i'm in the lab making the next book happen so we are once again digging into the archives. lore: when i posted this people started discussing why she would want him to do this and some people got really mad. great times. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/8a7f3664a4bdb91a4106b094967cb1e69228fee2c38563425729185ba05112bd.file

in ‘the crystal and the dragon’, david wade sees the tendencies of islamic calligraphy and japanese calligraphy as reflecting two different worldviews: their view on nature, God, everything - embodied in the level of apparent order in their calligraphy: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/078c20a7574559e800957a6acba8ed250dc0cece49b3e5354fac4a98b25bd857.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/4130bc64b7f2b39ae5734a1cc9b9e92c9c9224bba989e522361476621520920b.file

you did brainrot? thats cool. i did brainferment. yeah. i have a totally new thing in here.

for self narrative clarification i was not movie watching age when this came out. i was probably playing with this (cleric, clergy - clerk) https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b1e22ac10a08962d17b53a1a807d86a6b3955b33bc4ed9f95acd5460edd63f8a.file

when you work at such jobs, at least before the wal-martization of everything, you had both types of people: some liberated by, and some oppressed by: their grand view of themselves. two people can choose to occupy the same station in life and still live in opposite universes. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/d70a39efc2ca65a08980b2eaf1dd3ab9b0b7f46e5409688e07ee0150fc1d92c6.file

the other is oppressed totally by his own conception of himself: he also feels better than the public, but he cements this by imagining he occupies a higher role than he does. so, hes always stressed, imagining better relationships, he has the low station but none of the benefits https://hell.twtr.plus/media/e164f3b1ab2d3970c7f4e2cd5dc1f1d7629ef85eecc0d13ebcaccfb02789e3b5.file

this ended the ability to do anything other than work, which was the whole point of having such a job. thats really the point of the movie. both main characters feel like theyre better than the public, but only one uses his low station to his advantage: by freedom-maxxing. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/90f3da4b5026a1c552ff1c5034c5b8b705c9e9a5dd6af82cab68b8b5426bff3c.file

i had a ton of “lame jobs”. its something i enjoy, in a sense, for a time. if it was 1994 i probably could have been content just working the exact position documented in the film - a clerk. sadly they broke the social contract and put cameras into every workplace like this.
