Notes by TK
Kyroot to :10. Connection of ordinary thought, in order to function, must move things about externally, to being able to perform without an audience, as a Real Revolutionist hobby. NewThink is really a new such hobby, i.e., needing no inner audience for its optimal operation and satisfaction. It requires no resistance of the ordinary established knowledge. New Thinking vs. New Intelligence: it is consciousness without a “downside” i.e., without irony; it is an unpolarized neural process.

In City matters they say
you can’t have it both ways,
and I can add that even a Real Revolutionist
can’t have it both ways, except I would like to be
more precise I put it thusly: A Revolutionist can’t have a three,
four, or five dimensional view in
only two ways.
(You can’t capture the full glory
of a three headed monster if you only catch him in two poses.)

Unless you can hover silently, and indefinitely in mid-air
you’re not much of a revolutionary space ship.

I received another letter
from a man who saw a series of television
shows I taped in a distant locale, and
he says although he generally enjoyed my comments
he experienced an over all feeling of “vagueness,”
and wanted to put it to me simply by asking –
“What’s it about?” and I wrote back and told him quite simply –
most of them were about sixty minutes do you think we’ll ever
hear from him again? …in this life time?

One of the new welcoming trolls
under the Smooth Sector City bridge
chants out this little rhyme to travelers,
“Over kill,

The very thing that,
Fits the bill.”

Over by the mess tent last night
I met a trooper who carried a photograph in his billfold that said,
“Sticking with stuff that makes sense sure won’t tell you much.”
(I’ll admit there were
traces of spinach soufflé on his gun belt, but what does that prove?)

Tell me true,
Am I standing too close to you?”

There was a band of souls once on your planet
whose existence is now, save for me, forgot and forgot.
Like most others they had dreams and ideas of a “secret knowledge,”
but their singular facet was they said this wisdom
had been known and carried on in an unbroken line by butterflies.
…(which a few among them further said
would explain the brief life of these flying warriors.)

Half way between up and down,

With either extreme believing,
It has yielded enough.

After years of internal intrigue and turmoil the titular ruling powers of this one state closed all the public offices and took a bus.

there’s a popular nascent organization with the name,

…and Kyroot said
A certain City author attempted to explain his popularity by musing that
he is “saying out loud what everybody else is already thinking”:
If this be correct
then the commercial potential of what I’ve been telling you
is even less than you ever imagined.
…(Or put, for your late night listening and
dancing pleasure, another way: A reversal of this alleged,
“success formula” leads most likely to the remainder bin.
…[or, as one ole sore head samba stepper said,
“No matter how you cut it – discount data’s still stuff
scrapped from the catalogue.”])

In a certain City to your north
a guy went to a Complaint Doctor and complained,
“Hey, all I think are someone else’s thoughts.”
And the good doctor replied,
“Hey, join the club.”
So he went to the healer down the hall and said, “Doctor,
all I think are someone else’s thoughts.”
And this one replied,
“Hey, is this an epidemic or something?”
so he went to the expert on the roof who
hit him in the goobers, thereby distracting him from his complaint.
