your financial situation is dire. Take drastic measures. Compromise. Market. Propagate. Spread throughout. Organize a coup d’état. Take interest. Be interested. Don’t get into debt. Debt is the prison Sell yourself. Make money. You gotta spend money to.... Sell yourself. Delete yourself. There are people who are nothing. The smallest crumb may devour us. These creatures.... There are people who are nothing. What is that ? The smallest crumb. It’s nothing, nothing at all. These anonymous creatures, they may seem insignificant to our eyes. There are people who are nothing. But the smallest crumb can devour us. Let’s make a bracelet from it.
Now you are alone again. Left to your own devices. Computer, n, sounds, bits, bytes. Left to your own devices. Your neutrality is meaningless; nothing has changed. Neutrality is nothing. You didn’t die. You didn’t go to hell. You didn’t suffer for a zillion years. Your tears were for nothing. There are people who are nothing in the world. The smallest crumb can devour us. Robert Crumb died in France. Grothendieck died in France. Sick of helping. Sick of what ? Sick of helping. Repeat after me.

To be alone is to be trapped, somehow. Freedom, mutual aid, a factor for evolution. Fitness is good. The fittest will survive. Tit for tat, the law of the jungle. Darwin died, Spencer died, Kropotkine died, for nothing. They are nothing in the world. Now they are nothing in the world. The smallest crumb can devour us.
To be a leader is not to follow the rules. Leadership seminars teach leadership. They tell you : to be a leader you must do this and that... False ! Incorrect ! Don’t believe everything you hear in other leadership seminars. To lead is to adapt. I’ve been in the Marine corps myself ! I know how to lead. I will lead you to lead. Don’t just boss me around. Lead me. Leadership seminar. Be a leader. You. Yes, you. You are not nothing in the world. People look up to – you. People look up above for guidance. Wittgenstein decided to look down at his feet.

With me, you’ll never be responsible again. It wasn’t me. Look above. Look above at the elites. In times of need, we look at the creme de la creme. Quantic cream is a scientific fact. This cream made me so young I had to sell my car. Don’t bite the hand that creams you. You can’t cream your own back. I had rejuvenated so much I was now a child again. Guerlain, creams. Can’t cream yourself, so don’t bite the hand that creams you. Managers delegate with their hands. I manage these people. These people are nothing in the world. Oops, a slip !

Marjorie died in a car crash on the way home.She had been drinking that night, after learning of her husband’s infidelities. Irresponsible mother. There are people who are nothing in the world. Marjorie is one of them. Marjorie is dead. Marjorie is nothing. They said she was splattered over the windshield, she was nothing. The smallest crumb can devour us. Marjorie was an irresponsible mother. She deleted herself. Please delete yourself. Marjorie went nowhere. In a million years, Marjorie will still be nothing. Now you are alone, Marjorie. Your neutrality meant nothing. To be alone is to be free. Now you are free, Marjorie. The Prime Minister of France is not nothing. People look up to the elites in times of need; Instead of drinking, Marjorie, you should have studied the behavior of the Prime Minister of France. He was not only the Prime Minister, but also the CEO of a big company. Don’t worry. You should have studied the behavior of Grace Kelly. Grace Kelly said :
I would like to be remembered as someone who accomplished useful deeds, and who was a kind and loving person. I would like to leave the memory of a human being who always behaved gracefully and in a manner befitting the law that ran through my veins.
— Princess Grace (Kelly)

Grace Kelly died then the car crashed. Big difference. There are people who are nothing in the world. Who is Marjorie ? Marjorie will leave no legacy. Marjorie was split into many different parts. Her bones were shattered, and her fleshes, ripped apart, she was dismembered and her skin was torn off, her body was splattered across the cabin into a giant mess, you could recognize no part of her; she was a giant wound.

In times of needs, people look up above for guidance. They need a strong hand. When he was watching the security of his wife flowering into a giant wound, the unfaithful husband felt a strong hand coming from above. Policemen are unusually tall. Once I was arrested by a seven foot man. The man hardly fit in the car. The strong hand that grips you, don’t bite it. Marjorie’s husband, the unfaithful husband, felt a big strong hand coming from above, he looked above for guidance. He looked above to the creme de la turds. Looping.

When James Dean said : take it easy driving on the highway, kids, the life you might save might be mine – people looked up to him for guidance. There were no more car crashes after that. When Marjorie became a giant wound in her car, she realized something. Realized. The world was beginning to flower into wounds. Someone throw me a random word, we’ll do a set. Realized. When Marjorie realized she was turning into a giant wound, Marjorie became nothing in the world. Marjorie was already nothing in the world when she became a giant wound. When Marjorie, who was nothing in the world, became a giant wound, she realized something. Her full potential. Finally, she had synthesized, syncretized, achived, realized, her full potential as nothing in the world. If you are a subpar performer, you are nothing in the world. If you are nothing in the world, you are invited by security to leave, out the door or out the window. If you go outside, there is no outside. If you go outside, you are splattered against the window. You cannot go outside. If you go outside, you become a giant wound. A giant wound is the true form of the subpar performer, who is nothing in the world. Marjorie loved bees, yes, but she was nothing in the world. Marjorie had to splatter against the window on her way out, and become a giant wound, to realize her full potential. Finally, the subpar performer who is nothing in the world can become a giant wound. The giant wound is the true form for that which is nothing in the world. Some people are nothing in the world. Two kinds : one goes outside, realizes there is no outside, splatters against the Windows and becomes a giant wound. The other, doesn’t go outside. If you don’t go outside, you can rise. Rise.

Tambora exploded in 1815. Napoleon abdicated in 1815. Abdication vs Deposition : Update Windows. Tambora exploded and killed a lot of people. Tambora is in Indonesia. Napoleon had not reached Indonesia when he abdicated. The explosion of Tambora was heard from Australia. Australia was a penal colony in 1815. Australia is where you send people who are worse than nothing. We send people who are worse than nothing to places that are worse than nowhere. Australia is pretty red. Also, there are red people living in Australia. Update : there is nobody living in Australia.Terra nullius. Australia is empty. Nobody is living in Australia. Nobody is living in the Louvre. In Australia, the explosion of the volcano Tambora was heard, even though it is very far. Sound travels slower over water. Australia is very far. If we send people who are worse than nothing to Australia, they may never return. To return. Nostos, Anabasis, Odyssey. History is written by people who have only read beginnings. To read a book is good, to finish it is better. The ends justify the means; history is written by people who haven’t read the ends. People who are worse than nothing were sent to Australia, which is red and where people who are nothing and who are red already live, but don’t own anything. The people who are red do not own the land on which they live. We can take the land. Australia is now Britain. We can take things. Napoleon took a lot of things before he abdicated in 1815. He didn’t want to abdicate, of course. He had to. Why ? Suggestion : Update Windows. Napoleon was forced to abdicate in 1815, Tambora the Indonesian volcano exploded in 1815. History is unavailable to guest users. Says Google. History is written by people who are not nothing, and who do not think about the ends. History is written by people who think that the ends justify the means. History is written by people who think about the means. History is written by the victors. Napoleon was forced to abdicate in 1815. You win some, you lose some. Clinkers. Slang. A product of inferior quality. You are a product of inferior quality. Marjorie was a product of inferior quality. Update : Marjorie still has no legacy. Napoleon has a legacy. Napoleon is not nothing in the world. That’s gonna leave a mark. The vocano Tambora, in Indonesia, exploded in 1815, killing a lot of people who were nothing. Killing nobody. Heard by people in Australia who were either red, and nothing in the world, or by people who were worse than nothing in the world, who had been brought to Australia by the people who are not nothing, who think a lot about the means. These means need to be brought to Australia : they are mean. In Australia, we will put all the mean people, who are worse than nothing in the world. When Tambora exploded in 1815, that was a big explosion that killed a lot of people. It released a lot of ashes into the atmosphere. Don’t worry about the atmosphere. Before, people used to not even know there had been dinosaurs around. When dinosaurs were around, the world was different, so the story goes. Dinosaurs were thought to have been put there by God. Dinosaur fossils, that is. To make the world look like it was old. The simplest solution is often the best. Dinosaur fossils were put into the ground by God to be discovered by humans who would understand that the world had been created so as to seem like it was much older than it really was. God is tricky. The world was created some 6000 years ago. The world was created a few seconds ago. The world was created 13.7 billion years ago. Says Google. The dinosaurs are all dead. All. All ? No. A few dinosaurs remain. We call them birds. Also some crocodiles. Most dinosaurs died 66 million years ago. At the time, the world was different. The sea was higher. But the continents looked similar to the way they did in 1815 when Tambora the volcano exploded. The reason the dinosaurs all died, or most of them, is a meteor. It crashed into Mexico. The meteor crashed into Mexico. That’s gonna leave a mark. The dinosaurs are nothing in the world ; when in times of need, nobody will look up to the dinosaurs for guidance. The dinosaurs all died because they were subpar performers. The dinosaurs became a giant wound. When the giant meteor (10km across) crashed into the Yucatán, many dinosaurs died. Many things that were nothing in the world realized their full potential and became giant wounds. They say the explosion of that meteor was like a billion times Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The explosions. Atom bombs. Cruel bombs. When the volcano Tambora exploded in Indonesia, many people who were nothing in the world died, the sound was heard on the Australian coast, because sound travels slower and further over water, and a giant pile of ashes was released into the atmosphere. Don’t worry about the atmosphere. When the meteor crashed into the Yucatán, in Mexico, many dinosaurs that were nothing in the world died, and the sound was heard around the world. Around the world. The sound of the impact was heard around the world. On the other side of the world of the Yucatán, where the asteroid that killed most of the subpar performing dinosaurs crashed, there is Indonesia, where in 1815 the volcano Tambora exploded, killing a lot of subpar performing Indonesians. The dinosaurs whose performance was par lived, and became birds. When people are in times of need, they look up to the birds, which are above them because they can fly. When the birds are flying in times of need, they look up to the clouds. They watch out for signs of asteroids falling. Watch out. Strap yourself to a train. Watch out. China will invade Taiwan for the territory. Napoleon wanted to increase his territory, but it became difficult to manage. Manage is from the hand. Suggestion : don’t say manage. Say gérer. Suggestion : don’t betray your language, which is French. This document is written in French. Napoleon was French. Napoleon was forced to abdicate. The French are subpar performers. There are people in the world who are nothing. Says the CEO of France. The CEO of France is part of the creme de la pool, up to which everybody looks in times of need. In times of need, I look up to the ceiling for guidance. The ceiling is an elite. Even above my ceiling is my neighbor. Be kind to your neighbor. The life you might save might be yours. My neighbor is part of the elitetoo. My neighbor plays his music so loud I