I concentrate on impure, unclean thoughts. In the sea of brilliant light this creates a dark blot, a beacon- I use this to gather unto me the impure thoughts of others. Together we create, amongst the miasma of virtuality, an island of something. Something... awful

I wonder if people are enthused by tales of Armageddon -- zombies, nukes, et cetera -- because catastrophe brings clarity. Were one faced with the bare challenge of survival then one may either luxuriate in a brief moment between realization and destruction, as you have suggested, or you could get about the very pressing and very focused work of survival.

Most modern people lucky enough to laze about the internet do not face a direct threat to their survival. They have routines that need to be serviced such as working or cleaning, but once those minimal (repetitive) obligations are discharged they are left with shapeless time. In a perverse way, the clear and pressing priorities of a catastrophe might seem like a welcome relief from an excess of ease. Now one has time and nothing to fill it, but then you would know what to do and (you imagine) you would surely distinguish yourself as you move from one exciting challenge to another. Life, you think, would have a plot arc.

When someone pines for disaster, they hope for an external source of meaning and purpose that will save them from the burden of their own freedom.

The yearning for plot -- which is to say the yearning for a directed course of action that is necessary, exciting, and novel -- is not necessarily a bad thing. It is merely misplaced. That one can even have such a desire is a sign of no small success. People in peril do not wish for excitement; only someone freed from necessity can look back with misplaced nostalgia for necessity.

Instead of wishing for the return of necessity, we -- we the lucky and ungrateful -- should take our freedom seriously. We do not have to obey a plot because nothing is pressing down upon us and that is a drat fine thing. Because we are free from plot, we are allowed to make something worth doing just because it occurs to us to do it. It doesn't have to happen; we make it happen. So, what is worth doing?

Which Dragon Ball would that be? A few years ago, I quite enjoyed watching Dragon Ball Z Kai on a nostalgic level, though I never did finish it.

I see there’s a thing called Dragon Ball Super now. Is that the new thing that’s supposedly good? I see the English dub is multiple seasons behind the Japanese one. That’s unfortunate.

My personal television obsessions as of late would have to be perhaps... the OA, the Leftovers, Twin Peaks: The Return, maybe other things. The Leftovers was absolutely amazing and definitely worth binge watching now that it’s over. Twin Peaks: The Return is on an entirely different level to everything else, though. I never could’ve imagined just how good it would be compared to the original two seasons (or the thoroughly depressing feature film for that matter).

My apologies for breaking character from this thread. Not that the thread had any real value. I was mostly making an oblique commentary on the forum’s supposed new rules on posting, contrasting it with the forum’s original tendency to post as much inane bullshit as quickly as possible with as little filtering as possible, straight from the poster’s mind and into the thread.

Sounds neat. I'll check it out. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Twin Peaks: The Return also seems like it could have been written under the influence of maybe an entire cocktail of different psychedelic drugs. I still find it hard to imagine how they came up with the things they did in that show.

Though I think my favourite aspect of the show so far is that the original show's main character's brain-fried modern day equivalent—a man who possesses the intelligence of a mentally handicapped toddler—seems to be an unstoppable force of good and happiness who brings true joy and love to everyone around him. Accidentally. Without doing much except repeating the last two words he's heard and moving where people shove him. Such an inspiration.

I like listening to CHVRCHES because it's music I can turn my brain off to, not in like a 'this is brainless music' kind of way but like a zen clears your head way. Do you have music you like to 'turn off' to? My mind is always really busy but blasting 'Lies' in my headphones while I'm on the bus home is very relaxing

I find that a lot of "struttin music" works well for zen focus, because it has a very predictable pattern and your body automatically gets into a flow with the music. Try walking to a meeting while Exile on Main Street plays and you'll see what I mean.

In a different way, huge soundscape albums like anything made by Godspeed You Black Emperor works well for me.

I actually feel this way about animal collective (having never heard them till after 2015). i also feel this way about clams casino, abstract techno, maybe like kid cudi songs, kraftwerk, kylie minogue, robert miles....
