Swan's Song in G+


                 There's been trouble in river town. What I've been writing about G+ was true. It just took a year and a half instead of 6 mos. I came to love my G+ with all it's bugs and quirks. It's going to still be here, but it not making revenue. Facebook has locked in most of the people, becoming a faceplant for most of our social media dollar even with new competitors popping up everywhere.

                  This article was stolen from Wired, "But don’t write the obituary yet. It would be a mistake to call this a retreat, or an admission of failure. This is actually Google doing what Google does best: relentlessly optimizing its products based on data and feedback. There’s a small but very dedicated core of Google+ users, for whom Streams will now simply be a cleaner, more focused product. (At least, until Google kills it off, as is its ruthless tendency with power-user products like Reader. Actually, let’s not talk about that, I’m still not ready.) The truth is that when Google launched Google+, it actually launched three things. What it didn’t realize was that the two that weren’t “the social network,” Hangouts and Photos, were actually the future of social networking."

                    It's nice to know that the accounts we now use will be re applicable through a series of predictable conversions. No need to be sentimental. (all those photos of the kids up at the lodge.) I've always known that my work and love is constrained by the rarity of G+ on the web. I fortunately had been offered a "Private URL." <https://plus.google.com/u/0/+PhillipJohnsonZENOPHILE/>

                    The expectation was by using Google Analytics, I was testing for the diffusion rate of my blog and G+ accounts. Carrying obscure content over the web became a kind of game for me with set limitations per the segmenting of the public sphere. (Statistical Math joke.) Discreet lines of inquiry have projected into a speculative realm. By virtue of reaching unknown audiences we have been able to observe the behaviors of us as readers. More news later.

Dancing Cross the Line of Fire & the Myth of Grace



                  Grace is no myth. It's what society does with grace that causes the beauty of art to become "Mythic." There is no greater daring than the will to create. Society is led by it's dreamers. But no sooner than a society changes, then we grow up and old. And as a society we forget.

                   We live in a modern culture of "Informational Undertow." The "Twin Promises" of the Free Press and Creative Expression are both subject to this same gravity well, dragging ignorance back out into the vacuum of public acceptance. Relevance is no longer viral. Information has a very limited shelf life and an ever accelerating expiration date. This always limits any chance of artistic survival. Less and less durable information survives.

                    "Look at me. Look at me." (Don't look at me.) Everyone today is expected to add image to this circus of media. There are no durable memories anymore. The mind of the public weakens to the strain of internet addiction. I can assure you, as individuals we don't matter.

                    New Propositional Law of the Para Psychological Method, #5;
                                        5.) "EVERYBODY WANTS PROOF"    Today, 2015

                    If you remember the first four, they are,
                            1.) "A Person's Guess Is Always Better Than Odds Would Allow." 1966
                            2.) "Everyone Has Blind Spots And Everyone's Blind Spots Are Different." 1980
                            3.) "Some People Are Very Different, Very Differently." 1997
                            4.) "Everybody Needs Love." 2008

                     These seemingly trite truisms may seem ultimately trivial, but yet they have revealed a profusion of statistical evidence that has rendered me a "Web Pariah." Notice the almost total lack of followers or "community." Only a couple of people have ever dared associate themselves with my blog or G+. (The only reason Google briefly sent my XENOPHILIA collection to the Middle East, China and Russia, is because my work passes the sniff test for internet media across the political barriers of censorship, for now. Even children can look at my work without fear.)

                     Out of this new modern Grand Symmetrical Coalescence we are seeing a new paradigm emerge. With arts and beauty, a new voice unimagined must be brave in order to think outside the crushing intrusions of business as usual. (Rock is dead.) As always I want to thank anyone who has ever brought their interests to the media circus, this makes the "Viral Ceiling" crack and crumble.

Baby Booster and the Phantom Audience


                  Disseminating durable new information out into society can be done in several different ways. Toying with my free Google analytics, I get to watch for my readers behaviors. Google has a lengthy services agreement that is worth reading. You're supposedly protected from ever getting identified by me or Google through my observations. And if I am able to know anything about you from this legitimately provided Google software, I'm not supposed to tell them, ever. That's not a problem for me, yet. But I know of more than a few people who read my blog anonymously. I wish my family paid this close attention to me.

                  In order to count and measure conversions, I want people to be able to go to any of the other pages in my blog magazines, Zenophile and TESTPOST magazine. Neither of which are real or businesses. All content transactions are free. Help yourself, take and share. I'm calling the "Wind Sales." my conversions. I"M SELLING WIND. I'm spoofing Google for engaging in the Competitive Content Contest, competing in social business media. And Google has been very helpful. They've fulfilled their agreement to offer suggestions per my request that I wanted it. Also, they are providing a series of internal manipulations by Google's mighty technology, sending my blog collections to many countries where facebook is banned. I am intermittently fed through a random "Impressions" feed to almost every country in the world. Most never look at what Google is offering to the general casual subscribers. Most don't use G+. But in modern Mutual Magazine Culture, we have a new phenomena. I can tell the difference between a click through to one of my pages, or a bounce away from my site altogether without connecting anywhere.

                  I'm getting a lot of traction with my casual readers who don't mind reading. Of the steady readers that do continue to check up on my posts, you actually spend a good bit of time here. Thank you. I'm sure my visual geek appeal hides an embarrassment of riches and a multitude of sins.

