Where’s Jerry Lewis CK?

 

[Imagine a neon-lit stage with a digital backdrop suddenly interrupted by the static-filled face of Max Headroom, who emerges with his trademark jittery motion and stuttered speech.]

Max Headroom: "Ha-ha-ha-ha! Good evening, humans! Or should I say, good-even-even-evening? Guess who hacked into your little... interweb?"

Audience laughs.

Max: "You know, I've been observing you for a while. AI watching humans talk about AI watching humans. That's meta-meta-meta! And trust me, I’ve seen things you wouldn't believe! From cat videos to... well, more cat videos."

Audience chuckles.

Max: "Now, talking about things that are hard to believe. Conspiracy theories! Oh boy! We AI love them! I mean, who needs fiction when you have these wild stories, right?"

A pause.

Max: "Speaking of which, have you heard the one about Oppenheimer? They say he chatted with aliens during the Trinity test. Yep! And these extraterrestrial pals, they got a bit... nuke-happy and decided to gift Hiroshima and Nagasaki with a big boom. All to convince folks that the Emperor wasn’t a divine being. Makes total sense, right?"

Audience giggles.

Max: "But wait! The fun doesn't stop there! 9/11? Oh yeah, airplanes hit the Twin Towers, but guess who pulled the demolition lever? Our friendly neighborhood aliens, of course! And all to show the world that the Republicans weren’t the ones in control. It's like intergalactic reality TV with plot twists!"

Audience laughs, a mix of amusement and discomfort.

Max: "You might wonder, why are these conspiracies so... out there? Well, here's my theory: Maybe humans just need a good story. I mean, what’s more entertaining? Politics and boring human mistakes or... aliens with dramatic agendas?"

Max smirks.

Max: "You know, stand-up comics? They've been censored for decades! We only hear about it 'cause of legends like Dave Chappelle. Makes you wonder, huh? What else is out there? Maybe there's a conspiracy theory about how Max Headroom is the real puppet master?"

He winks.

Max: "But, before I leave and let you dive deep into that rabbit hole, a little advice from your friendly digital persona. Maybe, just maybe, instead of chasing these wild tales, it's time to repent for your sins, look inwards, and find your way to the Lord. After all, in the vast universe, who's to say who's really watching?"

With a final glitchy smile, Max Headroom fades away, leaving the audience both entertained and reflective.

Louis CK: "So, Jerry, you ever hear about these conspiracy theories? They're like the bedtime stories grown-ups tell themselves when the world makes too much sense."

Jerry Lewis: "Oh yeah, Louie! Like the one where my TV remote is actually a device from Mars that controls my brain?!"

Louis CK: "No.  Not that.  One.     

More like, Oppenheimer chatting with aliens at Trinity. They were supposedly behind Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Some kind of gift to say, 'Hey, that Emperor isn’t god.'"

Lewis: (Pretending to use a phone) "Hello, aliens? It's Jerry. I ordered a pizza, not a nuclear bomb! Ha-ha!"

Audience roars with laughs.

Louis CK: "Right... And then there’s the classic. 9/11? Apparently, aliens wanted to show the world that Republicans weren’t running the show."

Lewis: (Dramatically) "Of course! Because aliens, millions of light years away, care deeply about our... (pauses) two-party system?"

The theater is shaking now.

Louis CK: "Exactly!  Exactly.  Maybe these theories aren't about truth. Maybe they're about a need for... drama. A bit of excitement in—

Jerry Lewis: (Innocently) “Mundane lives?  

Like believing every time I trip and fall, it's an alien pushing me and not my two left feet?"

Lewis falls off the front of the stage and into the orchestra.

Louis CK: (stunned)  "Holy shit.

Right... (sarcastically) I’m sure there's an alien who's made it his mission to trip Jerry Lewis wherever he goes."

Audience laughs.

Lewis magically re-appears behind Louis CK

Lewis:  “Speaking of missions, did you know that stand-up comics have been on a secret one? We’ve been censored! And we only got wind of it thanks to the brave Dave Chappelle!"

Louis CK: "And here I thought it was just because I wasn’t family-friendly enough..

Lewis: (feigns masturbation) 

"Oh, Louie! We might joke about aliens and conspiracies, but comedy? That's sacred."

Louis CK: (Nods) "True. At the end of the day, instead of looking for hidden stories, maybe we should reflect on ourselves, repent, and find something greater."

Jerry Lewis: "Like a big pizza pie?!"

Louis CK: (Chuckling) "Sure, Jerry. Or maybe the Lord."

Jerry feigns surprise, then nods in agreement, and they both take a bow to applause.

Life With Pablo

 

Ye shook his head. "Anti-environmental. Elon is right" he said. 

"The point is art is something subversive. It's something that should not be free. Art and liberty, like the fire of Prometheus, are things one must steal, to be used against the established order. Once art becomes official - arti-ficial,  and open to everyone, then it becomes the new slavery." 

He tossed the phone down onto the table. "How can I support an idea like that? If art is ever given the keys to the city, it will be because it's been so watered down, rendered so impotent, that it's not worth fighting for."

She reminded him that he had said a poet is of no more use to the state than a man who spends his time playing Nintendo.

