The Empty Podupetrist. In 1955, we had The Quiet American (Greene). In 1958, The Ugly American (Lederer). Perhaps, we should think it may be time for The Empty dp wtf (or american, since podupetry is a microcosm of the us empire). Basic argument: We have no moral center, and believe in nothing except ‘progress’, buying endless shit, and making $, so we fuck over other people, countries, etc… that have genuine spiritual content, out of an unconscious frustration that our way of ‘life’ doesn’t really work and it’s completely empty–spiritually, intellectually, and ontologically. Honestly, it’s like a cosmic joke, conceived… Read more »

So you’ve ruined your life. Age is merciless—a blink of the eye, twenty, thirty years…gone—and gone for good.” Older now, hair’s turnin’ white (if you still have any), joints ache, waking up, stretching a little, and everything’s stiff in the wrong places. Maybe think about getting in a good workout…nah. Got to get to the office, Mrs. Lumptree has a paronychia. Show, shave, get all dressed snazzy, and fire up old Betsy, the same rice burner you’ve driven for the last ten years. It’s cold, and let it warm up, but it’ll never be warm enough. Driving through slush, rain,… Read more »

For the upwardly mobile Podiatric Medicine Doctor…hmm, that looks like, well close to legit, right? Some d-bagger at the grocery store handed me a card. Just a name: Dr. XYZ, and title PM doctor. An adherent to the basic axiom of the secret world poduppityness. I stopped at the store and this is what happened: “Don’t know what p o d i a t r i c is, but it sez messin doctor you y’all muss be da real thing. Mah infinkt got some kinda cooties,” Clem was picking up a sub sandwich when the dude in scrubs nudged him.… Read more »

Reality.........It's Traumatic
dp wtfs were fetishized trivia. Do USA-ians have a very special problem with authenticity, is this difficulty characteristic of tax and debt enslaving people living today within Western Industrial Civilization, or is it inherently human to become captivated by superficially enticing forms of self-deception? corporate jobs, starring at screens, sports obsessions, work addictions etc…. have yet to answer this question satisfactorily. Being authentic is bordering on the impossible in the podupetry these days. The stench of pretense (progress is good, money is the measure of a man, buy lotsa stuff, etc.) is ubiquitous here. It shackles the spirit. Ontologically empty,… Read more »

T is NOT a podupitrist. NO no no. “Ontological emptiness,” that’s outside of any DPs lexicon. And the keen observation of Abrahamic related religion-based culture…nails it. Enslavement by the wheel of misfortune by a culture designed to have ‘team players’—Reflects how ‘sports’ in the industrial age—coal mines, steel mills—used baseball and football to identify team players, weed out the crumbs. But in a sense we’ve all become to an extend “shackle spirits’ wandering though time till age mercilessly throttles our bodies and minds. Thanks T—on a particularly gloomy day, for a post to be read and reread. This is material… Read more »

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgSL3hY5iPE “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled is convincing the world he didn’t exist.” Verbal from the USUAL SUSPECTS. View the brief clip, and substitute your favorite word. Are podiatrists quacks? Gray area with shades of rainbows, unicorns, bunnies, lollipops, and a steadfast denial of reality. They exist in a vacuum of their own creation, worshipping at the alter of repetitive reinforcement from like-minded leaders. The illusive concept of change (education, training, and a sense of officialdom) looms large in toe town. Podiatry parity in the US is a thing that is hoped or wished for—largely by lifers—but in… Read more »
