As a victim of csa, I’ve always been the most drawn to the most disturbed characters in any story. Samantha’s story from COD zombies, for example resonates with me heavily. I never really knew why though, since I experienced amnesia from the event. It’s only as I’ve come into adulthood that I can finally process it, and my god, all of these characters and stories I felt guilty for relating to for years makes so much sense now. I feel comforted for the first time because I finally feel like I’m allowed to appreciate life and art the way I do. For me, there’s no separating the two.

thats something that I personally find fascinating. That we made up all these unspoken rules on how to act, and depending on where you're from those rules are different. I love that about people, that theres so much range for expression. And if you're well versed in different cultures you can almost tell where someone is from by their mannerisms. I love seeing how the outside world affects your personality and form of expression. I think for me, since I don't have autism (but i do have adhd), it's easier for me to find this interesting rather than frustrating since I never struggled with understanding these rules. I feel like it's good to question these things tho. Some of our rules in society can be suffocating to people who don't understand the rules or to people who don't naturally feel inclined to follow those rules (like you for example). I wish people were more open minded to things that are unfamiliar to them, but people like to be comfortable.

It boggles me how many "radical" people I know myself included are still bound by imaginary pretenses about how the world is and should be. Although I appreciate the other comment's perspective immensely it frustrates me too. I think many people struggle to have that same degree of appreciation for other cultures enough to step away from their own to look at the big picture. To recognize the self in other without bastardizing what makes it unique.

That's why I have so loved horror films all my life. They are all about confronting our deepest terrors, pulling back the curtains of society, and whether the ending is hopeless and bleak or cathartic, they both impact me greatly. My most spiritual experiences have sometimes been in a theater watching a war movie or horror movie by myself.

The crazy thing about Andy Kaufman is that I totally understand and love his whole bit and he still terrifies me

Pulling back the curtain of artistic narratives always seems to lead back to philosophy. That's why I love your channel.

this was a beautiful expression of something that a lot of us (myself included), feel deep within ourselves. thank you for making this, i needed this.

Yesterday I got invited to holiday dinner with friends of my mother, they didn’t invite only me but also another family who I didn’t know, two elderly parents and their two children, both children older than I. One a pretty anxious autistic person living in a hostel, and another a high-tech worker who energetically talked about how her crew is short-staffed but wouldn’t elaborate on what her work was. Her boyfriend, a mobile game developer on a break, asked me what I do, I said philosophy but that for money I might have to learn some programming or teach, he said that there might be some money in lecturing for big companies, in telling them that it’s morally good that they keep making money. I’m still stunned by that blunt reasonable assessment of how I can live off of my chosen field. I’m a big fan of Hegel, a philosopher chided for being a spineless state-philosopher who gave up authentic state philosophy to kiss the ass of the Prussian king. I can say the same of the loudest person raising that critique, but ad hominem doesn’t resolve the accusation. Can serious dedicated thought live off its fruits? Or does it have to serve? Could Hegel have said “though current times are a huge change from not too long ago, change isn’t over” without also saying “the system we have right now is the best system we have (right now)”? Could he have been less subtle in his praise of napoleon also being a comparison to many other insanely achieving conquerors and also insanely short lived ones? Can criticism be loud and be heard or must it have its sharp edges cut off so that it might be allowed to spread? Can we talk about anything but the most thin surface aspects of our livelihoods when we meet strangers? Can we bear talking of our anxieties like the autistic person couldn’t bear not to? Can consideration of change be heard or only be forgotten penniless and without reaching beyond its considerers? Can I ask anyone anything beyond “what do you do?”

Even though the performance of our lives is something I grew to dread throughout my teenage years, I am still to this day learning the intricacies of adhering to the script in spite of rejecting it. I understand the contradiction in that statement and I wish I am able to go about my life differently, but unfortunately it seems like we all signed a contract before we were born. A contract in which we memorize a scrip to get that electric blanket in return. I think what led me to live in "misery" for most of my life was the rejection to that contract. the comfort of a community, normalcy or anything agreed upon by the institution and the masses ; as I considered and still consider it as something I did not have a say in but forced to comply into. But Am I willing to be alone "fighting" the facades and comforts just to be who I truly am, until I kick the bucket ? Am I willing to burn the electric blanket just to freeze and be free? Am I willing to take a stance against constructs and symbols just to be Human (in its most literal meaning) ? No. I tried and here I am back to square one. I write in a conventional structure. I speak in words you can clearly understand. i draw character that would sell well as merch. and I suppose we are all doing the same. since those who don't just fade into obscurity and people get bored watching them. your video is captivating and has a firm structure, I suppose that is imperative when introducing the concept of challenging reality and the structure it is based on. Thank u for reading. and yes, I have autism. Special thanks to Structural linguistics for sponsoring this comment.

There is comfort in finding someone else uncomfotable

I do enjoy that this video essay itself is avant-garde.

