Nobody was like, I don't think that's real.
they all believed that they were pumping towards some definite goal.
And I think that by the end, I was inclined to believe that some version of it was real.
And so far as if you blast yourself with stimulating media while stimulating yourself, you can enter a kind of, you know, I've entered a flow state reading a great book, you know, and I mean, it hasn't been quite the goon state, but I do see there being something possible there.
I mean, probably not like you're entering some kind of fourth dimension of pleasure, but.
That's an amazing question.
Well, honestly, I was thinking a lot about one book that has done that for me, which is William Gaddis' JR, which is this famously forbidding like 800 page postmodernist novel that is composed entirely in sort of a
garbled fragments of dialogue with no sort of character tags or very limited description.
The reason I was thinking about it was because, I mean, obviously at no point in American history were tons of people reading difficult experimental novels, but I was just, the gooning seemed like the end of reading to me and the end of a culture in which such, the production and consumption of such works was plausible because it was sort of the furthest extension of like short form video content culture.
I don't want to sound like a moralizer.
I don't want to sound like
pedantic.
But that book was definitely on my mind.
And also that book happens to be about the sort of deterioration of US culture at the hands of media technology, primarily finance in the case of that book.
And I have entered a kind of goon state reading The Great Late William Gaddis.
So that would be my answer.
I mean, well, there are a lot of like sort of games and practices, you know, like I don't know if you guys have ever wank battling is one is one of those terms.
I think I get into that.
in the article and that is sort of like going back and forth with porn and trying to get each other off by learning each other's preferences and trying to send the best porn the porn you think they'll like the most basically boys can be sweet i know there's you know i want to be clear there's a lot of sweetness in this space a lot of these people are looking out for each other
And I mean, just the streaming.
