Notes by TK
Kyroot to :44. If words had any meaning they wouldn’t need to be defined.
The Revolution: explains a lot; requires more effort; offers more opportunities.
Once anything is put into words it creates a choice. // Audio-only :29.
The News
92128 – I
…and Kyroot said:
Whenever the slim bridge would seem perilously close to collapsing,
Men would say to one another: “For gods sake! — don’t stop talking now!”
92128- 2
…and Kyroot said:
One boy called his own “self-abusing”, routine thinking, “Old Hairy Palms” because it was always so close at hand.
92128 – 3
…and Kyroot said:
Life told the local score-keeper: “Hey!, EVERYBODY gives it their ‘best shot’ — so what?!” And the tally-master said: “But shouldn’t that count for SOMETHING?”
And life replied: “It does! — it counts for EVERYTHING!”
92128 – 4
One ole sorehead says:
“Well at least a man that hates everybody can’t be accused of ‘playing favorites.'”
92128 – 5
A man who works in the city’s food district describes the frustration of normal thinking as: “Getting your neural shorts all in a bundle.”
92128-6
“Hey, man,” said one guy,
“There ain’t nothin’ to writin’ a book! —
All you gotta DO is come up with a premise and then come up with a book….” (And his mind thought: “JEEZE! how come I can’t come up with ideas like that?”)
92128 -7
…and Kyroot again spoke on the ever popular subject of, “Justice – (Ya’ll!)”:
It is always those who’ll never GET out who publicly worry over GETTING out.
(And to make up for his many past indiscretions, Kyoot reheated and served up again this: “A man who can’t speel is an idiot!” — [He says he hopes this makes you fell better].)
92128- 8
…and Kyroot noted:
The reason that science seems fragmented is that words are discrete entities.
92128– 9
…and Kyroot said:
For humans to have what they call, “human emotions” they almost HAVE to talk about them.
…(Note the liberal — nay! sympathetic inclusion of the word, “almost.”)
…and Kyroot said:
A passenger finally asked the driver: “Just when DOES this bus stop?” And the driver replied: “Believe me sir, you DON’T really want to know.”
92128-11
…and Kyroot said:
If it does nothing else, the secondary always serves the primary.
…and Kyroot said:
Most things only require a bit of attention — and attention only requires that it be passed around.
92128-13
…and Kyroot said:
Neighborhood reality thus-thought:
“Tis good that a ‘rhino-enlightened’ remains basically a rhino.”
92128 -14
Now for some local news:
It tuns out that the recent reports of a “Cure for suicide” were premature.
92128-15
…and Kyroot said:
While trying to learn how to think afresh, one man developed complications! -but the Reality Doctor said “Not to worry:
You were so simple to start with that this presents no real problem.”
92 2 8 6
…and Kyroot said:
Collective thinking is like glaciers to rebel skaters.
92128-17
One observer relays the following:
“Seriousness causes stupidity, and stupidity causes fear, and you take it from there.”
92128-18
…and Kyroot said:
The hunger for a “role model” reveals a weakness for psycho-plagiarism.
92128-19
Suddenly! – at about eight o’clock on a Wednesday, (spelled correctly, I might add),
A man thought:
“Talking about the primary world is nothing LIKE the primary world!
While talking about the secondary is EXACTLY like it! — JEEZE! It IS IT!!”
- 92128-20
…and Kyroot noted:
Those who say: “You are what you eat.” don’t know what to eat.
92128-21
The speaker with the allegorical looking scarf in city park took his place and declared to the crowd:
“Modern man learned to think at about the same time that
Automotive designers developed the open-topped-roadster.”
And a fellow standing up front retorted:
“Not so! — man was thinking long before that.”
And the speaker moved in close and asked: “Really? — how much before?”
…and Kyroot said:
One man was so collectively vivacious that he almost seduced himself. - To ordinary minds, it don’t GET much more attractive than The Herd.
92128-23
Kyroot’s “Lesson For The Day In Creativity”:
An artist’s art is either: In his pants -On his palette -Or in his mind.
92128-24
…and Kyroot said:
A chap who loved to drink would say to some of his friends who didn’t:
“Boy, I feel sorry for you guys —
Cause when you get up in the morning that’s the best you’re gonna feel ALL DAY!”…(Now you add on a concluding line of your own as to how a rebel might apply this notion to how he thinks.)
