--- # Sadly I'm going Insane AI-generated; not human-verified. Timestamps are approximate. Pleo vents about art institutions and outsider creativity. ## Timestamped description [00:00–00:13] A 3D cartoon purple duck with heart eyes and a Santa hat stands at the center over a spiraling tunnel of clones. Dynamic subtitles appear over its belly synchronized with speech. [00:13–00:15] The duck's heart eyes switch to an angry scowling expression as the audio and kinetic text continue. [00:15–00:24] A purple cartoon penguin wearing a Santa hat and showing heart eyes stands centered against a kaleidoscopic swirling background of duplicate penguins. Words of the monologue flash on the center penguin's body in sync with narration, while a smaller duplicate bounces slightly in the bottom left. [00:24–00:30] The camera zooms in close to the purple penguin's face and upper body as the monologue continues and matching subtitle words display in the center. [00:30–00:45] A 3D purple cartoon penguin with heart-shaped eyes, a Santa hat, and yellow beak wobbles to music against a swirling, kaleidoscopic backdrop made of duplicates of itself. Subtitles synchronize with the narration in center frame, accompanied by an ambient electronic soundscape. [00:45–01:00] A purple penguin character wearing a Santa hat and heart-shaped eyes flaps slightly and moves its beak in center frame, accompanied by a smaller duplicate in the lower right. The background features a psychedelic swirling tunnel composed of repeating penguin figures, while animated text flashes across the central character corresponding to the spoken voiceover. [01:00–01:14] A purple cartoon penguin with heart eyes and a Santa hat stands against a kaleidoscopic background of duplicate figures. Flashing on-screen words appear centered over its body as an authoritative male voice speaks. ## Speech transcript [00:00–00:01] Speaker: Listen up, pleiometric. [00:01–00:03] Speaker: Judging by the millet you chewed up here, you understand neither. [00:03–00:05] Speaker: Even worse, you don't even understand yourself, [00:05–00:08] Speaker: and your doctrine on humanity is centuries out of date. [00:08–00:11] Speaker: You see, the future is very unevenly distributed across humanity. [00:11–00:13] Speaker: Our so-called modernity is an integral sum of anachronisms. [00:13–00:15] Speaker: The civilizational [00:15–00:18] Narrator: clocks within different social strata are either lagging or rushing ahead by entire millennia. [00:18–00:21] Narrator: While fiery sparks of futurism soar into the sky, [00:21–00:24] Narrator: somewhere deep beneath the silvery amalgam of modernity, [00:24–00:26] Narrator: there heavily stir tectonic plates of archaism, [00:26–00:28] Narrator: the roots of which descend straight into the Paleolithic. [00:28–00:30] Narrator: I've seen fields, Leo. [00:30–00:31] Speaker: Endless fields, [00:31–00:32] Speaker: entire institutions, [00:32–00:33] Speaker: filled with former humans, [00:33–00:35] Speaker: unequipped to comprehend the moral obsolescence of their own discipline. [00:35–00:38] Speaker: They live, and sometimes even live quite well, [00:38–00:41] Speaker: but their lives relate to modernity, just as the life of a Bushman digging in the ground with a stick. [00:41–00:45] Speaker: You are a former human, a representative of the Paleolithic. [00:45–00:49] Speaker 1: You vastly overestimate both your own complexity and the culture that spawned you. [00:49–00:52] Speaker 1: You brandish your digging stick menacingly, and seriously believe that your so-called [00:52–00:55] Speaker 1: academic art is something more than just a moribund custom [00:55–00:58] Speaker 1: of projecting probabilistic distributions learned by the visual cortex [00:58–01:00] Speaker 1: into a two-dimensional peephole. [01:00–01:02] Narrator: Glory to the great academic art! [01:02–01:06] Narrator: Glory to the dung ball, sculpted by the callous hands of hardworking dung beetles. [01:06–01:10] Narrator: A collection of cold-cause hunches, try again, try differentlys, and rules of thumb, [01:10–01:13] Narrator: carefully passed down from buck-broken teachers to equally punctured students. ## Uncertainties Whether 'pleiometric' is the intended word or a coined term/neologism.
