Getting in Touch With the Soul Again
Something has gone missing. Dead Internet theory has been decrying the lack of soul online for almost a decade. But now even the human generated content feels as aimless and just as algorithmically driven as the slop that proliferates so much of our online spaces. The heart is gone. Reason for posting and sharing something…

Artificial Apocalypse
AI is inescapable currently. Quite literally every app is introducing some sort of AI into it’s main sections. My own website admin panel now has it through WordPress which seems to have included it “out of the box” – I have no clue to which service it pings or who is footing the bill for…

Enjoy the Process
In a world teeming with AI slop one could ask, why create anything? In order to cut through the noise you’d have to do something beyond phenomenal or just make something at least amazing that appeals to the most broad audience possible.

Writing in a Post ChatGPT World
From the outset it should be said that I use ChatGPT pretty much daily and think it is an amazing piece of technology set to change the course of human history (as if it hasn’t already done so). But now the act of putting thoughts to paper in my own often grammatically dubious and bumbling…

Solarpunk
What started as pure aesthetic has become social underground with books and manifestos building an optimistic ideological movement providing much needed hope for the future.

What if There is Nothing After?
What if there really is nothing after? You close your eyes, fall off your perch and then, nothing. No more sense of self, no Valhalla, no pearly gates, or even the eternal torment of hell. What happens to your values if it turns out there is no weighing of hearts against feathers, no ledger of…

AILS: Capitalism
Assumptions Before I began my quest to learn about one of (if not the) most prevalent economic systems in the world, I had some very specific ideas about what capitalism was. Firstly, I thought that capitalism’s main aim was to redistribute wealth amongst the population. Secondly, I thought it was the only market based economic…
