NAKED HUMANITY-ONE

 

This 45 part series of vignettes with their audio file compliments give the slice of the expanse that motivates the (ir)rationales of the excuses and apologetics for this reality we deem as ‘civilization’.

A series of verbal vignettes that are a survey of the expanse in the first person, and to the observed, and to the reported deeds and thoughts of we medulla-guided beings of this ‘species-intelligence' in all its inglorious dimensions.

Language of a/the Hustle

 

Language of a/the Hustle

This topic derived from a notion I had of the developed verbosity of my step-daughter's son, who 7-years ago had trouble putting together a sentence, and now because of his interactions with his remote video game partners is the most verbose by volume of words spoken in this house right now. Even more important was his relationship with others and his increased estimation of himself.

I'm going to touch on the issue of 'wokism' and 'CRT' as analogous to what the maternal grandson has achieved for himself. The extensive conversations engendered while playing the video games with remote players has developed a culture of lexicon and vocabulary that has taken him from an emotional dependency to a mercenary dependency. The former dependency was from an inability. The latter is from the newly found self-definition of himself and consequently those in his functional environment. His language development and sense of identity shows the importance of the language WE CHOOSE for our own mental navigation with and among others. The degree the language we choose is of our personal choice for our navigational and simultaneously emotional needs is the degree of our own self-determination.

It's at this point that 'the hustle' becomes pertinent to this topic. When I talk about 'the hustle', I'm talking about the means we employ 'to get by', 'to make it' on whatever terms is necessary to adapt, adjust, accommodate ourselves to our circumstances [NOT THE DANCE]

Getting-by as a 'Hustle' was classically and is still derived from surviving from hand-to-mouth on the street. It was by and for an expedient ends-surviving, getting by. It became an extrapolated metaphor of 'surviving', 'getting-by' in the slum, a ghetto.

Thing about it now, is that people live in the slums and ghettoes of their minds, as they see [though don't recognize it] in the same way that people on the streets do things for things and status. It's done away from the streets in more pristine environs. Yet, the motivations are very similar.

The rat-race for trappings, whether for survival or for comfort and luxuries brings out similar rationales of expedience.

It's all about getting out of the rat-race and being free. I'd say that even for the rich with connections and influence it's still 'the great escape'. Being in a position above it all to the street hustler's being a part of an all-enveloping game is the difference of perspective with the socially and legally connected and influential to the street counter-part.

The hustler may call you a pimp or a whore, not as a slander of you but equating you in his outing-idioms by how you act. Whether you are run by others or you run others is the class distinction of street hustlers. Trapping are no more than the props of your hustle. Your pretentions a. His nd posturing are 'the con' of your hustle.

Bringing it back to language and culture, language and its lexicon are part of the aura of illusion by which you define yourself and those like you for the way you act and resultingly are.

It's here that people pimp themselves out and become whores of their own lexicon of linguistics. Give anyone, any group an exclusive space for themselves, their thoughts and choice of word descriptions then you have the self-aura of word illusions. Pimped out and whored-out by your own aura of words-a self-generated/inflicted caste.

When it's said, 'Don't blame the Playa. Blame the Game.', I'm brought back to that 11 year old kid budding verbosity from playing remote competition on video games. His verbosity of language, its lexicon of self-identity come from the context of being a playa of those games. We have developed in similar ways for our self-identification and purpose by the agenda of games that comprise how we get by and get-it-on in our 'hustle'!

Freedom of Body & MIND...

 There's a confluence of emergence of things. 

Those things come in various forms and from various directions. You can see the means to what ever provincial  ends they are promoting. What they promote with the audacity of verity and the presumptuous righteousness of their cultural smug insularity is an existence that gives them an entitlement. Whether the entitlement is from their present advantages of status or the disadvantages of their status, their means rationalize an exemption for being accountable for the unethicalities of those means characterized as a just utilitarian defense.

In contrast, there are the eruptive outbreaks of a free life being exhibited, for the sake of life, itself. It could be civically asymmetric and "criminal" to being outlandishly provocative in its counter-cultural exhibition. Both represent a defiance to the matric of behavioral choreography set for the programmed thinking and behavior the rest exist in their provincial cul de sacs of insular conformity.

As one person mentioned to me, "Each creates their own reality". By declaring that affirm the figurative sense of the Hindi caste system, as well undermining their own moral rationalizations and smugness. Yet, as a witness observing and now giving this testimony, the 'Freedoms' expressed are of different qualities. One freedom is based on trappings that are 'the objects of evidence' for their existence. This contrasts with the other extreme that is the near nihilistic joy in the moment, for which the moment is enshrined, and the tangible trappings of the consequences of that enshrined moment being  some level of inconsequential.

In this present historical environment, in which those of aesthetic trappings of consequence are in a zealousness of conservation that has all-the-trappings of self-preservation. Life has become a life-or-death effort. With that others become their incidental collateral damage of regretful or apologetic rationalizations. Yet, life is degraded and degenerated in this martially-minded aggression at its most proto-versions. Life is just struggle??

On the nihilistic, exhibitionist extreme life becomes a cathartic rapture of equal sacrifice of one's own than some others' life. Metaphorically similar to that Vietnam-era photo of the Buddhist monk who immolated himself in the streets, but in the figurative sense of a rapturous devotion to exhibiting a free-will to a chosen self-destructive extreme in the passion.

Or is it the operational efficiency of the cockroach. The aesthetics-of-life are the operations of the basic sustenance and maintenance in the shared atmospherics of some compulsive purpose to serve 'Life' for where ever one exists