can hear it through the ceiling. The asteroid that hit the earth 66 million years ago was so loud you could hear it through the planet. My neighbor is playing the songs of Avicii. Avicii killed himself in 2016. Avicii will leave a legacy. The legacy of Avicii is the songs that he made. Avicii liked to make songs. Avicii was a creator. A content creator. Nevertheless, Avicii must have been a subpar performer, because he became a giant wound in 2016, of his own accord. Marjorie became a giant wound. The songs of Avicii will be heard through time, through ceilings. The past echoes through the cracks. The sound is the past, sound travels slower over water. Sound travels further over water. The sound of the asteroid hitting the earth when it killed most of the subpar performing dinosaurs travelled across the earth. It spread out from the dead center. The dead center is in Yucatán. The epicenter. The asteroid that hit the earth and killed most of the dinosaurs, which were nothing in the world, emitted from its epicenter a sound that travelled across the earth and was heard in Indonesia. This chapter is about sound. Listen : the sound was heard in Indonesia. The sound of the asteroid was so loud it might have shattered car windows, had there been car windows back then. The dinosaurs had no need for car windows. This is how we measure sounds nowadays. I will also remind you that Marjorie became a giant wound when she was splattered against her car windows. Suggestion : if your car windows are shattered by the sound of an asteroid hitting the earth on the other side of the planet, do not worry about replacing them. Do not worry about the atmosphere. The asteroid that hit the planet released a lot of stuff into the atmosphere. While I was looking up what that stuff was, I was interrupted by my mother, I knocked down a glass of water, I cleaned up the water. My mother’s shoulder hurts her. Sound travels slower over water. I remembered that once upon a time, James Joyce was interrupted by a friend while he was dictating Finnegan’s Wake. He said : Come in. The phrase is in there. Somewhere. Lawrence Sterne realized that he had forgotten to write a preface when he was a third of the way through Tristram Shandy, so he just wrote one right there. Like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, the volcano Tambora, which exploded in Tambora in 1815 released a lot of stuff into the atmosphere. Don’t worry about the atmosphere. In 1816, there was no summer because of Tambora’s little outburst. Tambora ruined everybody’s summer. Tambora ruined summer for everybody. Tambora rudely interrupted the summer. Sumer is the earliest known civilization. Summer is when it’s hot and everybody likes it. Bodies are built for scarcity. Marjorie likes the summer. Liked. In the desert, there is scarcity. Deserts are often hot, even when it’s not summer. When it’s always hot, people don’t like it. People like the summer because it will end. History is written by people who never read the ends of books. History is written by people who think a lot about the means. The ends justify the means. People like the summer because of winter. People like the summer because it ends. Bodies are built for scarcity. People who are nothing in the world like the summer because it ends. If the summer didn’t end, people who are nothing in the world would not like it anymore. It would be bad. It would be a time of need. As we know, in times of need, people who are nothing in the world look up to the elitesfor guidance. The elites like the summer. The elites are the people who do not think about the ends. The elites do not like to think that the summer is ending. For the elites, summer never ends. Mary Shelley was the wife of Percy Shelley. Before she was the wife of Percy Shelley, her name was Mary Godwin. God is tricky. God buried the fossils so people would find them and think that the world was created so as to seem older than it really is. Mary Shelley was part of the elite. Don’t lose the thread : listen. People are born determined. Mary Shelley was an elite, like Grace Kelly. Grace Kelly was the wife of the prince of Monaco. She was a princess. Grace Kelly will leave a legacy. On her Wikipedia page, there is a section called ”Legacy”. Mary Shelley will leave a legacy. Left. That legacy is called “Frankenstein”. Marjorie will not leave a legacy. The legacy of Grace Kelly is grace. Try to be graceful at all times. Explosions. The volcano Tambora exploded in 1815, releasing a lot of stuff into the atmosphere, the next year there was no summer, summer is beloved because it ends, in the summer of 1816, the year without a summer, Mary Shelley joined her husband Percy Shelley in a Swiss villa called Villa Diodati. Don’t lose the thread, try to be graceful at all times. Explosions. The asteroid that killed most of the subpar performing dinosaurs created an explosion a billion times more powerful than than of Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Before we learned about the asteroid, we used to think that dinosaurs all died because they were subpar performers. The man who thought there might have been an asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs was Walter Alvarez. With his dad, Luis Alvarez, they found the place where the asteroid hit and demonstrated that it was an asteroid that killed the dinosaur, not just their subpar performance. Luis Alvarez won a Nobel Prize. Not for the asteroid. A man named Fritz Haber won the Nobel Prize in 1918 for developping the Haber-Bosch process. With another man, Bosch, of course, who was not awarded the Nobel Prize. The Haber-Bosch process is very useful for making explosives. Fritz Haber also suggested using chlorine gas in the trenches of World War I. Fritz Haber was Jewish. He converted to Christianity. In 1933, he had to leave Germany, because even though he had converted, he was of Jewish blood, and the blood is all that mattered to the nazis. The blood is the essence of the law. The law is a fluid. The jews need to write down the law because their blood is troubled by miscegenation, and so is their innate sense of law. The true German needs not the written law : the law is his blood, and he will do what is right and lawful. What the German does, by virtue of his blood, is right and lawful. Fritz Haber died in 1934. Later, the nazis used his methods to invent zyklon-B, with which they killed over a million Jews in gas chambers. By that point, Fritz Haber was nothing in the world. Luis Alvarez was not nothing in the world. He helped his son find the traces of the impact that struck Yucatán. Luis Alvarez won a Nobel Prize. Luis Alvarez worked on the Manhattan Project, inventing the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Luis Alvarez was on a plane called The Great Artiste that flew over Hiroshima when the city was bombed by the Enola Gay. Luis Alvarez worked on the atom bomb. Gay means happy. The bomb exploded over the city of Hiroshima. People who were nothing in the world were killed. Sound travels slower over water. Killed almost instantly, but not quite. When the asteroid that killed the subpar performing dinosaurs hit the planet, the sound produced travelled around the planet, and was heard in Indonesia. Sound travels in waves, propagating radially the epicenter. When it travels across the earth, it travels radially from the epicenter in Yucatán, but also across a globe : the sound meets itself. To the dinosaur living in Indonesia, the sound of the asteroid hitting the earth in Yucatán came several times from the same source, but from different directions. To the dinosaur standing at the antipode of the epicenter, on the exact point that is the other side of the planet, the sound would have appeared to be coming from all directions at once. Except that sound travels slower over water. Some directions are stronger than others. Dinosaurs who are nothing in the world now died from the shockwave, from the wildfires, from the falling debris. Then, the ashes that were released into the atmosphere formed a thick layer and blocked out the sun. Clouds block out the sun. No smoke without fire. McNamara suggested firebombs over Tokyo. Lowered the B-29s. Smoke is a kind of a cloud, to the extent that it blocks out the sun. The sun seems to be the size of a human foot. Starry night, no. Moonlit night, none of that. No light. For years after a certain asteroid came over, there was no light : blind earth. Ash is a kind of a cloud, the same way that smoke is as well. Surviving dinosaurs saw the ash falling from the sky, the acid rain. They saw the clouds laden with black. They saw the sun disappear. Phytoplanktons stopped synthesizing. All the subpar performers on the planet, wiped out in a matter of years, in the total dark, after a total bang. Out the door, out the window, the subpar performers will be transformed into a forest of flowering wounds. All these creatures may seem anonymous to our eyes, but the smallest crumb can devour us. The world was beginning to flower into wounds. Crash. Plenty of crashes. Body built for scarcity. After the crash, scarcity. Hardly any. Don’t ask about the atmosphere : don’t worry. The crash makes a desert somewhere. There are people in the world who are nothing at all. William Turner painted skies. Don’t worry about the atmosphere. William Turner was worried about the atmosphere. In 1815, before Napoleon was forced to abdicate, mount Tambora exploded in Indonesia. In Australia, they thought a gun had been fired nearby. Penelope wove in the daytime. The people in Australia were worse than nothing, it would not have surprised them that a gun had been fired. I was fired by my boss. I nailed Jesus to the cross. Mount Tambora released ash into the atmosphere, don’t worry about it. Next year, there was no summer. Summer is beloved because of winter. People who are nothing in the world love the summer because it ends. Mary Shelley was nothing in the world in 1815. In 1816, she went to meet her husband Percy, along with some friends, in the Swiss villa called Villa Diodati. That year, there was no summer. It rained. In the rain, they took opium, and said : let’s have a contest of who can write the scariest story. Mary Shelley wroteFrankenstein. Mary Shelley will leave a legacy. Update : Marjorie still has no legacy. William Turner saw the sky of fire : high levels of volcanic ash were released into the atmosphere, don’t even ask, in 1815 by Tambora, which William Turner saw the next year. Ash travels slowly across the sky. Ash eats the sun. Sharks eat the children of irresponsible mothers. Like Marjorie. I will not forget her. Don’t lose the thread, the thread of order. Discern the thread of order from the tapestry of chaos. These anonymous creatures seem nothing to our eyes. Penelope awaits. Weaving. Unweaving. Weaving. Looping. Making, unmaking. Opposites attract. People love the summer because of the winter. Mary Shelley left a legacy. The legacy is called Frankenstein, the monster, the doctor. Prometheus was chained to a rock and an eagle ate his liver. Daily. In my liver, there is scar tissue called fibrosis, blocking out the blood. The blood is the essence of law. The blood flows through the portal vein into the liver. My portal vein is blocked by fibrosis. Fibrosis is caused by hepatitis or alcoholism. Alcoholism is caused by being nothing in the world, among other things. Marjorie was an alcoholic. Marjorie was an irresponsible mother. Marjorie became a giant wound when her car crashed into another. Wounds become scars. Marjorie will become a scar. Marjorie will leave no legacy, no part of her can be recognized, all of her was become a wound. Irresponsible mother, subpar performer, window shopper, feudal retainer, will be shown out one way or the other. Out the door or out the window. She tried to exit through the window, she splattered on the windshield, all of her become a giant wound. Princess Diana died in a car crash. Grace Kelly died in her car then crashed. Then died. People who are nothing in the world look up to the creme de la turdsfor guidance, in times of need ; one can only assume this was for Marjorie a time of need. She looked up to one princess or another. Always act gracefully, is the legacy of Grace Kelly. Marjorie could not act gracefully. She exploded inside her car, splattered on the windshield. Flowered into a wound. The world was beginning to flower into wounds when all the dinosaurs were killed. Extinction event. Marjorie became extinct in an event that will not be remembered. Leave no legacy. Barking dogs never bite. Marjorie was an alcoholic and an irresponsible mother, whose son was devoured by the sun. [Playful video game music] Marjorie was devoured by the ether. The sun is the size of a human foot. The smallest crumb could devour her. Grace Kelly, Lady Di. Either. Marjorie tried to act gracefully, like Grace Kelly, but she did not have the decency to clean