A month ago I read Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon and was kinda blown away at how elegant and sorta haikuesque it was. I was expecting a cool detective story buried under cliche-ridden garbage prose, but goddamn, dude was a poet. Not a single hair out of place in that book.

Can we get, like, a "Celebrity Births" thread to sorta like balance out the vibes or something?

Awesome! Whenever I walk across town to my appointment i'm all like singing "gettin' my brain fixed, i'm gettin' my brain fixed" and like fist-pumping and high-fiving passers-by and people in cars are shouting "hey, you going to get your brain fixed?" and I'm like "I certainly am!" and then suddenly there's a marching band behind me playing a brass-band arrangement of "(I'm Getting My) Brain Fixed" by Rogers/Hammerstein from their hit musical I'm Getting My Brain Fixed!... (Well not exactly, but I do really like going!)

Or when he lectures in English: French-accent comprehension, amarite? (The guy in the second row clearly knowsbwhat I'm talking about...) I started reading a pdf of B&E (he shoulda called it 'B&E imo) and I had zero knowledge of the ZFC axioms/patches/ad-hoc-duct-tape-job (though I knew that Russell's paradox was the problem with naive set theory) so I ordered the book and tried to brush up in the meanwhile. I will say that to the extent that math/set-theory is a constructed language (as opposed to a Platonic 'discovery'): you can't learn/deduce from it truths about ontology/metaphysics, for the same reason you can't learn about the world from studying the English alphabet. (A mathematical Platonist might counter: 'well how come math maps onto reality so nicely?' Whereby a constructivist might say 'because we hand-pick the equations that map so nicely onto reality...') Anyway point being: I don't intend to agree with Badiou on alot of this stuff. And also I have alot of weird ideas about "set-theory/predicates/categories as shitty-bitrate samples of reality" that for sanity/brevity I'll omit.

Wait I think we're talking about two separate films called "Lucky"...i was talking about https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_(2020_film) (sorry should have clarified year) The premise of the 2020 one is: Her: "Babe, babe, wake up...there's a guy with a knife in the back yard" Him "Oh honey it's fine: that's just the guy who breaks into our house every night and tries to kill us" *still yawning, dude lazily gets up and grabs a golf club* Him: "alright let's do this so we can go back to bed."

Dogshit. Everywhere. Gotta continuously scan the sidewalk. Oh and all the dogshit always has a footprint in it, and like a trail from when it was stepped in for like another half-block.

Started seeing a psychotherapist ~2 months ago (on top of the psychiatrists that sorts my meds once a month). Like almost immediately dude fucking katana-sliced through the weeds of me to the heart of all my anxieties and fears and guilt and shame and neurotic little tics and habits and rituals and regret etc etc I always hate the portrayals of psychiatrists/psychotherapists-psychoanalysts in film where you go whine on a couch to a bored professional weekly for 15 years and nothing changes and there are no specific plans for improvement whatsoever...

City on a Hill (7.3274586/10) - Grabbed it from the library. It's good, but it all kinda starts to feel like there's a sweatshop somewhere with slaves just pumping out generic serial tv scripts en masse according to some master template created by a bot. Anyway, decent show. Although I'm kinda annoyed at myself for enjoying it even a little.

Lucky (7.9/10) - Great bit of daring indie Expressionism. The only thing I didn't like about it was nothing to do with the film proper: You know when you encounter rich, profound symbolism in art, and then the artist walks up and says "Yeah so this painting represents specifically the Oklahoma rice shortage of 1941" or whatever? Basically that. Otherwise: brilliant. Tenet (8.7/10) - Bought the DVD, watched it over and over until I understood every second of it. Over-maligned. Inherent Vice (9.6/10) - Bought the DVD, watched it over and over again until I understood every second of it. I could watch this once a week. The Endless (8.3/10) - Brilliant indie sci-fi. Possible tagline: come out and live in a religious community in a beautiful place out in the country...again! She Dies Tomorrow (6.1/10) - Half the acting is really good; half the acting is really bad. Cool premise, elegant look, but the bizzarely-stilted acting destroyed the effect.

That's what Adorno said about jazz lol (Wait did someone say that and that's why you said that? If so sorry I'm dumb) For me (ymmv) Marx is in this category with (e.g.) Freud, where their ideas got refined over the next couple generations, and so you get the Frankfurt School and whatever generation Fredric Jameson was and the Lacanians and Deleuze/Guattari and by the time you get to Mark Fisher (or whomever from this generation) you got some well-sifted good ideas and finally a good understanding of why the Revolution never came:

I totally feel you on being weary of psychiatrists and hospitals and the like... but if it weren't for psychiatrists and anti-psychotics I would be like (once-again-)homeless or dead or something in that ballpark. One thing you can do on your own--in the meantime--is work on reducing stress and anxiety, as that's usually what precipitated the whole spiraling-into-full-on-psychosis thing. Fucking corny as it sounds, if you can manage a few minutes here and there of deep, slow breathing to sorta reset stress/anxiety back to zero-ish...it's so fucking corny but it's kinda low-key magic.

Currently rereading Charlie Kaufman's Antkind because its intricate and obsessive structure kinda hides in plain sight, til you get to the end and its like 'oh, fuck me, I wasn't even paying attention', and all the incidental-looking stuff turns out to be the heart of the thing. Also finally (and rather slowly) reading Infinite Jest because my girlfriend left me and it's her favorite book and we occasionally still hang out and talk so it's an excuse to talk to her I guess. *shrug* Also just ordered Badiou's Being and Event and William H. Gass' The Tunnel. Hopefully i'll finish at least one of them.

Why do you think you might have schizophrenia? (And fwiw, lack of 'self-insight'(i.e. not realizing you're ill) is one of the hallmarks of psychosis, so you're likely not currently psychotic.)

Jesus. RIP

Sup y'all. I'm sorry to have disappeared. This place is awesome, but after someone sees how I talk/act when I'm off my meds, spewing these literally- insane schizophrenic rants... It's kinda mind-boggling how cliche schizophrenic's delusions are: i'm jesus christ reincarnated, I work for the CIA as well as the aliens-from-the-future who are sending messages via the porch light about how to prevent your thoughts from being stolen or hijacked by one-or-more secret societies and also you should go around town barefoot absolutely stanking of stale urine screaming about the hidden symbology of the Old Testament and the little metal thingies that people lock their bikes to, well their shaped like such-and-such-a-Greek-letter and we all know what that means wink wink meanwhile the uric acid eminating from your fucking clothing is literally stinging people's eyes and you manic-panic your eyebrows and the aliens-in-the-future are reaching back in time manipulating adverts around nyc thanking you for preventing WW3 and hey why am I being involuntarily hospitalized? I've got so much more important work to do and of course they're slipping poison into my food and the TV in the rec room is talking to me telling me how to escape and p.s. why the fuck is (I swear on my life this is true) my roomie at this psychiatric hospital an extremely old man named john ehrlichman... Anyway things are much more normal now, but its kinda impossible to live down that kinda image/reputation, so I end up withdrawing, whether online or IRL.

"Almost died" is probably overselling it, but basically stuff like nearly walking into traffic, nearly falling off bridges, being un-cautious with fentanyl, walking around Manhattan barefoot with cuts and scrapes on my feet, sleeping in parks in random (possibly dangerous I have no idea) neighborhoods, a few rather precarious social encounters... "Tempting fate" is probably more accurate.

I'm on an even keel with my psych meds, for the first time since...well...since I went to New York and became a barefoot schizophrenic homeless fucking weirdo and streaked in front of Trump Tower and almost died like twice. *unintentionally-effeminate slightly-autistic Arsenio Hall-inspired fist pump*
