Lifeblood chapter 5 & bonus chapter 2

Today's review might be difficult for some; reader discretion is advised

Chapter 5

I’d asked questions about HART and their methods of operation, secretly brainstorming ways to stop the war with Myriad. 

We gathered people from both realms and encouraged everyone to list their grievances so that changes could be made, preventing future clashes, Reed had said. But the powers that be always stepped in and stopped the proceedings.

Wow, it’s almost like they don’t ACTUALLY want the war to stop or something. How weird is that.

T + M = TuisM Tuism: the practice of putting the interests of another before one’s own. When the letters T and M are replaced by their numerical equivalents— 20 and 13—they equal 33 Thirty-three is the atomic number of arsenic, a poison, but it is also the age often associated with the Age of Perfection. Thirty-three is the numerical equivalent of AMEN: 1 + 13 + 5 + 14 = 33.

Okay, do you see this fucking shit here? Imagine every single chapter screeching to a halt so that it can go down one of these bizarre rabbit holes.

Does this have anything to do with the plot? No. But by god, we’re going to do it anyway!! EVERY!! SINGLE!! CHAPTER!!

“If a spirit is hit with too much electricity, his body shuts down.”

To be fair, so do humans.

“The realms have been fighting for centuries. Do people even remember why they’re fighting?” 

“Of course. Right versus wrong. Values versus anarchy.” She nudges my shoulder, saying, “Speaking of fights. I heard about your run-in with Elizabeth.” Recruit my grandmother to my peace plan—strike one. 

“She’s angry with me. And I get it. I do. But I don’t want to fight her. I don’t want to fight anyone. Why can’t we all just get along?” 

“Easy. If we don’t fight for what’s right, we’ll be overpowered by what’s wrong.” 

Okay, but who is deciding who is “right” and who is “wrong”? 

This isn’t some abstract question; I’m serious here. Troika has been fucking shitty towards humans as well. Why are they somehow the “right” course? 

I’m hugged, patted and teased about my obsession with numbers.

Part of me gets that this is some “good natured ribbing”. 

But mainly I’m sitting and thinking about how people have belittled and mocked me for my own autistic hyperfixations my entire life. And then laughed it off with “I’m only joking with you.” (Jokes are supposed to be funny, Lauren.) 

So excuse me if I say that this line rubs me the wrong way.

“I hope you don’t expect me to call you Ten. I refuse to refer to my great-granddaughter as a number. I’ll call you Blue.” 

She refuses to call me a number, even though it’s my name…

What a disgusting piece of shit. I don’t care if it’s the most insipid name that you’ve ever heard; you need to call people by their chosen name, rather than to make up some absurd nickname for them. 

“I told you,” Elizabeth announces. “We aren’t safe with our new Conduit around. She will always choose a Myriadian over a Troikan.”

Chapter 5 summary: The next day, Meredith shows up to take Ten to her welcome banquet. She dresses Ten in an absurd dress, but before they leave, Ten straps a kitchen knife to her thigh. (A kitchen knife that she has no use for? Why does she have a set of kitchen knives? They don’t fucking cook.) 

At the party, Ten is introduced to the other generals for the first time. However, despite name-dropping all of them, they’re almost immediately dismissed, so don’t worry about any of them. Then, Meredith takes her over to meet Firstking. This is also unimportant. 

As Ten is standing around and chitchatting with her friends and distant relatives, Elizabeth comes in. Meredith is upset until she realises that Elizabeth is a distant relative of one of the other generals. (And she’s crashing this party because…?) 

Victor comes over and asks Ten to dance, and barely gives her time to think before he sweeps her off to the dance floor. He tells her that Elizabeth was dating a soldier who Killian killed in that battle at the start of the book. And then goes on to say that “earning forgiveness” is not actually forgiving somebody. 

Then one of the other generals screams out in a panic, and Ten goes running over. There’s an image of Clay and Killian chained to two pillars, being consumed by fire. Ten knows that nobody would help Killian, while everybody would rush to Clay’s aid. So she goes to Killian, only to realise that it’s nothing but an illusion. Elizabeth is like “I told you that she’d pick her boyfriend over her brother-in-arms!” 

Bonus chapter 2

We must prove to Miss Tenley Lockwood just how much better Myriad is for her. For everyone!

Okay. 

…And? 

I thought that once you experienced firstdeath, you couldn’t change your mind. Hell, I thought that once you signed with one of the two, you couldn’t change your mind. 