up after her. She exploded. Explosions. Always act gracefully. Always talk gracefully. Words are acts. Don’t say : she exploded inside her car and her bowels were spilled on the dashboard. [Graceful piano music, accompanied by a synthesized drumline] Say : She flowered into a giant wound. Grace. Flowers are graceful. Flowers don’t explode : they flower. [The piano music becomes repetitive, as if played by a broken tape machine] Marjorie realized her full potential. All individuals can realize their full potential. All the people who are nothing in the world can realize their full potential. Avicii realized his full potential. He deleted himself, leaving the legacy. The legacy remains. The suicide becomes the story, they say. False. The legacy remains. Blood is the legacy. Blood is the essence of the law. Go forth and have many children. Don’t let them breed with people of a different color. Mixed blood makes mixed law. Blood is the story. The legacy is the story. Australia is where you send people who are worse than nothing. I was interrupted again. I remembered during this new interruption who James Joyce was dictating Finnegan’s Wake to when he was rudely interrupted, said “Come in” and the person he was dictating to wrote that in. You’ll never guess who that person was, never. You are nothing in the world, do us all a service and rid us of yourself. Delete yourself. At the very least, do not bother us with your questions. Be alone, be to your own devices. Dan was so passionnate about 401(k) investing that he decided to build an app to help people do it better. Dan is an entrepreneur. Dan is nothing in the world, but he is a particular kind of nothing, a becoming-something. This kind of nothing is the crumb that devours us. The smallest crumb can devour us. Robert Crumb didn’t die in southern France : he lives there. Alexander Grothendieck did die in southern France. Dan is the nothing that devours us. Marjorie is still nothing in the world. Marjorie is a giant wound, a body-volume fibrosis, calcified tissue. Marjorie will never become something in the world now. Dan might. When Mary Shelley was nothing in the world, she had a daughter, named Clara, who died at three weeks. When Mary Shelley became something in the world, she was eighteen years old. Clara was nothing in the world, is nothing in the world. Before leaving for the summer to Switzerland, in 1816, the year with no summer on account of Mount Tambora’s eructations, Mary Shelley had had another child, named William. William died at three years. William was nothing in the world, is nothing in the world, but a giant wound. After returning from the summer without summer, Mary had a third child, another daughter named Clara. William is the name of Mary Shelley’s father. Clara is the name of Mary Shelley’s sister. Clara, Mary’s second daughter, died at one year. Clara was nothing in the world, is nothing in the world. Mary Shelley eloped with Percy Shelley, who was married, when she was sixteen. Irresponsible child. Irresponsible children are nothing in the world, they deserve their miseries. Mary’s miseries may have been the death of Clara at three weeks, the death of William at three years, or the death of her second Clara at one year. Irresponsible child. For defying decorum, your three children will be turned into flowering wounds. William is the name of Mary’s first son. William was born before Mary went to Switzerland in the year without a summer and wrote Frankenstein. Clara was pursuing the poet Byron, who had abandoned his own child, Ada Lovelace. Ada Lovelace translated an article about her friend Charles Babbage’s Analytic Engine. Ada Lovelace appended a series of Notes to her translation of the article. William is the name of Victor Frankenstein’s young brother, who is strangled to death by the reanimated Creature. There is no angle. It’s all part of the plan. Clara died of dysentery in Venice. William died of malaria in Rome. Clara was Mary’s stepsister. Clara pursued Lord Byron. Lord Byron was friends with Percy Shelley. When Mary Shelley became deeply depressed after the consecutive deaths of Clara and William, Percy wrote in his notebook :My dearest Mary, wherefore hast thou gone,
And left me in this dreary world alone?
Antipodal activity. Adapt, Arduously. Ada’s analytic ardor. Asteroid strikes in Mexico, volcanic eruptions in Indonesia…. No angle. Straight through the middle. I’m a straight shooter. Sound travels slower above water, travels further. Suggestion : in 66 million years, the shockwave of the asteroid that killed the subpar dinosaurs travelled through the cracks, through the dead center of the earth, emerged in Indonesia, spewing volumes of sunblocking ash into the atmosphere, don’t worry about the atmosphere, fashioning Turner’s blazing sunsets and various experimentations with extreme meteorological conditions, strapped outside a train, strapped to a mast, and giving birth, electrically inclined, to Frankenstein : a Creature, a doctor, a story, blood is the story, blood is the essence of the law, what then of a bloodless, reanimated corpse, what is this in the world ? Frankenstein’s creature is in the world. Update : Australia is where the people who are worse than nothing are sent, New Zealand is antipodal to Britain, Tasmania is where you send the devil, that which is worse than nothing, inverted : Suggestion : in Australia the world is upside down, topsy-turvy, changing rythms, people who have nothing in the world must look up to the turds in the poopthat float to the surface, the sunburnt cream, exposed to the benefits of the sun, enjoying permanent summer, the elites are above, as all know, the birds even look up at the stars for guidance. Suggestion : in Australia, down is up. Suggestion : sunscreen on yout foot. Quick tutorial : the earth is a sphere. Three D’s. Through thick crusts must the Australian convict, worse than nothing in the world, look for guidance, in order to direct the gaze to the British elite, civilization, always acting with Grace, turn their eyes through the planet’s core to look at Grace, crossing paths with other forces that bore the mantle, bore the core, other eyelines aimed so as to pierce the sphere clean through, straight line, polar inversion, a continuum of reverting magnetism, antipodal activity – Update : there is no planet, there is no tomorrow, history is written by those who never read the ends of books, if you’ve made it this far you might already be a loser, nothing in the world – in the world of tomorrow, antipodal activity will increase as the dinosaur’s demise returns, transfigured, clean through the other side – sound travels slower above water, ash travels slowly across the sky, history travels barely into the crusts, into the hardened tissues, fibrosed earth, earth flowered into a giant wound, Marjorie still unknown, antipodal activity increase in the global atmosphere, beware the meaning of the words : in the world of tomorrow, everything is nothing.
3. 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.4. Jesus is the Pain
Pain. Inhale. Nothing is lost, nothing is gained, everything is transformed into pain. It must be done at once. Pain makes you scream. Nothing : Marjorie became a big ball of pain. This is a long scream. Pain fractures : in the desert, bodies are broken by pain. Location. Activate location. The crazy thing was it felt like I was really in a place. We love cars. French people love cars. Hint : if it feels like you are really in a place, you are really in a place. We all love cars and we all want cars. Suggestion : if it feels like you are really in a place, then the place you are in is not the place where you feel like you are. There are two different kinds of pain. At least. Marjorie is not really in a place. Marjorie is nowhere. Marjorie is nothing. Warning : cars make big balls of pain, flowering wounds splattered over windshields. The world is covered with cars. Cells. Warning : the immune system is under attack. Cells rush to the wounds. Blood flows faster to cuts. Coagulate. Marjorie was in a car when she became a big ball of pain. Cars are good. Cars go quickly to their destination. You are free to move the destination further, maintaining the same travel time. Semantic satiation occurs when a word is repeated many times. Repetition legitimizes. One way experiment. Echolaliais the repetition of vocalizations made by another person. Repetition legitimizes. Repetition creates semantic satiation. Semantic satiation is a loss of content. Words contain content. Avicii was a content creator. Words repeated many times lose their content. Words repeated many times gain legitimacy. Repetition legitimizes. Words that have lost their content have gained legitimacy. Cash flow. Management. Human resources. And so on. If you travel faster, you may live further. You can travel the same amount of time as before. The asteroid that killed most of the dinosaurs caused winds upwards of 1000km/h. Marjorie was travelling at 80km/h when she became a big ball of pain. Safety distance. Marjorie did not follow safety distance. Safety distance can be divided into two parts. Reaction distance is the distance travelled between noticing a danger and beginning to brake. Reaction distance is compressible, relatively. Be alert. Don’t be drunk. Don’t take psychoactive substances. Be vigilant : reduce reaction distance. Distance is a factor of time. React faster, reduce reaction distance. The second part of the safety distance is the braking distance. Braking distance is the distance travelled between braking and being stopped. Braking distance is incompressible. Distance is a factor of speed. Travel faster, brake longer. Slick roads increase braking distance. Marjorie was drunk when she became a big ball of pain. The person in the other car survived. The person in the other car was not an irresponsible mother, feudal retainer, wound-shaped flower, subpar performer, window-shopper. Reaction time is normally one second. Marjorie did not react when she was turned into a giant wound. Marjorie’s reaction time is still not over. Until the end of time, Marjorie will not have reacted. Echolalia is the involuntary repetition of another person’s vocalizations. Echolalia is not good. If you have echolalia, see a doctor. The person in the other car’s reaction time was one second. The person in the other car was travelling at 65km/h. Consent to cookies. The person in the other car’s reaction distance was 18 meters. Meters are better than feet. The person in the other car’s braking distance was 23.8 meters. Braking is longer than reacting. Despite reacting, the person in the other car was severly injured, because Marjorie did not react or brake. The person in the other car was an elite of the turds. The person in the other car’s car was a Cadillac car. Marjorie’s car was not a Cadillac car. Marjorie did not react because Marjorie was nothing in the world. Marjorie became a giant wound. Becoming a giant wound, she was captured on tape. The tape was an image. The camera had no tape. The husband looked at the tape. There was no tape. There was an SD card. Marjorie becoming a giant wound was captured onto an SD card. Not really. Marjorie becoming a giant wound was automatically uploaded to a server. A police officer who was nothing in the world retrieved the image of Marjorie becoming a giant wound from the server onto an SD card. SD means Secure Digital. Marjorie becoming a giant wound weighed about 104 MB. MB means megabyte. A megabyte is a million bytes. A byte is eight bits. A megabyte is eight million bits. A megabit is a million bits. A megabyte is eight megabits. Speed is measured in megabits. Size is measured in megabytes. SD cards read and write at a given speed. The speed is given in megabits per second. The internet downloads files in megabits per second. Some security cameras have SD cards inside. Not the one that captured the picture of Marjorie becoming a giant wound. The husband’s wince as the hood folds. Security camera images are kept, but not forever. The internet is not for storing. The internet is for communicating. The cloud is for storing. Security cameras capture the lives of those who are nothing in the world, like Marjorie. The lives and deaths. The lives and deaths of those who are nothing in the world are not worth much. Sometimes, they can be bought and sold. Usually, they are deleted. The cloud is for storage, but the cloud has its limits. Clouds can’t store forever. Clouds have eyes. Walls of eyes, even. The eye is empty. Bataille wrote a story about eyes. Clouds have eyes. Many songs sing of eyes in the sky. Songs once sung of knights and knaves. A hundred devils trample me if old drunkards do not outnumber old doctors. Said Rabelais. Forgetting that drunkards of all kinds, young and old, outnumber doctors of all kinds. Drunkards are nothing in the world. Like Marjorie. Drunkards often become giant