RES: [UA] Phobomancy

[Haroudo Xavier]

Yeah, I think Saliel hit the spot. The whole point about today´s fear is
that we are constantly swimming on it. We are so much afraid every
single moment that we do stuff like that to have a cathartic backlash,
freeing us from the usual fear. Not just fear is so clog up, but also
violence. Big Brother and any tv show of the genre is a sadisctic act
playing on TV, and so much people watch it to release themselves of the
feeling of hatred for this or that kind of type of person, stereotypes
constanly played on those kinds of shows. 

Anyway, I stick with my fear school, where making people afraid and
devotion to cool horror stuff is the right vibe to look for.

Don´t forget, people, We Scare, Because We Care. :)

So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels

You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'

Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy"

No, they're not. In fact, it's not about entropomancy, but the end of
phobomancy. As if adrenalin-pumping activities were killing the fear. I
think not. People still afraid --- even when you are safe, there is
still a 'background-noise-like' fear, always there. This is why so many
people go to this sort of sports, so they can experiment some palpable
danger, and have the illusion that they overcame their fear.

But it lasts just up the next day in real life.
