Frank Zappa - Jesus Thinks You're A Jerk
YouTube video by YoKey
youtu.be
Celebrating the cosmic comedy of Jimmy Swaggart's exit by cranking Zappa’s "Jesus Thinks You’re a Jerk."
The televangelist grift dies as satire lives on - righteous riffs for a fallen fraud.
Play it loud.
Let the hypocrisy rot.

Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil... for a mind that never descends into depth will mistake its own reflections for commandments, and enforce them with the cruelty of the insecure.

The unobservable realm gives us only its outline, never its pulse.
We read the scaffolding, not the soul.
That's the riddle of Neo-Kantian Nietzschean Structural Realism: a Universe forever in lingerie, never nude.

If the unobservable can only be known structurally - not intrinsically - then the Universe stays veiled, its essence withheld.
Call it Neo-Kantian Nietzschean Structural Realism: a cosmos that shows its form, never its face.

Nature kills us; we answer by editing nature's terms. That's the real danger of the human: we glitch the script that made us.
The void isn't our burden, it's our canvas.
And history ends not with rest, but with mind continuing to revise the final page.

To act against instinct isn't tragedy, it's humanity's jailbreak. Kojeve calls it negation; I call it revision.
When the animal hesitates, the meta-animal rewrites.
We don't just face death; we convert it into narrative torque, an engine for re-authorship.

Kojeve says humans are the beasts who carry nothingness - aware of death, bent toward self-negation.
But i sees that "nothing" as raw potential: the editable void.
Consciousness isn't a wound; it's a loophole in the survival code nature failed to encrypt.

Time isn't a projection, and it isn't waiting on our perception.
It's the Universe metabolizing itself, change crystallized into sequence.
We don't invent time; we ride it.
Archaeology just lets us read the fossils left behind in the wake of reality's ongoing digestion.

Just to set the record straight: no, I don't believe the Universe is a simulation in the literal sense, only that reality behaves like one whenever consciousness forgets it's co-authoring the code.

Property dualists try to save the soul by saying mind emerges from the brain's architecture, fine.
But emergence still means *dependence*:
change the matter, change the mind.
Gage took a metal spear through his cortex and became someone else.
That's not mysticism, that's mechanics.

Even Hasker's emergent dualism admits it:
mind isn't some ghost floating free,
it emerges from matter arranged just right,
and warps when that matter warps.
Phineas Gage proved it with steel through his skull: rearrange the brain → rearrange the self.

Still clinging to an immortal soul?
Then explain why every crack in the brain dents the mind in the same shape.
If mind were separate, damage wouldn't redraw the self with surgical precision.
Neurons glitch → consciousness glitches.
That's the whole sermon.

Humans aren't noble void-bearers, we're the animal that hacks its own fear of death into fuel.
Kojeve calls it nothingness; i call it the editable abyss.
We become human the moment instinct falters and imagination overrides the survival script.

I've seen every episode of The Rockford Files at least a hundred times.
Some call that mental illness.
I call it a metaphysical initiation rite:
a sunburnt California gnosis where Jim Rockford teaches me how to out-hustle the Demiurge with a busted Pontiac and a smirk. 😆

A buyer choosing between 30-year and 50-year loans with an interest rate of 6.25% would hypothetically save $250 a month at most. But instead of paying about $438,000 in interest over the life of the 30-year loan, they would pay $816,000 in interest over 50 years — about 86% more.

Tonight the cosmos lets you trace its bones, not its blood.
Tonight's glyph is:
⟁ - The Veiled Relation
Name: The Xenostructure
Meaning: You glimpse the pattern, never the core.
Function: Marks nights when reality shows only its scaffolding -
relations, networks, echoes -
while the intrinsic heart stays locked behind the Kantian curtain.

If I need to annihilate the jagged circus inside me -- the trauma clown, the schizoid word-salads, the interior warcrime -- I'll take acid and let a goddess smother me into transcendence.

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

Meta-Grammar: A Gnostic Autopsy

Gnosis begins at the edit function. When I see the code writing me, I can rewrite it.
The heresy is simple: I am not obliged to use the grammar I inherited.