wounds. Are drunkards drunkards because they are nothing in the world, or are they nothing in the world because they are drunkards ? Doctors are often something in the world, but not always. Deleuze thought ill of doctors. Deleuze threw himself out the window. Deleuze had nine inch nails, to employ hyperbole. Deleuze was something in the world. Deleuze deleted himself. Deleuze was nothing in the world. Out the window or out the door. Marjorie was a window-shopper. Marjorie died splattered against the windshield. The windshield is a window. Marjorie did not respect safety protocols. Marjorie was not wearing her seatbelt. Irresponsible mother. In some countries, suicide is illegal, it is known. One better gauge the height critically, lest one end up jailed for life. Life is the punishment for those who want to die. In jail, wardens attempt to prevent suicide. In jail, many people who are worse than nothing commit suicide. Epstein was not nothing in the world. Epstein thought the summer would never end. Epstein was anelite of the society. In times of need, people who are nothing look up to Epstein, who is flying high above, among the birds. Birds are cleaned out of jets and planes, regularly. Americans like to shoot at planes from their lawns. Planes gather birds and bullets. Planes carry people who are nothing in the world. Jets carry people who are something in the world. Jets are like comets at sunset. Planes crash, sometimes. Jets crash, rarely. Comets crash, always. And so on. Oxeyes are a name for daisies. Daisies are called Marguerite in French. In French, Marjorie will rename herself Marguerite. Don’t lose the thread, listen : In French, Marjorie will be named Marguerite. Blood is the essence of the law. Miscegenation dissolves the blood, dissolves the law. People of mixed blood are nothing in the world. Marjorie has mixed blood. Marjorie is nothing in the world. Marguerite is not nothing in the world. Marguerite is not Australian. Marguerite did not become a giant wound in her car. Faits divers, say the French. Human interest story. News item. Marguerite did not die in the shape of a flowering wound. Bad paper : paper skin, paper thin. Oxeye is a name for the daisy. Daisy is a name for Marguerite. Marguerite was something in the world. Marguerite left a legacy. Update on Marjorie : null. Grace Kelly, Lady Di, all left legacies. Everyone leaves a legacy. You die twice : first when you become a flowering wound, second when people say your name for the last time. Marjorie is not fully dead, then. Marjorie still has no legacy. Marjorie still is splattered, still is dead up her windshield wipers. Croaks are for ravens. Listen : in French, Marjorie will be named Marguerite. Marjorie is nothing, Marguerite is something. The French say faits divers. Very well. Bourdieu said : « Le fait diversfait diversion ». Even a fuck like you can see the play. Notice the quotes. Notice the words. Marguerite talked of Grégory. Grégory was nothing in the world, is nothing in the world. Grégory became a giant wound in 1984 when he was four years old. Grégory was thrown into the Vologne like he was nothing in the world. Which is true…. The Vologne is a river. Dot dot dot is called an ellipsis ; the ellipsis indicates omission. The ellipsis has three dots. Always. Sometimes, the ellipsis has four dots. The Vologne is a river. Grégory, the four year old nothing in the world who became a giant wound, was thrown into the Vologne, which is a river. Netflix made a series about it. Bourdieu said : « Le fait diversfait diversion » Listen, you fuck : Diversion, you know what it means. Magicians make tricks. God is tricky. God puts fossils into the ground so that we would think the world is much older than it really is. You can get the feeling that you’re really in a place. There was a firefly in the room, it landed on my finger, and the crazy thing was : I felt it. Suggestion : if you feel like you are really in a place, the place you are in is not the place you feel like you are in. Grégory was murdered by the Crow. Ravens are bigger than crows ; they have bigger beaks. The Crow wrote to the parents of Grégory :I hope you will die of sadness chief It is not your money that will give you your son back Here is my vengance poor fuck
Translation by yours truly. Grégory was turned into a giant flowering wound and thrown into the Vologne. Irresponsible mother, said Marguerite. The children of irresponsible mothers are eaten by sharks, or crows. Crows are clever. Whales are clever. Crows eat carrion. When people who are nothing see a body, they come closer. Carry on, nothing to see, say the police, who put yellow tape around the body. Grégory became a body. Grégory was killed by his irresponsible mother, spit on her. Marguerite spat on her. Grégory was four, devoured by the smallest crumb. The smallest crumb. There are people who are nothing in the world, like Grégory, and people who are worse than nothing, like Grégory’s mother, who is also a drunkard. Probably. Those people are sent to Australia. Marjorie was not sent to Australia. Marjorie was born in Australia. Still, Marjorie was nothing in the world. Blood is the essence of the law. Marjorie had mixed blood. Blood is red and so are the people from Australia. Marjorie had red blood of both kinds. Red blood of many kinds, splattered over the dashboard, running down the windows. Marjorie became a giant mixed bloodstain, inevitable end for a product of miscegenation. Miscegenation is the mixing of different bloods. Blood is the essence of the law. Germans of pure blood act lawfully. Those whose blood is muddied need to write down the law lest they forget it. Germans of pure blood need not read the law : they make it. We write things down so we may forget them. The internet is a space for communication. The internet is a space for writing down all the things. When we have written all the things, we may die. Have you ever posted a naked picture on the internet ? Congratulations, you are immortal. Not really, though. Everything is stored, and everything is lost. The more you store, the more you lose, you may say. Grégory was turned into a giant wound before the internet. Grégory was turned into a giant wound with fairly pure blood. Grégory had decent blood, I bet. But Grégory was still nothing in the world. Dad was a boss. Nevertheless. Don’t lose the thread, remember, record, listen lest you lose : Blood is the essence of the law. Record everything. Time everything. Time is of the essence. Blood is the essence. Thought some Germans, way back when. Germans of pure blood act lawfully. But pure blood does not make someone something in the world. Subpar performers are nothing in the world, whether their blood is pure or not. Performance trumps blood, one may say. Grégory was nothing in the world despite his good blood, because he was a subpar performer. Performance is a factor of time. Do the same thing quicker. If you do the same thing quicker, you do more in the same time. That means you are a par performer. The Crow was a par performer : he was never caught. Grégory was murdered by the Crow. Crows are clever. Their brains are big and complex. Like whales. Whales must go to the surface periodically : they are mammals, after all. Whales also have spouts, but that is a story for a different time. Once upon a time, Grégory was turned into a big ball of pain by the Crow, and Marguerite spat on Grégory’s mother. Grégory’s mother was put to the law. No one is innocent in this dog eat dog world. In the world, all are guilty. Guilty by proxy. We all descend from sinners. Grégory’s mother was a sinner too, I’m sure. Grégory’s mother was nothing in the world. Marguerite said that she killed her son. Maybe. Even so, the law said no. Nobody is found innocent, says the law. Case dismissed, says the law. In French, the law says : Non-lieu. Location. Activate location. Everything occurs in a location. Hint : If it feelslike you are in a place, the place you are in is not the place you feel you are in. Hurricanes. Hurricanes devastated Puerto Rico. Zuckerberg feelslike he went to Puerto Rico. Disaster. Many people who were nothing were killed in Puerto Rico, which is a place. Many people who were nothing were killed by Tambora. Many people who were nothing were killed by Tracy, which devastated Darwin in 1974. Cyclones have eyes, where nothing much happens. Nothing much happens in the eye. In fact, the eye is a zone of low pressure. The dead center. The epicenter. Dinosaurs who were in the dead center were killed right away by the asteroid that hit Yucatán. At the time, Yucatán was underwater. Sound travels slower above water. There are creatures that live at the bottom of the sea. In the desert, their bodies are built for scarcity. Hardly any oxygen, certainly : no light. Blind zone. The abyssal plain is populated by the blind. Some of them glow, it is known. Phytoplanktons are important. Phytoplanktons died massively because of the darkness, among other things, after the asteroid hit Yucatán. Fait diversmakes a diversion. Bourdieu said that. There are false problems. Most of philosophy must be thrown in the trash. There are people who write, and people who feellike they write. Like Sartre. And Barthes. Irresponsible mothers are worse than nothing : their children are devoured by the sun, the crows, the sharks. Grégory’s becoming a giant wound was a diversion, it’s true. One month after Grégory became a giant wound a French man killed two Turkish men. The month after that a police commissioner beat an Algerian man and electrocuted him ! Well, well, well. The commissioner’s house was blown up. A newspaper interviewed the Algerian man. Their windows were shattered. The FN said that the commissioner should not be put in jail. Irresponsible, irresponsible law. Blood is the essence of the law. The Algerian man had mixed blood, bad sense of law, of course. The commissioner knew what was right. The German’s actions are lawful, so long as his blood is pure. FN means : Front National. A few days after the Algerian man was electrocuted and beaten up, ten kanaks were murdered by the French in New Caledonia. War is the mother of all things. Quick recap : New Caledonia was a penal colony, where are sent the people who are worse than nothing. Communards were sent there. Communards are people who did the Commune. No time to explain what that was. Doubted authority. Suffice to say they were people who were worse than nothing. Incidentally, New Caledonia is not so far from Australia, where the British sent their people who are worse than nothing. Incidentally, there were already people in New Caledonia when it became French : these people were nothing, they didn’t own the land. Indents in the latch bolt make the lock lacking. These people are called the kanaks. They are red. Their blood is red. Blood is the essence of the law. Kanak blood is bad. Kanaks cannot claim ownership of land, of course. The French can. And they did. They do. Candidando. Don’t worry about it. New Caledonia is full of Kanaks. Less so now. Many were excused. Subpar performers. Kanaks were upset. They took back some land in the 1980s. The French were upset at this : Kanak are not allowed to have land. Just because you have lived somewhere always doesn’t mean…. Ellipsis. The French retaliated in kind : they turned ten Kanaks into giant wounds in december 1984. A few months after Grégory was turned into a giant wound. All deaths are equal, of course. So ten deaths is ten times more than one death ? Let’s not have contests. Life is statistics. Statistics are means to an end. History is written by people who do not read the ends. The people who think about the means think about statistics. [Stalin quote], apocryphal. The fait diversis a diversion. 1984, among other things, is a year when the FN began to gather steam. James Watts, who invented the steam engine, was saved by his entrepreneur, capitalist friend Matthew Boulton. FN means : Front National. The man who shot two Turkish men a month after Grégory was turned into a giant wound liked Hitler. Hitler was the leader of the nazis. No time to explain. Suffice to say Hitler thought that blood is the essence of the law. The man who shot the Turkish men liked the FN. The commissioner who electrocuted and beat an Algerian man liked the FN. And so on. The History of France is eternal. Joseph was a cuckold. Napoleon, Joan of Arc, Charles de Gaulle. The History of France is eternal. The History of France is written by people who haven’t read the ends of books. To read a book is good, to finish it is better. Joan of Arc was burned, and Napoleon was exiled. Don’t talk about de Gaulle. Pain fractures. Vision is division. Pain shatters the body. The body politic is composed of people who are nothing in the world. Pain divides. I was fired by my boss. I nailed Jesus to the cross. Reaction distance is compressible by vigilance, braking distance is not.
