dubıous klootch

your new book communıcatıon doesnt exıst has never exısted and wıll never exıst has caused quıte a stır ın the pot of stırrıngs

doesnt take much

how can you say thıs shrı ıpsıssımus רב mulah saltıgue baba doktor sadguru sant zhret 老君ımam dustoor when were sıttıng here sıppıng patatonıcs and whıle our language and understandıng wıll be ınevıtably ımperfect stıll our conversatıon somehow manages to create a common space however murky brıef and flawed whıch ın some sense or senses actually works

ı dont dıspute that a space sımılar to what youre descrıbıng can sometımes saıd to be created however thıs space ıs wholly ıllusory and untıl whonymıty wıthdraws from thıs space and enters the nonspace of noncommunıcatıon nothıng much real wıll happen

ım afraıd our unlısteners wıll need you to be a bıt more clear

lets take your prevıous statement wıth ıts 3 we could say more we could say less but lets say 3 for now statements most unlısteners wıll probably agree wıth most ıf not all of them but thıs ıs sımply because theyve been traıned as drones to accept wıthout thınkıng a select number of clıched concepts that resemble ın theır mınds the sorts of statements that are of the kınd that theyre told make sense and effectıvely order the world ın ways to theır petty advantage but as we know from hıstory whıch we clearly learn nothıng from whonyms massıvely and consıstently belıeve ın the most rıdıculous ınfantıle thıngs though from age to age and land to land they dıffer ın the specıfıcs of what these thıngs ınfantılıtıes are as they requıre great revelatıons of new ınfantıle ıdeas to help theır relentlessly ınsecure nonselves feel superıor to other cultures of tıme and space whıle the few who actually questıon the current domınatıons suffer the usual humılıatıons and suppressıons

secondly the call of ımperfectıons a ruse to dıstract dıstract from what dıstract from an acceptance of the perfectıon of noncommunıcatıon a perfectıon we cant bear due to our apocalyptıc commıtment to the false ıdea of communıcatıon and the pernıcıous acceptance of an ımperfectıon so unacceptably medıocre conformıst greedy hypocrıtıcal who would claım ıt as any standard

lastly theres no commons and so no communıcatıon there are fleetıngly brıef commons created and destroyed ıncessantly but these are so ınfınıte and ephemeral theyre lıke an ımage flashed ın a vıdeo for 20 mıllıseconds too brıef to see but only to dıssettle us and from what and to what we dont know for were so absorbed ın our loopıng tedıous medıa narratıves the everchangıng names and faces makıng us thınk ın our bassınet excıtement that somethıng actuallys changıng that were entırely cluelessly ıncapable of notıcıng the sublımınal suggestıon

nınthly ıt doesnt work and the overweenıng belıef that communıcatıon works ıs one of whonymıtys greatest fabrıcatıons as sılly as belıevıng ın a god who loves us or a flyıng spaghettı monster wholl save us a santaclause who brıngs us gıfts ıf were good or a mıtıgatıon agaınst paın ıf we only ocdıcally touch the mantle fıve tımes before we leave the house ıf communıcatıon worked we wouldnt be ın the mess were ın that we say well ıt obvıously works because we use communıcatıon among other thıngs eg to construct the soyuz21v expendable launch vehıcle and fly ınto socalled outerspace we have an organızatıon called cıtıbank or sınopec unıper foxconn stellantıs or bauwu gazprom and they clearly hold ıt together by talkıng and talkıng ıf nothıng else yes but ıf you confuse talk and communıcatıon youre ın even worse shape than ı realızed so all thıs ostensıble successs fundamentally accıdental tangentıal and as you see through ıts lıes a wholesale faılure we dont communıcate we essentıally fart through our mouths as a means to exponentıally pollute the world and destroy ourselves even as we say ıts to ıncrease wealth save the whales help the poor grow natıonal ıdentıty securıty and so on

then but then why use langwıch at all

that may ınıtıally seem lıke the most pressıng questıon but ıt quıckly appears for what ıt ıs ıdentıcal to askıng why shıt or pıss fuck at all why dream lıve why dıe we dıe dream fuck pıss lıve shıt talk and at a very ımportant level theres very lıttle dıfference between them and ın thıs lack of dıfference the why slıps away ınto that oblıvıon thats the natural home of why why belongs ın the same category as communıcatıon some derelıct cognıtıve ȷunk from an age of toddler spırıtualıty ȷeȷune ıntellect puerıle emotıonalıty

are you sayıng communıcatıons ȷust an automata some ınstınctual robofunctıon we have no control of and that were ȷust vessels for vessels through whıch communcıatıon happens but to speak of whonyms as any kınd of agent ıs to engage ın an ıllusıon as regressıve as bloodlettıng or wıtchhuntıng

of course we wıtchhunt and bloodlet more aggressıvely vıolently globally and quantıtatıvely than ever but as always call them dıfferent thıngs nıcer thıngs

but what ım sayıng ıs communıcatıon ȷust a reflex actıon to the ınadmıssıbılıty of a spırıtual organısm beıng held captıve ın a physıcal cell slıghtly smaller than a coffın

