In Which the Late Permian Triassic Event is Mentioned again, as a more appropriate name to the A-Pop-Calypse

Good afternoon, dear friend, reader of this post! Happy Friday! How are you, today? I am okay, I'd say, the weather has been amene, which is rare to say, given I live in a tropical landscape. God bless winter, it is my favorite season. Apart from that, yesterday I went to see my dear Psychiatrist, dr. Francis, and it was a very positive appointment. I am fond of Dr. Francis and we talked about many things that contributed to my treatment of chronic OCD, and my mild but still requiring attention autism diagnosis. He prescribed me a medication to aid on my current wave of, what it turned to be, depression. The improvement over my mood has been, on the first day anyway, quite positive! I am much more disposed than I was yesterday. I can at least have the desire to do things again. Whatever chemical imbalance that could have been causing woes in my mood and how to respond to it, that has been mitigated, it is a positive move! Cheers for that and my gratitude to Dr. Francis.

I trust I may have a better classification for what I called in 2025 the A-Pop-Calypse, given it, if you can believe, downplay the seismic shift that has happened ever since and even at when I gave the name, around March-May. Either a shift or a correction, a return to less heated times, the thing is, it is clear as I mentioned before, we are in a Permian moment in pop culture anyway. On the contrary to what appeared to have been a fury from God, that took out so much of the creatures and the landscapes on the end of the Paleozoic, and at the gates of the Triassic, and also during the Triassic, this one Anthropic landscape Permian set of events has been actually a needed one, a net positive, and it has been announced for years, it has been felt on slow motion also, as we know, and many that refused to respond in a good way, have been taken out of many industries. How I love Capitalism, whatever is left of it with us today. The breeches that can breathe still sustain the whole humankind still. We that like the free markets and that like the works of liberty, we keep being vindicated, and when we have reason to smile, we must. We must, specially because those are not frequent.

As I did mention, I have been reading the great book by Mrs. Rand, The Romantic Manifesto, and it is a remarkable piece of literature, a superb essay, and I won't mention she washes my soul with our agreements, the words I wanted to say and she did, loud and so well. No, I want to mention also the disagreements! And even the not-so disagreements but divergence in taste, too. Because those cause me to strengthen my own position, and allow me to write better as well. And since she is a safe haven, I can do so without fear of giving ammunition to someone malicious in its intentions. She appears to dislike Shakespeare greatly, I admire her courage, because many would sing tales of glory over Shakespeare without ever touching the man, and she clearly did, and was unimpressed. That is great, I love her for it. I don't share the same distaste, though I concur with her basic premise that Shakespeare follows a gruesome naturalist view of the world and mankind. He can be cynical and lament the woes of life, and I still think there is some value in it, let it be the richness of the worlds he uses, or the grand scale that elevated his own language. The Elisabethan era deserves its title of Gloriana, even with the warts, perhaps even thanks to them, also.

I write this thinking of the most recent wreckage that has been observed in pop culture, the apparently horrendous movie on the Odyssey, by that man I grow to dislike the more I hear his voice, Mr. Nolan. I was resisting on talking about it because I have no plans on seeing it, but I am sure on principle, where it matters, this project would have been despised by Mrs. Rand, and it is a stillborn one. I am mentioning it as an example of timestamp of this by now late-permian event. I want to make a mention of it... with of course, the disclaimer I won't watch it. I did see the reviews, with what I hear of them, it would be another experience to make me stop watching movies, and I don't need that. At all.

Anyway, this is what I wanted to write today. Happy that I could have a nice moment after some weeks of, really, tasteless grey moments, for what I have felt. I hope I can return to the publication really soon, hopefully by the middle of next week, and then we'll talk there. See you again real soon, I hope, and farewell but just for now!!! Wish you the best, cheers!