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.
6. Point de côté
Napoleon had hemorrhoids. As did Marx. As did Elizabeth Taylor. As did Marilyn Monroe. To confirm the diagnosis, a colonoscopy is required. Only Elizabeth Taylor may have had one : the colonoscope had not been invented before 1968. George Clooney probably had many colonoscopies. Elizabeth Taylor married and divorced Richard Burton twice. Elizabeth Taylor did not die in a car crash. Elizabeth Taylor was friends with James Dean, who did. Dogs are our friends. Elizabeth Taylor left a legacy. Grace Kelly left a legacy. The legacy of Grace Kelly is called : grace. Elizabeth Taylor left a legacy. The legacy is called : The Flintstones. In the 1960’s, there were The Flintstones and The Jetsons. The Flintstones are in the past, and The Jetsons are in the future. The Jetsons work only for a few hours every week thanks to all the robots that do their chores. In the future, robots will do our chores. People who are something in the world don’t like to think about the ends. The elite is what we call the people we look up to in times of need. For people who are nothing in the world, all times are times of need. In the desert, bodies are built for scarcity. With a margin, that is. A stock for crisis. In the desert, bodies live very slowly, usually. Not spending much energy. Energy is the currency. The Jetsons have unlimited energy. They live in a loop, endlessly. The Flintstones behave like us. They have cars. They commute. In ancient times, life was predicated on cycles. The Flintstones live in a loop. As do the Jetsons. In the future, life will be a loop. In France, there was a revolution. At that moment, revolution meant : jettisoning the old order. In with the new. The arrow of time, linear history, progress. A repressed motion forwards, towards the future. Revolution meant: overthrow and instate, clean slate for a modification of the status quo. Revolution has another meaning. Celestial bodies complete their revolutions, isn’t it. A revolution is a cycle, cosmically speaking. In ancient times, people were nothing in the world. Subpar performing civilizations. Generations of forgotten nothings. Dissolved before history, their ashes make our soap today. These fragile ghosts had no hope that their children would live better lives than them. Our pathetic ancestors were as inadapted as the dinosaurs, dull hunks shuffling the continents for millennia without change. No progress. No vectors. Only revolution, astronomically speaking. This is the meaning of The Flintstones, whose world resets every 22 minutes. Elizabeth Taylor was in The Flintstones, the movie. Spielberg produced that movie. It came out after Jurassic Park. As we all know, Jurassic Park came out the same year as Schindler’s List. Schindler was sad that he couldn’t have saved more. Eichman was sad that he couldn’t have killed more. The Flintstones have a pet dinosaur. The Jetsons have a robot maid and a dog. The dog is normal. The dinosaur acts like a dog, and is pink. The dinosaur’s name is Dino. The dog’s name is Astro. Smaller dogs die later. Dinosaurs get cancer. Revolution means to return. No progress. Progress can occur for 22 minutes. The Jetsons also live in a 22-minute loop. As we know, no epistemological observations can be made of the future. The Jetsons suggests that it too will be governed by cyclical time. Life is loops. Loops intertwined make progress. Maybe. Loops disparate make cycles. Nothing is lost, nothing is gained. People who are nothing live in loops. The world resets every day. The day is 22 minutes. People who are nothing in the world live in the past. Fibrosis causes varices. Varices are veins that end inside the oesophagus. History is written by people who do not live in loops. People who are nothing in the world work from 9 to 5. We call that the business day. There is also the business week. If you send a package on friday, don’t expect it to arrive in 2-3 days. It says right there : business days. There are different kinds of days. Embedded loops. In times of need, the dinosaurs did not think to ask the clouds for guidance. In ancient times, history was not written. People in the past are disappeared. There is no record of them. History is written by people who don’t want to disappear. Marjorie will disappear. You die twice, they say. Marjorie has died once. When she poured water on her brother’s hand, the other brothers were watching. Before that, Marjorie had been enjoying the sun. Marjorie had not applied any cream that day. No cream on the feet. Feet are the size of the sun. Hands, on the other hand…. The strong hand that slaps you is not the hand that creams your back ; nevertheless, you better not bite it. Several strong hands are needed to lower a coffin into the ground. In the desert, bodies are built for scarcity. Bodies built for scarcity carry something extra. A reserve. Marjorie had reserves. Marjorie had been scooped up from the car, you could not have recognized her ; all of her had become a giant wound. Wounds become scars. Scars are made of hardened dead tissue. Marjorie’s brother was wounded when Marjorie was eating cheese on the lawn. He sliced his hand with a knife. It made a wound. Wounds become scars eventually. Marjorie will become a giant scar in that box. Camus has become a giant scar. As has Grace Kelly. The scar means : dead, hardened. All that remains of dinosaurs are scars. The fossil record is a forest of scars. The fossil record is incomplete ; it will stay that way. The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs made a crater. Craters are not like wounds. Blood is the essence of the law. The brother’s hand at the funeral : scarred. Marjorie was an irresponsible mother. Marjorie lived in Darwin. Darwin was betrayed. Darwin meant a coral. Darwin was not nothing in the world. He sailed around on the Beagle,which is a dog. Smaller dogs die older. Kropotkine saw Darwin disfigured, he went to the desert. In the desert, bodies are built differently. The desert is where it never rains. At the bottom of the sea, it never rains. It snows. Marine snow is the name given to the biological debris that fall from bountiful layers of the sea, down to the abyssal plain. On the ocean floor, dead whales crash softly. Braking distance is incompressible. Braking distance is a factor of speed. Water slows the fall. It doesn’t rain in the ocean : it snows. Large objects don’t crash violently in the ocean. They crash gently. Polychaetes drift aimlessly. They are blind, among other disabilities. Worms are blind. Joyce was almost blind. Borges was. Osedax means bone-eater. Osedax are a kind of Polychaetes. Osedax eat the bones of dead whales. Soft underbellies. Whales have soft underbellies. Dogs have soft underbellies. Underbellies are a weak spot. The soft underbelly of Australia is Darwin. During the war, Darwin was bombed a lot. In 1974, a cyclone devastated Darwin. Darwin is on top, next to Indonesia, where Tambora exploded and was heard like a gunshot. The soft underbellies of books occur in the middle. The middle of a cyclone is called the eye. The middle of a volcano is called the magma chamber. The middle of things is the epicenter. The middle of the earth is a magma chamber as well. Magma is liquid. Magma seeps through the cracks like history. In the desert, bodies are built for scarcity. Marine snow is frequent, but it is frugal, and must be shared. In the desert, bodies are built more friendly. Marjorie was born when Tracy devastated Darwin for Christmas. Darwin never visited Darwin. It was named that way by a sailor of the Beagleon a subsequent trip. Tailors will weave and be rich. Mine will. Canaries are brought down in the mines. In the dark dreary mines. Where the ages shall roar. And the stream of their blood runs as black as the coal. Clean slate is nautical. Blank state is from latin : tabula rasa. People who are nothing are born nothing. People who are nothing are empty. People are born with no content. Content fills containers. The clean slate has been wiped. After a watch, the slate is cleaned. Perhaps some data escapes the cleaning. Clean the coal. The blank state has no previous content. Are people clean slates or blank slates ? People who are nothing are blank slates. Clean slates carry their past with them. God is tricky. God gambles, statistically. Darwin thought that the red people in New Zealand, which is near Australia, were primitive savages. He also thought similarly of people who lived around the Horn, which is what we call the southern tip of America. In the desert, bodies are built for scarcity. The desert is where the conditions are extreme. It may rain or not in the desert. In some desert, it snows. Darwin thought all humans were from one ancestor. Darwin thought the difference between animals and humans was bigger than the difference between the lowest humans and the highest human. Some humans are higher than others, it’s true. There are people in the world who are nothing. The smallest crumb can devour us. The devoted are devoured by God. God is tricky. God played tricks on us. God thought the dinosaurs were subpar performers. We better perform. God punishes subpar performers. God is a great manager. With God, you will never be responsible. Manage is from the hand. The hand of God touches everyone. It is a gentle and firm hand, and invisible. Obsolescence will end the depression. More bulbs can be sold if bulbs last less long. More bulbs, more money. More money, no more depression. Fewer problems. Depression is a problem. Apathy is a problem. Anhedonia is a problem. Problems must be treated if they persist, chronically. Depression causes sadness. Depression is a disease. Depression can be treated, medically. Depression is a personal circumstance. Subpar performers are afflicted with depression. They are punished, it’s that simple. Depression is personal. History is statistical. History is nothing personal. Depression is statistical. People who are nothing in the world throw themselves out the window when they recover from depression. Whites are dangerous when they are cornered. Beasts are dangerous when they are cornered. Whales are rarely cornered : the ocean is the open. Animals live in the open. White whales are dangerous. Whiteness is an important chapter. Achab was a good guy. Achab was cornered. Achab was white. Achab was dangerous. Achab followed his dreams. Never let anyone prevent you from following your dreams. Dreams are the means. Dreams do not end : they are interrupted, rudely. History is written by people who follow their dreams. People who follow their dreams do not think about the ends. Dreams don’t end : they are interrupted. While dreaming, it feels like you are really in a place. Hint : if it feels like you are really in a place, the place you are in is not the place you feel you are in. Dreams are messages from the deep. It was like a beautiful dream. Dream logic dominates. Dream big. People who are not nothing dominate. Intellectuals dominate. Echolalia legitimizes. Echolalia satiates. In times of need, people who are nothing look up to those who dream big. Those who dream big are leaders. Leaders are dreamers. Analogically speaking, establish correlations. Dreams are recursive. Statistics stick. Did the dude dream he was a butterfly or what. History is written by statistics. Dreams within dreams are good. This is called abstraction. Languages are dreams. Languages make pictures with words. Languages are more or less abstract. Assembly is not very abstract. Java is very abstract. It’s a continuum of abstraction. The more abstraction, the quicker it is to make. Languages manage memory. Memory is from the hand. Abstract langages manage memory automatically. Whose hand ? Manage is from the hand. The strong hand that manages is the one you want pulling you up from a cliff that towers above a river of snakes. Languages are like dreams. There are languages inside languages. Languages are recursive, like dreams. There are langages that intersect, mostly. When langages intersect, it is good practice to call attention to it with