What's on my Walkman (Aug 02019)
What's on my Walkman?And who cares, besides me, anyway?[Aug 02019]J the T the V
Not that anyone but me should really care: still; ya never know. (All of life is doing science. Let's try this experiment and see if anyone cares. I predict they won't - but am happy to be falsified (a la, re: per: my hero#423 Sir Karl Popper) on that)
Here's: my Walkman:
Here's what's on my Walkman:
And, here's why:
Death of Ivan Ilyich - because this is currently one of my fave books/novellas/stories/narrative-style things of all time. Tolstory. What a beast that guy was. The opening chapter has 3 funny as shit things, then it goes downhill all the way till that thing at the end (no spoilers)
Hey this reminds me - Check out, this! (just - re: Vonnegut, on plotting Story emotional-rollercoasters). Gotta love Vonnegut.
"I have tried to bring scientific thinking to literary criticism, and there has been very little gratitude for this... [audience laughs]"(For more on that specific WAR OF IDEAS - see: Consilience vs PoMo and see: Schools of Thought)
Anyway, next up ->
The Descent of Man (1871) - cos I love Charles Darwin's brain. The greatest genius that ever lived (so far), probably. I got such a man-crush / bromance on that guy. (Wish he wasn't so: dead.) I listen to this sorta awesome shit on my daily "constitutional" walks... Well; ...except, when, I don't. (Cos sometimes, I'm listening to Radio National's Big Ideas or something. (I like large ideas. The larger the better. See my: the holon/parton structure of the meme, the unit of culture , for example.)) ...I like nested brackets.
Next?
`Killer Combo' - Hmph. This is just a bunch of random music / songs I like to listen to, sometimes. This list of songs changes now and then - whenever I make myself sick of, those specific songs. I go on a tear and listen the fuck outta some songs, but then I can't stand 'em any more. Always been that way. Go figure. I like keeping myself in the Flow state. (Makes me less unhappy, or: more happy.)
FYI - Here's the songs, currently in it: (that folder, [Walkman ["Killer Combo"]) but this may well change soon to: something else. Depends. (A while back, used to be a lotta Prodigy in there: Medusa's Path and Spitfire, and whatnot. omg, that stuff was so cool when i wasn't: sick of it.)
Music in my Walkman (well; just right now anyway)
That Sting song is - maybe - my fave song of all time. "Bring On the Night/When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around" – (11:41) (But that may well: change)That other stuff is just good and/or happy and/or fun stuff... Songs. Whatever they are. XD
Next:
Kubrick - this is 2 interviews with Kubrick, so we can see how his (genius) brain worked.
e.g. One of them is this one:
Stanley Kubrick Interview (Jeremy Bernstein 1966)
and the other:
3 x Interviews with Kubrick (On: Barry Lyndon, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket), by Michel Ciment.
Sometime, soonish... (before the end of 02019 - noting, the Long Now), I will transcribe those 3 interviews too, like I did with the Bernstein 1966 one. - It helps us all to research creativity (i.e. problem solving). ...Because: that's how you save a world. :) (...see Heroism Science! )(I note, then you have to give General Problem Solving Algorithms to a supercomputer - and it saves the world - as humans aren't capable of it on their own; the world is too complex and fast for that now.)
Anyway next:
Louis CK - a few Louis standup comedy shows; e.g. that bootlegged 2019 Governor's one (genius! so funny); The Palace 2010; & Jerusalem 2016.
Nexts:
2 x copies of On the Origin of Species Audiobooks from Librivox. I dunno, just obsessed with Darwin...? Go figure. (Mainly as I'm trying to do with Culture what he did with Biology. [And, seems it's working... Slowly.] They may even `label' me a `5-C genius' when I'm dead. Or, not, what do I care, I'll be DEAD. LOL. And: all my problems will be over. LOL. Meantime I gotta get this stuff done and save the world. ...Or, not? Is it worth saving? Convince me, in the Comments. LOL XD
See: my article on: Kubrick and Darwin and Joe Campbell and Me, in the Journal of Genius and Eminence (2018) .
Next:
Pain Free - this is a guided hypnosis thingy (45 mins?) by Rick Collingstone or something, that I've been listening to, since 2010, or whatever. (Have had a back back for that long... In fact - for about 32 years now, but who's counting? My point is, Intense Daily Physical Pain can be a very good motivator to get into Flow, and thus get lots of work done, as: you escape the physical reality / consciousness, as it usually: sucks, balls.) [See this is another reason I can't wait to get dead, LOL... omg it's gonna be so good to stop existing and be conscious of: bad things.]
