Bruce has some memorable scenes, and I suppose he really was enough of a bad player to recite Asian nonsense in Carlos’s home movies. I hope someday someone finds that footage! Do you think Soledad might have looked for it?
I find it admirable how diplomatic Carlos was about the Asian fake magic. I suppose by that time Howard had already gone beyond the “prefaces” of acupuncture, and yet he still got greedy and clashed with the IOBs, and then ended up saying that Carlos “Carlos went bad”.
What a shitty mess —but Tony was even worse, going so far as to invent that Carlos had copied Tensegrity from Howard Lee. And that only makes Tony and Howard lazy and greedy “nahuales”, proving this SubReddit right with every “ball of light” they sell, never going much beyond pandiculations and meditative states.
So, I have no reason to be diplomatic with them, there are no home movies involved and this path is without nahual blows, with IOBs and under S.K.’s leadership. But I also don’t want to be too rude to Howard—he might even be the “saint” who, through his greed, motivated Carlos’s IOBs to create this path forward.