Once the bullets are removed,
Every joke ever told is in fact a revolutionist pastry. *
92128-25
Looking in a three-way mirror one man thought: “It’s tricky being your own, ex-‘best friend.'”
92128-26
And to make sure you’d feel better, Kyroot noted that your local reality just said that you shouldn’t worry about anything;
That it had its eye on the pulse of the public,
And its other foot in the grave.
92128-27
An ole man turned the kid’s head toward the city and said to him: “We all dance.
We all dance together;
We can dance together physically
emotionally, or verbally–
but we do dance.
And as a casual interlude Kyroot offered up this addendum:
Men love, laugh, struggle, create, kill, and die without knowing why, ‘But it’ s always to transform and transfer needed energy. (Man, indeed; The original model for the idea of: “The Dance of Life.”)
92128-28
Today’s short story: After extensive torture the rebel prisoner finally said:
“The revolution is the ‘Extreme Fiction.'” And his cell mate later asked if that was actually so, and he replied: “No, But what else could I tell them?” - 92128-29
- An “unnamed source”– close to the throne” leaked this comment to the press:
- “Anyone who neurally dares go where, ‘No man has gone before’ Is either a revolutionist, or else is, ‘stupid Man’!”
- …(He says don’t quote him on that unless you’re in concurrence.)
92128-30 - More of Kyroot , “Neural Aeronautical News”:
- Everyone’s mind has an “auto pilot” – but most peop;e salute their’s and call it, “Captain.”
92108-31
Notice on the License Bureau’s wall: - “Animals can’t think, so man does so for them; How come he won’t do the same for himself?!” ..(And IMMEDIATELY!, the next four applicants FAILED the eye test.)
- A theologian viewer writes to say:
- “A man who will make fun of words will eventually come to worse
"And Kyroot-of-the-cloth observes: It is all right to be dressed by a cheap clothier as long as your fathers not an optometrist - 92128-32
A Kyrootian based city conclusion: - The blaming of culture causes culture.
- 92128-33
One rebel told his buddy: - “If you look RIGHT AT people when they’re doing stuff: you can usually see them do it.”
- …(And the closest city spoke up to say: “Shut up, fool!”)
- 92128-34
Another myth from another reality: - When god got tired of making creatures deaf he began making them serious.
- 92128-35
…and this item from Kyroot: - One man, still afloat amidst the continuing drama of the collective, says that the reason he just can’t give up show business is because of: “The smell of the herd! and the roar of the herd!
- 92128-36
Then aiming the lad’s view again toward the urban region, the ole man said, “If you squint, and look at it just so there’s nothing quite so frightening as the dense-and-convinced.’ - 92128-37
- A guy writes to the Advice Doctor:
- “I don’t eat my own feet, but I can suck on my toe.”
- And the good doctor replied: “Hey bastard! You just TOOK a bite!”
- The General Manager of this cable tv station just stepped in to say: “I am NOT the General Manager of this station.”
- 92128-38
- More City Lore:
- A thinker with footnotes and references also has a fungus.
- 92128-39
- …and Kyroot observed:
- A fellow who’d looked at several things from several different angles says: “For ordinary minds to talk about thinking is like
- Louis X1V discussing proper neck wear.”
- 92128-40
- In his own way one guy figured out:
- “If life depended on man to ‘BE alive’ –THEN maybe we would be what we eat.”
- 92128-41′
- …and Kyroot said:
- Yesterday noon, a man stood in speaker’s park and proclaimed: “Be not mislead by those who say that you are being mislead, for what’s ‘going on’ is what is said to be going on.”
- 92128-42
- Neural Night Flares — Tales:
- A man turned to his sweetheart, who used to be his friend – and vice versa – and said: “Don’t lets you, me, or us be concerned over it — I was dumb long before I met you.”
- 92128-43
One local reality wrote its mama: - ‘The creatures who’ll suffer are MY kinda guys —
- -And the ones who’ll suffer and then WHINE about it are…well..
- Mom, they’re the kinda .guys I’d like to bring over for dinner sometime.”
