@C0SMICDUSTS i love you so much. chronic pain / illness is genuinely so hard sometimes. i see you & i'm with you.
don't forget to remember that some days are easier, some much easier, and some are even fun!
This is one of the most captivating videos I've seen in years.
Two people who used deceptive fiction to build careers: one as a satirist and another as a fraudster. Both know the power of lying and the layers of guile available due to the underdetermined nature of language.
And both are clearly using the other person to try to tell a story: Holmes is there to save her own skin, and Fielder knows this. Holmes knows he knows this but she must pretend she doesn't and pretend that he doesn't know this either.
I pressure Fielder is there to use Holmes to produce a compelling work of art, and Holmes knows this, and Fielder knows Holmes knows this. But she must persist, because when she speaks to Fielder she's really speaking to the world, begging for clemency, and again he knows she's doing this.
The recursive layers of deception produce an entangled mess, and any attempt to describe this all logically and clearly will create more confusion.
But you watch the scene and, if you know the backstory, you know what is going on. A criminal is trying to save her own skin. A filmmaker is taking advantage of a criminal.
And then we zoom out to see her using a foot to rock the baby she had in a last-ditch effort to escape the consequences of her crimes.
This is art of a degree of hyperreal sublimity that I think has never been achieved before.
