I have heard that some folks need organized religion, need the structure, whereas some (like myself) do not need or want that structure. For most, it's not evaluated, but immersed from birth. No choice involved. I feel it's the same case for leaders, for heroes....we tend to gravitate, to adulate, as a species. After 60 years, I realize I stand alone, and can only stand next to those who also stand alone. A mind is a terrible thing to paste.

If growing up with a physical disability one reads and observes your critical faculties do get sharper. I also studied Beckett...his sparse and parsing use of language. His control of direction and settings for staging his plays. His joining of the French resistance. Another writer who shows us a mirror to our theatre of the absurd ...is Gunther Grass, also a politician. Looking at reality checking what is said shows the true nature of things.

"The absurd in all of this politiking is we are the enemy. It is us. All of us are paying close attention to the theater. We like theater."

Yes, the US Political Theater is kayfabe. The wrestlers/players/actors seem to be in danger from each other, but it is only the audience that gets hurt.

I read Clif. I have read him for many years. I read him when he was scrying language for clues about the future. I go back and forth with him in my head. I might still be too skeptical as I was with his language work. I will look at the Video and let you know.

His take on the Greeks watching theater from different seats was the main point of his idea of the start of perspective.

Yes. However perspective was unused until the Renaissance. So in the Middle Ages the art of perspective was unused.