- And a citation from the recent field work of Masters & Kyroot notes:
- It does little good for the neuro-sexually health-minded to don iron-clad undergarments Inasmuch as it will serve as no protection whatsoever when life says again: “YOU get on the bottom!” — which it will, Buckeroos which it will.
- 92128-44
One guy had a seeing-eye dog who was blind — - And another guy said: “I’ve got a mind JUST like-that.”
- 92128-45
- Another of Kyroot’s, “Built-In Safety Reminders”:
- While in a herd
You can never know you’re IN a herd.
92128-46
This, from the latest edition of, “Xyroot & Peckerson’s Field Guide To Bird Types”:
Just before the dumb get even dumber they get serious-er.
92128-47
Trashman’s Delight:
Garbage causes stupidity; Garbage causes intelligence;
Garbage causes garbage, and, “Take me home, James!”
92128-48
…and Kyroot said:
In the city the creative make the ordinary feel uncomfortable —
In his own mind a rebel artist does this to the collective thought he’s accumulated
92128-49
Then,
After pondering on certain of the matters recently raised, One man said:
“In that case — You’ll know that the ‘meal is about over’ when they bring you the check.” Yes, (added Kyroot’s head waiter),
That, and when you hear the bolts pulled back on the rifles, and the sound of your own mind switching to “auto-pilot.”
92128-50
…and Kyroot said:
As they were whizzing along at highway speed down the interstate,
A passenger suddenly leapt to his feet and declared:
“We are ALL certifiable IDIOTS on this bus,”
And a chap sitting about half way back replied: “I don’t REQUIRE validation myself,thank you.”
9 2 1 2 8 -5 1
A rebelliously fired mother told all her off, and on-springs:
“If you’re gonna sleep with the passionless thinking of the collective,
Don’t bother searching around for some sort of ‘brain rubbers’ for protection — cause there AIN’T no such thing.”
92128-52
….(then Kyroot expanded on an earlier Kyroot):
And further: The hunger for “role models” overall reveals the health of-a herd:
92128-53
One city warned a certain rebellious lad:.
“If you leave here now don’t you EVER expect to come BACK!”
And to himself the kid thought: “Talk about your wasted warning!” — then whistled,
skipped, & split.
A grownish fellow said:
“If there’s ANYthing I hate worse than plain reality, it’s metaphors and allegories…..No, wait — I actually hate allegories and metaphors worse than reality’ Nope! hold it: I hate ’em all both-and-equally-as-much! — and I MEAN THAT SINCERELY!”
92128-54
If you’re ordinary, then THE “Great Conspiracy” is the one against the dumb………of which you’re a part.
92128 -55
As they danced and see-sawed one of them finally spoke: “A man who can think will try anything.”
And his partner said:
“Don’t you mean, ‘A man with no FEAR will try anything'”? And he replied: “Yes, I guess, but I was afraid to say so.”
Moral:
What EVER the ordinary parts of the mind will tell itself — IT’LL accept! — No matter HOW dumb it is!
….(And the guy’s brain said:
“Well you don’t have to shout.” )
So then, that makes the final question THIS: WHY are “morals” always CAPPED and italicized? —
…Why?, why?, why?
92128-56
…and Kyroot said:
A man who’s not funny can never be serious — properly serious, that is.
92128-57
A guy looked in his dressingroom mirror and asked himself:
“What’s the POINT in struggling on for success in this kind of show business?” And his rebellious reflection replied:
“Cause if you ever reach the point of being an opening act for reality you no longer need an agent!”
As he toyed with his remote control, a viewer wondered:
“Could he be spelling ‘agent’ like: ‘r-o-l-e m-o-d-e-l?
…(Then after noshing on an even MORE disturbing possibility,
He put the remote to the good and righteous use for which god intended it.)
92128-58
…and Kyroot reaffirmed for your confirment that:
Talk is cheap — which is why it is so inexpensive.
…(Then Kyroot thanked himself on your behalf.)
92128-59
….then Kyroot put into words:
Men’s secret dream of heaven is a place where the environment doesn’t cause ANYTHING.
92128-60
One guy says he’s kinda come up with the following formula: “A man can either,
(1): Feel the way he naturally feels;
or, (2): Feel the way he naturally feels and struggle against it;
or, (3): Feel the way he naturally feels, Struggle against it,
And after he sees what good it does, say:
‘Ah, screw it!’, and get on with it.”
