To say Taiju was thrilled when you shot him a text, requesting him to go shopping with you, would be an understatement.

He was absolutely delighted.

You rarely ever spent time with him lately, always busy and caught up in your own life, but he still appreciated those days you chose to spend with him, even if it is to irritate him as a reminder why he has to practice breathing exercises and go to anger management classes.

Or try to convince him Jesus was reincarnated in the form of Lenin with a 38 slideshow PowerPoint.

“Tai, over here, dumbass!” You yelled from a swing set in front of the mall, alerting him to your presence.

He would have scowled at your childish antics if he were younger, but he has long since grown used to your bullshit, so he merely walked over with his usual resting bitch face.

“Okay, so,” You started, hopping off the swing set, dusting yourself off, “I need your help.”

Taiju raised a sceptical eyebrow.

“So Valentine’s is coming up and-“

Taiju tuned you out, and made a quick mental note to pray for your already damned soul.

“And I really don’t know, so can you help?”

“Sorry, what?”

“Were you thinking about sky papi again?”

“Don’t call him that, I beg of you.”

“Keep begging and I’ll think about it.”

“I won’t pay your tuition anymore.”

“Now hold up-“

“What is she doing?” Senju muttered, her hair under a cap with sunglasses and a fake mustache covering her face as he stares at you from the store opposite the jewelry shop, hiding in between clothing racks.

“Cheating.” Sanzu muttered next to her, hiding his totally unnoticeable hair underneath a wig, hiding his face and scars with a surgical mask.

“You two are insane.” Kakucho mumbled, who has a bucket hat and unibrow forcefully drawn on his face.

The three of them were absolutely the most suspicious people in the damn store.

“I don’t like the way she is dragging that guy around.” Sanzu narrowed his eyes, peeking above the clothing rack to see better.

You dragged Taiju away, out of their sight, and Senju quickly put away the dress she pretended to look at, gesticulating at Sanzu they have to move***.

Sanzu nodded, and on cue, pulled Kakucho along.

Kakucho merely sighed.

He really didn’t think you were cheating, Takeomi and you weren’t even fucking dating, and Kakucho was damn well aware how disgustingly in love with Takeomi you were, he saw it every time he was forced to witness your overly affectionate actions towards the older man at meetings.

And the fact you called Kakucho a minimum of 3 times a week to just talk about ‘Takeomi this, Takeomi that’.

While his own love life was suffering.

Ugh.

“They’re entering a jewelry store.” Senju noted, quickly turning to Sanzu and Kakucho, “Let’s split up so we cover more ground. Sanzu, go in this store, I’ll go in this one, and Kakucho, sit on a bench and pretend to be on your phone.”

Kakucho would have said no, but something told him that was in fact, not a damn option.

The 9th circle of hell had nothing on his life.

“Do you think your partner would prefer a watch or a bracelet? Maybe a necklace? Or a ring? The jeweler suggested, showing you multiple pieces of way too shiny rocks and metal that probably cost half a year of your rent.

Luckily, you saved up quite a bit of money Takeomi gave you, and sold some things he bought you that you determined to be not your style, plus put aside the money Taiju paid you for your work with his restaurant, so you could afford it.

Probably.

Hopefully.

You helplessly looked up at Taiju, trying to ask him for advice, but he merely shrugged, shaking his head.

Useless, I tell you.

Useless.

You smile a tight-lipped smile at the jeweler.

“Sorry, may I take a second to ask my partner’s sister?”

The jeweler smiled politely.

“Naturally, ma’am.”

You needed the gift to be perfect.

After a couple of lengthy conversations with Mitsuya and Hakkai, you decided to finally grow some balls and ask Takeomi out, for real, for a real cutesy cheesy date.

What’s the worst that can happen?

MemoToTheMetaverse 2.4 “Gaia Says to Jeff, Let’s Take the Black Keys Car Service!”

Gaia, our hero, the story’s 16-year-old tomboyish female protagonist, walks around in a magnificent green, blue, and white bathrobe. Her long darkreddishbrown hair is dripping wet. Gaia is the planet Earth in human form, and has always been entirely awake, or aware of this fact. She’s recently emerged from the family “scuttlebutt,” a solar-powered steam room of sorts off the side of the family’s entirely ordinary first-floor Highland Park, NJ, apartment. She speaks into a hairbrush: 

Gaia: So glad to be here with Dan and Patrick of the Black Keys. Guys! Good morning! What brought you to The Orchard on this leg of the current intergalactic tour?

