Gram the Grownup #11 Martin Burckhardt

You can use any materials you want on him, in addition to these:

English wiki. I'll add info from the German one soon.





This is the only item on his yt favorites list. For some reason it wasn't viewable on the board when I linked it from there; fortunately I found it on another channel.

Our typing is [sx/sp] 5w6(4w5)-3w4(2w3)-1w9(2w1). Vulcan polymath gentleman and scholar heartthrob. I'm really not sure of the stacking range.

Anthony and Vincent both said he was sx/SP but I thought he was much higher sx. I actually thought a lot of his unusualness came from the polarity between the triple competency and high sx. If he's not at least midstream 'Mesmerizer', why is he such a 'Hungry Ghost'? Here, for instance, in the video below, when he talks about the end of the gold standard and advent of the illusion of money. Yeah, of course he's talking about 'sp stuff' (money) but he could be proposing marriage to us with his hand on his heart, reciting a romantic poem. To me he always seems like he's 'seducing' (Typewatch name for SX/sp is 'the Seducer'). I mean, it would be different if he were an actual 5w4 instead of 5w6(4w5) or if he had an actual 4 fix (instead of 3w4), but he apparently does not. So why does he seem like such a lovelorn lacerated poet--and why the planet-wide search for the soul mate in TwinKomplex if sx/SP puts the sx focus on something other than one person?

I could even see him being SX/sp with sx so high it's just coming out of so/sx and that's why his concerns in general are so societal, so about Humanity writ large. And the truly archetypal Vulcanism (5wSIX, 3wFOUR, 1wNINE) pulls him straight into analyzing the pragmatic limitations of modern environmentalism and then the cutting edge of sustainable new building materials--while titling such analyses The Inertia of the Heart.

And why does he talk like a whisper in the wind?

Of course I'm willing to consider sx/SP but then, given the archetypal Vulcan of tritype, how did he get to be him? It seems like he's seducing and seduced by Humanity itself, our entire history and future's lover, as though we were all one person, which is different from being a sx/SP 'Wanderer'. And every single historical person he mentions, it's like they're right there with him as The Other in that moment.

And let's not forget he began as a musician (and I found out last night he actually studied theater and literature in college). And that TwinKomplex trailer...

btw if you keep clicking on subtitle options in this video you can choose English but I'm finding them hard to read so haven't yet. But for stacking purposes, it may be just as well.

"What inspired you to make TwinKomplex?

The initial moment was a day at the cemetery where the question arose: What if the space of a computer game is not the virtual world (all of these fancy levels, populated by orcs and elves), but our reality".