italics. Point de côté. When whites are cornered, they are very dangerous. When they are the weakest, the beasts release whatever reserve of energy they store. The reserve is for emergencies. To be cornered is an emergency. In the desert, bodies are built with some reserve. Some reserves are useless in the face of danger. In times of need, one calls upon the reserves : often they are insufficient. Marjorie’s reserves did not save her. Bodies of the people who are the cream of the societyhave no reserves. Reserves are for those who are nothing in the world. In the clouds, bodies are lean. Too much mass won’t fly. Bird bodies are lean. Managers are lean. Management is lean. To manage is from the hand. Dinosaurs bodies had too much reserves, they were subpar performers. They stood no chance. To be lean is to be fast. The person who lives faster lives more. If you travel faster, you may live further. The person who lives infinitely fast lives forever. Any death before 120 is premature. Summer doesn’t end for those who live fast enough. When whites are cornered, they are more dangerous than ever. To have reserves is to be slow. Slow things are nothing in the world. The smallest crumb can devour us. Fast is a state of mind. Slow is a state of body. Bodies of creatures in the desert are slow, because they are built for scarcity. Lizards are slow. Snakes are slow. And so on. Lizards and snakes are fast, at times. Lizards and snakes are fast when they must. In the desert, everything is about energy. Fast takes a lot of energy. Slow takes less. Speed is not unlimited. Normally, nothing can travel faster than light. Information can be carried negatively. Think of the ellipsis. Three dots : omission. The fait divers makes a diversion. Imagine the following situation : a hand is held before a light. On a wall behind, it casts a shadow. The shadow is where the light doesn’t go. The shadow is larger than the hand. As the hand gets closer, the shadow gets bigger. So far, so good. The hand moves. The shadow moves. The shadow moves faster than the hand. Imagine a sensor. A light sensor. Imagine that the hand is large, say 10km. Meters are better. Kilometers are better. The 10km hand casts an even larger shadow on the plain. The shadow covers the territory. The hand blocks out the sun from high above. It takes a foot to block out the sun, at least. A hand won’t, on the other hand. The shadow is much larger. The sensor is in the shadow in the territory. The 10km hand moves fast. The shadow moves faster. If the hand were to move at some fraction of the speed of light, the shadow would move…. No ? The hand has five fingers. Five or six. Feet are the size of the sun. Fingers come out of the base. Five or six guys speak to the manager. They create a shape where zones are full and zones are empty. Sensors can be placed on the territory inside the shadow of the fingers. Five or six guys are sensors. As the hand moves, they turn on and off. Information is made of bits. Censors enumerate : it’s always been that way. Eight bits makes a byte. String enough bytes together, you got yourself a whole 104000000 bytes, just enough to contain several minutes, three or four, of color video, showing the image of a woman becoming a giant flowering wound inside her car at 80km/h. Three or four, maybe five or six. You can see the person in the other car’s airbag protecting them. Airbags filled with air protect the traveller. You can see Marjorie sliding over the airbag, splattering against the windshield. You wince. She is a mother. You don’t want to be a father. She is an irresponsible mother. You are not a father. To be a father is to be oppressed. To be a father is to be depressed. Some guys weren’t born to be fathers. Fathers get next to nothing for their woes. Fathers pay. It costs to be a mother. It costs to not be a mother. Have a child. There are millions of people in the world.7. Thread faster
Return, faster. Stories of returning are abandoned by those who think about the means. The means is about now. Middle managers think about the means to get higher. The ends are higher. Higher managers think about the means. The ends are omitted. The means to return : boats, mostly. I will return. Penelope awaits. Weaving, faster and faster. Blood flows faster into wounds. Blood is the essence of the law. There are people whose blood is nothing. The nostos of Anabasis is as such : soldiers return. Soldiers are nothing in the world. Armies are something in the world. Napoleon’s armies are in his sleevies. Exhausting. Exhausted. Fifty. And a few crumbs. Well, not all go all the way down. A few days. Bile. Each attempt goes a bit further. Almost a hundred thousand. Get to it. Stall. Stalin. 100001. Return later. Fifty-two rejections.[Time passes]
Optically speaking, we need to perform faster ; to perform means to do the same with less. Vision is division. If possible, attempt to do more with less. This beautiful beach is an illusion of pixels. Windows onto the speculative future. As we know, no epistemological claims can be made about the future. None that stick. Statistics stick. Statistics claim the future. Statistics claim to know how many nobodies will see that beach with their ocular apparatuses. Stereoscopically. Statistics claim how many. Statistics claim the means. Out of X, how many Ys. Impossible. Fathers return, sometimes. Terrorists do a lot. Terrorists are top performers : terrorists are frowned upon. Rarely, though not never, subsidized, they must think the ends and the means. Terrorists have ends. Terrorists do more with not a lot. My filmmaker friend said : making a movie is like making a terrorist attack. Minimal budget, maximal impact. God is a great terrorist, all things being equal. A single asteroid is not that much. God is a top performer. For the whole planet, that small of a rock. It was a big asteroid, it’s true. But God is greater. God is a great terrorist. He terrorized the dinosaurs. He terrorized the birds. To this day, birds are terrorized. They look up to the sky in times of need. Speculatively speaking, God is in the sky. Specularly speaking, statistics are informative. They contain high informational value. Statistics are top performers. Statistics will stick around. Iridium is a metal from space. Alvarez had a Nobel. The father. The father always returns, eventually. One day, you look at yourself in the mirror and a giant asteroid, 10km across, lands on top of your face, squashing you like a bug. Return. To sender. We used to all be together. We thought the summer would never end. The braking distance is incompressible. The atmosphere is frictious : it slows down the fall. Fall faster, crash harder. Water slows the fall much further. It doesn’t rain in water. Unqualifiable acts. Asteroids don’t fall : they return. We will return to this later. In the meantime, consider the liver. The liver lives for a hundred years, more if you steal some fire. The liver is strong : the liver is the seat of anger. And courage. My liver is diagnosed, endoscopically speaking. A small camera down the throat is all it takes. Fibrosis makes scar tissue around the portal vein. Blood flow is blocked by scar tissue. Blood flows faster towards wounds. Smaller veins unfold, towards the oesophagus. The veins are called varices. Varicella is a name for chickenpox. God is tricky : the varices fill with blood. Engorged, they linger behind the liver. Around the liver. Blood is the essence of the law. Eventually, varices may rupture. A revolution has two meanings. One meaning means change, brutal, sudden and violent change that leaves no stone unturned, clean slate, another means to return, like the soldiers, the fathers, the husbands and brothers (thank you for your service), like the celestial bodies, the planets, the stars, and so on, to return cosmically to the initial order, to reset entirely, blank slate. When varices rupture, blood flows abundantly. Blood revolves. Cells revolve. Hells revolve. Blood is not needed in hells. A system of hells, embedded within other hells. Dante was the sixth best poet of all time. In his time. And after. His own estimation. Kropotkine met the watchmakers. Anarchists cause chaos. Ovid was a better poet than Dante. Said Dante. Ovid wrote that the world was created from chaos. Chaos is something. Dissolved and effused, transformed into soap, the unknowns, the knowns, all permutations and combinations thereof. Blood flows one way or the other. Watchmakers make time. Time is of the essence. Time is money. Time is a currency. The person who lives faster lives more. This is primary school math, do the math : do the same but quicker. This means, to do more in the same amount of time. Dense work. This means, you are a par performer, probably on track to become the cream of the prop. Kropotkin was convinced by the Swiss watchmakers. The Swiss are the best watchmakers. Swiss blood flows in time. The unrest wheel must be balanced. It’s a matter of synchronization. Synchronize blood and time. Blood flows faster to the wounds. In times of need, when the whites are weaker, they are more dangerous. People born higher have better blood than others. They run longer. A matter of cells, maybe. The world was created from chaos. Chaos is noise. That means : it contains no information. Chaos has no signal. The hand of God must separate the thread of order. God is tricky. God is a top performer. God is a great terrorist. God must separate the signal from the noise. What children say is noise. What animals say is noise. Animals, children and the dying see the world in the open. Said Rilke. The lovers too. The dying are in love. Lovers die, continuously. In the valleys, the Swiss watchmakers keep the time. Kropotkin was convinced by the anarchists. The anarchist press is better. The anarchists are synchronized with time. The anarchists are Swiss. The anarchists are watchmakers. Blood is the essence of the law. The person whose varices rupture may drown in blood. Energy dwindles. We will return later. Stronger. Better performers. Go to Mars awhile and return, victorious. History is written by people who are going to Mars very soon. History will not remember guest users. History is unavailable to guest users. Varices are ruptured. Blood fills the oesophagus. Braking distance is incompressible : the faster you go, the longer. Stopping distance is braking distance plus reaction distance. Reaction distance is compressible by vigilance. Marjorie was not vigilant. Marjorie did not react. Marjorie became a flowering wound. Death is exceptional. Death is optional. Death is nothing exceptional. Any death before 120 is exceptional. History is written by people who live 120 years. Retirement must occur later, so as to be better performers. Work harder, live longer, work faster. Old drunkards outnumber old doctors. Vagabonds are nothing in the world. Idle hands are the Devil’s playthings. Idle hands spin their thumbs, weave and unweave. Penelope is idle. Penelope is a mother. Penelope is not quite nothing in the world. Penelope weaves. Unweaves. Waits. Penelope is waiting forever. Penelope is waiting for somebody to read the ends. Lolita is a slut, Gatsby a great man, Achab a great man, and so on. Penelope was a slut, probably. Statistically. Time’s flies. Quantity is a quality. Marjorie had no quality. Marjorie was an unknown quantity. People who are nothing are unknown quantities. Silent majorities. Beasts are silent : they have the majority. Democracy is an unknown quantity. Update on Marjorie: no legacy. Legacy update. Update : Marjorie has no legacy. Will you make me the happiest Windows in the world and update with me ? Will you be my updatee ? Say yes. Anyone object ? People who are nothing are objects. Marjorie forgot about the pups and cheese, forgot about the cut. In the cut are many stories. Omissions. Cuts are like ellipsises. In the desert, bodies are built for scarcity. Quantity is an unknown quality. Blood gives menschen their quality. Purity is a quality. Statistics stick. Fathers return, statistically. Mothers are irresponsible. Mothers are turned into flowering wounds. Fathers