what does your blog title mean

Assuming you mean "The Universe As A Causal Set"? Think in the near decade I've had this title you're one of the first to ask lmao... it's the title of appendix C from this paper that I find as an interesting theoretical cosmological model as well as a framing that i think is quite colorful as a demonstration for the awe-some scope of Cosmology as an epistemological project

the structure in mac and dennis break up

this is gonna be a short post tbh, I just rewatched the episode and I have a couple of thoughts.

if you need a refresher on what I think the structure is in general, I talk about it here.

I think Mac and Dennis Break Up shows us an example of Mac and Dennis (and Charlie and Frank) working properly in regards to the structure, let me explain why:

First... I don't think there's a need for me to describe the plot of the episode, we all know.

What I want to focus on, is that at one point Mac moves in with Frank and Charlie, and starts bringing his way of life to them.

At first, Frank is thrilled.

"I could use a little structure in my life here." he says.

This reminds me of dialogue from Carries a Corpse.

"Nobody admit this to Mac, but... I feel like he was carrying a ton of weight."

"That would be another one of his annoying identities... the man who could carry stuff."

He's been shown carrying Dennis, on top of generally being inclined to micromanage, take care of others so they're safe, and make decisions or at least demand to be consulted in them (like which movie to watch on movie night).

That's when Mac works best, so I assume that Mac generally brings structure (or is a man of action, as he describes it).

Later on, we see Mac take this too far, and Frank doesn't like it anymore. To me, this is because what this episode tells us is that Charlie and Frank don't work well with a set structure, the way that Mac provides. They're more free.

I think this reading is important because it shows me why The Gang Gets Romantic fundamentally fails in its objective (not as an episode god forbid, I mean in the narrative, especially for Mac and Dennis).

It applies the romcom structure to Charlie and Frank, while it doesn't to Mac and Dennis, when it should be the opposite. Throughout the episode we see that Mac and Dennis keep fitting the tropes to the romcom structure, but they refuse to follow it, and thus it crumbles. It can't work.

Here's another thing.

Dennis' back broke in the S15 finale.

That is funny, yes, but what does this mean when I say that Mac is the (his) structure, then?

Well... Carries a Corpse implies that Mac was carrying most of the weight of the corpse, and the corpse is meant to be the show... and most show meta is basically the same as Dennis meta (most meta lines seem to relate to him, whether the fact he left for north dakota and came back, or the fact he's a dad, being between life and death, breaking his back aka the structure, and so on), as I have discussed better in my other post.

Point being, Mac carries Dennis. That's what he's meant to do, and what he does best in their relationship.

This makes me think of another recent scene that I think is emblematic of their dynamic... but in an interesting way.

So, in 2020: a Year in Review, Mac and Dennis work together on a song.

They seem to be in harmony, but eventually start disagreeing and stop altogether to focus on something else. Why?

Because Dennis is working on the backup vocals, and Mac is working on the words. Which means their roles are reversed. Mac is supposed to be carrying the song, like the wind beneath his wings that he is, and Dennis, like the man of words that he is, should be responsible for the lyrics. They're doing each other's job, which means any harmony they reach is still bound to crack a bit the moment the song doesn't work for them.

Their seating position on their sofa reflects this.

Compare it to Mac and Dennis Break Up, which is supposed to be our ideal.

They're in each other's places, in 2020.

This isn't new, they've been sitting in each other's places ever since Break Up. Mac was sitting in Dennis' place in MFHP, Dennis was sitting in Mac's place in Gets Romantic.

So tl;dr... Mac and Dennis work well under structure, when Mac is the one to bring it and carry Dennis. They fit a proper couple structure after all. Charlie and Frank don't work as well under structure, since their relationship is more unique and doesn't quite abide by normal rules because of that.

This does bring me to one last consideration though...

They're back in their right spots, in season 16! Only problem is... couch is different. I would argue an inflatable couch doesn't offer the same amount of support (structure) that a normal one would...

Now that Dennis' structural essence broke, is he gonna feel what it's like when Mac is absent?

