Trance-like state

I'm not in a fucking trance-like state when I'm scrolling through the fucking videos you fucking clown what are you talking about?

Hym "A 'trance-like state!?' Get the fuck outta here! I'm just watching videos dipshit what the fuck are you talking about? I'm thinking about other none video related things. This chick is doing a little dance or whatever. Songs kind of a bop. I've seen the dance, you know, yeah this one's not bad. I give my little internal applause for her efforts and I move on to the next video. It's like a Yugioh combo video or something so I try to memorize it quick in case I ever decide to play the deck or play against it (because I play every day). Then, it'll be some of those 'man talking to themselves as a different guy skits' (which I invented just like tik tok and AI) and it's funny or relatable or whatever and it's likely geared towards on of my interests. Video games, movies, chess, card games. Then maybe something will pop up from my subscriptions and I'll start to think about turning some background noise on and maybe playing a game. But I'm not in a fucking trance when I play video games either, like, anyone who thinks that is a retard. Video games are like 70% reading spreadsheets, managing inventory, and reading dialogue. And the other 30% isn't even entirely pressing buttons. EVEN FIGHTING GAMES have literal flowcharts (optimal progression of moves) and a lot of games involve literal IQ puzzles."

Theory of Concrete and Imagined States

A theoretical framework adapted from Benedict Anderson's analysis of nations, applying the distinction between concrete and imagined dimensions to political states. Concrete States are the tangible, material apparatus of governance: borders, bureaucracies, military forces, legal codes, tax collection systems, physical infrastructure. You encounter the Concrete State when you present your passport, pay a fine, or are stopped by police. Imagined States are the mental representations, symbolic constructions, and collective beliefs that make the Concrete State meaningful and legitimate: the sense of shared identity, the stories of founding and purpose, the flags and anthems, the belief that this particular territory and population constitute a unified political community. Following Anderson, the state is "imagined" not because it's unreal, but because no member ever encounters more than a tiny fraction of their fellow citizens or the full apparatus—yet the image of their communion exists in each mind. The theory insists that all states are simultaneously concrete (material apparatus) and imagined (mental construct), and neither dimension can survive without the other.

Theory of Concrete and Imagined States Example: "Crossing the border, you feel the Concrete State—the guards checking papers, the fence, the customs declaration. But pledging allegiance to the flag, you enact the Imagined State—the mental community of millions you'll never meet but somehow share a political identity with."

Theory of Mechanical and Organic States

A theoretical framework distinguishing between two fundamental forms of political organization: Mechanical States and Organic States. Mechanical States correspond to pre-nation-state formations—empires, kingdoms, city-states, feudal hierarchies—where political unity is achieved through external mechanisms: conquest, dynastic marriage, administrative apparatus, tribute systems. These states are held together by machinery, not meaning. Organic States are nation-states proper, where political unity is experienced as internal, natural, and identity-based. The citizen doesn't just obey the Organic State; they belong to it, feel it as an extension of themselves, experience its borders as the boundaries of their own identity. The transition from Mechanical to Organic State marks the moment when political organization stops being a machine you operate and starts being a body you inhabit.

Theory of Mechanical and Organic States Example: "The Habsburg Empire was a Mechanical State—a patchwork of peoples held together by dynastic machinery. When nationalism converted those peoples into 'nations,' the Mechanical State collapsed because its subjects now demanded to be parts of Organic States."
