Read Quietly

No likes. No shares. No traceable applause on a professional platform.
Just reading — Enage safely, read privately, and off the professional record.

Satire needs thick skin.
But well-titled roles come with a thin-skin mandate.
The less one laughs at oneself, the more one becomes a star in the theater of performance.

And performance is what the system rewards — not reflection.
That’s why The Footnote isn’t on LinkedIn.
The ironies it carries are meant to be read, not reacted to.

Read quietly.
Let the recognition stay yours — unseen, but entirely intact.

The Backstory of the Laws

Insightful black-and-white caricature of Puneet Kuthiala, writer on influence and power, writing in a library.

The Manifesto of the Footnote

Beyond good, the sketch captures the essence of influence, power, and subtle art in a quirky artistic style.

Before the Laws Came to Be!

How performance became record, and record became law.

I. John. The Dependable.
The one who keeps the system running while it quietly runs him.

II. Johnny. The Witness.
The part of John that watches, remembers, and footnotes what can’t be said aloud.

III. Johnny. The Footnote.
Overlooked, unseen, yet essential — the quiet conscience beneath the main text.

IV. The Footnote.
An insignificant lawbook of official absurdities — where silence keeps the record honest.

V. The Laws Deciphered.
From fragments and ironies, the invisible physics of dysfunction take shape.

VI. The Laws.
Unwritten, unspoken, unbreakable — the gravity that keeps nonsense in motion.

VII. The Genesis.
How endurance became observation, observation became record, and record became law.

The Manifesto.
Read Quietly.