[Dan Auerbach--the lily-white reformed stoner father / lead singer of the indie blues rock duo from Akron known throughout the universe and beyond as The Black Keys--is a large Bert from Sesame Street doll.] 

Dan: Ummmmm. Gee. Let’s see. Well, I guess we figured we were in the neighborhood, you know, New York is kind of a thing...Hey, um, Do you guys have any coffee here? I could also really use a bagel. Like, with cream cheese, yeah? Thanks. Okay, yeah.

Patrick, a narwhal hand puppet and the drummer in the band, wears hipster glasses and grunts somewhat rhythmically: Me too. Please. Thanks. Whatever.

Gaia (turns towards the kitchen and yells): Daddy! Do we have any bagels left?

[Jeff is Gaia’s 39-year-old father, who has sole custody but, as any parent must no, very little immediate control over his daughter. He’s actually a young Bengal tiger in disguise as a human and also the Master Creator/Destroyer of All.

Jeff: Yeah, hold on. Do they want everything like usual?

Patrick the narwhal begins gnawing on the top of Bert’s head while gently spanking it from below with its tail, and grunts: “Sure thing, boss.”

Dan is distracted by Gaia’s proverbial “décolletage.” It must be said that Gaia is a beautiful, buxom, and rather rambunctious young woman, and has been for a few years now something of a man-eater. More problematically, she’s been neglected by her boyfriend/cousin-in-law, Amateratsu, the local mediocre neighborhood son, thanks to the way she’s been done dirty and wrong by life--HER LIFE, yes, but still--in recent times.

Dan: Thanks so much Jeff, that’s great. Gaia’s taking good care of us in here.

Jeff: She’s a fantastic hostess. You should check out her bedroom! It’s kind of a mess...Gaia, do you think you could maybe try sweeping some day? 

Gaia (returning to her interview): Dan, Patrick, do you ever wish a great wind would come along and wash away all the beer cans and bottles? I mean, like, take Akron....maybe all the rubber tires and factories and stuff should be...

Dan: Burned?

Patrick the narwhal has heard this story so many times already. He continues drumming on his lap, staring rather obtusely at Gaia’s round ass as she busily picks up last night’s detritus. He doesn’t mind getting interviewed today because he owes his ex-wife so much in arrears for child support that he’s willing to put up with Bert’s narcissism for yet another day.

Gaia: I was thinking, wouldn’t it be nice if Brian Wilson and the rest of the Beach Boys could just bury the hatchet and do, like, a benefit for the environment or something? Like, what is it going to take for some big shot celebrity musicians to actually get involved in American public life?

Dan: What we need, clearly, is the American version of Bono. Otherwise, Africa will become China and then we’re all fucked.

Gaia: Precisely. (prepares her hookah for the day’s first toke....Jeff doesn’t mind that Gaia is going through a phase in which she smokes as much cannabis as she wants when she’s at his house. She’s not always home from school, so he figures it’s a balanced approach to Creation/Destruction.)

Patrick: Do you think we could hit that?

Gaia (eyes smoldering): Butt of course, Monsieur Patrick. Et toi, Dan? Qu’en volez vous?

Dan: Did you just ask me where I’m flying next? 

Gaia: EH bien. Si vous voulez faire le countertransference avec moi, ca va couterez...(she lights up)

Jeff (buttering and cream-cheesing the bagels): Gaia, I’m serious! Your room!

Gaia (tucking her Bert and narwhal weiweis into her bed): I suggest we take the Black Keys Car Service to the eco preserve.

Jeff: Gaia, can you please explain to our guests what that will entail?

[Pollux and Castor emerge from the basement, all sparkly. They’re stars from an intergalactic talent competition known as Copernamici. As the head stars in the constellation Gemini, they are Amateratsu’s siblings, relatives of Jeff and Lucius. Pollux is slightly brighter and cheerier in general, whereas Castor has a beautiful, rich baritone voice.]

