thebeginningisnigh, I love it when I can't at all comprehend who is speaking what to who, which is most of the times, to a point where I've made this incomprehension deliberate, I think, although incomprehension in humans doesn't necessarily have to be deliberate at all. We all love mondegreen don't we, because our inner suggestive bias is always music to our own ears? Burroughs's cut up techniques got nothing on you. You're truly the ticket that exploded. But glad to hear your garbled self back. "Look before you leap, okay? Do you read me? May all your dreams come true He's standing by the door He's got something in his hands All the money's gone All the money's gone The days we spend, go on and on Shift Fucking youth Working youth May all your dreams come true." The first line interestingly reminds me of The Killing Joke, one that I can never quite get enough of. Also, of course, it's Moore, so it fits snugly with Manhattan, Rorschach, Veidt et al. I'm not sure if i've shared it before or if most have heard the joke. Here goes: *context is Joker and Batman "You know, it's funny. This reminds me of a joke. See, there were two guys locked in a lunatic asylum and one night, one night they decided they didn't like that anymore. They decided to escape. So, they made it up to the roof and there, just across this narrow gap, they see rooftops, stretching across town, stretching to freedom. Now, the first guy, he jumps right across, no problem. But his friend, -chuckles- no way, he's afraid of falling. So, the first guy, he has an idea. He says, "Hey, I got this flashlight with me. I'll shine it across the gap between the buildings and you can walk across the beam and join me." But the second guy says, "What do you think I am, crazy? You'll just turn it off when I'm halfway across." Anon, I think the idea of 'value' is as old as us. Apart from it being subjective and continual. So is "test". Going under is what makes life. The distance of life from life, life from the life we desire, it's perpetual, the indifference of life. Again these tests and under you speak of are I suspect only related to the token. In life I welcome the "under" and the "test", and I think by extension the token itself has been subjected to that innumerable times. Here's to under then. And the over. And all of it in time. Simultaneous time.