Perhaps this is why in Cursed we get Mac as the lucky one while the others as so unlucky they start to believe they're cursed (according to the synopsis...).

So the whole gang needs Mac?

Well...

In Goes To Hell pt2, when they build the human pyramid, it's both Mac and Dennis that end up at the bottom, as its structure.

So maybe... Dennis needs Mac as his structure, and the gang needs them to be in sync so they can both, together, support them (or shut the hell up about it, as both madbu and s15 would argue). Maybe this realization could be what brings the gang to work together in order to get them together. But that's getting into just speculation so imma end it here.

I like these thoughts though... Mac and Dennis being the foundation, the structure of the whole thing :)

we are fuckin COOKIN with this character analysis this morning holy fuck

not my assignment currently looking like a james somerton script

[itspileofgoodthings]

My principal doesn’t believe that the point of an English class is to introduce the children to great literature and model loving it, analyzing it, and engaging it for them and with them. But I do.

[aces-to-apples]

I understand that op's frustration but also i am in all fandoms exclusively for the shipping because the shipping makes my brain go "wheeee!" and i think that dude needs to make his peace with the fact that a lot of us don't care enough, and some of us are genuinely too stupid, to give a shit about critical analysis of fake stories that we consume for fun in our spare time when we're not killing ourselves at work for the sake of capitalism. I mean if i wanted some jackass to order me to answer critical thinking questions about fictional stories i'd have continued with school.

And like. Who gives a shit if i "descend into full-on fandom-style shipping at the expense of the themes, characterization, non-romantic relationships, and general content of the work" like what the genuine fuck could it possibly matter, if somebody doesn't want to look at my shitty jokes and nonsense ships they can simply scroll away or block me and they'll never have to again. I would encourage that guy, in fact, to learn that vital skill of saying "you're a dumbfuck and i hate you" under his breath every time he sees a post he hates and then blocking 3/4 of tumblr. I think he'll be happier and less sanctimonious that way.

Also something tells me that he does not, in fact, "hate" to all but call shippers stupid and uneducated, you know? Like i can't put my finger on it but i suspect he's been chomping at the bit to say it because he thinks he's the smartest, specialist boy on the internet and all the icky fujoshis should be as smart as him and talk about shot composition or whatever instead of dicks. Or whatever.

[destinyandcoins]

enough posting about the argument over 4th person pronouns. can we finally agree to collectively standardize ".meme" as a way to reference specific internet Bits, I am tired of trying to remember if the joke I'm using was originally a gif or jpg or second-guessing if people will understand that i'm referencing something

[leyyvi]

love that my supposedly high-level writing class has taught me nothing about structural research papers regarding Chicago style formatting and has no assignments based on that for the entire semester aside from ONE research paper. and im getting 100000 notes about everything when we weren't taught this :/ love that so much

[tarantula-hawk-wasp]

Uh oh girlies I’m in a bad mental state and I don’t have time for any of my normal coping mechanisms because half the bad mental state is stress from how much I have to do before the semester ends

[ilostyou]

there is in fact something curious about my brain that it feels like it can only organize itself properly on paper to the point where it has me writing most of my paper by hand

Marxism as a “Scientific” Revolution?

So I happen to be reading both The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels, and The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn, at the same time, and there really seems to be some sort of connection here, at least philosophically / theoretically... might be worth looking into for someone in academia... 

[jojolimons]

ok damn i was frantically coping searching for a connection between greek and chrisitian art and then article id glossed over several times jumped out at me

as it turns out halos, like in general, might have been inspired by laurels gifted by nike the goddess of victory

[paperbag1999]

genuinely the most fun i have had learning in a while was in my psychometrics class in the winter. i loved that class the whole time but i was so enthralled by the two weeks where our prof would just show up and tell us how he developed the honesty-humility factor in personality testing. and i think this upcoming year will be very nice as i have honours seminar and topic classes and then my other classes are taught by the same prof, one is indigenous psych and the other is qualitative methods and from what i've heard indigenous psych is very discussion heavy. so i think this year will be nice! but it is just so fucking hard finishing up these classes with the same memorize -> test structure like i am BEYOND THIS.
