How long do you think it is going to be, by which time expert neurologists will nicely explain to all those corrupt politicians around the world, who have been held in the thrall of the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew - much like Akhenaten in his day too - that Mr Lee had a condition in which he had a severe impairment of some of the functions of his front temporal lobes.
And I do not need to go into various medical terminologies using the Greek words (I am part-Greek) 'Myotonic' or 'Dystrophia' or anything like that, because I am not a modern Western doctor or neurologist, and suggest that the reason Mr Lee had to be propped up by people 'hiding' behind him in later years, when photographs were being taken, was due to the well-known symptomatic on-set of limb rigor when such conditions are advanced - rather than simply 'old age.'
Front lobe deficiencies, are characterized by a complete lack of empathy for others and for a self-opinionated attitude and over-confidence and a domineering stance in social environments and inter-personal discussions.
Generally speaking this thing has obvious bases for diagnosis because it runs down the family line - 'co-incidentally,' there IS a child of Lee who has this type of condition as it happens but naturally, this may not be explained by the usual, traditional normal means. Naturally not, for everything is different and an exception in the case of Akhenaten, sorry, Lee Kuan Yew.
But there can be no doubt, that every now and then, you get someone whose brain structure has
or can overcome the speech issues that often attend front lobe deficiencies - and further, you will get, every now and then albeit relatively rarely it must be said, someone whose calculating capabilities are very prodigious and who can pass themselves off thereby as, intelligent.
We do not need to slander alien civilizations with this foolish notion abroad on the internet and elsewhere, about how aliens have turned up and taken over things and built a lot of sizable
structures and buildings in the guise of a 'pharaoh' or a dictator, sorry, 'democratically elected tyrant.'
As they did in the past though, we must expect a lot of the ordinary population to bow down to
Akhenaten - and to keep doing so at least for a few years to come, before they come to their senses.
No pics. It didn't happen like I said. Did it.

Let's Go Out
Big three-storey mansion... At night with crystal chandelier lights on, glowing through the large traditional four-pane heavy-framed windows throwing warm golden and yellow beams into the lush, now night-time dark, old wooded deep green gardens; thick velvet drapes drawn in some rooms. Many people, all dressed in very sophisticated and glamorous evening-wear. Scary adult people. ...Be strong. It's just sex.
How do you like to get there?
And in the end, everything becomes really clear. With all the deep underlined bass rhythms accentuated:
How do you like to get there?
What do you like to have there?
Don't get your feathers ruffled...

Le Corbusier Extended
Even I am stopped in my tracks, if relatively briefly, by the present insanity of the press.
Never mind, there is nothing of value to be said about them, and there are people around the place about to cut the oxygen from them.
Let us look again at the previous post regarding the political thinking behind the architecture of Le Corbusier - namely, the proposition that (his idea of) an Industrial Age needed people to be units of production, stacked together like something to fit into shoe-boxes, and then stuck onto fast moving transport systems to rapidly get them to their places of active slavery.
Take a look at Singapore. This is the ultimate upside of Le Corbusier.
You even have today, a high-rise building there of the usual crass steel frame design, with visually open-to-the-outside glass windows as walls, and in which 'luxury cars' are stacked as if the whole thing is a dispenser of 'luxury vehicles.' And that's what it's meant to be.
So do we consider the possibility that these ridiculous ideas have seeped their way into other areas of human endeavor - let's say, to attire, fashion, even food? Well, certainly, of course they have.
So would you be able to tell the difference between a classic old building designed for human habitation and normal society, and the meaningless drivel that is passed off as architecture for today's city buildings? Certainly you would.
And would you be able to tell the difference between the signature style of a dish invented by Auguste Escoffier, and some nonsense vended as contemporary food?
And have you ever observed that for many a good long year now, fashion and designing for fashion has completely lost touch with any insinuations of actual, real sex...
We must explore these themes more...