I've watched all of your videos over the last few months as you've released them and, I'm not sure how to explain this, but the subject of this one is where I'm at currently in my life and artistic journey. I'm realizing that I'm constantly trying to place meaning on everything, decipher some grand puzzle. My mind interprets the universe as having some sort of plan and I'm just here to figure out what it is and bring that awareness to myself and everyone around me through art. But then... when I go deeper, I become both uncomfortable and comforted at the fact that none of this will ever make sense because there is no puzzle to solve. It just is. Figuring out what to do with THAT seems to be the real puzzle. And there isn't a collective answer for it. Only individual ones. Thank you for this wonderful video. I love your work so much. Please keep doing what you enjoy. Your work speaks to me and so many others. 🙏💖

second time seeing a video of yours since the living for art vid, and i immediately recognized who i was watching again (that first video meant so much to me). hard to pick a favorite between them, now i gotta binge your whole collection. love your stuff :)

What’s your idea of normal, and what’s your idea of creepy? I think for a lot of us, our tolerance for strange behavior and strange fiction is not as high as we’d like. We can tolerate an avant-garde film if the characters are thin and white. We can tolerate strange social behavior if the people who’re acting in strange ways look pleasant or fit in certain, acceptable boxes. But that tolerance goes away once we’re forced to confront people in shapes and sizes that aren’t normative. We have these unchecked biases at the back of our minds, influencing us to judge people before we even get to know them. We want quirky girls but as long as they’re Aubrey Plaza, y’know…cuz she’s hot. We want shy dudes but as long as they look like Timothy Chalamet. Hell, even the avant-garde films shown in this video are not that crazy. You know what I want to see? A teen movie that doesn’t revolve itself around gratuitous sex. A teen movie about loners, shy kids, autistic children, etc. Whatever. It sucks not to be able to see myself in fiction. In America, I’m bombarded with aspirational images of whiteness and wealth and decadence. I want to see something that taps into the envy that a lot of real weirdos and loners have. Are you someone that feels envy? Do you feel guilt for feeling angry or envious of those who’re more successful than you psychologically, romantically, socially? I want to see movies that don’t condemn the emotions of resentment and rage. These seem like dirty words these days. I don’t know what I’m talking about. I’m just a big ball of envy and anger. I hate capitalism and the government. I want community, but I don’t want to be insulted or belittled by people. We have the power to do that, to hurt one another. Do I want sex because I was told to feel this way by media or because I genuinely feel this desire, cuz allonormativity is a bitch? I don’t know your race. I’m a man of color, that’s all I want to say. Do you feel a little angry at the people in these films? Do you wish there were more films that centered you? Do you wish that in media, your shyness wasn’t the punchline in every film or you weren’t so stigmatized or mocked? Do you ever question what the meaning of “social skills” even is and how the definition has roots in ableism? I know you or whoever’s reading this might say to yourself “touch grass”, but I guess I just want my anger to be validated. I just want to allowed to be weird, that’s all.

@Skedazzle

2 ай бұрын

I think anger, envy and resentment are pretty validated in mainstream culture but only when performed by acceptable people. Those emotions are used by sublimating them into violence that is acceptable to the state. This is what the term "reactionary" means. Strange fiction and avant garde culture serves as the agitator/antagonist for the reactionary, hence the "culture wars". You could argue that when the avant garde is absorbed by capitalism and used to sell itself to a new generation this creates a tension between the political function of art to reinforce the status quo and the capitalist function of art to sell ideology and product, and that this tension and contradiction is what fuels the reactionary that is called to defend the political status quo, usually by aiming them at another subset of the oppressed I'm less concerned with validating than blowing up the idea of valid or not valid - valid according to who? Who is served by needing validation or representation? Isn't it possible to do reparative readings of media where we see ourselves in every depiction? How does image and media serve by its very structure the hierarchies that perpetuate inequality regardless of who is depicted? What would a liberating version look like? Weirdly enough fanfiction and fan art are probably the closest thing we have to this

i love your videos

great vid

Yes the first part happened to me

IN THE SAME MONTH!?

Never really got Kaufman... but then again it took me a while to get Norm MacDonald too. Or Jerma985. In Norm's case it's the fact that he doesn't care if you laugh, he's making jokes for himself. For Jerma it's that he's funny because he commits to the worst bits and always engages with the worst comments even while he says he shouldn't. Maybe with Kaufman he just liked wasting everyone's time with random tripe. When I think of that, I actually do find him kind of funny. Like all of these people paid money or went out of their way to see this guy perform and he's probably thinking "why do you want to watch me do the world's worst impression" and laughing to himself.

You can't keep saying you're going through it and then be like "oh we don't need to get into it." I'm a worrier. Okay??? And I'm a dad. Are you eating right? Did you eat today? You're giving me anxiety. 😂
