Research & Creativity List November 2023
My Thoughts
November 2023 is drawing to a close and that means I can reflect on the month that was, and share with the world what took up my time this month. This month, posting my monthly list is serving a dual purpose because I had a house guest staying with me for most of it, and I think that having someone around tended to change my perceptions of time.
Most people are used to other people; seeing them, talking to them, working with them and living with them. But I'm quite introverted and see myself edging deeper into an introspective existence, where maintaining a permanently nonplussed and politely concealed misanthropy as I age is The New Normal.
I've also spent the last 5 or so years living alone, so having someone around my daily existence was a challenge to begin with. Now that I'm alone again, writing is my process to undergo for recalibration.
Because having unexpected visitors after so long alone seemed to decalibrate my inner self.
Is that weird?
Creativity
The most wonderful thing during November was a renewed vigor towards artistic expression. I spent many hours and most of the weekends digging up drawings, paintings and other artworks from my studio archives. I found a new process to engage with and utilize my dormant studio archives which contained artworks spanning a period of over three decades.
Fitting together the above individual works by tacking them onto the wall, after cropping and resizing a lot of them, was sculptural moreso than figurative or gestural. I was creating a kind of chronological and stylistic mosaic using these works and pushing them into each other, forming an artistic, alchemical assemblage.
It was very fun and I intend to complete further such assemblages of archived artworks, this time in public spaces where there is thoroughfare.
I also completed some drawings, continuing to test out my Ironlak Striker markers. These were on sale for Black Friday but unfortunately I've already spent my allotted fun money on enough Art materials to last several years!
As I recalibrate back into a lifestyle of introspective imagination, I want to push what results out into public real-life spaces. As I research and read, I want to draw upon that vast bulk of dystopian, cybernetic and philosophically entropic end of times literature to make a creative demanufacturing of the public/private paradigm. And it will impose itself onto thoroughfares - and it should catalyze those who need a jolt of adrenaline for resurgence into humanhood - and it should terrorize those who need to be deposed.
Research and Read
Despite having company in day to day life, I kept time aside for researching and reading. You'll find a selection of what I've found valuable during my research and reading in November below.
Research the works of Alan Watt
"What's the goal of having the right ability to think for yourself, when you don't?"
"The masses help very clever people attain all their goals."
"To remember something that hasn't existed before is crazy."
"When people become nostalgic for the past, then their reality is on the decline."
"Keep the people in a confused but controllable state."
Research the works of Spartacus
Checking substack to see whether Spartacus has shared new work is a routine for me. Even when spending time online seems like a chore due to its diminishing overall quality, I continue valuing the internet because of its capability to send me one golden soul's worth of truly elucidating, potentially wildcard-weaponry grade published works.
Please check out his latest: a collaborative effort by two other substackers who used Spartacus' narration and edited a video together.

Silly Covid
Absolutely ridiculous headline for WAtoday's November 16th, 2023 front page. Not only is Coldplay a nothing band with no substantial fandom or following that I'm aware of, their image was used for a ghoulish (or absurdly cartoonish) rendition of a Coldplay concert.
This ghoulish digitalized (possibly A.I generated?) image is showing the biggest concert Perth's had since the plandemic merged into the biggest irrational fear Perth's ever had.My buddy keeps a tab on local shenanigans and precursory plandemic press - Tyranny alert for West Australians: End this before it begins - November 18, 2023

Interesting to Note Silly Covid Reporting Ends and When
It's interesting to note when the Silly Covid reporting ended on deepstateblog.org and I wonder if readers can hypothesize as to why the last COVID-19 tagged article was published May 21, 2021.
