Notes by TK
Kyroot to :07. Men can only study what they can talk about. Men only need to study what it is necessary to talk about (i.e., PL/primary level needs no study). Men can only study what they can bear to talk about.
The Real Revolutionist must be able and prepared, even anxious to present himself with embarrassing, offensive, humiliating. harrowing questions, but from no known position of judgment.
What is the difference between ‘you’ and talk that comes from you: Is talk behavior you do, or is it an actual piece of you, like a finger? How can men explain away what appears to be causes affecting their lives yet having no connection to them and out of their personal control? Note the modern concerns for social discrimination/class consciousness, criminality and drug problems, as if separate from behavior, yet expecting that this affects the undesirable behavior.
Thus it is all at the SL/secondary level; the “war on drugs” and “the drug problem” are only words. The “drug problem” is a word problem only; the only way to deal with such ‘problems’ is via more talk. Problems that can be fixed are physical, have a hands-on solution. “Word problems” are the unseen third-force entity energizing all human SL/Secondary Level activity. I.e., drugs plus addicts plus “the drug problem” = modern reality. The first two won’t effect any activity without the third.
And Kyroot Said…
As a balloon is being blown up, different areas on the
surface begin to live in differing time zones, and to calculate
their ages from diverse calendars; but from an outsider’s view
their creation, existence, and decay is universally coeval.

A certain precocious child decided to do his Primary School
Exit Thesis on the question: “What IS The Difference Between A
Curse And A Supplication?”, and the neighborhood myth privately
expressed “great displeasure with the little fucker.”
***
Some limbic graffiti: “Yeah I know, they all look like
“sure things,” but I’d be pretty careful about betting away my
very last suffering on it.”
***
The difference between a myth and a demi-myth is not unlike
the slight variance ‘twixt “perception” and “deception.”
***
This one lesser known god is approached by a band of mortals
who have just discovered him and who want to make him their own
personal deity; well, he is no doubt flattered and all that, but
questions them quite specifically regarding how they intend to
worship him, what sacrifices they will make, what will be the
required value of their offerings to him, what structures will be
erected in his honor, and by what public displays will they prove
their submission? (You know, just all the usual things like
that.) Well, it turns out that they have absolutely no such
plans or intentions, and not one decent response to any of his
questions; so he thinks about all of this for a moment, then
exclaims, “Well, al-l-l-right!”
***
The first voices says, “The statistics — they’ve got the
statistics — we’re done for, they’ve got the statistics, and
we’ve got nothing,” and his partner says, “Yeah, but never mind
the statistics, we both know that what they’re claiming is not
so,” and the first voice replies, “Yeah, but don’t you understand
— they’ve got the statistics!”
***
One armchair (or maybe he was an end table) psychologist
said quite loudly that he believed the only reason Beethoven went
deaf was that he simply reached a place of having no more music
to compose, and a couple of dead guys nearby, hearing this, went
into a severe funk.
***
Just in case you or your brother have ever wondered, NO,
there is no place in this universe where we’re not “all in this
together…” (Now, relax.)
***
There was this one human whose most fun in life was
explaining things to others, but he spoiled it all when one day
he accidentally listened to what he said. — Ouch!
***
Although epilogues and introductions may create stormy
marriages, indeed, the bodies of their progenies may calmly
proceed… (Without the comfortable extremes of a heaven and a
hell, Dante and Beatrice could have never given birth to one
another; without the support of a capital letter at one end and a
final punctuation mark at the other, no sentences could stand.)
***
One small group with a quite wide view has as their in-house
graffiti, this phrase, “Being ordinary is but a brief madness.”
***
The mythic god (or at least the archetype) of the human
tongue one evening confided to me thusly, “‘Tis when I attempt to
be inclusive and conclusive that I become mangled and
unintelligible,” he paused, took another drink, and added, “This
is strange even for a hero.”
***
When it comes to this-kinda-stuff, there are no serious
alternatives.
***
A silly continent is a safe continent.
***
One other little person told me that despite his numerous
attempts to “encourage reason,” reason has never returned the
favor.
***
A sheepish thought, standing before the newly discovered
carnivorous den, although lacking any details regarding this
unusual mental lair was sure of one thing — that there many more
tracks leading in than there were coming out.
***
Over in Grosstown, one father told his apparent son, “You
may drive out the inevitable at gun point, but she will return
with atomic warheads.”
***
…and Kyroot mused: Just who does the PR work for the
inevitable?
***
Being stupid won’t help, being shy won’t help, being fearful
— ah, face it, in a land where no change is possible, nothing
much is going to hurt you anyway.
***
Over on this other warm world, a public scribe accorded
himself the title, “The Honest Critic,” and his in-law neurons
laughed so loud and long that he had to pack it in and get a
quiet job.
***
“Son,” said the older voice, “I’ve come to a noteworthy
conclusion, that there is a difference between metaphors and
those who can hear them.” And the younger one thought, “If
that’s his discovery-of-the-day the old man’s slipping; even I
can see that the real difference is between metaphors and those
who can speak them.”