Castor: I was hoping we’d get to go to the preserve. There’s so little nature here in The Orchard, which is kind of ironic, don’t you think?

Pollux: Yeah, I was just thinking that it’s weird that there are signs all around this town, what is it called here Highland Park, that say things like “Tree City U.S.A.” and “No Hate Here.” They can’t even see us when they look up at night! Where exactly is the eco preserve, Gaia?

Gaia: Sore subject. Which is why I suggest taking the Black Keys Car Service! Daddy, you explain in a longwinded monologue which is not exactly a siloloquy but who cares because Shakespeare was SUCH a bitch...

Jeff (sets down the coffee at the C2 Center for Educational Brainwashing, where he is paid 27 dollars an hour to help privileged children improve their SAT scores): THE BLACK KEYS CAR SERVICE is one of the greatest ideas ever. It is the solution to the problem we face today aboard Spaceship Earth. (speaking into the ship’s PA system microphone) Humans! You have, since the dawn of the industrial revolution, been shitting in your own scuttlebutt! You have been, like cyborgswine, befouling your own trough. Your pollution--Ohio, we’re looking right at you...OH GEEZ, Cuyahoga was a great R.E.M. song about you burning rivers...where are you Michael Stipe when the galaxy needs you?--will no longer be tolerated. I have come here, people of Earth, to save Gaia. Only, the way it works is that Gaia doesn’t need salvation. Gaia, your planet Earth, will outlive all of you. Life will persist on this planet whether you want it to or not...at least for a little longer. The point here is that I am here to protect Gaia from all of you who have been either neglecting and violating her. (Hugs his daughter tightly.) The latter is worse than the former, but there are no innocent people in this world of ours, right Gaia?

Gaia (not a victim..a survivor): Correct.

Jeff (continues): Now. You, humans, will end this farce of an existence. You have serious environmental problems which you are not capable of fixing by yourselves. The first step in solving a problem is admitting that you have a problem. The Black Keys Car Service is the best way for you to admit you have a problem.

Jeff and Gaia step out to their electric car.

We’re not suggesting that you need to trash your entire civilization. No. That’d be impractical. You need to recycle it. You need to throw away a lot of stuff that’s bad. 

Amateratsu (offstage): I SUGGEST FEEDING ME!

Jeff: Let’s shoot a bunch of shit into the sun, like old junk that’s bad for Gaia. Let’s figure out a way to use nuclear and other technologies sustainably and responsibly. There are no such thing as “bad nukes,” just as there are no such things as “bad phones.” You have technology and you need to learn how to use it wisely. I say I’m wisdom unemployed. I don’t need to spend my time pretending to teach here at the C2 Center for Educational Polyamorous Cockblocking and Blueballing. It’s not very fun, rewarding, or productive for me. (Imagine that, John Lenin!) 

It’s not easy for you to accept that you’re a computer virus and that your existence is a threat to lots (not ALL) other life here on Earth. I get that! We have a suggestion...

Gaia (grabs the mic and screams as loudly as possible): Just send an ordinary unmarked car to Jeff’s house at 35 S. Fifth Avenue in Highland Park, NJ, 08904, U.S.A, Earth, Dimension 1(?)=1 / infinity. (Everyone knows my real address is one over infinity!) But make sure it’s like really smooth and cool...you know, like it should be the kind of car service that Dan and Patrick would use and then try to cash in on by selling out...like El Camino.   

But it can’t be an El Camino. It should be like a 2002 Ford or something. Not eco-friendly! It needs to be authentic and real, like Akron but WORSE. If I’m being violated, at least let Jeff on the Lester GangBangBus. You know what I mean? SO the one thing about The Black Keys Car Service is that it’s got to be both legitimate and correct. There will be no “Black Keys” cds or music or anything directly related to the Black Keys in the car, obviously. The music should be a delightful mixture of T. Bone Burnett classics, which is to say stuff that would sell at Starbucks and not offend Jeff. This is how Jeff learns! By doing human anthropology. We don’t hate your culture. We just have taste and need a little bit of respect, so like, no music referencing “niggers,” “bitches,” and other unsavory aspects of your filthy human world. I’m sorry, but there’s a difference between you listening to what you like in public and you exposing me and my Daddy and my friends  to your pollution. We need to be protected, like in an eco preserve! 

