Tom Hite

I think a majority of I witnessed was discussed or caught on the periscopes. But feel free to ask me any specific questions and I’ll happily answer.

@macbethinabathtub and I noticed the bouncer in the suit enter first. He seemed rather out of place and had a keen eye on us. He looked at us and then stepped back inside on his phone. Chris and I…[Read more]

I have this ingrained habit of collecting evidence and of not being shy about it. Here are a couple periscope stills of the man in the suit who confronted @prufrock5150:

@electrichippo Thanks! Guess we’ll just have to wait until @prufrock5150 decides to tell us what happened from his side.

@pandace88 No problem! I mainly transcribed it cause I didn’t get it either and had to write it down to follow it.

ALSO: It’s very interesting to me what you pointed out about Noah’s toast. On first viewing I just wrote it…[Read more]

Yes, @maxzumstein! It was the guy talking to @prufrock5150, I wasn’t there for that since Tom got up before the rest of us. And I guess this is as good a time as any to bring it up. Tom, do you want to fill us in? Right as Noah left he clapped Tom on the shoulder and Tom immediately got up and followed him. Afterwards, all Tom would say was that…[Read more]

@prufrock5150! Omg, this is amazing!! What was your explanation? I’m dying to know?!

@prufrock5150
I died. No pulse. Ded.

*Dramatic music plays at the end of their post*

@maxzumstein – I have no Eco to bring up sadly but you feel free – I’m reading this one Baudrillard thing that was sent to me by a performance studies colleague based on a conversation we had about Tension, actually! And no, I just studied theater – the reason why I’m reading this stuff now is because of Tension & Lust. I’m primarily a designer…[Read more]

Well shit ma bricks @maddyxxx I’m glad I hemmed and hawed over the “application”. It was…How does @prufrock5150 say it?

Dead ass totes sus af?

@prufrock5150
Poem out of nowhere! *clap clap clap*

@prufrock5150 Insightful as always. To which I can offer 2 corollaries:

1) I studied with the great actress Nina Foch at USC, and she said that there is very little originality left to be had. What matters, she said, was that by filtering something through our own unique perspective, we can offer different meaning to existing text.

“Take…[Read more]

@prufrock5150 – to add on to what you said- if you think about it them trying to create the “ultimate versions” of all of us in an AI makes complete sense.

Noah’s “system” was/is one that teaches you to be stronger, smarter, BETTER than everyone else. What other better way to do that than to subject us to brainwashing/technological…[Read more]

@prufrock5150 I suspect that since all the information gained that evening and discussed in the thread was shown to be game-jacked and don’t have any relation to the story that the creators are telling they would want the thread and items removed to not confuse anyone who is reading the thread after the fact.

If they kept it up you might have a…[Read more]

About that last point @prufrock5150 made regarding the phone call @tyson got, what if “people not being who they look like” is just a reference to acting? After all, what actors do is become someone else, so even if you know the actor personally (as many of the Tension alum and Ascension cast now do), when they’re playing their characters they are…[Read more]

I think this is a great idea @prufrock5150. I live a little too far away for casual meet-ups but I do look forward to tuning in to periscopes and seeing you all in-person at events, shows and conventions!

@prufrock5150,

Your touches on the senses, the body, and limitations remind me of the Ouroborus (circular like the coffee stain on the list).

To bring this full circle back to Plato. Here’s a quote from Timaeus:

The living being had no need of eyes because there was nothing outside of him to be seen; nor of ears because there was nothing to…

@prufrock5150 Holy crap…that’s pretty amazing, Tom. Thanks for sharing this. I’m heartened that these concepts bridge both culture and time. I’ve never gotten around to the Tao, and it’s about time. I’d even add that we not only dance naked, but buy up those lightning rods from the guy selling them down the street. I’m told he rarely passes…[Read more]

I’d even add that we not only dance naked, but buy up those lightning rods from the guy selling them down the street. I’m told he rarely passes through town, but does so when he knows the storm is coming.
