This is one of the many major problems with a personalist fascist regime. You can't effectively determine when there is a significant risk of a material limitation on a representation b/c nothing and everything is significant based on the whim of the leader. Untenable!

I love how Mayfield asks "are you ready?" in a party/R&B context in "The Monkey Time," then turns that around to be theological & portentous in "PGR." Also "automatically you're on your way" in "Monkey" vs the inevitable faith journey of "PGR." He was such a great writer.

Graham Greene wrote while he was all kinds of messed up (like when he took up speed and wrote both The Power and the Glory and The Confidential Agent at the same time). But he regarded it as more important that he wrote at least 500 words per day, longhand, on foolscap.

TikTok aesthetics (rough editing, glancing offscreen, slightly out of breath) that are meant to signify authenticity and sincerity, all in the service of a completely garbled and incoherent message. Why even do it?

Like a lot of Mould's songs, though, it's furious but he steers clear of what he considers radicalism. "You can see how the lies divide us" is yearning for community even with adversaries, not revolution. See also "Real World."

One time I was railing against Rand and said "if you want a real novel you read Graham Greene". Then realized I was being a hypocrite bc I hadn't read any Greene since HS. Wound up reading all the GG I could get my hands on (a lot) and substantially enriching my mind. Thanks for yr crap writing Ayn!
