Polarize: this & other defining elements of the new obstruction

Disclaimer:
Despite this document being the defining article for the new obstruction, it is not necessarily an example of it.  & sure, there are also intelligent arguments for the contrary.
In addition:
The phrasing used to explain the new obstruction is nothing new, only it's context.  The new obstruction is pretty much a name used to define similarities of experience outside of context.  It can only be understood through extemporaneous interpretation.  If you're trying to reread this sentence you don't get it yet.  Communication.

Content:
A significant purpose of this document is to reiterate the words, "the new obstruction," – nothing more.  The more it is reiterated the better thenew obstruction is defined.  There is a threshold for this.  In all liklihood, you are ruining the new obstruction for posterity just by reading this and attempting to put it into context.  Please stop.  You'll get nowhere good.

If you're especially clever, your mind may start to wonder.  "How is the new obstruction different from post modernism?" you may ask, especially if you've taken a 200 level college course in the late 1990s or early 2000s.  Well, here's the thing: the phrasing used to describe the new obstruction is nothing new, only it's context.  The new obstruction is pretty much a name used to identify similarities of experience outside of context.

Users predict what the new obstruction will be.  A certain percentage of the time they are wrong.  The new obstruction is riddled with fear, risk and doubt.  Its only certainty is misinterpretation – obstruction.  This title defines the opposite of its characteristics.

The new obstruction is characterized by connection not agreement.  You can find examples of the new obstruction in any reaction.  Anticipating reaction is a foolish way of fucking it up.  Don't cheat your eyes down the page, we'll get there when we get there.  It can only be understood through extemporaneous interpretation.  If you're trying to reread this sentence you don't get it yet.  Go ahead, keep cheating your eyes down the page, think I give a damn?  You're only ruining it for yourself.  Look.  Look, stop worrying, you're very smart.  Communication.

In artistic contexts, the new obstruction may be misinterpretted as the lucrative avante gard, successful cult classics or even art itself.  Examples of the new obstruction may be similar to these things, they do not define it.  The new obstruction is three words: the new obstruction.

The new obstruction is always ahead of its time, except, of course, when it is understood.

The new obstruction is chemical & physical.  Does that help any?

Realizations from the new obstruction will repeat.  They will also reproduce and cease.  The new obstruction is either on or off.  You either get it or you don't.  Polarize.
