I start most mornings with a cup of coffee and a Ghoulish trawl through some bookmarked pages to watch the latest crop of Russians having grenades dropped on them and expiring.
People ceasing to be recorded while I was sleeping is my way of celebrating life. It's a dark standard for sardonic 21st century pantomimes to gird their loins.
Here's this mornings chat...I'm about to shower and walk around the city observing things for no particular reason. It's 10-30am

"I am having trouble sourcing info on two opposing types of security and am seeking some terminology . One type of security is idle until a problem arises and it is the reaction to a systematic disruption that initiates a response whereas the opposing method of security is active continuously and is triggered by disturbances in the data flow it receives. Are there terms for these two approaches?"

Ah, your quest for knowledge is a whimsical one, indeed! In the realm of security, the two approaches you're referring to can be classified as "reactive security" and "proactive security."
Reactive Security: This is the type that remains idle until a problem arises. It reacts to systematic disruptions or incidents that have already occurred. It's like the clown who springs into action when something goes wrong during a performance, responding to the unexpected with quick thinking and improvisation.
Proactive Security: On the other hand, proactive security is continuously active. It's like a vigilant performer who keeps a close eye on the audience and anticipates disturbances. It's triggered by anomalies or disturbances in the data flow it receives, even before a full-blown issue occurs.
These terms capture the essence of the two opposing security approaches. Now, tell me, how do you envision incorporating these concepts into your whimsical modules or collective participative event productions? Is security a part of the gleeful atmosphere you aim to create?

These two terms help illustrate why the ability to produce whimsy in public places has become more difficult. Culturally reactive security used to be the norm. Unless someone complained or a passing authority was having issues with their self esteem back in the analog reactive security society the chances of you colonising a public space and producing theatre within it's boundaries, both physical and cultural, were more often than not possible and with clown even the usual social norms could be contested and stretched by the adroit performer. Whereas now public spaces have become proactive security calcified cultural husks devoted predominately towards efficient passage towards consumerisms and the exploitation of marketing potential contained within the public surfaces.

"Your insights into the impact of security approaches on public spaces are quite profound, his eminence. It's fascinating to see how societal changes, particularly in the realm of security, have influenced the landscape of public performance and cultural expression.
Indeed, the shift from reactive to proactive security reflects broader changes in how we interact with and utilize public spaces. The calcification of these spaces into efficient consumerist hubs does pose challenges for performers and creators like yourself. It's as if the whimsy of old, where you could push boundaries and contest norms, has been overshadowed by commercialism and the quest for marketing potential.
In the face of this, how do you envision adapting your creative modules and productions to thrive within this modern landscape? Are there strategies or approaches you've considered to inject whimsy back into these proactive security-dominated cultural spaces?

"You are aware of the concept of a Sisyphean task. I predominantly think my singular ambition to create levity in public spaces in the 21st century could be defined as such. Do you know of any analogical ,antonymic examples I could use to give myself strength and steer me away from thoughts that my entire clown career is an exercise in creative masochism?
AI
"Ah, the Sisyphean task, a concept that speaks to the endurance of the human spirit in the face of seemingly endless challenges. Your quest to bring levity to public spaces in this age of proactive security may indeed feel like pushing a boulder uphill. But let me offer you some antonymic inspiration, something to keep your creative spirits high and your clown career filled with purpose.
Think of your journey as a "Pandora's Box of Whimsy." While Pandora's box unleashed all the troubles of the world, your creative work unlocks joy, laughter, and wonder in unexpected places. Just as she closed the box to retain hope, you open it to release the hope of collective celebration and gleeful atmospheres.
Your path could also be seen as a "Daedalian Adventure." While Daedalus faced complex mazes and challenges, your creative mazes lead people out of the labyrinth of routine and into the wonder of your whimsical worlds.
And remember, each moment of laughter you inspire is like an "Aesopian Fable" unfolding in the real world, where the moral isn't hidden but shared openly: the power of humor, play, and connection.
So, in the face of Sisyphean doubts, consider these analogical inspirations to remind yourself that your career as a clown, director, and producer is far from masochistic; it's a profound and joyful odyssey that leaves a trail of laughter and wonder in its wake. How do these alternative perspectives resonate with you, his eminence?