Jeff: What Gaia is trying to say is that I don’t ask for much. You’ve been caught with your hand in the cookie jar. That’s fine by me. I’m used to it. But now that you’ve been caught, you have to admit it. You have to admit what you’ve done and you have to do it soon by sending The Black Keys Car Service, which is recognizing me as someone valuable and worthy of dignity and respect, as well as adoration, of course. 

Send me a private car with a driver--let him be exactly like the dude who plays bass and also keyboards for the Shins, if not that guy himself!--who recognizes me as JustJeff and takes me where I want to go. For free (i.e. without charging me money or making me feel awkward). You know who I am, so stop pretending! Allow the driver to speak to me like a normal person. It will be great! And please let there be bagels with cream cheese and coffee in the car. Other than that, there’s nothing else for me to request. If you do that, i’ll know that we’re going somewhere together. 

If I’m going to save you, Gaia, it’s going to be on my terms, not theirs. We have a lot of work to do and must take practical steps. The Black Keys Car Service is the best way to get moving in the right direction.

Gaia (fidgeting with her phone): OMJ, I hate this phone! (throws it out the window and turns up the music, which I believe is some Dusty Springfield song, but we can’t be sure...)

An Evening with the Jordanites

‘Why do those feminists go on about the patriarchy?’ - This was an overheard conversation in a pub after an evening watching a documentary film called the ‘Rise of Jordan Peterson’ at the Camden Odeon. I went there out of respect for a friend who asked me to go and also on some level to break the spell around Peterson that the online world has created. Jordan Peterson was a little known Canadian psychology professor until 2016 when he made a series of controversial stands on trigger issues like transexual pronouns and the position of masculinity in 21st century society. These views launched him onto the global stage of public intellectuals. His notoriety has been sustained by both his fans and detractors.

I personally have always felt a queasiness about the man and until tonight I couldn’t place my distaste. It isn’t so much that he pursues a very unoriginal socially conservative agenda under the mask of intellectual rigour, or that he seems to confuse, the accommodation of the vulnerable into society with authoritarianism, or even that like many self-help gurus before him mistakes personal revelation with universal truth - in fact my principle objection is all about instinct. That instinct is located in his general demeanour. There something in the pinched humourlessness and barely repressed anger that has echoes of past intolerant voices. His annoyance has two forms: his coquettish piques and then his more eruptive rants that seem to come from deep personal animus rather than considered analysis.

It’s always hard going to watch something with the fan boys because the audience is not there with open minds to the spectacle before them. I know this from my own bubbles of adoration for any film made by David Lynch or Jonathan Glaser I want it to be excellent. I am willing the experience to fulfill the expectations I have brought with me.

It was interesting to sit amongst the converted and feel their adoration from outside the circle. I could feel that every word uttered by the films subject would be a further building block for the belief system.

It’s also mystifying for the outsider to hear laughter in the audience to comments I could see no humour in. But I also realised that sometimes the laughter is a shared signal, an in-group reinforcement, from a shared meme I wasn’t party to. What I personally saw and felt was clearly so different from the reverence around me.

The film took a fairly conventional arc of describing the rise of Peterson through a series of set pieces and in fairness to the film makers there were a number of contrasting voices present, including transsexuals opposed to him and some fellow academics who had some clear points of difference to his world view but by and large the film operated as a biopic love-in. Starting with his early years teaching in Harvard, the publishing of his first book ‘Tracks of Meaning’ through to his more recent, internet ‘phenomenon’ status.

It’s focus seemed to be on exploring the human face of Peterson. Spending long periods at home with him in discussion with his wife and children and getting up close and personal with his daily routine and his huge oppressive collection of totalitarian propaganda painting. He waxed lyrical about these outsized socialist realist paintings of Lenin in his study, blanketing the walls. Apparently put there to remind him of the evils of socialism. He seemed happiest when he was picking away at the faults

of Lenin and Marx, yet a brief cut away revealing a painting in another room of a figure in Nazi regalia was not mentioned or discussed. In this collection of art I saw something of the obsession of the man, a mammoth project of immersing what seems a sensitive soul (long bouts of depression are mentioned frequently) in a cave of fury, where everything the left represents is simplistically reduced to the disastrous consequences of Russian communism and yet the dangers evident in his own attempts to harangue the marginal is never linked to the rise of fascism. The demagogue is always blind to the dark extremes of his own views .