(And Kyroot noted): By saying, “Get on with it,” I assume he means one’s natural life.
“And would any one on the Hoskin’s Team like to field that question for ten points?’
92128-61
…and Kyroot said:
There is only one form of torture acceptable to a revolutionist.
92128-62
In the gallery a guy thought:
“Perhaps the direct art of a real rebel master would be like a Greased bullet fired through a Pollack painting.
….(or even a fatty ham sandwich hurled at Moses.”)
92128-63
…and Kyroot said:
Routine neurons thought up the word, “foreigner” to call others so they could tell who they themselves were.
“Ah yes!” say those in the herd, as though they were in the individual; “I can know me any where by knowing who I’m not.”
(Amongst rebel range hands this is known as:
“Cattle whistling in the dark.” — which IS a pretty futile effort, what with the overwhelming noise a collective makes as it thunders along.)
Later that evening, around the campfire, some of the cow-pokers congratulated themselves on their charitable use of the description, “thunders along” rather than, “moseys along.”
92128-64
And on that dark and dreary day,
As they stood around the hole in the rain,
Some of the mourners began to sing:
“Who is going —
Down in the grave with me?
Who is going —
Down in the grave with me…?”
And sitting on a nearby tombstone, the revolution glanced over and said: “Don’t look at me — unLESS you MEAN IT!”
92128-65
Now for the, “Mystical Moment” segment of our program:
A viewer writes to the Advice Doctor:
“Dear Doctor: Would you say that there is some kind of ‘cosmic-justice’ at work whereby if a man begins to believe that he is TOO smart he will cease to be so?” Dear Viewer: I’d just say he was stupid — is that cosmic enough for you?!
92128–66
A kid noticed: “The serious stand funny.”
92128-67
And another guy, sitting at the tv-trough, dropped his remote while fiddlingwith it, and as he bent down to get it, thought:
“If in some particular instance all that needed to be said COULDN’T be said in five words, I wonder if it’d be in multiples of five…”?
92128-68
On “Grand Ordination Day” local reality whispered to the kingdom’s new “High-&-Royal-Priest”: “Never say the word, ‘goobers’ in public.”
92128-69
And an interested observer comments:
“Then it would seem to me that the study OF the weather CAUSES the weather.” And Kyroot replied: “Yes – if you’re spelling ‘weather’ with a ‘W.'”
(And once again ole K. crossed his fingers, just a’hopin’ and a’wishin’ that you’d “get it.”
92 2 8 -7 0
…and from the mines of Kyroot, more, “Definitions That Would Normally Defy Description”:
A rebel: One who can look life straight in the eye and not blink;
A rebel artist: One who can look life dead in the eye, and not only not blink,
But smile and ask: “How’s your mama’nd them?”
92128-71
…and Kyroot said:
A Man-Of-Life told his son this about the life of man:
“If the ‘Story you have to tell,‘ is about your race, your religion, or your culture, then YOU have no story.”
92128-72
…and Kyroot said:
Lest anyone mistakenly believe that when I say “ordinary,” I refer to anyone’s
appearance, wealth, or position….
note that ordinary means that one thinks in the manner ordinarily expected by local conditions.
92128-73
The street corner speaker spoke:
“As long as man is alive and has a tongue he will complain!”
And an alert kid in the crowd turned to a stranger and asked: “You got a knife?”
92128-74
…and Kyroot said:
On days when he knew he’d be working close to dangerous, whirling city neural-machinery, this one man would wear his sister’s loose-fitting clothing;
and on days when he knew he’d be near REALLY dangerous machinery — he’d wear his sister!
One morning on the way to work he passed a fruit stand that displayed a sign that said: “Modifers: By the pound,” and further noted that you would get a free small jar of Additional dumbness with every three pounds purchased.
A viewer asks: “What would I get if I could memorize and remember every single Kyroot you ever wrote?” And Kyroot guessed: You mean besides a headache?
92128-75
..and Kyroot noted:
Whenever it’d come time for a little free-wheelin’ improvisation,
And the band leader’d call out: “Take it.” None of the serious players COULD!
92128.-16
…and Kyroot said:
“Local conditions” include the time. . . . also from which a rebel must escape.
