“I have found it aint necessarily so – what them bibles tells us, just aint necessarily so.”
–Leo’ Sullivan
‘Recuperation’ is Sits jargon for spectacle’s power to capture, subvert-&-redeploy threatening views or action, even unto ‘revolution’. Our detournement response flew when new- & on up until our hyper-novel 2012 universal access to bourgeois-mindless DIY memes flooded the Adbusters/ subvertizing/ Zuck-IG market. Occasionally we still find effective detournement instigating genuine Situations… Just not so often in 2024’s sweetly-sanitized garbage-time, where advance of detournement form now explicitly requires inceptional n-tensfications.
Now it’s a bit different. The spectacle has lost its grip on the human imagination by desperate over-reach of powers’ war character. As AI can’t cover all that ass, more subversive war goes underground. What’s critical is denying our deceit its divisiveness. Towards ntegrating our internal, emotional minefields and defended territories, we are drifting… Drifiting beyond the grit spirits of spec hopes & fears, beyond history-poltx-denial towards loving universess’ integration with the panpsychic humane. Fire- its comic iconic sparky sound- is found within each transgressively trusting, cheerful derive.
Have you ever visited a psychologist? Compelling creation arises from knowing, from experience- otherwise, as Guy says, poetry arises when nothing else can. Poesie’s a different case. Yet don’t the poets also have something to say from experience?
Point being: ‘write what you know’ may be difficult but its quite practical. I may rarely mention the names aloud but here i write about people i know, my professors and how they interact with their various societies, my society… And withour alleged “arc of history”. I tend to mention my mediated sources without trying to enter into their lives- 1- bc i dont actually know them,.. and -2- doesn’t it seem fame and name-dropping is a broke crutch we’re better off writing away?
I have found thru study of methematics, it aint necessarily so – what them bibles tells us, just aint necessarily so. can we make life, create new minds – each full of secret nfinities? What might this mean, meta-mathematically? And where do these minds explore at night? So many narratives to explore. I find we see just what we are prepared to see and little more. So perhaps it pays to have some naive expectation that we are in control. Rather than ceding mind to mediated gods, we can enjoy just feeling **alone**.
WW2 was never designed to defend minorities or dear little Poland from Nazis. 2024 psyops isnt about protecting Palestine or abortion rights, either from-or-for fascists. its about sselling more poverty for a more sustainable kleptocracy. and so what! to vote is a most affirming ritual, scripted in Land Of The Free patrimony; post-war protected by FDIC banking, secured by every Zion nvestment scaling up international incentives to the delight of each local, transparent colonial-control mafia slacker pol.
Towards hive-mind communion there are #ExquisiteCorpse sites out there- where people write as ‘ensemble’. We might go there. Even under FB’s terrorism. Yet imo Exquisite Corpse requires a dedicated Surrealist group, as Sits tend to be less-than Agreeable types.
And we can apply #ExquisiteCorpse to recuperate our own sustaining spectacled product. Imo what prevents this is appropriate vision. when engaging free-flow a set of boundaries is helpful. Limits are the only tools any spontaneous creation requires. Providing magnetizing boundaries within an anarchic freedom provides context, so all appears coherent.
What is magnetizing? Human feelings, certain directions, appropriate energies – the resolution of appearances of conflict. Exquisite Corpse – & any social vision- fails without the clear coherent direction which life enforces. writers like Dick don’t fall into the trap of aimless wandering; they employ such human traps.
Perhaps we- the world- arise from infinite awareness, as its occasional experience of limitation, loneliness, n-teraction- aka creation? voila. Thus that which is universal, common, attracts those abiding within more general, common, re-assuring creative experiences. SI, in conflict with politx, attracted more elemental curiosities (eg., what/ how is our State of poverty?) so, what of those naifs who allow all curiosity, allow all revulsion, invite all threats from above as our inseperable experience of creative power?
Expansion is a transformation of our spectacle limits- aka our internalized cognative-dissonance arising within the external environment of spec subversions. Per Newton’s 2nd Law, any contrary force applied results in recuperation, &/or filtering into categories.
Expansion as a politx of resistance otoh is indeed futile. contributing to society *beyond and above* objective boundaries, per Sun Tzu, Ueshiba, Machiavelli- suggests we maintain our universally friendly, non-territorial integration as ‘the mandates of heaven’.
Ancients & psychologists generally suggest Expanding is a field of 4-fold boundary subversion initiating 1) an aligned, commodious pacification, banishing objective via inherent agreement (aka presenting as peace). Followed by two acts of enrichment- 2) the feast of bavardage, the drunken convo presenting and exchanging spirited gifts, benedictions, gracious supplications, more drunkenness of convo and conditions allowing 3) The Situation: the magnetic, frenly, mutually-attractive return to objectives (as artsy abstractions where Agreeableness is weak, per the Sits’ inspiration, the 1st International Dada Fair).
Expansion, completion, dissolution of conflict -aka tantric method- arise as we radiate our personal, internalized integration of process. We won’t be changing this world where we won’t allow it to change us. It is our own internal magical field of attention sending us invitations to expand gloriously, to appreciate… Or attach to ignorance, haste, fear.
‘Do not believe- do not assume that order and stability are always good. The old must always give to new life and birth new things. a dangerous realization bc it tells us that we must eventually part with much familiar to us. And that hurts. Unless we can psychologically accommodate change, we ourselves die, inwardly. objects, customs, ways of life must perish so that the authentic human being matters’ – PKD
