How can anybody take a rest when they're working on a play?

Michael Nesmith, The Monkees, age 78
December 10, 2021

And now there's only one Monkee left.  They were formed to get in on the Beatles' success, and outsold the Beatles at the time.  They were a Hollywood construction with professional songwriters and hired faces to get with the younger generation.

What else was going on?  Frank Zappa appeared on their show at the start of his career and Jack Nicholson wrote the screenplay for their movie at the start of his.  Nicholson isn't known as a screenwriter but he did the Monkees???

I'm still trying to figure out what Hollywood is about even though it's an impossible task.  The industry is based on famous people which by its very nature makes the unfamous people completely ignorable and it's not like that means they don't exist or aren't relevant in their lives.  Maybe Jack Nicholson's a stupid idiot who's been following his big brother's orders all these decades and his older brother doesn't want to be known so Nicholson's biography doesn't include him.  Or Robert Deniro or that guy standing in the middle of that one crowd scene in a movie we've never seen.

This is obviously something I want to keep thinking about.

One thing that occurred to me today and isn't an innovative insight by any stretch of the imagination, life is about work.

The reason it stuck out for me was because of the immediate leftist reaction is that 'society' is so unfair and prevents people from working on what they want.  There's also the implication that they don't actually want to work which is why they spend so much time sitting around talking in groups and pretending that accomplishes anything.

But that's not what work actually is.  There's certainly a level where work sucks as badly as sitting around talking in groups but one actually achieves something and the other is a waste of time.  Doing work enhances one's ability and understanding and the time spent allows one to consider other opportunities, to advance at this work, to attempt the work one has always desired to do, what to spend the money on after work because you just do it to pay bills, all of that is relevant and not possible for people who don't want to work.

Oh but SKIN-COLOR is so important to those people.  And gender and sucking dick and destroying Israel and whatever's on their mind today.  It doesn't produce food, it doesn't transport supplies, it doesn't heal injury, it's just an excuse to sit around in groups.

I suspect it's the desire to be in charge of those groups that motivates them (along with laziness.)  Each of them wants to be in charge of the group who obeys whatever they say.  Sure, each of them has to obey whoever's actually in charge of the group but this is what their actual goal is.  And none of it has anything to do with work, except in coincidental relation to obedience.

Work is work.  Getting paid for it is better than not getting paid but making money for the work isn't as important spiritually as the willingness and ability to work.  It's also the best way to use time and this is quite possibly what defines us as individuals.

All this time spent on something that was obviously fake, they could spend the same amount of time explaining to their audience how stupid they were to fall for something so obviously fake.

Their cooks and maids and carpenters and gardeners already know what it's like in this hell.  The rich people right there are the next targets.

Los Angeles has about 10 million people and only about 10 thousand cops but these rich leftist idiots want to shut down the cops.  And NOW there's suddenly a problem?  It's this sort of thing that keeps me asking 'how did we get to this?'