Nest: (yes I know that's not how you spell `Next'; but - happy accidents can be deep, meaningful and profound, useful solutions to creative problems/goals)
See Kubrick on Joyce on it. :)
Phillip K Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (abridged/condensed audiobook of the novel, read by Matthew Modine & Callista Flockhart - hey, remember her?)I read this novel in Year 8 or whatever and loved it. (Why didn't Ridley etc put Mercerism and the `Mood Organ' in the 1982 Blade Runner movie?? It's/they're: the 2 best sci fi ideas in the book!!!)omfg.Genius!Oh well. Anyway I heart P K Dick's stuff.
Nezt?
Relax - this is 5 copies of that most relaxing/anxiety-reducing song, ever: Macaroni Onion's: You are too fat (I hate anxiety, and had a traumatic childhood [when: it wasn't amazing and fun and adventurous, which it was - a LOT, but - it was also (in parts): uber-traumatic, but - that's probably why I'm so creative, see Csikszentmihalyi on it: shitty childhoods give you a powerful imagination, to escape into, for: life! YAY! i.e. My imagination is a billion times better than "reality", seriously. It's safe and fun and rich and interesting and exciting in there... So-called `Real Life' is: a labyrinth of clusterfuckery.] so anyway I prolly have lifelong PTSD, and if you don't, you're not paying attention t how fucked up everything is, LOL. e.g. Trump is President. WTF. i.e. - Are you f*cking kidding me? Stop the world - this one is way too stoopid, funny and absurd for words. ...Beam me up Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here... LOL XD) Juuuust kidding. Or - am I? [Ambiguity makes for timeless art. trust me on this... Or go read Martindale (1990), Clockwork Muse. Or not. What do I care. Fuck you, anyway, probably... As: 99% of everything is lousy/evolution crushes it, like a bug. (So, statistically, this means: you. And me too]) - hey dig the nested brackets there
Nect:
RN Big Ideas - So, in here, is:
- AC Grayling on The History of Philosophy (on: Late Nite Live)- Brian Boyd on: On the Origin of Stories (2009) (on: The Book Show)- Mental Health Politics (I just dig Alistair Campbell's take on a lotta stuff, eg: Brexit and Trump!)- Moonkind (I just dig her voice. Also: moon stuff. Also: Science!)- Yuval Noah Harari on Homo Deus on Big Ideas
I re-listen to all this stuff, quite a lot - as I notice different things, each time. (Jam-Packed with hypercompressed Info!)
Next:
The Third Policeman - audiobook, read by Jim Norton.My fave novel, ever. ...THE END.Have listened to it, hundreds of times. Maybe even: thousands-?(Spoiler Alert - STOP! Don't know anything more about it, just: buy, download and listen. Then: read the book. Genie-ass: Funny. Dark. Smart. L o v e it.)
Vipassana - a 15-min guided meditation.I get tons of great ideas listening to this. Yes I know I'm sposed to think of: nothing. It rarely if ever works for me. I always "have" (hear? find? get?) a treasure-trove of (GREAT) ideas whenever I listen to this (twice a day, usually). Allows your subconscious to start yelling out ideas at you.(PS - I have cut the `first 5 mins' Intro out. As: Who needs it? Not I.)
Finally: (phew, finally!)
WM Music - actually - have never listened to this; the Walkman came with it loaded on. Wondr what's in there. Oh well we may never know. You've gotta use your time wisely. Just because someone thinks I should absorb some info, doesn't mean they are right. (Fuck 'em!)(Ads don't work on me, either. Weird? Then again - been studying ads, since I was about 13? I know all their `tricks'. See em coming a mile off, LOL XD
Okay so that's what's on there / what I'm listening to right now.(Maybe not right now, as you read this, but: I mean, in general terms, in Aug 02019. Hey watch out for that Long Now, it's gonna gitcha!) XD
Sadly, or happily, or neither, or both...The End of this post.
Hey - James Joyce, would be jealous!!!!! haha - funny - LOL - XD
i.e.:
Note: eyepatch. Said it helped him see better. (Ironic.)
Writing Tip: Always look for the irony.i.e., NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS...eg Clowns are actually sad-fucks, etc
I love youse all...
Except those I don't
(Haters gonna heart, etc)
...Yes I know I said `heart' there.
It was intentional.
Like pretty much everything I ever do.
...Unless we don't have free will, but that's a long discussion for another time.
...Be good!!!
Sinceriously!
