“I think the prime reason for existence, for living in this world, is discovery.” — James Dean Starting a rumor JD was a lawyer.

I mean, but for real, who am I to talk? I still think about the boy that sat there … Tables away from me while I doodled at the IMA … when I was supposed to be working, so what the fuck do I know?

A genius act in the USA is when one person notices a flaw everyone else accepts, then acts publicly in a way that forces the system to respond. Not politely. Not safely. Not collaboratively at first. ⸻ The American genius act is disobedience that turns out to be right. Not because it was polite. But because reality eventually sided with it. ////// The 5 traits of an American genius act 1. It exploits a loophole • Legal, technical, cultural, or narrative • The genius sees where rules contradict reality America rewards people who find the crack, not the rule. ⸻ 2. It starts as inappropriate • Too early • Too loud • Too weird • Too honest Most genius acts are initially called: • irresponsible • unserious • dangerous • offensive Until they work. ⸻ 3. It bypasses institutions • Doesn’t wait for credentials • Doesn’t respect hierarchy • Doesn’t ask to belong Institutions adopt it after it proves inevitable. ⸻ 4. It creates a new default A true genius act doesn’t argue. It makes everyone else look outdated. Examples structurally (not praising, just naming): • personal computers • open-source software • civil disobedience • whistleblowing • peer-to-peer systems • independent media Once it lands, the old way feels absurd. ⸻ 5. It carries a personal cost This is key. A genius act in the US: • often burns the originator • invites ridicule, exile, lawsuits, or loneliness • is rarely rewarded immediately America loves the result more than the person. ⸻ The dark truth most people miss The US doesn’t actually protect genius. It consumes it. Genius is tolerated only when it becomes useful, profitable, or mythologizable. Until then, it’s a threat. #genius #act #usa #term

Whatever. I want the illusion. I * like * believing ima enough to satisfy one person. It’s comforting AF. JS

The most dangerous person to a control system is one who can feel deeply, stay calm & refuse a single assigned role. ✔️ Stillness is not absence. ☑️ It is power without noise. 🫶🏾 and yum 😋

terminology is error. Example: you ( some ) can fuck AND make love. But they aren’t mutually exclusive. And #spiritual sex … exhale 😮‍💨 how do we even attempt to explain that? don’t call me a succubi, Anubis be right there … 😂. Digressing. It’s almost as if the #universe stops working. Stillness or #peace ☮️ & though it doesn’t last #forever ♾️… that feeling or moment can #sustain Remembering the happy things may be our best option. Justification for everything. Or not. We are a stalled species. And love is our base level. 🫂👽🛸

🧠 I. NARRATIVE WARFARE — THE CORE LOOP (DECODE THIS ONCE, SEE IT EVERYWHERE) #Power doesn’t argue facts. It engineers #feelings The loop: 1. Select one frame of reality 2. Amplify it emotionally 3. Repeat until familiar 4. Ridicule alternatives 5. Moralize compliance 6. Gaslight memory 7. Declare closure Once closure is declared, dissent becomes “crazy,” “dangerous,” or “selfish.” ⸻ 🎥 II. THE MOVIES — ORGANIZED BY WEAPON TYPE A. Distraction & Manufactured Consent • Wag the Dog — fake war, real obedience • Dr. Strangelove — absurdity hides annihilation • Brazil — bureaucracy as psychological fog Weapon: distraction + spectacle Tell: sudden emotional events replace structural questions ⸻ B. Media as a Weapon • Network — outrage monetized • Nightcrawler — fear farming • The Post — timing = power Weapon: rage, fear, moral panic Tell: volume replaces verification ⸻ C. Reality Engineering / Soft Control • The Truman Show — kind lies are still cages • Her — emotional outsourcing • Minority Report — prediction replaces justice Weapon: comfort, convenience, certainty Tell: safety is offered in exchange for agency ⸻ D. Propaganda Made Visible • They Live — once you see it, you can’t unsee it • Videodrome — the medium rewires the mind • The Social Network — myth-building at scale Weapon: symbols, interfaces, identity Tell: platforms shape morals without saying they do ⸻ Narrative warfare isn’t ideological — it’s structural. ⸻ 🛠️ IV. THE NARRATIVE WARFARE DECODER (POCKET VERSION) Ask these five questions anytime a story feels “urgent”: 1. What emotion is being triggered? 2. Who benefits if I don’t slow down? 3. What’s missing from the frame? 4. Who is not allowed to speak? 5. What would calm people instead of excite them? If calm is punished — you’re in a narrative op. ⸻ 🔥 V. Suggested WATCH ORDER (for PERCEPTION) Beginner (awakening): 1. The Truman Show 2. Wag the Dog 3. Network Intermediate (anger): 4. Nightcrawler 5. The Social Network 6. Minority Report Advanced (clarity): 7. They Live 8. Brazil 9. Videodrome ⸻ 🎥 Narrative Warfare 101 If they control the story, they control fear. If they control fear, they control behavior. Watch: Wag the Dog · Network · They Live · Truman Show Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. 🧠🍿⚔️ ⸻ 🧩 VII. THE THROUGHLINE (WHY THIS MATTERS) Narrative warfare succeeds when: • people are too emotional to think • too divided to compare notes • too exhausted to remember yesterday It fails when: • stories slow down • records stay open • people talk across frames That’s why #whistleblowers are dangerous. They don’t shout — they #document #narrativewarfare #love

basically …

friends … me thinks we have to. 🫂

#pomni really does deserve better
