Corporatism is Communism


Corporations are a collective of people treated as a single entity whose operation relies on a strictly enforced division of labor. Your cheif goal is not to become a better businessman but to climb to the top of the gulag. Where your title is the delightfully militaristic Cheif Executive Officer (read commissar).

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

TFS 11 – Warm Water Hypothermia, WWE Politics, and Moar


Disclaimer: not related to the actual WWE, if you’re here for wrestling, and not for a half assed discussion of an old Jim Breuer bit you’re gonna be bored

I begin with a whinge about my first world problems then continue kvetching steadily about everything from hypothermia to the shit show that is today’s videogame industry.

TFS 9 – Capitalism Fetishism, Oldy Time Squirrel Pet Craze, and more on Language


While it’s likely just a rhetorical flourish there seem to be a great number of folks convinced that capitalism is some sort of Panacea. This overly rosy picture is inaccurate since it fails to take into account the vast difference that access to natural resources, geographic security, and technology make in living standards. I then go to list some historical oddities and revisit the concept that language affects how we function and what we become.

TFS 8 – Feng Shui, O and A Origins, and talking Talking Heads


As I swing in right after a major organizational effort I introudce Mr. Money Moustache’s concept of hedonic adaptation somewhat (eh..) accurately. I then go on to discuss the participation trophy trope and how puzzlingly popular it remains among right wing blowhards. I then launch into a wholesale investigation of blowhards (ok I’m giving myself too much credit but I get a good peek into the world of hot air) and blowhardiness in general.

Who the fuck cares what Joe Rogan is reading?

TFS 6 – Canned Experience, Language and Inclination, You are the “Audience”


HD and beyond bring a level of immersion that destroys a barrier we might have been better off keeping. Do world languages shape cultures and the capacities of the people that comprise those cultures. When creating for an audience remember that the audience is really your own conceptions. Don’t worry too much about pleasing your own conceptions. Your audience will thank you.

TFS 5 – No one respects your time, Timing Out, and other Temporal Woes


A mess with wine stained lips (and something in his teeth: it’s suggested you just listen and forego looking at the disaster)   sits too close to the camera and prattles about the following:

Nobody respects your time as an artist – nobody respects your time period – you don’t respect your time

Benefits of making topical YouTube videos (maybe everybody should do it)

Am I too much of a grouch about popular shows like Walking Dead and Game of Thrones

Probably Not – (See: Saw Movies)

Back when I was younger I somewhat considered doing standup way way waaaaaaaaay back in the back of my mind

I’m thirty years old should I start now?

Considering I’m not really funny probably not but still it’s a fun question this age cap thing

My thirty something male friends freaking out about their love lives/futures cause they’ve had a shitty marriage etc…it is to laugh

There’s two types of creators in this instant info world – ones who are reticent due to actual professionalism and ones that do so to cultivate a sense of mystery that keeps audiences guessing

examine: being real vs being cool/put together