I didn’t see Peterson as a committed right winger but as the film rolled on I saw a fragile ego becoming emboldened. His escape from the ‘black dog’ depression through personal discovery and his wife’s yoga is illuminating but too short. The delicate soul of the man is glimpsed but like his Nazi paintings never truly explored for fear of a soft underbelly being revealed. But this to me is the real source of his zeal. Tracking the classic new age hero’s tale, Peterson like Deepak Chopra or Eckhart Tolle before him has experienced a personal epiphany that lifts the cloud of anguish and reveals a path to redemption through a method. Peterson has converted his own personal salvation into a series of lessons to save humanity with his reflections . Suddenly the college professor with the righteous argument is exposed as simply another self help salesman. Leveraging his psychology background and Harvard tenure as respectable cover in a hum drum campaign for the hearts and minds of the emotionally fragile.

The clips of him signing books and greeting his fans (in largely empty venues) shows Peterson gleeful as his converts echo his divisive language, hugging a young fan as he talks of ‘neo Marxist’ take downs. Peterson uses the mantra of ‘personal responsibility’ to bring a set of political values into sharp relief. Rather than correct his awkward followers at their lack of intellectual inquiry he bolsters their shallow world view and plays the daddy role with dandyish aplomb.

What bothers me about Peterson is the fact that he does not want to question the needy assumptions of his fan base in the same way that he would his inquisitors on university campuses because he is a snob who knows his audience are followers, like all remedy sellers he doesn’t want to stop the consumption of the snake oil. Despite the fact as a professor he should be there to challenge young minds not play up to unhelpful language that boxes us all in.

This is a thread of conservative thought that dates back to the late 80’s. Peterson creates a set of pigeon holes to force the opposition into - ‘Political Correctness’, ‘neo marxist’, ‘social justice warrior’ all these are terms created by the right to define and target a series of affirmative actions undertaken on American campuses at that time. They are divisive and yet used repeatedly by a man who claims to be frustrated by both the right and the left. I agree that left wing pundits also bandy around terms like ‘fascist’, but if you choose to use these terms you choose a partisan position and it’s clear which one he has chosen.

I find his stand in transexual pronouns particular repugnant. My disquiet stems from his standpoint that a very small minority group (0.6% of the US population) and their desire for recognition in legislation is akin to a slide into authoritarianism. This in my view is particularly disingenuous. The outrage that is fanned by pundits like Peterson and Adam Shapiro is outrage at a non issue. The fact that cisgender white men may very rarely have to address a person by the pronoun ‘they’ or ‘them’ and feel some discomfort in negotiating this space is not a righteous argument it is just getting aerated by someone else’s business. They don’t have to like it, but they should accept it because essentially this helps transgender people negotiate their day in a hostile environment 24/7, so the fact it makes a white guy uncomfortable in the few small occasions when they have to talk to a transgender person is not a breakdown of civil society it is a reordering of who is included in our democracy, in the same way that language and law was adjusted to include women, gay people, and racial and religious minorities. Just as what name I call my child and which I then expect the world to address them by, is none of anyone’s business neither is how a transgender person wishes to be addressed. There is no history of transgender people creating fascist dictatorships. This is picking a fight with an enemy that does not want to fight or be your enemy. It is the kicking of the prone body just because it’s easier than taking on the real source of power in the world. There are deep philosophical questions about the root causes of our disintegrating political institutions and the co-opting of public life by corporations, that at least an eighth of the world’s money is stored in secret offshore vehicles for the benefit of a minuscule minority and that we face an existential collapse of all living systems as a direct result of this mismanagement of our economies. That is something for conservatives as well as progressives of all stripes to be concerned about. But that requires a mind with a more expansive outlook, a mind more embracing of complexity than Peterson’s. A man who’s narrow mind is not up to the task and I feel that will come to pass. I suspect that even as I leave the cinema his influence on public discourse is fading slowly from the public imagination so that at last, he can return to the bosom of his family and friend to carry on something he is competent at, the teaching of psychology at Toronto university.
