dither postprocessing shader go brrrr

its broken on my end https://psychicnewborn.neocities.org/0.png

fawq... i tried it on win/mac in brave browser. reproducible in FIREFOX for some reason... will try to figure it out.

dithering is pure aesthetic always

i fixed it... floating point precision maths were cooked

webkit also has this issue though it only has horizontal lines not the vertical ones

i messed up in a subtle way by essentially multiplying and dividing by the same FP number, which would sometimes result in a different FP number... a mistake that a scrub would make.

that eye room is going to give me nightmares

@limovars good, art should disturb the comfortable.

hard asf

+ added moodboard "mischief", added backup page (pls don't spam this), fixed broken links.

all your bandwidth are belong to us

Claymen have always existed and have always been the majority, but the difference in today's mirrored world is that the masses live as simulated royals and aristocrats. Instead of claymen of the past busying themselves with farming, fishing, commerce, religion, they busy themselves with politics, ideology and short term fashionable movements and trends, just like the few elites of the past had the privilege of.

Fuelled by their genuine empty lives devoid of risk and real meaning. There's a well known phenomena of the bourgeoisie to larp as poor and struggling people, they sparked the early socialist revolutions in France during the french revolution, on the other side you had the "Hameau de la Reine" by Marie Antoinette.

I believe in our modern lives we also struggle with this emptiness of meaning, and we see these same pattern emerge in a large unstoppable scale, where the delusions of the past elites is now the norm for every clay man and woman. It's a symptom of emptiness and meaninglessness and is extremely self-destructive.

The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

The aristocrats of the old and the modern mass claymen of today share so many virtues: Jumping on retarded trends in fashion. Obsession with appearances and status. Extravagant consumption and waste. Gets involved in politics. Extreme virtue signalling. Is extremely narrow minded and self-centered.

Think they know everything (smug) and look down upon the uneducated but at the same time: Feels like they are the saviour and a spokesperson of the poor. Fragility and decadence.

I feel the general indifference I perceive in people as a result of their connections to the real world decreasing. Even a simple poor and uneducated farmer/peasant could rise up and realize the state he is in. The connection to family, religion, individual culture, and the world outside of the metropolis are all rapidly eroding and those who attempt to defend what is being lost are mocked & ignored.

This is shown as well in the reluctance on both sides to even advocate for the (idea) of violent means, as if any lasting revolution has used non-violence and worked. Most claymen refuse to believe that we are in such a state of spiritual warfare.

The victors rot in perfect comfort. To add to @fauux, in previous cycles of history, decadence overtook the aristocratic and disconnected them from reality, hedonism became 'art' and they blindly decayed (mold era). This is the first time in history where the class of elites has grown so large it has become disconnected from itself, a fracture into subclasses, as it were.

We may be deeply tamed, but we are still an aristocracy by warped definition. A king of old would envy our luxuries. We work abstractly, our creations have little to do with the Earth we stand on. Because of this, the decay is, and shall continue to be, widespread. There is a fractalline mockery of castes within this, however, with self-indulgent rot at each level. One man controls another, and so on…

As to say, there is no longer a single class of decadent decayers, but a crude form of hierarchy for every group.

Often being clay is about cowardice, risking stagnation for invulnerability to mold. One can live a great life without ‘meaning,’ but one cannot live well without ‘purpose.’ I am here because one day I woke up, I will continue to be here because I’d like to see what happens next.

I keep reading your articles and thinking "this guy just doesn't miss". Great Terry Davis quote by the way.

The whole website has a clear, crisp design language, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the spergouts a big boost.

Jesus. This is really super. How'd a nitwit like you get so tasteful?

hell world

have u written anything about barriers to collective action/aid networks?

yeah, none of them have changed a thing, they'd have been better off sitting on their asses at home. i can't actually say what would change things, as in that would not be legal.

what do you think the new default religion should be

i don't know, but it should involve ingesting massive amounts of psychoactive substances as a sacred rite.

i can't tell if you're being legit or trying to be funny but either way i'm with you on that one. let's all get high

i'm in

down my mom can drive us if yours can pick us up

Good stuff. I'm curious what apocalyptic events you have in mind. The most likely in my opinion is peak oil, i.e. reaching a state where the oil reserves still present are infeasible to mine. Considering how much the world depends on it for transportation alone it would be disastrous in my opinion. I'm not talking about climate here, only logistics problems. Also, funny how zersetzung is basically gangstalking.

Contemplations such as these have slowly been itching away at the surface of my being for some time now. The indifference with which we have been nearly genetically altered to feel is a final result of the perfect oppression designed with mass media, surveillance, deconstructionism etc. Our lack of will to change this is only a continuing worship of the system as put in Industrial Society and Its Consequences.

The most damning piece of the modern human experience is dependancy upon these systems and defence of them. Whichever old remnants of American Revolutionist thinking has nearly died off entirely due the construct of trust in democracy and other systems of leadership/roles in society. The shadows spread across the city with an inestimable reach. Our long road of blind sacrifice.

*Industrial Society and Its Future

The greatest psyop of this century was convincing us that we already lost.

The closest you can have to escape from the Modern Leviathan (within this generation) would be parallel communities, akin to the ones in South Africa. The tendrils of the Committee reach everywhere, so no one particular country is safe, but it's more likely you would get a Waco scenario if you tried doing this in the West. Failing Waco-ification, you will get infiltrators, or infiltrating memes to destroy the psyche.

It certainly is looking hopeless, but appearances can be deceiving, especially if engineered to be so.

Both this writing and many of these comments inspire hope. The number of people who can clearly see the problems and are sincerely trying to address them with compassion for others is increasing. The Leviathan is sustained by inertia. It will eventually topple under its own weight. I shall be engaged in behaviors as constructive as I can possibly muster within the meantime.

A tangent on the cult of the self: i always find it kind of repulsive when an interviewer inevitably asks an artist “as an [x person], how does your art express your unique experience?” Why is art always reduced to mere self expression? Does anyone sign their music SOLI DEO GLORIA and truly mean it? It’s not necessarily the artist’s fault, the very system in which art is now experienced is glory to something else
