A funny thing happened on the way to Wallace Stevens' later poetry

I don't know, do know, why you bother mentioning Donald Trump at the end of your post.

The two-party system in the United States has this prefabricated ability to use nonentities as massively important figures in the reality of the world.
They would? become less important as the maturity of multimedia world relations go on.


That they have the decision-making power that they have is the things everyone should be looking at.
There is no kayfabe: that they're putting on a show, but they're really smarter, things going on.

The political system of all Earth nations is an extension of Royalty which was an extension of Religion.  

Religion was out there, Royalty was stupid, Politics is an illusion of leadership. It's not leadership.


To criticize Donald Trump is the same as to criticize The Situation from The Jersey Shore.

These people have nothing to do with anything that's going on in the Cause and Effect Experience. They are Tricks in the Symbol System of Awareness.


This is Documentary Culture. This is the Bible. People are expected to be Artists, Poets, Makers. And they base their best materials on this stuff.

They allow the Cause and Effect Experience that they see as Reality to have to do with these people. They give these people Symbolic Systematic status.

Public Figures are masts. That's a new social-cultural word/concept I've invented to be used in this sense.


These masts are big energetic receivers. We put our energy into these masts, and not into real human issues.


The news spends all day and night informing us about these masts. As though concerning ourselves with these masts is something.
Really, we're giving all our emotional and intellectual energy to icons and idols no more, no, less important, than the djinn we got over worshipping centuries ago.


You can say that me concerning myself with poems and jokes is just as bad. But is it?
