Once — a Pynchon enthusiast and Dr. Con were talking about the impact of literature and tea on culture — He said, “No offense meant but I see you as a Pynchon character” Taking a sip of the Ancient Tree Pu’erh whose leaves were picked from trees of a median age of 333 years — Dr. Con replied “No offense taken”
Not being particularly photogenic — at some point — the character I built was based on literature — not the new mediums like television — it was a personal grift — a con — using — among many many others — Jack Kerouac and Hunter S. Thompson as templates
The irony is I watch a great deal of television or should I say, “I consume a great deal of modern media?” — But I don’t believe it — In my experience — many who have constructed their personality from TV don’t watch it — they aren’t inoculated and can’t recognize their own origin stories thinking they were unique comedies they discovered in the wild — rather than a crafted persona gestated in the media ecology
Personally — I believe it’s important to understand our own grift to be authentic whole humans — What’s your grift?

While leaving your personal grift for the world to see — so you can own it or leave it behind please enjoy The Karminsky Experience Inc.

Or, maybe more in line with our themes and tropisms:

I wonder how many of us understand Black Friday — Cyber Monday — Giving Tuesday, are frontline outposts in a religious war? I bring this up because youtube has made itself unwatchable by adding the ad requirements — most of which say more about the auto-grift of modern advertising than providing useful propaganda — escalating the weaponization of the arts as commerce — Of course, one can surrender (if you can afford to) giving in and subscribing to Spotify or another service like I currently am:

Or embrace your inner Grifter, learn to love your Hypocrite, or at least, bring The Grifter and The Hypocrite into full consciousness, otherwise, the consequences to your character armor can be swift and overwhelming. One way to ease the tension, calm the clonisms, or avoid too rapid de-armoring -

When armor is fully in play, it it said that a person is exhibiting a 'character defense' and anxiety is fairly low. When armor has been weakened, either through therapy or chance experience, a person is said to be in an 'anxiety defense' An anxiety defense can be thought of as a temporary state brought about by de-armoring. It is important in bodywork not to precipitate too much anxiety at once.

-is to, on this Giving Tuesday, give the gift of vegetotherapy to unsuspecting friends and loved ones by giving them gate(less) I’m sure you will instantly regret it, yet the spice must flow!

Give a gift subscription

Much Love to my fellow passengers on this voyage — I appreciate y’all,

Following Freud’s original thinking, Reich thought that this fact indicated that there was an “economic” factor in neurosis: if the patient became capable of discharging stored excessive quantities of libido, neurotic fixations lost their energy source and, as a result, their power to influence the individual. This quantitative energetic factor became a cardinal element in all his following work.

I see this happening a lot, where people regurgitate talking points, from what ever slant. I want the original thought, and I believe that one must constantly examine what is coming out of ones mouth/head to make sure we are not part of the virus.
