In my ongoing polemic against post-Modern tripe, masking as intellectual mysticism, or what I simply call Modern and Nihilism, I offer this “saad truth”…
The practice of slinging together impressive sounding words to imply you are saying something deep, or that you are saying something at all, is used by the most desperate pseudo-intellectual buffoons across many fields…and it is most popular in the forum circuits where lost minds desperate for attention and acknowledgement often use this tactic as abstract artist, with no talent, use the method of shame, and peer pressure to make a name for themselves as “profound artists” whose works can then be sold, to naive, impressionable imbeciles for extraordinary amounts.
The method uses popularity, peer pressure for an effect.
Some gibberish is put together, some paint splashed on canvas, then marketed as the new, trending, revolution in human thinking and/or art.
Ant resistance is shamed with accusation of stupidity, because only the deserving can fully appreciate the nonsense. most succumb to pressure and begin pretending that they too see the “genius” in the nonsense - the few simply ignore it, leaving fools to be taken advantage by such infantile ploys.
In the field of philosophy where science meets art, this practice is becoming increasingly popular.
with it idiots, charlatans, can declare themselves anything they desire, projecting their preferred image.
Using words, as cRappers use them, to produce an effect, to trigger emotions, to tickle primal instincts, they string together words, in word associations exposing their own psychosis, their own needs, and then sell it as profound insight.
If studied carefully one realizes how shallow and infantile the implied message is.
Its purpose is to feed into primal emotions, and not to raise concepts to lucidity.
Sampling is rampant, as recycling takes the place of creativity to rearrange the old in newer, more fashionable ways.
There is no meaning, other then the actor trying to pull all who listen or read into his own psychosis, creating a clan of collective neurosis.
Pain shard is suffering reduced to a tolerable level.
Plagiarism is avoided by tweaking the words, rearranging or replacing them with other ones, as if with this alteration a deep insight has been produced.
Those baffled by the pretenses, are accused of lacking something necessary to fully experience the magic.
Those seeing through the transparency of the motives are ridiculed or slandered, forced to remain silence, so as to not shatter the illusion being manufactured.
Sampling is the repetition of past creativity, by simply including it along side other ones, and then synthesizing the entire piece of garbage with a hook, like a rap sequence, full of innuendos and multiple references.
The listener plucks bits and pieces, combining them in his own mind in ways that have meaning for him.
The piece itself is meaningless, purposefully incoherent, allowing the listener to project into it his/her own personal experiences, triggered by a verbal sequence.
to clarify it would reduce it to garbage. Its magic lies in its incoherence, directed by a seductive background primal beat, and those sampled melodies, triggering emotional reactions, imagery, sensations.
In philosophical contexts the method restricts itself to the theoretical, the noetic, the completely abstract.
The world is really a nuisance, it draws inspiration from, samples from, imagery to trigger the appropriate reactions in the reader.
Such “philosophical work” is meaningless. It simply takes advantage of simplicity, of need, of lostness, a desire to find purpose in the one reading - it exploits weakness.
Sequence of words can be anything, since there is no order, no world, to restrict their usage. The only directing utility is to trigger, in the reader, sensations, emotions.
Having read the trash the reader feels enlightened, inspired, when, in fact, nothing with any pragmatic meaning, or application, is presented.
The actor/writer may market himself, promote himself, by declaring himself someone impressive, using some popular idol as the icon.
Self promotion is essential, because the work itself is garbage, and will confuse, if the writer does not imply greatness within it, hoping myriads of readers will dedicate themselves in finding it, and if they do not, will pretend they have.
He will not push them, known that their subjectivity will be enough.
To evade exposure, the actor/writer will cloud his meaningless gibberish with enough insinuations as to permit him to claim any position.
Being misunderstood is essential to defend himself against those that know what he is doing, but of pushed the multiple insinuations will allow him to go any way with his defensive retreat.
I’s how Love became a mystical bond, conveniently bridging reason and irrationality, for the Christian charlatans, but any other positive sensation, any positive motive, like survival, will do.
A possible alternative would be self-preservation raised to the level of universal force, binding everything from stones to amoeba in a cosmic embrace.
But to make the base disappear in magical mysticism, you must pretend more is going on, by changing the words being used.
To place it within art, an untalented artist may paint a tree, but to hide his inability to paint it realistically, he may disguise his lack of talent by painting it different hues, or by exaggerating its form, or by rearranging its parts, as if the artists motive hides a profound insight, rather than a lack of skill.
A “musicians” lacking talent wills ample melodies, splice them together, and then speak over them, word-association gibberish - he may even hide his inability to sing, in this way.
The emphasis is places on the effect, not the cause, just as it is placed on nurture and not nature, as the sum of all nurturing, or on the subjective rather than the world as the object of interest.
It is the effect which is being worshiped and mimicked and not its source.
The abstraction, the noumenon, rather than the world, the phenomenon.
Because the abstraction is intimate, it is malleable, it is mutable.
Nihilistic inversion.
