Beware OPUS…
An evolving gonzo theory, OPUS is a voluntary internal generation of the dark side of that unique duality of human nature, good and evil. OPUS composes the basic ingredients of human deception and clever tricks, which is for the sake of the Obsessive-Compulsive Postulation for Subjectivism Without Substance.
In short, the suggestion of such echoes the desires, desires and longings to be authenticated regardless of what the facts say. Fiction is often more acceptable than reality. We will believe anything if it agrees with the mental rubric we have fabricated. Credulity knows no bounds. We even invent extradimensional, anthropomorphic, or supernatural entities to express our lustful passions for personal and collective scapegoating, sacrificial rites, ceremonies, and rituals to ensure others conform to our belief systems. No one dares to disagree or disagreement has a price. Especially where the pretext of social customs is expected in a wide spectrum.
From the reflection we see in the wish pool of personal inclinations, reflected images stare back at us in the form of self-projected wishes. From there, good and evil, pleasure and pain, gain and loss, publish or perish, win or lose, in competition with eros versus Thanatos. So potent is the sensuality we see in ourselves that we do all sorts of things to deny its primary motivational processes.
The life force, fueled by intuitive energies, fights to defeat the ultimate enemy, death. But, inside we hear the voices that say, you can’t win the end game, eventually you’ll have to give up. This reflects the psycho-sexual dynamics of human intentions that are completely self-focused as opposed to other focused. In short, its logistical prompting from the cause-and-effect continuum of primary human thought processes stems significantly from the core of free will.
Ah, but the main direction of that unique voice, the libidinous inclinations that fuel lewd intentions, is singularly focused on self-gratification. This, at all costs, for the high heights of self-promotion. Working with the three puppets of the psychopath, paranormal, political and planetary conspiracies distract and sidestep the need for common sense. There is a duality of choice in this deliberate self-interest for this level of thinking, to do or not to do. As for gonzo theory, that is the strong sense of investigative skepticism, the cynical attribution towards fallacies of inference, all animated by a practitioner’s point of view of the real world of experience. And, liberally seasoned with a healthy dose of satirical humor to mock the pious pontification of pseudoscientists. Especially those from the “sacred” halls of academia, comfortable in the ivory towers of the so-called “social and behavioral sciences.”
Naturally, gonzo theory scoffs at silly notions backed by specious arguments based on hasty generalizations untested against the reality of human malice and terror. Their experiential diversity runs counter to the orthodox dogma of so-called “experts” who like shortcuts to the validity of evidentiary factors for their claims.
For example, many times if you read a so-called “expert’s” bone fide on the internet, on their so-called “expert” reference site, it will mostly be extraordinarily long with excessive use of the personal pronoun – “I”. Also, you can see words like “expert”, “nationally recognized”, “trained by experts”, “certified”, etc. You’ll also usually find a very dramatic photograph, which can project a glamorous image of proclaimed notoriety and special authority.
Self interest is everywhere. From the cognitive bias, subjective validation is part of our daily interpersonal social interaction. OPUS is very artificial. Here’s what to do to make sure wishful thinking hides facts. Particularly if you are running for office and want to mislead the public. You can usually rely on the fact that most people won’t do their homework or ask probing questions or do their own research. So keep the message simple, general, and smooth, like fortune telling or a cold reading. Scrap enough stuff that something sticks and seems to make sense.
Appeal to emotion at every opportunity. Like in criminal profiling, for example. Ensuring immediate gratification so that people feel good. Feeling always trumps logical deduction. Reinforce faulty conclusions to safeguard questionable and non-factual belief systems. Give people hope that they are always right and that life is full of ethical absolutes that reinforce “morality and meaning” regardless. Good luck!
