1. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tqgHUCCcG_M?feature=shared So, as the years have gone by, I’ve basically stayed the same with practically no changes at all in any way, not in my thinking, style, appearance, just grew up physically but not since last being here. Even so, I have a perpetual sense of not only everything “getting worse”, but me, “getting […]

Back in the day, people looked to priests, teachers, philosophers—real people—for answers about life, truth, meaning. Now? We’re asking TikTokers, YouTubers, and even ChatGPT what’s real. We follow “gurus” who drop daily hot takes, let algorithms tell us what to watch, and trust AI to give us the “truth” in a neat little paragraph. It’s […]

Deleuze and Guattari describe this as escaping the stratifications of identity and control, blending into the flows of life, and becoming part of something larger, something ungraspable.

In the early centuries of the Common Era, a profound synthesis of ideas emerged. Gnosticism—a movement both spiritual and philosophical—absorbed influences from the East, the Jewish mystical tradition of the Qabala, and the structured metaphysical system of Platonism. It was a collision of worlds, ideas woven together in an attempt to explain the duality of […]

The remainder, in Baudrillard’s sense, becomes the hidden and inescapable flaw in the vision of control espoused by the Silicon Valley elite and embodied in the rise of Trump. It is the excess, the chaos, the fragments of humanity that refuse to be assimilated into the perfect systems of optimisation and simulation. For Curtis Yarvin […]

In the early hours of a cold November morning, somewhere in the archives of an old library, a scholar flips through a brittle, yellowed manuscript. The pages whisper secrets of long-dead gods, their names half-forgotten but their essence still lingering in the air. The scholar pauses, eyes tracing the lines of an ancient invocation to […]

My most recent acquisition was an elephant sculpture toy from the thrift store for 2.99 CAD, and I picked up a soccer ball left on the side of the road which caused a big conflict that made my chest hurt abd body ache from the stress involved with the argument about that ball that I […]
