Field Reports

One day you will be called upon to break a big law in the name of justice and rationality. Everything will depend on it. You have to be ready. How are you going to prepare for that day when it really matters? You have to stay "in shape" so that when the big day comes you will be ready. What you need is "anarchist calisthenics." Every day or so break some trivial law that makes no sense, even if it’s only jaywalking. Use your own head to judge whether a law is just or reasonable. That way, you'll keep trim; and when the big day comes, you'll be ready.

James C. Scott, Two Cheers for Anarchism

Have you done something recently that stretched your soul? Made your balls grow bigger? Put you in real danger of humiliation, exclusion or failure? 

We want to hear about it. 

Share your story on the Field Reports Page. We’ll select a couple each month to feature in the Print Edition of Entre Nous. 

Future Field Reports Coming Soon 

This month, we found the following Field Reports particularly worth sharing.  Read all of the Field Reports in the War Room:

Talking Shit:

He performs a self satisfying routine, spewing his repressed fear and loathing of himself, onto the faces of his faithful. 

His hack: performative certainty.

Why I chose these: 

  • Puscifer: I love TOOL, but I really, truly ADORE Puscifer. If you are reading this, I think there’s a good chance you are like minded enough that you are probably a fan, too.  In this band, we get Maynard James Keenan at his peak Maynardness. They have a new record out. I don’t love it. Maybe you do? I love hearing them discuss process. Watch how understated these two wicked geniuses are. 
  • Kevin Shriley: Yes, another Rick Beato interview. You are welcome. When Rick Shriley landed the job job to engineer RUSH’s Counerparts album, he was pitifully broke. He had to ask RUSH for a few bucks just to get by at first. I love finding out that my favorite pieces of art were created in devastatingly human conditions (I have a tendency to assume that all great things were made in idyllic circumstances, and that until I am in idyllic circumstances, I cannot make anything truly great).  Counterparts  was a major fork in the road for the band, and for Geddy’s approach to bass playing. Lyrically, the album explores masculine / feminine dynamics, Neil Peart poses some gorgeous, heartbreaking questions about love in “Cold Fire”, “Animate”, and “Speed of Love”. 
  • Secret Spy Tech: When you tap your card to pay for lunch, you are using tech that came out of Russia & the USA spying on each other. Veritassium does such fun, nerdy, smart work. 
  • Diary of a CEO: ….may be keeping you from succeeding. Real talk, I used to love this show. Something started to feel off to me. Barry’s Economics named it.  BEWARE OF SUCCESS PORN. 
  • This is why your brain loves Angine de Poitrine: Charles Cornell is a terrific music teacher, he gives a breakdown of what makes this quirky music so fun.