92128-11
After some reflection on contemporary revolutionist ideas, one man finally mused:
“Okay then: If our minds ARE like radio receivers, then ‘out there‘
they aren’t sending us any really new, or informative broadcasts.”
(Even whilst- finding his own ripe observation curious and perplexing,
He still wondered somehow if he shouldn’t go get measured for (and-as) his own role model?
921 2 8-78
And yet another, “Fun Time Definition” from Kyroot’s Kiddie Romper Room:
The revolution: The ability to look at a wall head-on, and think: “It’s a wall.”
92128-79
Someone writes Kyroot: “Why do you call people who can think differently, ‘revolutionists'”? Dear Someone: Because the metaphysical name, “roofers” had already been used.
And Kyroot noted: Within ordinary systems some of the most vigorous activity of Energy-transformation can be in the churning-up of its account via conflict over its name.
…(And sad to say, but behind many of your backs, words continue to giggle and point.)
92128-80
On Tuesday last, an ole man told the kid: “Conventional thought will tell you ANYTHING to keep its place in line.”
92128–81
A certain rebel warrior reminded some of the troops:
“A serious man has serious bullets.”
(And as they frolicked toward the front some of them donned their “Happy-flack-jackets.”)
92128-82
Another tip from Kyroot on, “How To Handle The Mind, (If You Got Yours At A Collective Lot):
One man put his car up for sale and decided to worry LATER over the fact that he didn’t HAVE one.
And a viewer writes:
“By now I must of heard you give out a hundred or more ‘tips like that, and so far I ain’t a bit thinner or richer.”
…The Advice Doctor asks that we point out to our television audience for ONE LAST TIME the fact that to get the results the viewer just referred to, You MUST use all of these tips and suggestions in conjunction with a decrease in food consumption, and an increase in personal wealth.
(92128-83
…and Kyroot, (of Funk & Kyroot), brought out this up-to-date definition:
Life: The one apparent effect WITH no cause.
92128-84
‘Awful Travel Info a la Definition:
Collective Thinking; when the calling out of the omitted specifics of the bus schedule turns out to be just as you expected.
Then suddenly, standing by the window, one of the junior Funks was struck:
“Do you REALIZE if words actually HAD any meaning they wouldn’t need to be defined”?
…(Based on that sort of behavior I fear the lad has little future upstairs in the boardroom.)
…and Kyroot said:
Coversion always requires a weapon.
92128-86
Someone sent the same letter to both the Advice Doctor and Miss Etiquette,
And after discovering this, Miss E. decided to do the responding:
“Dear Miss Etiquette:” (began, interestingly enough, her version of the communique) I have given my good attention to this Kyroot show about this neural revolution-thing, and I have thought about it all real good, but I still want to know WHY We shouldn’t go ahead and — Eat, drink and be merry since tomorrow we’re STILL gonna die?!” And our maven of manners responds:
Dear Viewer: I too watch Kyroot faithfully, and I’m sure he’s never said you SHOULDN’T.
…(In private on their own time Miss E. and the Doctor both then wondered if and why this would make the man feel any better?!)
92128-87
…and Kyroot said:
There is a way to use non-polarized, creative thinking as a kind of prognosticator in reverse.
…(Which, [not withstanding the contrary protestations of the big-spenders in analysis] is in truth, once again, the kind of thing only of interest to a revolutionist.)
92128-88
Another FINE example of how life cleans up after its OWN self-in the city of man’s mind:
On special — VERY special, public occasions,
The long hairs growing between the mayor’s eyebrows would bind together to spell out the message:
“A man with the name of Alonzo P. Gruntwrapper, has scant damn business LAUGHING AT Anyone with the name, Alonzo P. Gruntwrapper.”
P.S.: His honor’s son came so dangerously close to understanding this that Kyroot recommended he be sent away to “Summer-camp-for-the up-and-coming who MAY be coming up a BIT TOO FAST.”
…(And the city’s leader seemed GENUINELY touched that Kyroot was concerned enough To offer such a suggestion.)
92128-89
And this other letter from a viewer to Kyroot:
“I like it when you make up letters from viewers in which they make comments about you and your show; cause every time you engage in any kind of self-reference I’m able to think just a little less of you.”
