THE PRESTIGE (2006)

[other_life]

its great all that type stuff, zodiac signs, introverts and extroverts, mesomorphs and the other ones. its all great, all of them make perfect sense. i love types. reich does that too i think?

yes! Character Analysis. talking about healthy and unhealthy traits in ratios together constituting a unity of character, which calcifies and as one grows is harder to unknot. a x axis of 'genital' and 'neurotic' character types, with shades and convolutions in between ofc

 

[luka]

that one makes me uneasy cos it's always this nagging thing about not being properly geneital and therefore a defect, a dud.

 

[luka]

i definitely have a tendency to think in terms of ratios and dials

 

[sus]

Dibs on being a genital type

This is the sort of mixed metaphor Luke shouldve straightened out in you already

 

[luka]

im not sure i am a fully geneital man. barty might be one. im probly more of a botch by reichs reckoning

COSMIC SLOP.
In the Room of Cosmic Plumbing,
Recalibration is in Progress.
The Recirculation of Cosmic Slop/pissing in the amitotic fluid.
‘Ok, just tuning you in now.’ Mild mannered technician turns dial, frequencies replace one another on a CONTINUUM OF INTENSITY.

People in new york LOVE myers Briggs

 

[luka]

just walking cheerfully through life waving your willy at everything

 

[sus]

Dibs on mild mannered technician those guys have it figured out

thats why jungle was so great.

i legitimately wish it was possible for americans to be multicultural in the way londoners are

also the whole genitality thing. i think marcuse + his coterie overcorrected on this score. because now lesbian hookup sites are full of tense asexuals!

never living this down

 

[luka]

whats the point of hooking up as an asexual? can just sit at home, make yourself cosy, have a cup of tea.

I had an acid experience at 6am in a basement laundry room once like this. People were waking up and the hot water heaters for the building were turning on and I was convinced that I was being prepared for the next stage in a hellish samsara cycle.I was never gonna see my pals again. I had messed something up and I was gonna pass through have my mind recalibrated and forget everything

 

[luka]

sometimes i think it would be good to have a more sensual mode of interaction with life, sticking your nose in thing, sucking up the odours. sometimes i think it would be good to be an intellectual and read books and do the dialectic. loads of different ways of being, different ratios and so on.

 

[sus]

Then I kissed my roommate on a whim because I was convinced there were only 2 women in the whole world. Not even types just 2 women goddesses inhabiting all the bodys.

And she said "Gus! You've got a girlfriend!"

for reich these express the same basic conatus - productive thinking is embodied, grounded thinking and effective action is consciously directed, heavenward

 

[sus]

That's right. I chose her.

effective action is consciously directed, heavenward

Doesnt the fool gaze heavenward as he steps off a cliff

Or is this a metaphorical use
