for a 5econd i wa5 5o caught up in the chance to share the relevant hi55torical context that i furgot nopawdy care5

ok

whether your body can proce55 the amount of p5i it produce5 i5 le55 about 5kill and more about luck of the genetric draw

a gamble which i5 getting wor5e and wor5e to take which i5 why it5 important to look at our hi55tory and recognize it ha5nt always been thi5 way and there are thing5 we can do to purrevent ma55 burnout

like ea5ing up on goldblood 5ubgrub culling5! the intention of tho5e policie5 may have been to make our population5 5tronger but the effect ha5 been that fewer and fewer adole5cent p5ionic5 even make it to exile and the one5 that do are ten time5 more likely to cau5e 5ignificant damage to their a55ignment5

it's a little funny that i'll never have to worry about overcharge pretty fucking cringe way to die tfw they put you in training to make you a better battery and it fucking kills you

the rate of 5pontaneou5 combu5tion among goldblood p5ionic5 has ri5en dra5tically over the la5t centur5weep5 according to burried and di5continued per5onal record5(1)(2)(3)

the rate5 concide with a ri5e in goldblood 5ubgrub drone patrol5(4) which 5ugge5ts intentional culling5 of p5ionic5 who cant defend them5elve5 in order to rai5e the population(5) of powerful yet un5table p5ionic5 in the breeding pool

it5 incredibly likely that were going to be 5eeing more and more ca5e5 of un5table rookie5 in high 5tre55 enviroment5 taking out training comb5 and hive5hip5 or hive5tem5 on planet a5 young p5ionics grow into power their bodie5 cant handle exacerbated by clo5e proximity to other p5ionic5 and high power faucilitie5 and equipment/machinery

ok. Narrative obfuscation in House Of Leaves. It’s a relatively simple story about a man who moves into a house with his wife and kids, and the house is haunted. That’s it. The core themes are very transparent.

Except, that story is documented by a famous war documentarian, then published as a series of rare tapes, which are discoursed by film buffs, then interpreted from viewings and reading film critique by a blind old man, then his thoughts are transcribed into a manuscript by a series of young women, which is then compiled from scattered notes by the most mysoginistic, damaged, toxic pothead drop-out who won’t stop talking about his life, which is THEN edited and published by some vaguely nefarious agency who soberly refuse to provide any clarification or context.

It’s not simple, but there are so many different hands on the wheel with wildly differing opinions that you can’t discern the truth.

Johnny Truant is such a miserable hopeless fuck up. He has no sense of academic rigor or archival professionalism. Any interference he provides only muddies the waters and taints what would otherwise be a gripping piece of metaphysical film criticism. His neurotic rambling and personal anecdotes cloud an otherwise reasonable story.

If he wasn’t in it, if we could read Zampano’s manuscript directly, WE would be able to understand the truth. We would get it completely, and we wouldn’t have to encounter so much violence, so much miserable graphic detail. It would be a better story.

And fuck it, if we didn’t have to read all of Zampano’s tangents and analyses and interpretations, if we could just find a copy of the famous “five-and-a-half minute hallway” vhs, if we could SEE it, we’d understand. We wouldn’t need endless pontification of what Navidson and Karen’s marriage might entail, or recitations of what a director once said in a Rolling Stones article. We’d see the hallway itself, stretching out into what should be the backyard, and we’d get it. Hell, Zampano is blind in his old age. He can’t even watch the damn movie! But we could. We’d know instantly, the second we saw it. The impossibility of it, the gravity of it, the weight of that dark abyss.

And well, the VHS recording is a little dark, and the quality is poor, and maybe the white balance isn’t so perfect. And actually, VHs tapes could be manipulated. We can’t be sure that Navidson isn’t just using clever videography tricks to invent a hallway. If we were there, if we found the house (it’s in virginia, isn’t it? we even have the address). If we GO there, we could look down that hallway. And it’s dark, so if we just brought a flashlight, maybe took a few steps inside-

Analysis so bad you don't even know what it's talking about anymore.
