Is punk racist?   Yes?  Most especially in it's spruced up "New Wave" manifestation. Are you kidding ?   Look at some group names,  Blondie ... Hello?    Another ... The Police ... Hi hi hi ???     Lest there be doubt, "The Police" were hardly "Four Non-Blondes."   They were, believe me, three.   And trust me, they were blond.    The main thing, they shop-lifted black music (Funk, beaty, meaty, funky.  Funky "funk," and dressed it "in white face."   Not that that was anything new.   Paul Whiteman, anybody?  The "business man's bounce"?   There were the Count and the Duke, okay, but who was the "King"?   And who was the king not of swing but of ... "Rock and Roll"?   Elvis Lives Matter   ... ELM ... ECM ... for that matter, Eberhard Weber.   And a German Machine-music Band ... Kraftwerk .  Literally robots as musicians, and funk-yyyy ... it was, und...

 ... Circle is a social construct with no geometrical meaning:     A certain type of smug individual is fond of asserting that "race is a social construct, with no biological meaning ."    Is there, exists there, a single individual who actually believes this (no, hook them up to a polygraph lie detector, millions more, billions, believe in Jesus, none actually believes this)?   Why do they say it?  What do they mean?  Once you strip away the jargon, aside from a few (ask them about "gender") they believe something like the following:  in the Platonic World there exist true circles, triangles and squares. In the real world we ask and cannot answer questions like "what is the true length of the coastline of Great Britain?"    It is a fractal, it is unanswerable.   Just as in the real world we won't in our long lives come across a mathematically perfect circle whose circumference (perimeter) is exactly equal to Pi out to an infin...

   ... Fabulous ... just great ...      The Earthly Sphere.   The Nietzschean viewpoint, imagined Nietzschean worm, not the great hero, is hardly one of aspirational  Erlkönig and Olympic Nebelstreif  .   This is a perspective from Earth, not from the Antiomnicause of Memes as Gods and eternal "return" like McArthur to, well, not British Isles.     Some things are undeniable, bare, naked, stubborn "facts," not "interpretations" of goings viral.   Take America, once populated by American Indians .   Now repopulated by public, very public, very visible, Indian Americans .       Romantic, Sylvan, even some groups considered "savage," a cognate of "sylvan" of xylan, "hostiles" and peaceful settled pueblo or "Apollonian" sober variety, or assortment. They were here. They were real. And like some minor planet, are exiled out beyond the "cyber" sphere into superannuatedness and trashed by unwittin...

   Why are the laws of fad and fashion so endlessly fascinating?     The Iron Law?    The iron laws of Memes are the, is the, a singular law at heart, the law of the pendulum swing. In 1952 was published a "future history" tale about the near future. The very near future, 1952. The premise of the hard, hardest of hard, science fiction story was that the well-observed pendulums of fad and fashion, of skirt and eyeglass, of philosophy and literary bowdlerizatory excursion, applied to larger affairs as well.   In a world of Einsteins and Galileos, and Christopher Columbuses (Christophers "Columbus") (before he was cancelled), why and how could there be such passionate hankerings after just being an ordinary normal person?    Of Magellans and Elcanos and Enriques da Moluccas?   To be nameless and faceless and merely, only, hardly uniquely, painted with the passions du jour ?   It was of course our old friend:  Nietzschean Gesundhei...

      Or at least anti-anti-Nietzsche.    This could be, well, not an imbecile move.     Here's the clinging clue:  a Zeitgeist where everything normal and natural and healthy is "cancelled." Shunned. Mocked. Ridiculed.    I won't say "crucified."   Although if it were ...     A Wortpolize i who bans every alphabet-word.  A Big Bird abject jekyll and hide the stew wick's "is" of protected categories, safely up in Heaven safe from earthly inspection. Even via spectrograph of astronomy.    Depending on what the word "is" is it might as well be a clockwork orange .    Billie Holiday singing in the rain of bowdlerizing condescension.     Nothing off-kilter to see here. Nothing untoward. Everything is toward. As if it were Mandala.    A vanishing point of nihilismaticism .     

      As Gods.   These are not the familiar internet "memes," these are huge, Memes. What in theoretical papers had been called meme-plexes, only they can in Darwin Economy fashion balloon and wax enormous.   The quintessential selfish Meme is Islam (but in it's extreme fundamentalist/mentalist violent manifestations almost exclusively). The suicide bomber infected with it who blows himself to smithereens. This is the archetypical Meme whose boundless selfishness, it only cares about being itself spread, whatever the cost to the "martyrs," displays for all to see and know and wonder. Why? How?   So salient, God-sized Olympian Memes would be:  Islam, Communism (think of Pol Pot), Catholicism.   Think of their ritual cannibalism, the 'grokking' in fullness,    Water Brothers?   Blood brothers !!!   (via an intermediate)   In a way this is a return to the spirit "we haven't had here, since 1969," that "society made them do ...

      Through the Looking Gal/Lass.   The archetypes are dead. The left killed all the archetypes. Male and female were not the last archetypes, masculine and feminine, anima/animus/anime, etc. we will, as an issue, sidestep here, but still ...   They're dead .   The left (and the squishy Liberal lump/rump left in the center 'left') are desperately seeking role-models. And failing and flailing and fluctuating and singing tenor like a chorus of croaking frogs in a drying mud puddling.   The Swamp (a mirage).    The 1970s had "the anti-hero," the second half of the 2020s, the second half of "twenties,"  has the urine smell of San Francisco, the Oregon homeless hailing form "California," and the sound of breaking auto-glass and smash and grab acquisitivity.   Graffiti.   The "authentic expression of a vibrant ethnic community" and "side shows" and graffiti .   Always graffiti, but never physical graffiti. Count on it. You ca...
