Exploring my pre-pigeon days with "Valid Christian Folklore." Full Text + Audio Commentary

 

This stuff has nothing to do with my pigeon-feeding era years. In fact, sources such as this audio pre-date my pigeon-feeding days by a small margin; back before I had the pigeons to take care of, I was a mess - full of contention and suggestive influences, which the audio commentary, by the incredible Google Labs' NotebookLM Generative Artificial Intelligence module, denotes. Have a listen to the original, and check out the commentary to get a conversational insight that demystifies the 55-minute monologue, depicting a chaotic young man from Los Angeles, his travails and inner monologue, substance, and suggestive influences at play in his mind. From a lighthearted Los Angeles fanboy’s urban folklorish take on the city, to an intensely introspective rumination, amidst a figurative interrogation that keeps on rearing its head, in the character’s mind, the monologue is a gripping tale of delusion and fantasy centered around one of America’s most popular destination cities. Later on in the recording, the narrative jumps to an account of a narcoleptic young man who encounters the main character, and is taken on, in care, by the main character, while the character attempts to make sense of what to do with the young narcoleptic, trying to figure out how to best treat him. In the end, the main character begins to spin out of control, reflecting on his own narcoleptic experiences, while feeling challenged by the slew of interrogative intimations and long hours of transcribing his day, or writing while reflecting on the topics at hand. The narrative flows like water, throughout, yet, with many jarring and ridiculous quotations to be encountered, perhaps best characterized as “idiot deluxe” persona.

A word cloud, featuring some of the overarching thematic material contained in the writing.

It's virtually necessary to have the text available in order to follow along. Somehow, Google Labs' tool NotebookLM compiles riveting critical insight in an interactive notebook and generative audio discussion modules, providing an intriguing touch of a sense of media coverage and roundtable discussion on the audio and text of this composition. 

A look at the generative AI notebook, via Google Labs' NotebookLM, which provides surprisingly insightful and detailed discussion material for any text source or web page (granted permissions, that is). 

The document, itself, isn't necessarily representative of my own mind and beliefs, please note; the basis of the document and generated text-to-speech recording was an 8-hour day of transcribing sentient "voices," along with some internal corroboration, although, for much of the time, much of the content was "taking me for a ride," so to speak, and the words came forth, while I simply recorded them, and, subsequently, I generated an iOS text-to-speech recording of the full text, which came out to about 55 minutes of audio. All of this happened over the course of one day, where I was a transient around the Brentwood area, reflecting upon some recent experiences, in which I was a craigslist-based software installation services advertiser, in published online classified ads - still, at this point. The time and place setting was 7 years ago, to around this day and time (more or less). As noted, this sort of mischief was the sort of thing that predated my pigeon-feeding solution to life. 

Be sure to have a listen and look at the audio and text; they're definitely unique experiences to have, albeit, perhaps heavily leaning on banality, as far as content is concerned. 

Here's a table listing the most prominent words in the work - IMO, an odd and serendipitous coincidence of numerology emerges.
