Ineffable Ontological Detanglement > Learned Behaviour

To most of you it is an ego reinforcement game. The learned behaviour is learning how to reinforce your ego. A lot of people's cool image is based entirely around "MAH daddy nevea' touched mah PENIS."

Society's conception of cool is to be noted, acknowledged and then rejected. Actual coolness is a person who expresses a unique coolness. Actual coolness is highly influenced by society's conception of coolness. I'm not talking about people who are cool but are not, you know, cool. Those people are perfectly cool. Those people say and do really cool things, proper cool people always like those cool people, proper cool people don't give a shit about whether or not these people fit into, you know, cool.

I'm not just saying this to maintain my credibility, but things are changing and as an adult if you did cool properly you don't need to abandon your cool you simply need to evolve your cool. You can still pull off what you were in your early twenties onward until retirement age at this stage in our development, so long as you evolve it properly. It isn't the way it was in the past, people from the past are going to tell you you're ridiculous for not becoming societal standard dad, but, those people will all be dead soon.

If you didn't find it with psychedelics between age sixteen and twenty one it probably isn't really proper cool, but, it may still work. You have to find all of the things you know you've always wanted to be because you know they are what you feel you should be, these are the aspects of cool that resonate with you and therefor you know they are to become you. You of course take from society's conception of cool, society's conception of cool is often cool for a reason. Sometimes not so much, but generally those things do not remain timeless. You know this is what you want to be, you know it fits into the system it will be acknowledged, you can't wait for this acknowledgement. However you're not trying to mirror the system and present it. If you're trying to mirror the system and present it, it is not an embodied cool, inside you are still a frightened whimpering child hoping everybody knows you're cool. You're looking at the system and seeing how you fit within it.

Does it feel dramatically out of place? Something far off out of this world new cool? Does it feel like the up-flipped caesar nine year old Kit Carruthers? Then it will not be timeless.

You understand... You're after the image you're not after the image. You're after the being, and the being is the image. You're not striving to be accepted, you're striving to be cool and knowing this means you will be accepted however it will be a more complicated accepted than you may have thought back when you thought what you were supposed to do was mirror the system and everybody likes you. If you never saw any possibility but mirroring the system, you never even clued into the idea that what you are building is a you, you never realized what you should want to be is a you, I'm afraid you suffer from being American.

If you're taking this incredibly serious this is serious business I am creating a very serious image and this is my most important work, you're going to create a bad image. It's one of your most important works, that much is true. However you need to be capable of going into this seeing every angle of making fun of yourself and knowing that any way you could ever make fun of me would never hurt me I can make fun of myself in the same way. You're not developing your counters, you're not figuring out how to counter all making fun of you, you're figuring out you like being the you that can be made fun of in this manner. If this isn't how you're doing it, you haven't completed introspection. Ego tear down comes before image build.

If you didn't do it and now you're thirty, well, I'm afraid it's too late for you. You can still find something pretty damn cool, but, you can't go backwards and turn into evolved teenager like us. You're passed that, you have to refine from the point at which you remain. If you're a thirty year old who needed to be told this you need to go back to the top of the side bar and start again. However if you did the non-psychedelic observe the system and mirror the system, if you have been maintaining it properly up until this point you can recover, you can become the embodied cool, you can become a unique expression of cool rather than a blank expression of cool.

There is a bit of emulation, however the emulation is meant to be more of a subtle influence that has become you your entire childhood up until the point you realize you can become cool. "I want to be just like a single person" means you are about to fail entirely at being cool. The influence must come from, like, at least three or four people, it has to only be like 30% at most of these people's personality and it has to be something you know you are capable of and know you actually really want to the point that you know it is to be you. After this base, well, hopefully long before this base, somewhere in and around this base, well over 50% of it needs to be your own creativity. I don't advise emulating me, not overly too much, less than 10% emulation of me, you can't pull it off.

Hey you know how you can really be seen as cool in public? Flatten out all desire to be seen as cool to the absolute literal. Now you don't know their faces, you don't know their voices, but you know quite a few people saw you be cool.
