ESINT

My mind is like working good.In the last two years, there has been quite a lot of use of Osint Open source intelligence. Nerds who try to find things to talk about by looking at sources readily available online.It is not so different from what we are all trying to kind of do.Who did what to whom? and how can I back that up?Hard data to gossip a string of narrative elements into a story for whatever helpless individual is willing to listen to it.And you see, this is where I think: Ah! You are wrong.It's very dangerous to do that. Creating logical sense out of something that you piece together from a biased and low-sample amount of snippets. Bibs and bobs of found footage. A collage of things you find online. This can be very dangerous as you're looking through binoculars made from two toilet rolls. Trying to see some vibrazione, that only you think you can see. However, it is a nice hobby, and it's a hard cozy hobby as it has an edgy vibe.But you can do it in a cozy setting. It can only work if you see the entire elephant, when constructing an image. It must be multidimensional. With a large sample size. And nose diving from vibe to vibe is maybe not enough.I think if you want to craft a story, a film, or a movie, you're a designer pretending to do anything outside of your actual field. "I make deconstructed theater, by doing fashion design."Even if you are a government agent, employed to organize: and this is a word I don't hear a lot anymore: psy-ops, which probably means that they're getting better at it because only unsuccessful psy-ops are known as psyops. Successful psy-ops are commonly held beliefs.What they have in common, what they all must realize. When stringing together narrative elements, is that they need to make emotional sense before they make logical sense. Why? It works, bitch. It is probably better to be akin to medieval Osint, a peasant climbing a tree. If you climb that lonely tree in an oasis and happen to discover you live in a vibe desert, having to resort to international air travel to catch a vibe. I will try my best to supply you with some Brosint from the Periphery to console you and help you catch a vibe. First, it is good to mention that it's probably good to do the opposite of cultural analysis. I propose a ceasefire in the field of cultural analysis.Critical theory has become a theatrical science of protest.After happy hour at the bar, we can return to amateur hour on Discord.I prefer a rooftop bar, to be as high as possible. The squid ink pasta no longer tastes good in this hyperlocal resort that I call: my room. Two years ago, Covid 1 BC or actually Covid 1 AD. A destination mood board would look something like: Bari, Bucharest, Beijing.Flixbus to Vladivostok Events were far and few between. I need some time and distance, and I’m not calculating velocity. Don’t stop believingA bad memory is a microaggression against thyselfIn 2018, we all used to be event managers.I have whiteboard markers in the shower to write on the tiles, as it is the most productive room in the house.There's no doubt about it; in hindsight, Covid was cool.Quite obviously, Covid was cool because there was a united front of you and me. Feeling like we were 18 on some sort of unemployed summer vacation of teenage gaming. In combination with the fact that there was an elderly pair, also known as the government, telling you what to do and what not to do. So it was very easy to rebel against that and it felt good. Because nobody that you actually knew was ever in any sort of real danger. And then besides that, you had this nice, weird, overly hysterical news feed that was going on all the time. Punctuated by extreme boredom, in combination with the fact that every one of your single fucking problems actually had nothing but a good answer to it, because why do you feel bad, Covid!In 2018, we all used to be event managers. 2020 finally killed off Facebook (back big time), and Instagram never really got its level out of the theater of protest, That killed events completely. And then we had this little bit of mania: going back to the club. ‘Slutty summer’ Suddenly, everybody was drinking cocktails. It was beautiful. It was wonderful. Rooftop bars galore. But, however, the bill still had to be paid, and three cool kids you just met, ordering whiskey after whiskey sour, just Irish exited the rooftop bar. In other words, inflation became a thing. Everybody's complaining all the time. What should I do? What to do? What to do? What to do? A funeral of public life. Worse than Covid, vibelockdown. Stagflation! And a Stoic one at that. Stoic stagflation, where nothing seemed to be happening over an extreme amount of pages. And yet, normal society continues to evolve. Because outside my window right now, out of sight, on the parking that is larping as the piazza, four men with fat bikes—four thousand euros in total—are all chilling outside in the rain. More and more storms are coming (it has rained every day since October

I was watching an interview that dated from 2018, wherein they brought all the major player off the 2008 financial crisis together at a dinner.Personally I think that is a great idea.

