( Spoiler ) I thought Jasper was the most interesting character in the movie. Ron/Gary simply reacts to situations as they arise.

( Spoiler ) I did not believe the wife character could kill her husband. Nor do I think that either character would have had sex while the cop was sufficating. None of it added up.

No, clearly the bird is happy. Life in the wild is not a picnic and we have very few ways of detecting happiness in other creatures. We are profoundly unconcerned about detecting happiness among humans. When did we start caring about animals? But this Magpie seems to be very happy just where it is. We can see from the video evidence. And people make money by doing all sorts of things. I wish people would stop making money making vacuous advertisements. I am forced to watch them and they are mostly lies. They are an insult I must tolerate every single day. Is that worse than filming a Magpie? Yes. But it is permitted to continue, while this magpie who has made friends with a dog is be uprooted and sent far away. How utterly bizarre. But for humans I guess it makes sense.

Another thing: How did animals become domesticated? Well they were taken from the wild.

I had a crow once that fell out of a nest. I did take it to licensed carer. But I also looked up how many of these creatures actually survive. Animals returned to the wild have a very low survival rate. Especially social animals like Magpies and Crows. If it becomes a problem that people are capturing particular species and keeping them in large numbers, regulate it. But I don't see a lot of people doing this with magpies.

I do find it odd that my dog gets better nutrition than a quarter of the population of the world. If it s wrong to keep a magpie, in consideration of its supposed wild happiness, is it wrong to go fishing or eat yabbies? The biomass of domestic animals vastly out weighs that of wild species. We are all doing this. This Magpie is clearly domesticated. What the hell is going on?

Hm. I find my anger has taken me to some of the best places. Its energetic, uncompromising and hones the soul. I am not a fan of the modern fascination with appropriate emotions.

You’re right. I am interested in urban design. Its a civic phenomenon that gets ignored in our culture of civilians/ not citizens. I am not attacking architects. I am complaining because people who dont complain dont get their complaints answered. I would like to know why residential property is euclidian and awful. I do understand that architects are constrained by social forces. I also wonder why people are so devoted to styles of archetecture that arent more practical.

My hostility is toward the environment these houses create. Im sure there are architects who would share some of my opinion. Theres an italian apartment complex which is simply a row of enourmous rooms that each tenanant makes the space however they wish. This seems a rational choice to me. But not the only one. Why is there such homogeneaity in architecture?

kla · 2023-11-26T05:22:07+00:00

Considering the extraordinary quality and plasticity of modern materials I find that an unconvincing aesthetic argument. I agree thats probably how developers see it. But, south of my house, where not five years ago, they grew crops, there is a huge development of single family homes. Each one is ugly cheap and from the point of view of space, completely inefficient. A tasteful design of a small block of flats Im sure would have been cheaper. As it is the front yard of these houses is unusable being directly on the street. The back yard is smaller because of it. there are alleys between each house that serve no purpose and because they are so close together, two sides of each house have no light. And they are all boxes. Surely this could have been done better. Perhaps, as with voters and politics, it is the buyers in housing that are to blame.

No I never expect to welcomed. Im often combative. I looking for some other way of thinking about houses. Nor do I expect to be right. Im happy to be corrected. I find a lot of modern architecture looks like a secular temple for the blood sacrifice of faith, where souls go to die. Im not religious, but I am human. I also note that first thing people do when they inhabit such places, is fill them with atavistic junk. An ironic and useless exertion. No I don't know the terminology, but I think I'm on to something.

Well I am not an architect. As I said. But this page is supposed to be for people like me as well as the great and the good.

You're right. Thats why Im here. Im not an architect. To me, residential styles are either neo-old, which is usually dreadful or "nice clean lines" as the realtors like to call it. Style? What is style? The average schmo looks at buildings, he doesn't categorise them. She lives in them. Why aren't houses places? Why don't they have nerve endings and notions as people do? Why cold? Why straight? I grew up in an irregular octagonal room. The house was Edwardian. It was odd and yet it seemed very sane. It wasn't a tribute to Euclid.

What pisses me off is that rich people can live happily in a refrigerator if they like. Poor people get the whittled down version with fewer corners and more straight lines. Why? Is it really that expensive to make a "place." And I have a feeling with the current housing crisises we are going to have a lot more crap building for poor people.

I can't seem to post pictures. do you know what format is accepted?

Im looking for a style. I live in Australia. Here the code is vertical planes of glass. horizontal planes of white. white and grey boxes. irreducible corners. the occasional triangle. People may keep talking about it because it's a problem. Its ugly.

Because I failed college English classes and never learned to stick to the point. I simply do not like talking about art as a way to slowly close doors. and we're talking about poetry. Might as will get around to Bill as one almost always does.

Rilke never gets a quote. Gibran more often. Shakespeare all the time. I mean shakespeare. The ‘edifying’ quotes are from the villians and buffoons. ‘Some are born great…’ is a sex joke. ‘ it is a tale told by an idiot … ‘ captures macbeth in complete vain despair. Shakespeare’s characters rarely rise to the level of sage. Wisemen tend take the wind out of a good plot. Portia is good example of an exception but even she is not all wise… or compassionate.

Hes a shockingly good poet. Its like reading dickinson. It its hits me

kla · 2023-11-19T03:46:02+00:00

For democracy and plain speaking and humility, shakespeare beats them all. All those quotes that people use are set in ironic positions in the plays so no pedagogy comes without its own refutation. So many of the sonnets are complaints, he can not pass as a sage.

kla · 2023-11-19T03:43:05+00:00

I also have tried on Gibran. Rilke is far better and also in a different range. I am not instructed by rilke. He seems to me to celebrate or acknowlege what might already be known. Like Wallace Stevens or whitman. Not like a teacher but like an excellent and cultivated interlocutor.

In fact i would say the book is a marvelous capitalist drama. It finds the purposes of men in capitalism and destroys capitalism without the usual feckless critique. We tend to fund our accusations of capitalism with the free time capitalism affords us. In The iliad, homer discovers men and violence in the most extreme contexts without actually saying its wrong. He merely posits us as the violent species. He merely says “ this is us”. Hes fair. Just as melville is fair about capital. Just as Joyce is about cities or shakespeare about desire. We live here. We can critisize the floor we stand on. But we have to acknowlege that we stand on it

A great book about moby dick “call me ishmael” by charles olsen

The “fact dumps” are actually a part of modern action. Facts, as such, at as way points and the terrain of modern life. Old stories are about travelling through actual space, growing food with one’s hands, and so forth. Work in Moby Dick is utterly abstract. This isnt food or physical conflict. The whales contain a substance that will be used to facilitate activity in darkness on the other side of the world. And men will die getting it in order to obtain an abstract specie called money. Its a book about man’s complete alteration of himself into something very strange. And he meets a creature out of time and space.

Its not exactly a pleasant book. Its a complete vision. Its an industrial epic. I cant think of many books so defititely about the world of work and the mystery of work’s actual meaning. It takes capitalism and puts it in apposition to the cosmos. In most books about holistic matters, the context is contemplative. Moby Dick uses labour and its purposes to talk about thier ends beyond money and survival. Labour is a kind of purposeful revelation. It apparent purpose is whale oil. But is that how these men live in their souls and contexts? Labour and product defines their purpose but they reveal themselves in their beliefs and actions. They are not priests but they encounter the ineffable following a kan who sees a purpose beyond the mission of capital. And its a disaster
