The Mutual Human Game: An Embarrassment of Riches

In the Human Game, we thrive by mutual support. We can define what it means to be alive in a world of people, free of selfish attachments and agenda. So much hardship has confronted everyone in my society near and far. This motivates me to upload my book, rather than let it continue to collect dust. My problems are very small, but in showing the commonness of the personal issues, I need to start with something I know personally.

I'm going to skip the Abstract here till the next page and start with a personal demonstration of ethical quandaries we all struggle with. I'm going to ask an off-topic question. "How do I retain my self-respect in a culture that is arrogant about issues of common welfare?" In discovering Facebook concerning my bodybuilding community, I'm in culture shock. The rigidity of social media interactions is one thing. I'm investigating my fellow bodybuilders on Facebook. I'm horrified to discover they're mostly rich men in premature male menopause. I know many of my athlete friends to be magnanimous and socially aware, self-objectification and narcissism are not the only constant. But the bodybuilding culture is rife with materialism, egotism, and misanthropy. THE OBJECTIFICATION OF THE ATHLETE AS MALE AND FEMALE OF THE SPECIES IS GROSS. White American bodybuilders are predominantly crackers who eat conspiracy theories with relish. Fortunately, my Black friends at my gym who are mostly Christians, and not hard right reactionaries. I understand now why my X has been telling rumors that I'm strung out on steroids. She's intensely liberal and the Bodybuilders are commonly pigs. However, I am actually a micro-stud, revenant, and a geriatric surprise. People used to ask me, "What are your training goals?" So I'd say, "I want to get laid." People's problems change, and so have I. The question is, even though I'm going to keep training to keep my manic depression under check, "How do I keep from being ashamed of my sexy embarrassment of riches?"

I'm living an exceptional life of personal success. "Exceptional people, have exceptional needs, and we get exceptional results." But, in resistance training, ego fragile bodybuilders often mistake themselves for immortal and mock the common lot for having normal human hardships. Physical training is supposed to be an all-inclusive super culture and not just another exclusively alienating subculture. Training is cultivating a broader experience we humans can share. The Culture of the Body is simply another medium for communication and not a goal or destination. But I'm seeing the reason people are hostile toward such conspicuous effects of consumer affluence. Beauty can be a form of gluttony.

I'll probably always feel conflicted about having spent almost all of my life in near-total solitude. But this is what allowed me to study, train, and provide educational arts and science media for the general public. Being embarrassed or ashamed accomplishes nothing by itself. But the only reason I'm moderately healthy and alive is because of the shared resources of others. "How do I keep my self-respect while not losing myself in a culture that often disgusts me?"

Winning in the Mutual Human Game A REDEFINITION OF ROMANCE

                   The loss of meaning in life has come about because of the death of unconditional love. Whatever happened to the romance with life itself? Why has romance and passion become synonymous with ownership? I want to define success by what can be shared and given, not what or whom I own or get. I find no happiness in winning if I have to make someone else fail. People are not objects or objectives.

                    My first book, "XENOPHILE" is about understanding and accounting for human variability. These interpersonally defined distinctions inform our perceptions of everyone's differences. In XENOPHILE, I used Biometrics and Ergonomic Physiognomy to catalog many of these variables of distinction. The book was a confession of a professional psychic and why I had to stop taking money. I got too easy, and the industry is contaminated by ignorance, corruption, and distorted thinking.

This book will be about encouraging the virtues of individual distinctiveness, growth, and social maturation. Just like with my book XENOPHILE, "The Human Game" will unfold in blog form, documenting my life's work as a sensitive. Through the mutual study of social boundaries and intimacy, language again becomes our friend. So much of our culture has been damaged by players who have no business in the game of mutual benefit. The abuse of language isn't about cursing, it's the practice of mockery that oppresses people. It seems we all have been trolled by people who just want to make others unhappy. I want to prove that misery doesn't have to be the only game in town. Again, we can find ourselves wanting to love life, including hardships. While we look to see the world reflect what we want to find, sometimes, we can be happy just making others smile.

This is another one of those literary exercises, where I have no idea how it will end. Hopefully, I'm not the only person who finds fun in a Romance with Life.  {6th rule of the Para Psychological Method: "Mutual Externalization is getting to live in shared realities.}

Didn't warm up before getting these. But it's start.

                                                                                           

Starting Posing tutorials tomorrow morning with Jimmy Quads. I need to document my 63rd birthday.

Need to get better Photos. I've avoided pictures since I got my health back 12 years ago.

Pictures look better if I post them in my XENOPHILE blog first.

                            Somehow my skin is holding together, this picture is only a year old.

Style, Subtlety, and Tact. Innocence Is Always Unexpected

In writing dramatic screenplays, we often have "The Fool Triumphant." This Innocent always plays the heavy. The Innocent has to do all the moral heavy lifting. In Comic Books, heroes are naive and act like virginal buffoons stumbling over their innocence in classically pathetic ways. This is where drama can be comic and grotesque

Although immunity is an illusion, these stories are always supposed to come with a moral ending. The antagonist or bad guy is usually a sociopath. Although the heel is embroiled in totally self-important emotional poverty, ideally good conquers evil, at least for a while. But usually, there's a little bad guy in all of us.

The unexpected moral virtue of these strange and often beautifully grotesque simpletons is innocence. The stranger does not use the courts or the authorities unless it is for collective good. Selfless and fool-hardy, the Innocent uses emotional leverage instead of hostility to neutralize opposition. Generally, our gentle heroes wander through life, losing everything, before getting it all back again with a lot of hard work. Yet they never know how hard what they are doing is. The Innocent always make the impossible look possible. And they are usually invisible, unknown, and changing with the random whims of fate or fortune.

Now that's drama. Melodrama, on the other hand, is when the villain thinks they are the hero and overacts. Preening and self-absorption is the domain of the bully. We have a classic heel in the White House.

"The world will be saved by the voices of the children." Innocence is always unexpected. Welcome to the Guardian Fellowship. We accept all.