                  :"So where is the Viral Ceiling on the Google profile?" How many Sites ever reach Viral Status?" The Astronomy Websites are big. Some of the coders and designers get big views. I have been told, "blogs never go viral." True. Well almost never viral. Business is just business, and I am only selling the wind. (For Free.) I wonder if the domain name "WINDCORP" has already been purchased yet?

AD NEWS JOURNALISM



                  With all the weird quirks and bugs that the Google platform shares with it's apps, I spend much time reentering posts in their updated correct form. But yes, reentry in general is known to be a drag, lest we are returning from vacation or just coming down from some other meaningful afterglow. Or even just by facing up to all these predictably inevitable eventualities that I've been raving about like the mad prophet throughout this entire literary experiment. Landing is the hard part of reentry. P. S. Because I just erased this post, I may have to "Reenter.".

                  One Million Plus on G+ this Morning. Working with Alternative Medicine, Secular Religion And Spiritual Medicine has brought me to a language of healing new, fresh and unanticipated. The project goes on. Voluntary Disinhibition is that process by which we allow changes of perspective, that can proceed before a change within or between people. Because I'm most relaxed and refreshed after physical therapies, (Including Inductive Massage; DOIN, Acupressure, Sports Massage, Shiatsu and so on) I've had to readjust my expectations to deal with the return of ranges of motion and emotion. Fun, daunting and a little scary. The work continues, Welcome to our new modern era of AD NEWS JOURNALISM! Everything is changing and we may want to be ready.

Voluntary Disinhibition

Test Post #41. Retest


                         This Mandala demonstrates the combined influences of two artists working with a shared canvas. This lovely little item is the product of a collaboration between me and another artist, June "Moon Hanson. <junemoon.com>

                        I'm sorry I have neglected this blog in favor of trying to flesh out my ZENOPHILE blog. My intention has been to document the "Void of Content" that is now becoming our modern history. Nowhere is so much simply ignored, avoided and denied than with the biased use of scientific method. It involves the dis-use of the inductive methodologies. These rich sources for information have been obliterated behind the mask of a rational expediency. No where has impatience been more absurdly lauded, the pretense of scientifically objective authority in the economy of scale.

                        By manipulating the conformal mapping of artifacts for higher order wave functions, these functions are then projected onto oscillating exotic manifolds moving in real time. I've burned out Texas Instrument graphics calculators doing the same thing. I've even gotten to Spinors or Twistors. I'ld like to demonstrate the new frontier of mathematical object art. They post well on the blog site I'm presently using. Sorry everything is taking so long.

                      I use math graphics to make art, representative of the amazing types of calculations employed in the construction and architectural treatment of such religious master works as Hindu Temples, Mosques, Cathedrals, etc. I'm surprised any of you have been able to find this blog at all. Art does not occur in a vacuum. Thank you.

Who's the Spaminator {Subtext Anyone?}

                                     
                         Now that events have eliminated most of my false subscribers, "You" are my only remaining readers who've chosen to continue with me for now. If you've been able to find reading materials I've recommended, you've seen my personal bias for attempted historical accuracy. As the whole point of my work is in the understanding of symbolic languages, it's been my privilege to appeal to the most scholarly of Metaphysicians. I do feel a little badly about screening out all of the more questionable traffic sources, I'm ignoring their spam. They have been trying to entice me, with promises of better access. But they should have the free choice to decide themselves, whether or not to keep me on as another free content blog provider.

                         I've just checked again, to see what's actually happened to this pornographic traffic source, "The Tao of Badass." As they had stated in their seduction video offer, "This is a limited time offer only. The website is no more. (The domain name was actually offered to be sold to me, by whom I do not know.) Very classic applied "Games Theory." (Basic premise being, "You know you want it." "So your going to pay for it, Right Now!") But I never asked for it. And I certainly didn't buy in. It still leaves me wondering why and how so many Russians, (almost a thousand) were allowed to use this temporary dummy commercial website to access my blog. But unless I'm contacted directly, I'll never know why. What a strange compliment, almost all of my first hundred pages were exclusively viewed from Russia only. I'm still occasionally getting read via one of their other websites, very surreptitiously. But the direct line of connection completely shut down, almost to the day that Putin banned the web in his country.

                          Interesting stuff this applied games theory. If you don't believe in yourself, you supposedly will never achieve your goals. But that's just a great place to start. I like "Games Theory." But that is it's problem, it's just another theory. Mutual benefaction, market leverage, information control; it's all pretty esoteric. And although attitude is critical, attitude is harder to maintain than is your weight, security or sex appeal. Such is the power of faith, (and it's limitation.) Mind control is not something that everyone has, nor can it be marketed as a consistent product. That's why I never make promises or take advantage of people's gullibility. No matter how tempting, I wont sell false hope. Even when I know it may be the only thing that works. Dependencies on popularized "Authoritation By Proxy," are so tempting for most people, that most people would rather be following the most popular elephants butt, than risk having truly unique distinctively unpopular opinions. It's therefore inevitable that people will accuse me of being a con artist, brainwashing the foolishly weak minded. It's okay to be giving your money to a stock adviser or a political campaign. It's acceptable to believe in cranky doctors or criminal attorneys. But I still prefer to let people make their own decisions, no matter how provocative and innovative my own findings really are. I guess I owe these "Spaminators" a debt of gratitude for letting me think, I was already writing engaging content. But as always, I do try to stay out of trouble. Peace out.
