"The good philosophy of here and Schtitt": deLint and Poutrincourt expound the self-transcendence creed

texture · 11 Nov YDAU, doctrine voiced by deputies

• When: 11 Nov YDAU (the Hal-vs-Stice exhibition, watched by the "Steeply" profiler)
• What: Schtitt himself is largely absent (in his crow's nest); his doctrine reaches Steeply through two deputies — as printed, attributed to the actual speakers. deLint: "Schtitt's thing is self-transcendence through pain"; the point "is never about being seen," and if the kids get it "inculcated right they'll never be slaves to the statue"; "Gerhardt's teaching them to see the ball out of a place inside that can't be chewed… The man's a fucking genius." Poutrincourt: "the good philosophy of here and Schtitt" is that even the best are "doomed if you do not have also within you some ability to transcend the goal, transcend the success of the best"; "M. Schtitt, his different goal for the étoiles is to walk between these" — between needing success and making mockery of it (an explicit echo of "WE ARE WHAT WE WALK BETWEEN," event 1). Poutrincourt also relays Schtitt's account of the late Founder as "a student of types of sight." NOTE: this is doctrine expounded by deputies, not Schtitt directly — attribution kept to speaker per the contested-attribution rule.
