    noting his agitation  When you’re up for it.

Ja

        Cant make this shit up

I’m sure stranger things have happened.

Ive had my share of strange but this   episode  takes the cake

                                                                   Crazynuts

It’s not too bad a black eye. If you were more conscious ‘bout it I’d bet you could touch it up with makeup, hide it.

No  Youre right 

                 Its not obvious

Actually  

           Accountability

You and being held accountable.

nodding  Ja This country   We need more of it

                                                                Im stallin

No hurry.

    At the zoo the gorilla the huge male

The one that came a year or so back, had been trained in signing.

Thas the one  Goliath

I’ve read a few articles about him.

                                     He’s a star.

He is

                                                             

So ya know how when I talk my hands go                                                            

Yeah. Doing it now.

he looked down at them Im not even aware

                                              I am

You are.

Ja

        I went to the zoo to see Goliath

You’ve been learning to sign?  chuckled

No hellno scarcely an eyeroll but an eyeroll nonetheless

                                                               Ive been told hes a specimen Something to behold

Hes maintained in a barless enclave  a moat between visitors an him

    Hes amazing

I’ve heard tell.

Ya got go

                     We made eye contact

He came to the edge of the moat directly across from me

I called him by his name

He grunted when I did

                         

Obviously understanding his name is Goliath.

Obviously

             There werent but  fourfive people around

They werent invested

    So I began talkin to him

What did you talk to him about?

His caretakerslashtrainerslashsigner Steve

                                             I asked if Steve was takin good care of him

He did that knucklerock forward gorillas do

I took tha tha he agreed

Sounds reasonable.

I thought we connected

                             He certainly seemed involvedcant remember all tha came out of my mouth

Hands going I suppose. When animated your hands keep up.

I suppose they do

No suppose they do.

Awright  No supposing

As our conversation interaction continued he became increasingly animated

                                                                                      And at some point

I must have crossed him

Crossed him?

No longer animated  Agitated

How so?

Because he was at the edge of the moat he couldnt rush me as we understand they do

Bluffs.

Sometimes

              Obviously because of his confines he cant

Had no idea why

Really really irritated

 

 

    Motherfucker

Picks up a desiccated turd

Not small by any means

AnIm tellin ya

Lefthanded

Hurled it  Artfully    At me

Ann-Margret  from Tommy  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA6ToyLNfnQ

tumbled out of her mouth  . . . age of addiction

he sat boltupright

                  growled  Fuuck   Right on

if she wasnt on television hed have kissed her

the conversation was in regards to smartphonesto the horseshit he learned about years ago when he worked for a telecommunications company and realised where the industry wanted to go

he had been a paperback science fiction freak his parents wouldnt allow that into their house not his and theirs  theirs HEY! I’m reading. Isn’t that what’s important?  the scifi he read titillated him the industrys spewing at first titillated himTHEN realised their designs werent fiction

                                                                             and government wasnt interested in heeling them

his brain asking Can you say . . unregulated?

Fuck you brain.

Greedy human beings. You’ll be the death of you yet.

he hadnt a legitimate argument to defray his accusation

 

    . . . age of addiction

                          adults cant put their devises down

why would their children who took what their parents gave them

                                                                      ostensibly

reasoning

            It’s for my children’s protection.

its kindalike a loaded handgun

pointing it at themselves at others spastic fingers at triggers

We’re having dinner. Put the phone down, put it away.

Put yours down first.

too much effort

supper is had in quiet only chewing clatter of utensils on platesscrapes sips of drinks  thuds of fingertips bumping keys swiping

 

he got into a Time Machine

rocketed back to his parents kitchen table for supper

Put that away.

No.

he had to laugh

                 he wondered which of his parents would have clobbered him firsttheyd both be up on their feet

young  agile

                Spare the rod spoil the child

if they killed him the Law would be on their side 

                                           He said what?

That’s exactly what it is.

Neurodivergence

    Really   Again

catty  moments like this he should have been a broadfew women are broads

                                                                                    If the shoe fits, wear it.

fuckin broad If youve a laceup size Ten tan pair of solipsist shoes

                                                                    Please

Ya understand  a trope a tired retreaded tire  You know its on a scale on the spectrumyet  you insist tryin to use it as a cudgel   Without an audience  It falls flat

No. It bugs you.

    Bugs

Time for glasses  Have ya had your eyes checked recently

                                                               Been to a physician haveem peer up your assfind whas caught in it

Bugs you.

Tell me again  Wha a solipsist is

This is tiresom . .

. . brusque Then quit bringin it up

Toldya it bugs ya.

                     Someone, you, who discounts what others say and only believes what they think. Cognito, ergo sum I . I think . . therefore I am.

Descartes  Maybe the insultan it surely is  youre lookin for  is narcissism    Narcissist

No. Solipsist. I like how it gets under your skin.

    One of Eighteenth Century preoccupations was virtue  Can we agree

I have no fucking idea.

Of course you don

                    An I woudnt either if I hadnt been reading this  Crowded With Genius  Its about the Scottish Enlightenment

A distraction?

 

Virtue was

What’s your point?

Thomas Hobbes believed  notoriously  tha man was entirely selfish

                                                                         London wits argued that actions not motivated by self-interest were contrary to human nature  See this scrap of paper  Its keeping page seventy

The London wits quotes there

Motivated by self-interest

Solipsism scaled

                   Only thing a person can be truly sure of it the existence of their own thoughts consciousness

Whas to bug me

Proves my point

Youll need a sharper knife to get through my leathered greaved hide

looked like broad was getting ready to blow

                                      Nother thing about virtue  Francis Hutcheson  Irish philosopher of Scottish descent contemporary of Hume  David  you know  renown sceptic  critical thinker

                                                                                                     You know

I know.

Hutcheson believed virtue that needed reward was not worth rewardingin fact  self-satisfaction diminished it

What’s your point?

You  A solipsist tryin to turn a gun on another solipsist

                                                              Quit   Its unbecoming

No.  It bugs you.