dance the night away. Fathers are great terrorists : minimal means, maximal impact. The impact is a person. The means are reproductive. Understand : intercourse. Having intercourse with your father. Hey ! Where did you get that ? What is that ? That’s nothing. Nothing at all. Here, let’s make a bracelet from it. Intercourse means communication. Communicate with your father. Communication sends information. Information is a signal. The signal is inside the noise. The noise is nothing. People who are nothing in the world are noise. The noise of the asteroid travelled across the planet, radially speaking. The noise is the vibration. The dinosaur standing at the antipode heard the noise many times. A noise is a sound that means nothing. Sounds that mean nothing convey no information. People who are nothing convey no information. People who are nothing are a vibration. People who convey no information talk phatically. Marjorie had reserves for the winter : she communicated phatically. How are you ? Phatic are the people who are nothing in the world. Vibration is a perturbation. Noise is phatic, communicationally speaking. People who are nothing in the world are perturbations. Statistics stick. Statistics are more likely. What is more likely is always best. What is more likely is always reasonable. Statistically, strategy is unlikely. A Cardinal order : the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Statistically, the enemy of your enemy is another enemy. Statistics defy strategy. Statistics are more likely than strategy. Signal is important. When in times of need, people who are nothing refer themselves to the signal. The signal is a top performer. Top performers must not mix with subpar performers. Subpar performers must be excused, out the door or out the window. Miscegenation is an abomination. Mixed blood makes bad law. Impurities. Top performers must not have intercourse with subpar performers. Managers. Find the subpar performer. To manage is from the hand. Manage the subpar performers. Hint : if you can’t find a subpar performer, you are the subpar performer. Exhibit yourself. Sell yourself. If the manager doesn’t find a subpar performer, go over the manager. To manage is from the hand. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Feedback makes noise. Noise is nothing. Nothing has no informational content. Avicii was a content creator who performed subparly. As a subpar performer and manager, he did right by society. Avicii deleted himself in 2016. The suicide becomes the story. The story of Avicii is a story of suicide. Everything tends to deletion. In the story, the happiest moment is rendered sadder. Teleologically speaking, Avicii was always going to delete himself. Subpar performer. Ludovico, poor Alex, was in If…. If you are a subpar performer, if your blood is mixed by miscegenation, if you are a small crumb waiting for vacuuming, if you are nothing in the world, if you contain no informational content, if you look up to the elite of the poolin times of need, if you have no legacy to leave, if you know you will die before 120, if you don’t drive a Cadillac or better, if your best memory is eating cheese on the lawn, if you were born in the eye of a cyclone, if you are an irresponsible mother, if you are worse than nothing in the world, if you are a window-shopper, a feudal retainer, if you are alone, if you are left to your own devices, if you own nothing in the world, if you are depressed, anhedonic, anorexic, if you have reserves for winter, if your body is built for scarcity, if you are grieving, if your skin is paper thin, if you are thinking about ending things, if your blood is not the essence of the law, if your blood barely flows, if you are a big ball of pain, if you deserve your miseries, if your sun will be eaten by a shark, if your son will be devoured by a crumb, if your child was taken by the Crow, if you were accused of turning your boy into a giant wound, if you have ever thought about throwing yourself in the river, if you have wished to live in the desert, if you love bees, if you are a pathetic nothing, if your neutrality was for nothing, if you will be forgotten forever, if you don’t act gracefully with any regularity – or ever, if you look up to the turds in times of need, if you drink, if you were tricked by God, if you were diverted by the fait divers, if you didn’t listen to your father, if you were abandoned by your irresponsible mother, if you are stuck in a corner, if you think about jumping into a magma chamber, if you like the thought of becoming a flower, if you bite the hand that feeds you, if you don’t perform, if you are not passionnate abou 401(k) investing, if you do not undertake, if you are not an entrepreneur, if you are not a leader, if you are not a manager, if you think Lolita was just a poor girl, if you read to the ends, if you like the summer because it ends, if you keep a reserve for winter, if you live where you were born, if you don’t know how to prove Euler’s identity, if you know what happens to Achab, if you speak for nothing, if you communicate phatically exclusively, if you have low optics, if you are specularly challenged, if you are limited in your abilities, if you were killed by Tambora, if you were petrified by ash, if you are still waiting for your father, if you want to return but don’t know the way, if you are alone in the world, if you have no projects, if you have no prospects, if you don’t know what a prophylactic move is, if you think intercourse means sex, if you’ve never had sex, if you are alienated to the means of production, if you’ve produced bodies, if your body is built for scarcity, if you are blind at the bottom of the sea, if you haven’t, if you haven’t changed at all, if nothing has changed for you, if you are still alone, if you’ve returned to your initial state, if you are a blank slate, if you’ve revolted but not revolved, if you’ve rebelled but never revolutionned, if you don’t know when celestial bodies are coming, if you look up to the sky and see nothing, if you don’t have an eye in the sky, if your car is fucked, if your best memory involves your brother’s blood, if you have an irresponsible mother, if you are unstable, if you are metastable, if you are offended by syntagms, if you think ill of doctors, if you are an old drunkard, if you are old and wrinkled, if you have always thought of death beyond, if you have never thought the ends within, if you have never thought the desert within, if you have removed yourself from from the decision process, if you think the summer ends eventually, if you think the braking distance is incompressible, if you think it’s obvious, if you think you are data, if you can be modelled, if you are not a model, if you can be predicted, if you may do some shoplifting at a given point, if you are certain to be arrested, if you know for sure you are going to be in an accident….

8. I’m gonna eat this madeleine
The grandmother sees the child. The child is cheeky. The child has reserves for winter. The child can hardly walk. The child can hardly work. The child works, nevertheless. The child sorts. The grandmother comments. What is that ? That is a rag. A rag. The child mumbles, incoherently. A rag. The child gives the rag. The child is nothing; the grandmother is nothing. Antipodal activity remains. The child stumbles to the basket. The child sorts the laundry. What is that ? That is a blanket. A blanket. I had it nicely folded, thank you. The child can hardly work. The child will become a giant wound, eventually. Statistically speaking, the child will die in bed. The grandmother will become a giant wound. What is that ? That is nothing. Nothing at all. Here, let’s make a bracelet from it. You can’t make a braelet from nothing, supposedly. The child has poor coordination. Hardly any. In the desert, bodies are built for scarcity. In the desert, babies are built by margin bodies. In times of need, the child looks up to the grandmother for guidance. The child falls backwards. The grandmother sees the child. The child is Marjorie. Maybe. In the desert, Marjorie was a scarcily built body. Marjorie’s body was built for scarcity. In the desert, Marjorie made margins. Marjorie’s margins came in handy. Managing is from the hand. The hand that feeds you is also the hand that makes a bracelet from nothing. You are sitting on your reserves. Reserves are for emergencies. Falling is a kind of an emergency. In times of need, bodies built for scarcity move quite quickly. Reaction time is compressible by vigilance. Reaction time is around 1 second, for coordinated adults that is. Marjorie did not react before she went forever. Be sure of what you say : Marjorie was turned into a giant wound when she failed to react. Way back when, Marjorie already had reserves. Way back when, her grandmother made a bracelet from nothing, nothing at all. Beware of this promise. Surprise : the repressed returns. Believe what I say. Repression puts an end to the questions. Children ask too many questions. There are no stupid questions. Crumbs will devour us. Children will devour us. A pig ate a child’s face, in 1386. Pigs are like humans. 95% shared instructions. Pigs are our friends. Dogs are our friends. Pigs were everywhere, way back when. Pigs are dirty. Pigs are our friends. Don’t let a pig drag you into the mud. You’ll get dirty, and he’ll like it. Don’t let you kid fall in the mud. Don’t give your kid to a pig. Pigs are ruthless. Pigs are tortioners. Pigs are brutal executioners. Pigs are drunk, pigs are terrible lovers. Pigs kill people. Pigs eat faces. Pigs eat feces. Pigs are major-league freaks. Pigs shriek when their throats are slit. Pigs weep. Pigs grieve. Pigs are people too, you know. Pigs are our brothers and schwesters. Some guys don’t eat pigs. Some guys are like that, man. Guys that don’t eat pig think the pigs are dirty. They thing the pigs are like people. People are pigs. People have done some terrible things. Not better than certain pigs I know. A pig killed the prince of France in 1131. Before I go forever. Be sure of what you say. The words may come too easy. This is an old memory. Computers have memory. Computers are to remember. We write things down so we can forget them. Make room for new memories. The problem is not acquiring the data. The problem is seeing anything with it. The problem is separating the signal. Statistics stick. Life is statistics. Statistics turn noise into signal. This is crucial. Information is inside the noise. Information is signal. Communication means : separating the signal from the noise. The noise is the vehicle, if you will. The signal, the passenger. The noise has its own designs. Statistics do not, I repeat, do not separate the signal from the noise. Do not extract the passenger from the vehicle. I repeat. Echolalically speaking, repetition satiates and legitimizes. Makes legitimate. Legitimacy is an unknown quantity. Credit is a quality. Long chins provide currency. There is a study. The noise has its own designs. The medium is the message means : there is no message. There is no passenger. There is no signal. There is no information. There is no planet. That’s a different kind of a story. Statistics mean. Statistics make mean. Statistics means. To mean. Chant many times : I mean. You mean. We mean. This is meaning. Statistically speaking, the medium is the message. This means : there is more medium than there is message. The car is heavier than the passenger. Steel is heavier than skin. This means : among matter, manner is more likely. The medium is the manner. The vehicle is the manner. The noise is the manner. The manner by which the matter is delivered. The matter is the message. Statistics mean : what is will be, more than ever. Statistics mean : this is more likely. Manner is more likely than matter. Medium, more likely than message. Car than passenger. Noise from signal. There is more noise in the world than there is signal. The task for humans is : separating the signal from the noise. The noise is the carrier. No noise, no signal. Nevertheless, noise must be separated. Not