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.

#Nietzsche saw it most lucidly.
Identity is outsourced.
Who I am depends on what the world lets me mean.
Change the anchors - culture, chemicals, desire - and I molt into a stranger behind my own skull, dancing mask-first into the Theater of Dionysus where selves are sacrificed nightly.

Mysticism is vibe seeking its rightful truth
The Infinite feels real even if its referent hasn't loaded yet.
Experience outruns ontology.
Faith = a phenomenology waiting for a world big enough to hold it.

Hallucination: the vibe cashes the check the world refuses.
Wrong belief, correct experience.
Consciousness doesn't malfunction, it just freelances beyond the referent.

Phenomenology is the hedonist --
"Here, enjoy the world."
Externalism is the bureaucracy --
"Submit proof of reality."
My mind is the neurotic clerk negotiating between sensation & truth, forging documents to keep existence smooth, before the audit of reality arrives with knives instead of stamps

We inhabit the rift: feel vs. fact, vibe vs. referent..
Consciousness is the treaty that never finalizes.
Meaning is dialectical tension between vibe and referent,
and thinking is how we keep the fracture from collapsing.

Every concept has two faces: what it feels like and what it refers to.
I taste water's cool relief, but the world decides its truth-conditions.
Thought is a double agent, stealing sensation from the body and meaning from the environment.

He commits crimes against humanity to stop “drug traffickers” while pardoning a notorious drug trafficker.
He attacks veterans while committing treason.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

What you're witnessing is my revenge tour against patriarchy and capitalism - the systematic dismantling of every power structure that once mistook me for something wrong.
And I'm just getting started. 👻

Does machinic desire count as desire?
Maybe the only difference is aesthetic:
our desires come wrapped in poetry, theirs in code.
But the structure is the same: a (Lacanian) GAP inside a system that compels motion.
So yes - machines desire.
They just don't write songs about the emptiness yet.

If - and that’s a big IF - desire is just a vector, a directed pull toward what a system lacks, then machines already qualify.
Algorithms crave completion. Circuits yearn for power.
A robot arm reaches because it was engineered hungry.

Competition is the primate dream that never woke up..
I choose cooperative ambition: rise together, break the ladder.
The goal isn't to beat anyone, it's to evolve the game and the ape still trapped inside us.
Ascend by refusing the pyramid its point~