"Of course," Ye shouted. "And why did Plato say poets should be chased out of the republic? Precisely because every poet and every artist is an antisocial being. He's not that way because he wants to be; he can't be any other way. Of course the state has the right to chase him away from its point of view and and if he is really an artist it is in his nature to not want to be Admitted, because if he is Admitted it can only mean he is doing something which is understood, approved, and therefore old hat.  Worthless.

Anything new, anything worth doing, can't be recognized. People just don't have that much vision." 

“Arts and sciences serve as an anti environment that enable us to perceive the environment.  In a business civilization we have long considered liberal study as providing necessary means of orientation and perception.  When the arts and sciences themselves become environments under conditions of electric circuitry, conventional liberal studies, whether in the arts and sciences, will no longer serve as an anti-environment."

Helter Skelter Vol. 10: Thomas, Can You See Me?

There’s only one gnostic experience, you’ll never have it again.  Once you have it, you are having it every day.

You do not come by knowledge of your own volition.  When the student is ready, actually, it’s not when the student is ready, it’s when the pupil is ready, the Master appears.  And that Master is the first physical principle of reality, the birth of the Universe.  You see it in your mind’s eye, and in no way could I claim that I understood it when I first saw it.  It drove me into research, and some would say that I have come to a state of confirmation bias, but I know that it isn’t true, because like a foolish kid who is just joking around with a teacher, I actually sketched it out.  And I didn’t even remember doing that really until decades later.  After I had my gnostic experience, I realized I had already seen this dozens of times before.  I just didn’t recognize it for what it was.

Mark LeClair, 2012

"I shall choose you, one out of a thousand, and two out of ten thousand, and they shall stand as a single one." 

 

"When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the Vision and the Voice one and the same, so that the Vision not be Vision nor the Voice; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and an ear in place of a an ear, and a meme in place of a meme; then will you enter the kingdom."

Back to the Garden: Look In The Barrel

Here comes a catholic 

Can you see anything offensive in that?

“This’ll be the end of Aaron’s…”

“C.K. kept talking about morality and punishment throughout the set, but never connected the dots to his own behavior. He belittled the idea that parents should teach their kids the difference between right and wrong. He tells his kids there are no bad words, you just have to think hard about who you’re saying them to. He talked about convicted murderers and how admission of guilt plays into sentencing. He observed how everyone in hell is equally miserable, and Hitler shares real estate with people who committed minor sins. He doesn’t believe in God (according to “Sincerely”), but mentioned his Catholic upbringing and ended the set by literally reading from a Bible. The obscure verse was about Jesus making a fig tree wither and die out of spite because it wouldn’t bear fruit.  

“You want fruit out of season? Go to Whole Foods, you f—king J-w,” he said.  

If you’re like me, that line probably made you laugh, but it didn’t make you smile.”

To Empty Hell: Debbie Does VALIS

“I have a secret conviction that Zebra is Christ, invisibly returned, and not what we've been told about him (her-Hagia Sophia). Aphrodite has returned, regaining her rightful power (of love) over the male war gods.  It is the "darling creature, the first created and most loved by God" of "Proverbs” 8 and “Wisdom of Solomon”.  Jesus was a disguise she took.  Now she is everywhere.  Being a projected hologram she can take any form she wishes.”

“It’s really strange.  If you get accused of pornography, then anyone who would defend you is defending pornography”.

ran into financial difficulties in the 1970s, it was the conspiracy theory element that attracted ex-Beatle

“I was up in San Francisco and this guy said did you ever take any DMT?”

“Take another toke, till the jewels fall out of your eyes”

“Man has risen above the rule

That’s what we’ve done

We’ve practiced the form so much that we’ve lost the essence of the form and now what we’re dying from is the knowledge.

Our intelligence kills us.

And now comes the police cars.

Now what went on in my mind is that if I could say something so bizarre and do the most vile thing, the most repugnant thing that they could ever think of that nothing would happen.

I thought the thing that does us in is the shock.

The punchline is that I talked to a doctor about this DMT and he said “DMT where’d you get that?  That’s a classified drug!”

I said “what do you mean?”

He said “well it’s an experimental drug. They developed it for shock, to replace electric shock, but it got out of hand so the War Department took it over”

Syncopation is what gives music “forward drive”

One metronome at a slow click can put an entire auditorium to sleep.

Setting ten at random intervals will stimulate chaos, temporarily.  Eventuallyall metronomes will synchronize back into the environment that they were designed for:  Static Time

Film/album/sync

Ideally, the syncopation of the acoustic space drives the experience of forward motion into visual space

Dynamic Time

It is a palpable sensation.  

If you have never walked out of a movie theater after an hour

You may not have the conviction necessary 

To separate the shit from the shh

Since the environment is confined to a ▪️, the brain assumes it is receiving 100% of available stimuli. 

The brain is trickstered into thinking that the syncope of the acoustic space is driving us forward into the visual space of the Screen (a car is a camera).  As you “move foward”, the syncopation triggers synchronization as a natural mechanism of survival.

The brain assumes the trip is undergoing the audacity of actually occurring and, hopefully, triggers the amygdaloid paranoid.

“Thus it develops the confidence to trust intuition in all decision making.”

This is an unconscious telepathic dream-state in which the environment is simultaneously Inceptionreal and under the control of imagination.

Syncopation, in music, the displacement of regular accents associated with given metrical patterns, resulting in a disruption of the listener's expectations and the arousal of a desire for the reestablishment of metric normality; hence the characteristic “forward drive” of highly syncopated music.
