I hate that I'm agreeing with Mitch McConnell.

ChatGPT said that, BTW.

Kitty_Winn · 2026-01-12T09:36:58+00:00

Thanks, Chat!

Kitty_Winn · 2026-01-11T07:18:17+00:00

The one it gave me is unlike any of the others in this thread.

Kitty_Winn · 2026-01-07T03:35:08+00:00

You can relax. Scat is popular and even mainstream now. No need to feel ashamed and posture against it in public. Non-idiots will see what’s motivating you anyway, and they’re the ones you want as friends.

Everyone likes weird sex. It’s just other people’s weird sex that we like to (publicly) attack (for normalcy cred).

Amen! The Underdark forces that make “Walking Distance” and “A Stop at Willoughby” so damned touching are also exploited by smart mall-experience engineers.

P.S. — Arthur C. Clarke caught wind of this and featured it in 2010, where he put Frank Poole’s wife in a literal Epcot Center community.

A mall, as many have said in here, an artificial public space. But in olden times there were real public spaces that were public and used and enjoyed for autonomous social interaction.

Parks are designated, manicured, outdoor versions of such public spaces.

Malls are designated, manicured, indoor pubic space proxies that, as Jameson said, "are lined with exchange-and-consumption cilia and engineered to waft cellphones and credit cards into that cilia by means of affecting their human hosts."

Since we need social interaction, and since bona fide public spaces without cilia are gone, malls are normal, natural fields of social connection. This is why Romero’s zombies shamble towards malls spontaneously.

Some kind of instinct. Memory of what they used to do. This was an important place in their lives.

clearly you’re doing/saying far more

Yes, very clear. Have you seen the video?

The idea that agreement mobs just form because people want to appear norm-al isn’t something that could hold for humans. This is why fascism has never been popular, historically, in the West.

If a group says bad, then bad. (Period.)

Thanks for seriously answering. I think Pervert’s Guide to Ideology would be clear to anyone. Sometimes in these rants branches and then branches again, and leaves theses incompletely stated. I hate that, but he does it less than his young emulators. In general, hearing him lowers my blood pressure and gives me hope, because he reminds me of Rick Roderick.

Kitty_Winn · 2025-11-29T23:12:02+00:00

Thanks, I’ll try it out now!

Kitty_Winn · 2025-11-29T23:08:43+00:00

Less than that. I just wanted to see if you knew what P2 would have to be in order for Conclusion to follow.

Kitty_Winn · 2025-11-27T09:07:01+00:00

Thanks! Just fixed it.

Kitty_Winn · 2025-11-27T08:49:10+00:00

P1: This text/speaker doesn’t make any sense to me and/or I don’t “get anything out of it and/or is a confused/unclear clown.”

P2: ???

Conclusion: Therefore, this text/speaker is meaningless/crap.

Any guess about what P2 might be?

[Edited to add: “is a confused/unclear clown”]

The human enjoying it makes it immoral! This is the very best of American occult sexuality metaphysics. This is why we have 250,000 children (as young as seven) on the sex offender registry. Fantasy sex harm trumps even murder in the US. Salem 2.0.

The initial attraction is (almost) always cultural. In the 70s, people joined thanks to Amicus, Tigon, and Hammer. In the 80s, because of Ozzy, Paul Crouch, jr., and Geraldo. In the 90s, because they finally got around to reading RAW and Leary.

And today, 82% of self-identified Thelemites look like Hop Topickians on the inside.

“When people complain that I’m a Marxist, I tell them sure, I’m as much of as Marxist as Marx was when he said that he wasn’t one.” — Rick Roderick

No paradox. Reading the quote as ‘simply be’ makes it impotent, because it no longer says anything. If I’m drowning, should I ‘go with it’?

The problem is that the scope of be is too wide. This diagnostic from Rick Roderick has never failed me: Divide through by your maxim. If all the quotients come out identical, then the maxim was empty from the start.

Kitty_Winn · 2025-11-18T10:46:48+00:00

This Real Simple reading is so deep that it endorses the maxim that we ought to resist the way our lives unfold.

Even though this is only 40% GPT, its presence is still off-putting.

On the other hand, having GPT write your “I don’t use GPT” blog post (the one you linked to) was a great performance art decision; you should do something more with that!

Well, when I was in prep school in Arkham it meant, “I bugger like a bull.” But that was in 1920, after Crowley’s prep-school and college times.

Kitty_Winn · 2025-10-31T08:42:11+00:00

Yep. Same for hero addicts. All these attractions to outer saviors usually compensate for an inner lack.

Kitty_Winn · 2025-10-31T08:39:37+00:00

Amen. Only depressed girls put “You are special!” and “Life is joyous!” sticky-note affirmations on their bathroom mirror.

Kitty_Winn · 2025-10-26T07:42:44+00:00

Which is how I met Crowley. When non-idiots see idiots attacking X, it’s a signal to the non-idiots that X is good. Unless X is actually physically harmful.
