Man Pointing - Alberto Giacometti - How people would appear to an observer traveling past at close to the speed of light.
One of my favorite books is Leonard Shlain’s Art and Physics. The book is thought provoking in its proposal that art is predictive of future discoveries in physics. Over a ten-year period Shlain wrote the book and demonstrated a connection between modern art and the new physics. It’s an amazing book and confirmed my own sense that not only artists but other creative people have an uncanny ability to tap into a collective unconscious and foresee the future. It’s a kind of precognition borne of the creative inquiry.
Repeatedly throughout history, the artist introduces symbols and icons that in retrospect prove to have been avant-garde for the thought patterns of a scientific age not yet born (p. 19).
Let me give you one example.
At the beginning of the 20th century Picasso a young Spanish artist began experimenting with time and space in his art and the nature of reality. Cubism was introduced and created a storm in the art world. His work was a cacophony of brown, black and white fragments or cubes scattered about the canvas which depicted the intersection of time and space. His art dispensed with the notion of linear time as he presented his works as “all there.” There was no need to view an object sequentially as all facets of the object, front, back, top and bottom could be presented at once. He re-envisioned external reality so that the simultaneity of time and space could be represented in the now. He viewed objects relatively from several points of view as if one might see reality while traveling at the speed of light.

Another more understandable example of this notion of the relatively of time is Duchamp’s famous painting, Nude Descending a Staircase. Looking at this painting we see the present, past and future of the nude descending the staircase all at once. This is what we might see riding aboard a light beam travelling at the speed of light.

Some years later a fellow by the name of Einstein posited a theory of relativity suggesting that at c or 186,000 miles per second (speed of light) all time would be present, exactly what Duchamp depicted.
People like us who believe in physics know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion – Einstein.
The book is a wonderful read and I recommend it. When you finish, you will begin to think about the world differently.
When I finished the book years ago it spurred me to begin looking at all creative expression as potentially predictive of some future state or condition. For example, would it be possible to apply the same logic that Shlain used toward art to movies. Over the years as I watched movies my mind always drifted to possible future connections. Dystopian movies always caught my attention because I think they predict one possible future for us given our current life-style trajectory.
With the Covid pandemic I have been thinking again about movies retrospectively and what might have foretold us about our present condition and have concluded it’s the zombie movie. Zombie movies have been with us since 1932 but the explosion of those movies took place during the 2000’s and 2010’s. All totaled there were 348 zombie-like movies produced during those two decades. Wow!
Crockett and Zarracine (Oct 31, 2016)
Crockett and Zarracin (2016) wrote an article suggesting that zombie movies were also a reflection of the times in which they were produced. But nothing seems more predictive of our current plight than the 348 zombie movies that have preceded it.
Let’s look at some characteristics of zombies. Zombies are angry and rageful. They also have very limited brain function -- cognitive impairment and it is their weak spot -- to defeat them you must attack the brain. Zombies have difficulty with complex decisions because of damage to their frontal lobes. They can infect others. If you are bitten by a zombie, you will become zombie. They are unemotional and have no mercy toward anyone.
I think there is a literal and figurative connection between the vaccine – infected and the zombie. I am going to suggest a few connections and if you see more let me know and I’ll add then to this article.
Foremost is their cognitive impairment reflected in the mass formation that has overtaken them. They are unable to process conflicting or complex data or deal with ambiguity. They cannot do any independent thinking about the vaccines settling for being told what to do and what to think.
They are angry. I think, at some level, they recognize what has been done to them, and that bubbles up as rage and vengefulness. I have detailed that anger and manifestations of that rage here and here. They have no mercy toward anyone who is not like them - the vaccine-free. They are obsessed with cannibalizing everyone by injecting them with the vaccine to include children.
They are terrified of death and lumber along trying to our run it by any means possible. If they must inject another to survive so, be it. They must live at all costs included sacrificing their grandchildren.
The only means to defeat them is by repairing the damage that has been done to their brains by the mass trance they are under. This is not easy task as the medical profession is sworn to keep them in a permanent state of dis-ease by repeatedly injecting them and the government bureaucrats are changing Covid rules daily to keep them dazed and confused.
Heed this warning the vaccine- infected are coming for you! However, I am wondering if a wooden cross or garlic might offer some protection. Please note these treatments are not FDA approved for use with this population of creatures.
Here’s a recent article that reflects the ideas in this stack.

I scored quite a bit of candy - good candy too!
Mass formation, yes. But what about the neurological damage?
I am seeing a lot of testimony that talks about removal of empathy, killing the connectome of the brain, forcing people to be more self centred.
While what you speak of is beyond reproach - mass formation is a thing - there is (always, effin' always) more.
