A pretentious, postmodern jerk-off idea, popular among some academics, that says that the creator of an artistic work is irrelevant to the work, that their thought processes and intentions in creating the work don't matter, that they are not an authority on the very thing that they created, and that YOU, the passive consumer of the work, are more qualified to know what the work is about than they are, who put tons of hard work and effort into creating it.
Who does this "Ray Bradbury" person think he is, saying that Fahrenheit 451 is about how nobody reads books anymore? *I* say it's about censorship, dammit! What does HE know, he only wrote the damn thing! Death of the author says that creators are just passive, empty vessels through which the Divine Muse speaks!

Get the plenary authoritymug. It is when the police do not thoroughly practice accountability.
The LVMPD knew about ED BUCK'S the politician DRUG den but no accountability at the HOMOSEXUAL BATH HOUSES OR DEJA VU both locatiions , FANTASY WORLD, and ADULT SUPERSTORE for RAMPANT drug use.
The LAPDOG ZOMBIE and SWICHERRUES are a barrier to accountability by the POLICE.

The LVMPD quipped about me chasing a roommate with a 10 inch knife when I was the VICTIM at WYNN and SPRING MOUNTAIN which because of their LAX POLICE AUTHORITY I had no trust for HENDERSON POLICE either because the T-SHIRT I had not warn yet was botched which precipitated the attack and in turn I lost a lot of money , assets and my very home I had found.
The drugs being disregarded appreciably by LVMPD having LAX POLICE AUTHORITY has led more often to even more violent outcomes in this jurisdictions and others around the UNITED SYATES as a big example CLEVELAND OHIO.
The LAX POLICE AUTHORITY loses an incentive with RACKETEERING behavior as the LAPDOG ZOMBIE AND SWITCHERRUES are a real good example of their RACKETEERING.

Hym “The funniest part about this is watching you turn into a self-serving, self-important narcissist. It’s hilarious. You’ll take the undue credit and claim to be what this is based on but it is based everything I have ever encountered. You are one of many and (In my opinion) the most arrogant and contemptible. You are you and I am Hym. You couldn’t do what I did if you tried and the funniest part is that I was just winging it. So, there are no ‘authors’. I wrote down ideas that I had internalized in addition to ideas of my own. You’re conflating the two. In every instance where the ideas of others are replaced with mine, mine come out on top. By every metric. Whether it’s ratings, revenue, or the standard for creative achievement (subsequent texts being based on the source). This is what competence looks like. Behold. Is I blinding? Can you see? Or must you shield your eye from the radiant light that is the very essence of my being?.”