Mania from the periphery of style

Toot Toot welcome to zero inside information newsletter. Thanks for listening. So You are asking me for a drastic fantasy?ヽ`、ヽ``、ヽ`ヽ`、、ヽ `ヽ 、ヽ`🌙`ヽヽ`ヽ、ヽ`ヽ`、ヽ``、ヽ 、``、 `、ヽ` 、` ヽ`ヽ、ヽ `、ヽ``、ヽ、``、`、ヽ``、 、ヽヽ`、`、、ヽヽ、``、 、 ヽ`、 ヽ``、 ヽ`ヽ`、、ヽ `ヽ 、 🚶ヽ````ヽヽヽIf you feel like olive oil larping as dip sauce for stale bread. I come to you with good newswe are about to enter a little mood slowly snowballing into a big mood.Im really passionate and confused about a lot of things my plan is to slowly introduce them to this news letter podcast format. That I think is a nice combination between, images and sound, text and comfort.When ever I make a graph I have the weird tendency to make time on the y axis go down. 30 is the new 60, 60 is the new 90, 90 is the new dead. Im recently loving the all business approach.Full of shit, manic. A mood that is unsubscribed from the Netflix of pain. It is rather Subscribed to a premium of 360-video Vr theatre at all times. Let's call it Insanity as a business model. Oh ye If there are any terms you might want to explore further, I have hyperlinks in the transcription on my substack. So you know what I’m talking about. I come before you with some humble ideas about: Life liberty and the pursuit of mania. in the second part I will explore some ideas about a style: gore-tex rococo, a dark cozy trend, maybe an extrapolation of Cottagecore. I suspect this style will begin Feeding into the Micro mainstream, So this news letter is some sort of unauthorised trend report if you will, like a biography that the subject disagrees with. The style of the news letter is Stemming from Craft-core writing. Craft-core has been trending in fashion for well over a year now. A DIY look where everything is permitted as long as it is badly made. Unfinished seams, patch work. Abhorrent material choices, we can’t get enough of it. Overlocked hems. Lots of loose treads with raw edge lettuce hems, crooked zippers. Zero expertise creates a sense of style for this clown-esk era. I think Craft-core clothing is a good interlude to a state of becoming perma-artisanal. What craft core writing is, I will subject to a natural process over time. I suspect it will be Very ambiguous complicated and somewhat sillyWho cares about spelling if no one reads anyway. All I can say is that, I am speaking to you from a room with one RGB LED in every corner and no furniture. Purple, red, green, and yellow light. These are colours I like and they are shining bright at the moment.In this world of eternal optimisation, It is good to be pre-occupied with the next step. Yet the next step might be backwards, so we will see how this goes.Hey, lets get Back on task We are not looking for a relatively mild mental illness, But full-blown maniaThere is no reason not to be manic anymore, reality doesn’t exist outside cultural analysis, let’s see who can out petty who.Domestic cozy as introduced on the ribbon farm and widely experienced in 2019, staying at home, clubbing is for old people, all that jazz, let’s not go out, have a quiet life. This is no match for artisanal hypomania. This is not millennial individualism- audience inquiry, where-oh-where are my fans?This is frontline, fire and forget, Call Of Duty Xbox Live chatroom, yo mama, drone execution neurosis. Tail end maximalism. When I recently saw the release of Cyberpunk 2077 the aesthetics filled me with dread. Until I heard about the infinite number of glitches and bugs plaguing the game. Weather, day, night, and time of day change instantly when you bump into another car while driving. People do weightlifting with dumbbells while simultaneously holding a gun. It leads me to say That the bugs in cyberpunk are the only true artistic aspects of the game. The cyberpunk bugs serve as a blip in a model making me Think mania is the little mood that is comingeveryone completely manic all the time. But not in a millennial way, looking for audiences in every space, trying to get rewards, that are going to increase through, what millennial individualism thinks pays off, no. They have nothing in the bank of credibility anymore. We are looking at face value pure and unfiltered, mania“Moooooooooooooom? “Can we have mania from the stock market?”“No, we have mania at home.”The good thing about mania is that it makes non-events interesting.After a full year, running the engines at idle power, I am wondering if this stationary engine is actually a tire burning, rubber melting smoking hot wheel-spin before The last big jerk off.Calling the new generation, generation Z is not a very optimistic thing to do. BTW the new new generation is called Gen Alpha, I suspect the chief reason to call them that, is some sort of post-apocalypse anthropocene art-show fantasy thinking.In a way the world is filled with non events, the brown bits of engagement, on the bottom of the pan have been deglazed with natural wine, engagement has been reduced spectatorship at all times. The caramelised fond sticking to the pan toning
