#DearSurkov / #DearPutin / Kremlin

I don't know why Surkov stopped working with Putin, why Putin sidelined Surkov. I do know that Surkov has insight into the #MonoMyth and seems to have "cracked the monomyth" story pattern without using or referencing James Joyce's Finnegans Wake.

I suspect that Surkov had one goal in mind, what methods of getting people to pay attention worked best. How to get groups to behave when directed, and came into the pattern of the monomyth. It isn't as if Hollywood

never heard of the MonoMyth. Luke Skywalker was put right on the cover of reprints of Joseph Campbell's 1949 book "Hero with a Thousand Faces". But Surkov had an iterative approach of interacting with the domestic population, people in groups, of Russia and #AlmostZero book frames public relations on a scale of experience and puzzle-pieces.

I think Surkov discovered the monomyth on his own. Through experience directing people and seeing the results. But eventually one starts to see what

Howard Bloom describes in his book "The Muhammad Code", published in 2014 (?). Terrorism.

When you start feeding a society ("group thinking", "mob mentality") patterns of messages and symbols as Surkov was directing from the Kremlin - and they are negative in oriented, people become team-oriented and competitive for bad things. Terrorist group vs. warlord vs. terrorist group. What Joseph Campbell in 1987 "Power of Myth" called a "Monster State". But it is worse, you can't turn it around.

Hollywood screenplay writers, smart and introspective people, do not delve into Finnegans Wake itself. There is a whole circle of film and TV storytelling they pass around in Hollywood creative circles, and among novel writers looking to create multi-book stories like Lord of the Rings, etc - but they never mention James Joyce and Finnegans Wake, do they? They know of Marshall McLuhan, they know of Joseph Campbell, but they never HEAR McLuhan & Campbell BOTH POINT to James Joyce, Finnegans Wake.

#SurkovOutcome - Surkov, I don't want this job. I don't want to use my shitty writing and organization broken mind to try and put together this puzzle that you unleashed on the world. But I don't think anyone realizes just how powerful your work was, what your books are saying. I don't think Surkov has been given the credit for the talent that has been shown. Not by Putin (Surkov's "management" of the Kremlin) or by those on the receiving end of the payloads. But man, this shit is scary as hell.
