With his equity rant last episode and now this ramble about how hard television is fucking up, I'm pretty sure Purpleeyes has achieved transcendence.

EDIT: NEVERMIND HE'S GOT DEBILITATING BRAIN DAMAGE:

To be safe I’ll keep up the blog posts to keep the matrix happy. If I don’t feed it. Miscommunication might go wild.

Here’s a quarter-baked attempt at writing about comedy:
Ho boy. It’s good stuff. It’s dope. I’ve seen it reset, reconfigure and re/discover concepts; just trying to help people figure out the whole. The overwhelming majority of people know when they entered into that domain and participate in a way like no other. It helps figure out the prisms we’re in. Not to mention the edges of this prison-maze of the algorithms and decision making were operating under. Here’s a half-baked attempt at where politics should go: In the worst attempt ever on the internet here’s a description of politics: tribes battle it out for narrative control in an attempt to describe the Real and what to do with it/how to proceed. For roughly ten years part of Code MENT’s design has been to remove as much of the politics from Code Geass as possible while still being its sister parody/satire. Comedy should inform the political, not the other way around. It’s an arena that let’s you roll the necessary dice in the safest environment possible (my lads and lasses helped me learn that, and for that I’m grateful and humbled by them smart bois). What’s awesome is even if the comedian fails in some regard people can learn something about themselves, the world, or the author (that’s the order I use… it seems to work) if done in earnest. If comedians are afraid to try or being encouraged not to, something is wrong.

P.S. For the record I appreciate the team that adopts the most responsibility, with the deepest meaning able to be mustered.

Something on Gisney (I’m convinced that that is a dyslexic G) and the internet:
Recently there’s been a string of stories that haven’t landed with most humans (investigations on how the robots feel are on-going). Gisney has told some of these. It seems as though Gisney was a prominent figure when committing to a comedy of errors. This may be ancient history at this point but hey, it’s not a loss if there’s something for us to learn: it looks like one of those missing of the marks was when E.W.Scripps, a subsidiary of Gisney, bought out the aptly named Cracked.com. At the time Cracked was becoming an extremely popular comedy site. They would create “What if” stories and spin takes on media like Back to the Future. It was fun to rearrange and discuss stories to see if more could be gained from them. Judging from the aftermath it appears Gisney believed it was unable to bring the comedians from Cracked into the fold. It’s most likely that that buyout (and subsequent firing) soured/depressed them, and while I can’t say I condone what followed I can say I understand it. If I had to guess, resentment appeared to have manifested in a few thoughts of the members of the site and thus lead them to pick up some tiny pieces of what I call Marxian Social Philosophy (MSP for short) although this info is old so who knows if any of it is still even applicable anymore. I remember listening to their Behind-the-Scenes podcast, specifically the one titled “America’s Secret Caste System,” it sounded like it was a first foray into an academic study of MSP. I also remember reading an article on their webpage about how the Disney Princesses all needed a big strong prince-man-guy to save them. This was presented as a bad thing and no mention of a deeper cooperation between characters was explored… it was a listicle site after all, but too much reduction and/or distortion makes things wonky (scientific term). This concept would eventually be echoed in Wreck-it-Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet (these names though). Now while I could write off Gisney entirely I’m inclined toward a more amicable way forward. My cousin works there (he’s smart though so I’m not even sure if any of this matters to him one way or the other) but if his family’s situation is currently integrated there then maybe I should try to offer (at least something approximating) some insight. Don’t y’all worry though he’s a tech guy (think algorithms/machine learning for Gisney+ and all the fun software stuff – he could do much more but he needs it wrestled out of him) so no involvement with the storytelling side. He’s helped the Code of Meeting Entertainment Needs Today/Tomorrow take shape before being at Gisney so now the metaphysics of this series are scary and bewildering and probably too much to handle alone. Now all that was to say: 1.) MSP needs to be carefully removed from major decision-making processes especially concerning: algorithms, marketing regulations, and government agencies that protect Presidents; 2.) Advertising and commercialized data have too much control over narrative successes; 3.) At some point I should attempt to navigate this labyrinth that is the internet to beg the Every Frame A Pause guys for a chat. Thems brainy bois..

I like how during the tv rant, Lolouch’s voice just slowly became PurpleEyesWTF’s regular voice the madder he got.
 
Wait, AI was being used for a joke and that makes him a right-winger? What?

Something to do with his video descriptions and that one rant about American Horror Story 2, I dunno. Trying to understand the mindset of people like that give me a headache.
