I just opened up 2666 on scribd this morning after reading this article and I’ve been hooked every spare second of the day since. About 120 pages in so far.
Thank you for the introduction and also for the deeply disturbing article that I am in denial about for the sake of my mental health!
i've been thinking about what curtis wrote the elves core motivation is: "to live a beautiful life."
i do not understand this instinct, as i prefer to grill. but i couldnt help thinking that this was a hint to what the elites are up to; what's driving them. they're so bored that they decide living is art, and then need access to every kind of paint, even the rarest, most exquisite paint made from the hardest to get materials. so they go to extremes for the sake of their art, which is the same as their lives.
but this is pretty much the definition of evil, because, as anyone who has even toyed with depravity knows, there is no satisfying these urges no matter how you justify them, as art or otherwise. the more you indulge them, the worse the craving gets. there is no joy in extreme hedonism--in finding beautiful things and destroying them--there is only exhaustion and paranoia.
yeah this is real crazy sh*t and anyone with these weird instincts really needs to be reigned in by people who just like to drink and f**k normally.
Very low brow equivalent: Society, a 1989 horror movie which ends with some body shock (I only came across the movie yesterday and watched the ending). It’s probably based on some higher brow sci-if but the elites turn out to be an alien species (?) who dissolve into an orgiastic gooey mass and absorb humans in a gluttony/lust ritual.
