life inversions on Vie Hebdomadaires

Another guest post at Vie Hebdomadaires, this time covering the basics of life inversions, tol-style. If you've been around a while, this will be oldish news. Still, I'd love to see you there. I always love to see you.

Hi Michael,

Have never heard the full Life Inversion story in one place. Love it, of course.

Still think it would make a great memoir.

Like you I also "woke up" one day. Hard to pinpoint the exact moment - more like a string of moments gel into one giant moment. Suddenly, the story you are being told doesn't make sense anymore. Kinda like the plot falls apart and then the book of "You're Supposed To Be Doing It This Way" starts to disintegrate.

Normally, we wouldn't have an Occupy Anything because those college grads would be busy reading the above referenced book. They'd be sucked into the plot, buying the crap you got rid of and I'm trying to get rid of. The stuff that tethers you for most of your healthy days. The jobless economy for the young has created "life interrupted."

What I'm wondering now is do they want to embark on a Life Inversion or do they want access to The Book? Do they want the right to buy stuff that tethers them or have they decided they don't want the stuff and instead want a life? A lot of right wing radio hosts and their listeners think it is access to the book ...

Any idea?

I don't think one answer would suffice, G. The groups are diverse enough to be able to safely say that some might just want a plot fix, but there are many that want to start writing something completely different. But writing the #occupy movement off as just a bunch of whiners wanting a piece of the pie without working for it is so myopic as to be laughable. It's spin at best, intentional obtuseness at worst.