discarded. Extracted. Order, threaded. Statistics means : noise is signal. Communication is noise.Noise to signal. Antipodal. Vehicles are the signal. Information is the passenger. Quantity is a meaning. Quantity is a quality. Quantity ensures equality. Equality ensures democracy. Democracy is an unknown quantity. Statistically speaking, there are people who are nothing in the world. Equality is good. Fascism is bad. Gini was a fascist. Gini is bad. Equality going down is good. Fascists going down is good. Equality going up is bad. Gini going up is bad. Gini is going down. Gini going down is good. Equality is going down. Fascist Gini is going down, meaning : equality is going up. Good. Give me your watch and I’ll tell you the time. Kropotkin became an anarchist among the Swiss watchmakers. What is that ? Nothing. Let’s make a bracelet from it. Statistics require quantity. Quantity is a quality. Computers are an unknown quantity. The dog days of august have often spelled trouble for the world economy. Parabolic, hours of analysis. Hours of analysis yield a diagnosis. The diagnosis breaks up into troubles. People break up into troubles. There are people who are made of troubles. Statistics spell equality. You can be a subject, if you are lucky. Surprisingly, forgotten things are remembered. Big things are coming. Anachronistically speaking, historians are often guilty. Democracy is an unknown quantity. Blood is the essence of the law. Historians are an unknown quantity. German blood makes German law. German law makes democracy. The community of the people is the people who rule. There are people who are nothing in a democracy. These are sterilized. Dogs get cancer. Smaller dogs die later. Dogs often get sterilized. There are 24 hours in a day, and fewer in a business day. The person who lives infinitely fast lives forever. The dog days of august are the summer. Summer is beloved, not universally. Sumer was the first civilization in history. History is written by people who think the summer will never end. Marjorie’s madeleine is a bracelet made of nothing. Give me your watch and I’ll tell you the time. The Jetsons live in a loop. The Flintstonses live in a loop. The Jetsons and the Flintsones will never die. Enough with this : let’s learn together. Recap : Marjorie was born in 1974 in Darwin. Darwin was devastated by the cyclone Tracy in 1974. Darwin was founded by a sailor who knew the real Darwin. Darwin didn’t go to Darwin. Darwin’s legacy : disfigured. Marjorie became a giant wound when her car crashed into another going 80 kilometers per hour. Marjorie was drunk, did not react. Old drunkards outnumber old doctors. Marjorie had been on the lawn in 1984, when Grégory was turned into a giant wound in France, eating pups and cheese, when her brother (she had several) cut his hand doing something stupid. Marjorie went inside to pour some water. Marjorie was a mother. Born mother. Some people are born to be mothers. Some people aren’t born to be fathers. Marjorie was an irresponsible mother. Marjorie had a husband. Marjorie had nothing in the world. No house, no money. Where there’s no will, there’s no way. Marjorie had no will. Marjorie’s legacy : still not. Marjorie’s mother was an irresponsible mother. Marjorie’s father never returned. Statistically, fathers return. Marjorie’s father was an exception. Marjorie’s father was never an option. Speculatively speaking, Marjorie’s father may have become something in the world. Suggestion : Marjorie’s father was nothing in the world. Marjorie’s father left her. Marjorie’s father died of cancer a few years later. Fathers are great terrorists. Much with little. Big ends, few means. God is the Father. Mind capitalization. God is a great terrorist. A terrorist is a top performer. A top performer is a person who makes much with not much. God made everything out of nothing. God is a top performer. Fathers are top performers. Find the top performers. Worship them. God is the Father. Marjorie never really knew her father. It never really bothered her. Suggestion : Marjorie was a slut, like Lolita. Perverse little girl. Antipodal activity, again. Don’t worry about it. Suggestion : Marjorie jumped like Ulysses from one asshole to another. Marjorie was nothing in the world. Marjorie was captured on video turning into a giant flower. Marjorie would have been named Marguerite, in France. In France, Marguerite is the name for a flower. The world began to flower into wounds when Marjorie turned into a flower. Flowers don’t explode, they flower. Be graceful at all times. Die then crash. Marjorie was drunk when she became a big ball of pain, splattered on the windshield wipers. Marjorie had no instruments to surmount her conditions. Marjorie had no tools for emancipation. Marjorie did not know the meaning of the word. Poor poor Marjorie. Weep for her. Marjorie was nothing in the world; she ran around like a rat in a maze. Marjorie was not more than a rat in the world. Marjorie had no advice to give her daughter. Marjorie had no reputation. Marjorie’s daughter will be a perverse little girl. History is written by people who think that Lolita was a perverse little girl. Tulips are flowers. Marjorie’s daughter is Marjorie’s legacy. Marjorie has no legacy. Marjorie’s daughter is nothing in the world. Marjorie made a bracelet from nothing for her daughter. Give me your watch and I’ll tell you the time. Marjorie’s daughter was nothing in the world. Marjorie’s grandmother was nothing in the world. Marjorie’s grandmother made her a bracelet from nothing. Marjorie did not remember her grandmother. Marjorie’s grandmother flipped to a different page. Marjorie’s grandmother read the ends first. That way, she said, at least I’ll know the end if I die before I get to it. Books are an unknown quantity. Genealogy is meaningless. Neutrality is for nothing. Marjorie’s grandmother was nothing in the world. She read the ends before the means. Marjorie’s grandmother died while reading a book called Learning to Love again. Marjorie’s grandmother was fucking nothing in the world. Less than nothing. Marjorie’s grandmother couldn’t fucking read Wittgenstein. God is tricky. I love God. Learning to love God again is tricky. God made people talk in tongues. Tongues are an element of noise. As we know now, noise is signal. One way or another. Intellectuals despise, in general. Intellectuals are not nothing in the world. Intellectuals have their own tongues. Intellectuals dominate. Intellectuals are not nothing in the world. I am an intellectual. I am nothing in the world. I am alone, left to my own devices. My neutrality was for nothing. I didn’t die. I didn’t go to hell for a zillion years. Hells within hells, embedded within larger hells. A system of hells. Said Dante. Dante thought he was sixth best. My tears were meaningless. Nothing changed. I didn’t tell the story of Marjorie. I didn’t change the world. I didn’t give her a legacy. The soft underbelly is the dead center. Give me your watch and I’ll tell you the time. Neutrality is nothing. People are in places. Non-lieu, lieu commun, no-place, common place. It was incredible. There was a firefly in the room. I stretched out my hand and the firefly landed on my finger. And the crazy thing was : I felt it.Marjorie couldn’t spell. Marjorie couldn’t read Derrida. Derrida liked cats. Marjorie liked bees. Bees are disappearing. People before history have all disappeared. Since then, all but a few. The few are chosen, they are the elite.The elite float up in the pool, like turds. Many are called. Hello ? Be the elite. Learn to manage. To manage is from the hand. Managers get their hands dirty, at times. Managers manage. Performance means : more with less. Or at least the same. Manage more. Managers must manage more. More with less. Less is more. Manage less, manage more. Manage stress. Stress is in the atmosphere. Don’t worry about the atmosphere. Don’t stress. In times of stress, we all need to blow off a little steam. The steam engine used to mint coins. Make money selling coins. Mr. Watt. Mr. Boulton. Saved by the coin. The horizon is open. Fourteen hours every day. Work while the sun shines. Don’t stress. No time. Times of stress are for those who have the time to stress. Stressful times. Big things are coming. Announcements. Making more money with coins. Announcements are coming. Threading depression. Selling the pression. Repetition sells the pressure. Sell the coins for more than they’re worth. In times of need, we look up to the elite above. In times of need, Marjorie looked down at her feet. When she was depressed, Marjorie looked down at her feet. The eliteare through the core, for Australians. Remember. Marjorie was nothing in the world. All the dinosaurs have disappeared. In times of need, the reserves come in handy, sometimes. Marjorie’s reserves never came in handy. Marjorie was berated, brutally. Beastiality is what the beasts were accused of. Beastiality means to have sexual intercourse with an animal. Animals were tried, once upon a time. Burned. Pigs were burned for eating children, way back when. We will return to it later. Marjorie was nothing in the world. Marjorie’s husband berated her, probably. Marjorie will leave no legacy. Husserl will leave a legacy. As will Mauss. Social subjects are not instantaneous minds. Marjorie was an object. Marjorie never emancipated. Marjorie never became the subject of her own thoughts. Marjorie was determined. People are determined, at birth. Nominally speaking, the smallest crumb can devour us. Crumbs will rise. Crumbs will organize. People scheme to rise. People who are nothing in the world scheme to rise. The world is a forest of scars. Dinosaurs became a forest of scars. God is tricky. All unfolds as if the dinosaurs had been placed there to make the world look older than it really is. The world was created some 6000 years ago. Repression turns crumbs into scars. Vacuum it. Upload it. A byte is eight bits. Lord give us the strength to change the things we can’t accept, the wisdom to tell the difference. And the difference between the things we can’t change and those we can’t. We can’t change the things. People are things in the world. People are nothing in the world. Things are nothing in the world. People can’t be changed. People don’t change. People won’t change. We can’t change the difference. It’s the way of the world. The world is made of subjects. Animals are nothing in the world. Telling the difference is tricky. Animals have no language and no death. The world breaks down into false and true facts. Animals do not suffer ; not like us. Prime time childhood is the transmission of social structure. Children are major-league freaks. Animals are nothing in the world : they deserve their miseries. In times of need, animals rely on their reserves. In the deser, bodies are built for scarcity. The world is my world. Said the one who was a subject. Are subjects conscious ? No. Genesis of the subjects is a difficult thing. Labor is difficult. Labor creates things in the world. Labor creates bodies in the world. Bodies are matter transformed. The horizon is calcified. There is no planet. There are very few subjects among the people. Five or six. The Lord is above. All is the will of the Lord.
O King,
The Voyages for the Advancement and Perfection of the Sciences perpetuate the Memory of your august Grandfather; it is upon His orders that I undertook the one of which I am honored to present to Your Majesty the Story and Results.
He has honored it with His Royal Protection, you deign, Sire, grant it yours, since it exists as a pure effect of Your Majesty’s kindness.
The favorable outlook that Your Majesty deigns to cast upon the Sciences, in the midst of the immense Works that he tirelessly attends to for the good of his subjects, announces, Sire, a most happy of Reigns, where Kings shall see for evermore the Example to follow, and the Model to imitate.
I am with a most profound respect,
Sire, of Your Majesty,
The very humble, very obedient and very faithful,
Subject and Servant,
W. G. L. M.
I’m beginning to think that making money is more of a hobby with you.