92128-90
…and Kyroot continued a point:
,Conversion always requires a weapon, be it a book, or a battering ram — While the revolution remains unarmed.
92 1 2 8 -9 1
…and Kyroot said:
Only the brainless can be heartless—Not fretting over the inevitable is something else.
92128 92
One guy thought:
“I believe if I could just figure out where all of the Kyroots actually come from then I’d have it ALL figured out!”
And Kyroot said: “Say-y-y, was that ME that just said that?”
92128-93
Someone writes: “Yeah, I’ve been watching your show — SO WHAT?!”
92128-94
…and Kyroot reminded:
In the neural land of rebels,
The sole purpose in being a good shot is for the sake of suicide.
….Dig it: This is WHY Captain Irony, and Commander Sarcasm are invincible and immortal.
92128 9 5
…and Kyroot pushed on down an earlier line:
Conversion always requires a weapon:be it a book, or a battering ram,
while the revolution remains unarmed, and thus perplexes observers even MORE.
When a man figures you want something from him, and he can’t figure out what it is, it makes him REALLY want to say: “Hey! what IS IT that you’re wanting from me?!”
92128 – 96
,…and even this one kid finally noticed: “The dumb just LOVE-E-E to give directions.”
92128 1
Picture this-like-this:
Non polar-based thinking in the human brain– a snake in a garden hose.
92128-98
In care of our show arrived this letter to Kyroot:
“I would like to know what differences, OR connections there are between the various Conversations you portray as occurring between such figures as:
The ole man and the kid;
The king and his ministers, or subjects;
Gods and their priests, or the creatures themselves;
Speakers-in-the-park and their audiences;
Viewers who write to the Advice Doctor, and Miss Etiquette;
Local reality talking to man;
Life talking to local reality,
And life itself speaking to man?”
And Kyroot wishes for me to announce that this IS tonight’s winner in the: “Most Stuff Asked At One Time — All-In-A-Bunch — Letter” contest.
92128-99
Then Kyroot sketched for us another defining picture, in these words: Neural fatigue: The natural elixer of the dense.
92128100
One guy’s personal motto: “The THRILL of victory! — the agony of wanting it.”
92128401
…and Kyroot said:
While on a training mission, out near, the chuck wagon, a rebel sarge told the troops: “A man who knows HOW can prepare food using just a pen and paper.”
92128-102
After some years and much looking around one man finally thought: “You know, if it wasn’t for me. . . I wouldn’t have to put up with so much crap!”
92128-103
…and Kyroot the old energy surveyor said:
Even where no dialogue is seen. . . . a dialogue exists.
92128-10,4
The inspiring, throat-stopping slogan of this one city organization is:
“No man stands so dumb as when he bends over to help himself.”
…(I for one, could JUST cry!)
92128-105
…and Kyroot said:
One man came in and made this report:
“Every time I try to do something new and exciting there’s this ‘something’ that comes along and runs over my foot.”
And the desk Sargent asked: “Can you describe it?- did you get a good look at it”? And the man replied: “No, it’s too fast and too large.”
And they both nodded, as if understanding —
Though neither one of them had the least idea what the last part of the man’s response meant.
92128-106
And a guy said: “God! I hate it when this stuff makes sense. . . .” Naw, I don’t really–
I just said that — I really love it . . . . . but I’s just embarrassed to say so.”
92128-107
The following is a direct quote:
“Men who know a lot bump into things. . . . . Oh, pardon me.”
…(and Kyroot grinned and whispered: “The city made me do it.”)
92128-1 0,8
And for those of you pursuing a certain, certain line, Kyroot noted:
The personal revolution might be the only operation that can thrive on non self-reference.
“Yonkers!”thought a guy, “If true, that would do three things:
Explain a lot;
Require more effort, and
Offer additional opportunities.”
92128109
…then Kyroot really pushed the matter:
For those actively doing it. . . . the revolution, at any given moment is doing three things:
Explaining a lot;
Requiring more,
And offering even MORE.
92128110
…and Kyroot said:
After managing to finally get off the bus and hitch on to another kind of transport, one guy’s mind asked him: “Just WHERE are you TAKING me?!”
And the guy just smiled! — just, S-M-I-L-E-D, exclamation point! “smiled”!
