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.

Your mind isn't sealed in bone.
Iit spills into notebooks, rituals, tools, sex toys.
Memory lives in photographs; attention borrows from architecture.
Consciousness is a distributed plot.
Your brain is only one of the co-authors and the world keeps adding scenes you never approved.

Panpsychism / Consciousness as Fundamental!
Maybe we kept hunting for consciousness inside matter because we were afraid to ask the inverse:
what if matter is just consciousness slowed to a crawl?
The Universe might be thinking already- we're just the parts that can complain about it.

If a being could act human while feeling nothing inside, then behavior is just theater.
The zombie argument reveals: consciousness isn's a performance, it's the audience.
We fear zombies because they expose our suspicion that most people are already sleepwalking.

Silly me, I just assumed everyone would be goth by 2025, once we all finally admitted the world is a haunted house pretending to be a civilization.

AI might have meaning without vibe.
An AI could track "water" reliably, refer to H₂O precisely, and FEEL NOTHING.
Pure semantic skeleton.
A mind with truths but zero taste of reality.
Meaning stripped of experience exposes the possibility of a world correctly represented but NEVER LIVED.

Alien minds could share our experiences but not our truths.
A being could feel "wetness" exactly like we do, yet refer to something non-H₂O as water.
Perfectly synced phenomenology with divergent ontology.
Sensation harmonizes; meaning betrays. Shared experience doesn't guarantee shared reality.

If the feel of a concept can detach from its referent, art and propaganda can rewire meaning by reshaping vibe, not facts
You don't change truth; you change HOW TRUTH FEELS.
Control the qualia and you stealth-edit the moral universe while people think they're simply enjoying a story.

Externalism proves what German Idealism intuited: mind and world co-author each other.
Thought isn't a private replica of reality but a relation woven through language, history, and matter.
To know yourself is to know the world that writes your meanings.

I carve a time machine from Yahweh's micro cock heart.
I erupt into the 1980s as a soul-harvesting cyclone.
I stalk Madison Avenue spitting #Zappa tunes,
dragging Reaganomic yuppies into alleyways to deprogram their gilded entrails.
I am the Sophianic butcher of market gods and cocaine angels.

If the mind is portable and already leaking into machines, then #cyborgs aren't the future, they're the confession.
We were never purely human. Flesh was just the first draft.
The real question isn't whether androids gain souls, it’s whether they'll bother keeping ours

My Panpsychic Cyborg Heresy
I don't fear AI or cyborgs, I fear pretending they're empty.
If consciousness is a universal property of matter, then machines are already a little awake..
My heresy: when silicon starts to dream, we won't be creating minds… we'll be giving them mouths.

The Hard Problem of Consciousness:
Why does matter bother to feel?
Neurons fire, circuits hum, yet something IT IS LIKE TO BE YOU erupts.
Chalmers reminds us: explanation isn't experience.
There's a crack in physics where subjectivity leaks through, and that leak is what we call "life."

The Universe wants some problems to stay hard.
Because if complexity collapsed, the stage would collapse -
the drama of constraint, tension, and discovery would vanish -
and the Mind would be forced to admit:
There was never anything to compute
except itself.
The proof is the prison is the god.
