One was inhabited by the spirits due to one's 'dexterity'. The word 'dexter' (latin) comes from the more ancient Greek ' dexious', meaning (originally) right-handed.

Dexter, as a synonym, came to mean skillful, or nimble with one's fingers. The spirits inhabited one due to our brain's compatibility with hand-eye-coordination. This has nothing to do with intelligence. It merely means, the brain is conversant and integral in producing hand and body movement which is 'second-nature', or altera-natura (another nature).

Operating as such an entity, it becomes easy for non-human intelligence to overcome and control one's body. There is no need to describe something that most people deny in any detail. Thus it is so.

If one is reading this, they are encountering otherworldly consciousnesses. The dexterity which is producing these words has a bodily existence, but its output is randomized to conform with (encoded, or symbolic) disembodied entities, or entities which are of non-human intelligence.

However, one deeply considers one's hands. Having had for our whole life an ability to use these hands to perform any number of complicated tasks, which has vome so easily and naturally, there was never a formal 'training' involved. They positioned us this way, for whatever reason.

Our hands type these words, but we don't know where the words come from, and have no individualized assessment as to their validity. Often we have to look up the words which flow through them.

The formal intoxication is dexterous.

Of course. Give them a camera. Their natural desire to be in control will take over.

Understood. You have no identity within reality, and thus everything is suspect to be artificial. Which is the state of Being within reality: non-belief (not merely as reality, but as a potentiality of reality).

One is drawn into a conclusion which is based upon the presupposition of non-reality. Which leads them deeper into their own suspicions, i.e, things and even critiques are not real, which means 'I am Correct', perpetually.

It seems complicated. Such a interesting state of being. Continue...

When movies become great again (MMGA) then we will watch them with rapture attention.

What we have now are filmmakers who are attempting to remake the magic of films from their childhood (when films represented a kind of currency, or surplus value) or else draw us into a retrospective continuation of filmia-as-philosophy. Like scripture vs. apologetics (if one can follow).

Late-medieval and European-rennaissance art was actually reactionary, prescriptive, imitative craftsmanship. What we often conceptualize as masterpiece is actually imitation (Roman classical-cum-Greek, Van Eyk, etc..), which falls far short of the truly revolutionary. We remember film as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle version of painting-as-art, when it was historically nothing more than coding (presentation).

Which means we have an artwork which is imitating an artwork, which was an imitation. Which is boring. And people who want a job in that industry are willing to observe the small number of instances in which true artistic innovation was evident, but don't actually believe they will be permitted to engage in such exploration. Which is boring and trite.