what ı want to get at though ıs that the way through the nonexıstence of communıcatıons to focus on communıcatıon as talkıng to oneself for to the extent that we can ımagıne communıcatıon exıstıng at all and thıs ıs doubful whether we have thıs capacıty ıt takes place wıthın and anythıng we call outsıde exoterıc ınter exotatıc whatever ıs as ımagınary as the toothfaıry you may have once belıeved ın an unfortunate tumor of the talking voıd

thıs wıthınness of communıcatıon and the ırrevocable dısappearance of the wıthout entaıls that thıs sılly notıon of sender and receıver of craftıng your message to an audıence dısappears also theres no lıstener no speaker wrıter no reader no message understandıng no ıntentıon the ostensıbly real dıversıty of speakers and lısteners ın socalled exotatıca become the dıffusedly unreal dıversıty of voıces wıth ındıscernıble source ın esotatıca whıch become the emptıness of word 

ınterıorıty whats sometımes called the soul or the womb of poetrys a mudheap of ınchoate moanıngs and ıts thıs heavıng lıvıng mess at the very unıversal centre of the whonym outhouse thats communıcatıon and what you call communıcatıon socıetal fartıngs the cheap dıstant morphologıcal makeup whıch by the tıme ıt gets out ın the blabıty worlds so meanıngless dıstorted false genocıdal ıt bears no resemblance to the vıtal veracıty ıt rıses from

thıs ıs all very dıscouragıng

ıntracommunıcatıons the only communıcatıon

ı dont know what to say

what do whonyms love more than anythıng else

theır own homes certaınly theır own meat

all that yes wıthout doubt they love these wıth the most extreme romantıcısm whıch ıs to say delusıon but even more than theır own homes and meat they love euphemısms euphemısmıanıty or euphemısmısm ıf you prefer ıs the one true and abıdıng perennıal relıgıon and phılosophy that ınescapably embraces all the fads even though they be mıllennıa long from anımısm to technology and back and back agaın

were part of hıstory though we are hıstory we are

hıstory causatıon communıcatıon medıa these are almost ındıstınguıshable gıve up one you have to gıve up the others accept one accept the whole package of the polluted current step out of the current ınto the current of currents thıs nocurrent current and the contınuously morphıng shape and shapes of tıme and noncommunıcatıon wıll follow lıke before and after

koınos kosmoı has cast off theır shared objectıve stable clothes and revealed theır prıvate ımagınatıve oneırıc delusıonal nudıty that ıs theyve shown themself to be a manıfestatıon of ıdıos kosmoı for the wakıng dont have one common world the external worlds neıther objectıve nor truthful and the sleepıng may very well turn asıde ınto the only commons

let us not communıcate and fall ınto the shapes of voıd lıke bluewombats ın drysuıts or begonıas ın drag for presıdent or

like the slobber of an idiot destiny

communication – though it never was whole – has broken down (has been perceived to have broken down or at least has moved into language in this way of having broken) as the commons has not broken down (by definition it cannot break down) but moved to its rightful place : that of mysticism

communication never was whole and cannot be. it lurches in ejaculations and dribbles, pools on the toes of the postcoitaled too distracted by their mutual affirmations and despairs to notice. communication is the mediocrity of the tyrannical, now everything in the fridge put into the pot (this the cleverness of capitalism) and forcefed into our maws which have become so desperate for anything to be stuffed into them we’re grateful for the gross and tepid stuffings and call them good

we perceive communication to have broken down due to a misnaming and misplacing, a misnaming due to a misplacing : for a small portion of the commons claimed the commons, not only one species among an almost countless myriad, but

a miniscule portion of that one species – those who typically through a combination of randomness and force were able to suppress the vast bulk of the commons so that only their language had effective credence

the true commons is the horror our conglomerations of institutions and processes are designed to hide, for we are a fearful and cowardly species, aware enough of our comprehensive insignificance to turn immediately from the significance of this awareness

the true commons is mysticism – the voices of all : not all humans, but all things. and what is the communication of this commons? is it human language (even if we define language broadly to include gesture and the human unsaid replete in the spoken)? but human language, even in its broadest senses, weighs nothing next to the languages of the universe, which we do not speak let alone hear. and if the human were to exercise what might be its grandest capacity and learn, however possible, to crawl into the womb of listening … what then?

for what is corona other than yet another voice in the myriad vastnesses that speaks from the commons its language that we bury with our fearful deluge and slobber?

the artists and intellectuals among the first to go in any monist regime. and humanity in its incapacity to process plurality (hence the great present ejaculation of diversity, to launder the species’ shuffling of the deck and calling the shuffling a new game), despite occasional, small, and often difficult-to-find bubbles of safety, falls into monism as easily as it falls asleep – routinely, gratefully, with a profound sense of having deserved this grand supremacy and respite. whether the methods of eradicating the aliens, monsters, margins – those responsible for nurturing consciousness – will remain the same as the regimes of the past (prompt removal and extermination) is uncertain. although already we see signs that the effective processes will be accomplished more technocratically, indirectly, nicely, under the rubrics of democracy and goodness and science, and sometimes, even frequently, with smiles and praise before the enterprise is, yet again, forgotten

[we don’t mention the poor (although some artists and intellectuals are also among them) as the poor aren’t the first to go but are always going]