A little further north and you have Penang, which has managed to retain and maintain authenticity about itself |

Preparing For The Future
A few days ago, Paul Joseph Watson, the YouTube new media journalist, put together an excellent piece which he posted to YouTube called ' Why Modern Architecture Sucks.'
I rarely refer to actual YouTube videos so when I do, it would tend to mean that particular one is something special - and it is, this one from PJW.
Taking a step back from the glittering, fizzy delight that this short video is, I can say that Watson is overdoing things more than just a bit - even though the fundamental points he makes about the suppressing nature of post-industrial 'gigant-ism' and 'industrial efficiency' brutalism in architecture are very sound. If we just jump up on his bandwagon it's satisfying to be accusatory and more or less, a 'conspiracy theorist' about modern architecture. But if we want to really understand things, then it is crucially important to realize that not all the mistakes started out from the beginning as conspiracies to suppress the 'ordinary' people and turn them into compliant slaves. Many architects had very romantic and positive conceptions about industrialism - but these ideas and ideals were completely subverted and the power of architectural design exploited through its philosophical points of vulnerability, for political ends. And only thus can we say that eventually, yes, there is a systemic fascist control mentality at work in modern design and building design.
It's not about (just) being fair to history and to the architects themselves - it's about understanding how the human race operates, how its own group psychology quickly alters and removes real human motivations and supplants them with specious justifications that cover over the crimes of idea theft and financial corruption that feeds off public building programs.
Some people used Le Corbusier - and he might not have been wise enough to pull his ego back from being tricked and his 'soul' (the energy and life of his work and ideas) manipulated for material gain by those people.
The sci-fi futurism of Le Corbusier was attractive - and easily attracted victims to itself to be slaughtered by the exploiting interests whose only objective was the theft of easy tax-payer dollars.
Sci-fi futurism is not in its own right a problematic thing; far from it. How it was appropriated by money interests running government and councils and politics is the problem.
Paul Joseph Watson, as a new media video journalist/YT blogger, must take advantage of the opportunity that news coverage of the recent massive (Grenfell Tower) building fire provides to his platform - and so it's understandable that he would be reactive to the tragic incident.
But really, if you intend to be of use to people, then you can't always just be 'reactive,' and you must place an importance on leading, trying, implementing the entirely innovative, from scratch, being prompted by positive creation and creativity, and not just reactive knee-jerking.
We talk a lot about architecture and design here - and always have done. The reality is we've talked about these things long before any tragic disaster had to take place to force our focus.
PJW will get a large audience and I will get almost no audience at all.
But I will tell you what to do now for the problem that hasn't been foretold yet, and how to avoid future disasters that will happen but that no one or at least not many, foresee right now.
In the meantime, we can note Watson's excellent piece of journalism:

Having Things, or Knowing Things?
Well, you want a combination of both, with the bias towards the 'knowing things.'
You could have a lot of (material) things but suffer from the abject poverty of not knowing what it is that you are holding between your hands.
So I'm going to embark on an essay that is possibly of more interest to the females of the world than the males here.
Like the ice cream sundaes of which we spoke in the last missive, there are those who have walked past the windows and have seen the tall frosty glasses on the other side (of the Drake or the Algonquin or the Knickerbocker) from not five feet away - and those also who see beautiful women and how they dress - but who never have been inside the boudoirs of the truly glamorous; nor who have been at table service a la russe.
You see even if you are undertaking what you think is the highest level surveillance against someone, you may be 'seeing' them, but you may be doing it through the glass windows walking by... You 'saw' it all. Didn't you?
I'm going to tell you women out there who are as of yet, not aware, how to dress glamorously - and I'm going to tell you, as it were, as if I were 'a Watcher' so to speak; oh yes, even one of those that the SecureTeam10 kids want to call 'Fallen Angels' (LOL) as in that these characters apparently, according to the internet ubiquitous 'Book of Enoch,' gave out tips to early Earthling women about make-up and mascara.
So I'm going to tell you something along the lines of the same ideas as pertain to the genuine, albeit these days mythic 'Knickerbocker' and 'Merry Widow' ice cream sundaes.
On the outside it looks like one thing - of course it looks great - but when you place your spoon into it and take it to your lips it's quite another thing again.
My impression is these chefs and great gastronomic creators knew things - and when they had to create and serve dishes to very wealthy people who had things but did not necessarily know things, they had the common sense to provide their paymasters with an education about culture.
In fact culture itself is an education.
All of these ice cream sundaes relate to some Gilbert and Sullivan theatre. You didn't know that did you...
And that's how you wear cocktail rings, you see |
Specifically to the libretto of a two-act comic opera called 'the Sorcerer.' This story is the usual one about people trying to fall in love or desiring to make someone else fall in love with them - and seeking a magical potion in order to effect the responses they want to have happen.
So the sorcerer they find, makes a concoction which has that effect, or has that power.
This is all happening around 1876. Along comes Franz Lehar and his librettist Viktor Leon in 1905, and they write and compose 'The Merry Widow.'
So you see, for one thing, The Merry Widow comes first. Before, that is, the Knickerbocker.
And both of them come from a Central European mentality and culture and from Swiss or Austrian more likely, chefs.
A master chef at an hotel in New York creates 'The Merry Widow.' The opera is played first in the US in New York in 1907 and has opened two years earlier in London. And so, by a process of amateur and highly questionable deduction, my suggestion would be that the dessert is made for John Jacob Astor - who died on the Titanic. He was, at the time, thought to be one of the richest people in the world, a multi-billionaire by today's terms.
Astor, who crossed the Atlantic often, took with him the most prominent European chefs of the day, and installed them in his New York hotel - The Knickerbocker.
Powder snow everywhere - I could do a 'Knickerbocker snow-storm' in New York City, but I like this pic better. It's the same idea: thigh-deep snow and a warm light ahead... |
...Now at this point, you gotta understand something here - what you're being told is worth a small fortune because you will hear it from nobody else you know and there isn't that many people in the world who know it anyway in the first place. (Even though you might not 'get' the 'secrets' although you are reading them and they are right here). In the second place - well, do you know any billionaires from the Astor social circle? You know me, at least, from this Blog. Now I have cousins from Europe whose surname means in English, something like 'three leaves of a rose flower...' Well anyway, one thing and another, they retired away from Europe during the Second World War gigantically wealthy from the fur industry. And it's possible they made some of that wealth supplying one side or another in the war with fur products. To cut it short, there are parts of their ethnic circles who never speak to them. If you get what I'm saying.
Anyway, let's move on. I have personal knowledge of the Astor Family.
Now, so. This Viennese or border Italian or something, chef, makes this concoction that is designed to twist the eater's mind into a state of la Grande Amour. And he makes this on account of the libretto of 'The Merry Widow' which itself has come from Gilbert and Sullivan's The Sorcerer. The Merry Widow concoction contains a magical potion. And I will describe it, at least in some significant part.
And then in a great inspiration of genius, he makes another dish, which is not the anti-hypothesis, but rather, the outcome of the magical idea - and it, in an act of pure fate and destiny, is called: THE KNICKERBOCKER. ('Glory' at least); The Knickerbocker GLORY.
And this is an amazing combination of actual events, weather, visuals, sensation, colour, in every sense as much as the actual dish itself is a created thing, it is also something that mysteriously parallels real life. A Knickerbocker snowfall, is what happens in New York when powder snow falls and you have to wear boots up to your thighs to be able to get through, and then you can get warm inside the actual Knickerbocker Hotel...!
So the magical potion is in the Merry Widow, and the magical object is the Knickerbocker.
Now unlike today when people are stupid and uneducated, in those day what I am saying is not outside the norm of social ideas at all, especially not in these circles.
There is no question that The Merry Widow contains alcohol - at minimum this is obvious in the Maraschino cherry at the top. In England this dessert has a mint leaf garnish at the top too, in the US (in earlier times) this was creme de menthe liquor. There is no 'green cherries' or fake 'green' stuff as there may be in the counterfeits made in tacky contemporary places now - this green item is angelica soaked in absinthe and snow-covered with tiny sugar crystals.
There are layers of ice cream, real cream atop, and beneath crushed ice with alcoholic syrups and warm, real authentic butterscotch.
It is not peanuts that are crushed and sprinkled as has become common practice today, but warm or even rather hot cashew nuts in caramel and river salt.
I shall keep a few of the other ingredients back for the present. And matters to do with the construction of the whole thing.
But you have quite a bit as it is.
So let's move onto the subject of dressing for glamour and sex.
Here I speak with the tongue of the Egregoroi - unless you use your mind and you know what you are doing, you are not sexually attractive in any unique way that would place you at an advantage over anyone else...
You must dress, like the way the concoction is made... And how it is constructed...
Now as for Astor, a short word in passing: he wrote a science fiction novel called 'A Journey in Other Worlds' - and a very very great, and strange book it is.