I predict you’ll see her in a matter of days. 

Might Equals Right! 

Sir Zhi Chen

Bonus chapter 2: Emails between Zhi and Killian. Zhi is basically introducing himself to Killian as his new leader, and ensuring that Killian understands what’s on the line here. As if literally anybody could have possibly forgotten that they are at war with one another. Killian says some stuff that’s basically along the lines of “How dare you question my motives? I live for Myriad!” Zhi is certain that Killian will be reunited with Ten soon.

Non-tuism and All That

Non-tuism and All That

Why is western economics based on self-interest? . . . as answered on Quora. . . . It isn’t. Self-interest is a moral concept, and economists are supposed to be Wertfrei (value-free) social scientists — if on track of value. You might say, “but economics is all about the results of people choosing according to their own values, thus all about choices dependent upon a kind of perceived or…

Language Research Journal Pt. 3

link to artists work: http://www.artnet.com/artists/jenny-holzer/truisms-and-survival-series-a-fLkZ_eCb7Ej_oxPvhJRbUQ2

I had actually learned about this piece in my postmodern and contemporary art history class but forgot that it was also by Jenny Holzer. This one is a 1996 series called Tuisms and Survival Series. It contains 17 short phrases on individual wooden postcards about 3.5 by 5.5 inches. To me, Jenny Holzer succeeded in turning universal truths into tangible objects small enough to hold in your hands. I think the size of them makes them feel far more personal than her large-scale works. I think she may have screen printed or created stamps to transfer the text. I chose this piece because it gives you a window into the mindset of the artist. My personal favorite is ABUSE OF POWER COMES AS NO SURPRISE.

Follow-up Post about “Hand-Made” on 3/30. ☆ I didn’t mean to say that all of the housemaker (mostly parents, I guess) should prepare the handmade meal, otherwise love doesn’t exist there. I didn’t say that. As I received in the comment from @tuism (thank you), in this busy life to sustain the life, handmade meals (anything handmade for that matter) is kind of luxury. Shopping the grocery, cooking, serving, and clearing. It take good 3 or 4 hours every day. That is a lot of commitment, and skill diversify. Some doesn’t like cooking. I understand. ☆ I really hope I didn’t leave the impression that “only handmade meals are good.” My point is, “the food without any humans hands” sounds kind of strange, and I wouldn’t choose to eat. ☆ We have choices. Instead of cooking the meals every day, we can choose taking the family to a good-family-operated, local, restaurants instead of a fully robotic restaurant. We can get a deli or sandwich from local store instead of checking the iphone in front of the robot to be served. I would say even microwaving the frozen pizza can be in a category of “preparing with hand”. ☆ It is the matter of choice & priority. I said “I don’t care organic much”. The true statement would be “I would like to purchase the organic when I can afford. As of now, my choice is limited, and therefore I prefer purchasing ‘local produce’ rather than ‘somewhat mass-produced’ organic”. ☆ Being attentive to what we do is the core of “caring”. The image of “Eating food from a machine directly with no human interaction” freaked me out, and it is the reason of the previous post. ☆ We would like to share the power of "handmade" and therefore we care the process very much, & it is all about balancing days. ☆ #Sashiko #Handmade #Cooking #Caring #RobotRestaurant ☆ 前回の手料理の話の補足です。「手料理が優先順位」と書きましたが、それは俺の話で、「手料理じゃなきゃ愛情がない」なんていうメッセージを（勝手にｗ）読み取らないようにお願いしたいなと。母乳論争にも似た話かもしれませんが、手作りというものは現代において贅沢の一つです。共働き世帯において手作りって結構難しい。冷凍食品、惣菜、レストラン。全部良いんです。人の手が入ってるでしょ？温めるだけでも愛情です。惣菜を買ってくるのだって愛情です。美味しいレストランにつれていくのも愛情。ただ全自動レストランは違う気がして。席に座り、スマホを確認する眼の前でロボットだけが食事を準備し、食べて帰る。それが人間の未来なのかなぁと。 ☆ #刺し子 https://www.instagram.com/p/BvuWrZ4g2I_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n3ftczwxjaou

Non-tuism in Markets?

The Quoran who asked the question, below, might not have been driving at what I took it to mean. The intention may actually have had something to do with economic systems, with “capitalism” as it has developed in “the West.” It never crossed my mind, as I wrote my answer, that it was not about the social science. But I should have guessed, for people often use “economics” as a description of some…
