Entertainment



“Well, so one of the things I really liked about this movie was it showed me Why People Watch Wrestling, and I couldn't — because certainly they're not appealing and I'm not being —

There are different strata of conception of abstraction that any entertainment process has to appeal to and you know most people don't Go to Movies and that's actually because, it really is because Movies operate at a level of sophistication that are too hot that is too high for many people just like novels —

I mean hardly anyone reads, you know, and about 15% of the population, might be twenty percent cannot read well enough to follow written instructions —

And maybe it's 15% of the population or ten percent have never finished a book, never — but still, The Archetype still needs to manifest itself at different level, and so it manifests itself in Wrestling; but even there, where it is physical force, it's not just physical force, like it's a drama between Good and Evil, and you can see this so clearly and then in the Bret Hart documentary.


Because He’s The Good Guy, and no, The Bad Guys are really over the top Bad, it's a real drama it's like it's Good versus Evil in The Ring every time, and hopefully Good Wins, but Good often gets,  you know  — maybe The Bad Wrestler brings two of his friends in and they bring in chairs and they bash the hell out of The Good Guy — The whole audience is just outraged by this, and the documentary does a lovely job of showing that, but so —

Even at the level of physical combat, let's say, 
You can't reduce What's Good
What's Strong, it's just one element of it — 
better to be strong than to be weak, 
and so You can have a Strong hero because 
it's better to be strong than to be weak, 
but it's better to be strong and kind than to be strong 
and it's better to be strong and kind and wise 
than to be strong and kind and so  —

And that's True not only for human beings, but it's even True, let's say, at The Wolf or The Chimpanzee level , because one of the things you see with the chimp dominance hierarchies, if — and I Think I mentioned this before — if The Leader, the dominant male is really good at fostering social relations and being reciprocal and acts like grooming, and also paying attention to the females and their offspring, His Dynasty will be much stronger” 





“About nine months ago all these people 
would have been cheering him — 
I don't think they would have,  um —
 been saying stuff like this,
This is really disgusting.

I like Bret Hart because 
he has Family Values,
he's Loyal, he really, genuinely 
Likes his fans

Even though He may Hate, what  — 
The Morals of America,
 there are some people 
who Believe in exactly 
What He Believes in, you know?

He really inspired Me to Do many 
different things with My Life  —

He taught me how to —
That I had a giftto take it 
to my fullest extentso 
now I'm going to school 
for computer graphics 
and I owe it all to Brett
because four years ago,
 I wouldn't be going to school, and now, 
I'm going to graduate, because 
I just Didn't Believe in anything else
when I started Liking Brett
everything changed.”
