.question... are maxims orientated around propositions, or presuppositions? are they the already tested: or the - necessarily to be tested posits?

god... watching that GQ interview
with Jordan Peterson is...
so brain numbing,
   a contest fetish of who gets to
outwit who...
         i've experimented with psychiatric
analysis...
you know, that aspect of psychology
whereby they inject you with
pharmacological aspects of, "treatment"...
we used to play this game
(we? me and the psychiatrist)...
the game ended when i showed
signs of empathy...
      sympathy?! what the **** is
that? when someone says that their
mother died, and you say, "oh, i'm sorry",
is that what people call, "sympathy"?
well... by that set standard
sympathy is a delusion...
   empathy is the real deal:
       because it's a lived experience,
or rather: a shared experience...
   sympathy is pompous faking-it...
    at least with empathy you're not faking
it, or playing the ******* ponce...
simple...
  but this interview was such an exhausting
drag...
   which made me realize what fame
implies these days:
         regurgitate and repeat
to what constitutes the right number of
people who then network and know
what the previous person has heard...
regurgitate and repeat to enough
people, the same crap,
no, never allow yourself the bull's
worth of charge forward,
   join the hamster wheel crowd...
run circles...
      never a straight line...
       i think of fame i think of molasses...
that sickly sweet drool of
some window-licker....
      (apex twin)...
                it's like:
          if i have to repeat myself again,
i'll start punching myself in the face...
because you're still going to have to deal
with people who've employed
the logic of a Radiohead song,
the logic of: 2 x 2 = 5;
                    so why not 4 5ths?
or 2 x 2 = 4.2?
                          you can't win a logic
game with certain people...
       i'm a bull that sees red...
and i might find myself talking to
carriage horses...
                          donning horse-shutters...
funny facts...
who would have thought,
that the barbarians, the Huns,
that raided Rome under Attila...
were the people who invented the horse
saddle with stirrups!
                            almost bewildering.
always a great ambition
to become famous in the confines of
a postmortem...
            say it once,
say it well,
better still: say it quickly...
                        **** this ****** *******
of repeating yourself.
