i totally get it, but in replying to his horrible hypothesis (he wasn't really trying to analyze things, it was just an "example" of a possible situation, but it was so lively and detailed in its atrocity that it was easy to read like he was making claims instead of constructing a fictional scenario)-- it just perpetuates the original horror of his imagery and lends it further credence. it's like poking a rotten carcass with a stick just to have a million flies explode out of it! ha ha. best to just walk past it.
anyway-- friends, everyone? i don't believe magic wheel's intentions were bad-- just, like i said, his "example" was very (very!) poorly chosen and it sidetracked things.
IN ANY CASE
the book has so much more.
it's much more interesting i think how kim and her mentor (what was the name? i have the audio version so it's hard to look up names-- the one at otis college) would drive around LA doing aesthetic readings of the most commonplace objects and ordinary buildings-- no? i totally wanna do that now.
