Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not a truth.

Praxis Paralysis
I have been feeling a fair bit of #praxisParalysis over the last two years. Honestly I can’t believe it’s been that long since my last upload. Man how times change in such a short span. The more I learn, the harder it seems to see the path forward that lifts humanity out of it’s current…

Old Friend
The arrival was always signaled by the splatter of drips. This time, the slow uneven squelch of congealed mud, and blood. There was often blood. Swirling to mix with the muddy pools in the tattered mess of what had once been a pumpkin farm, but had recently been tarnished by the battlefield. The sword had…

Call of the Commune
My friends and I often joke about packing up and leaving the city to buck the trend by pooling our resources for commune living.

No Language
I worry there isn’t words to describe the depth of my feelings. One four letter word isn’t enough. It feels too small, too fragile, to contain such an ache. A strand that cuts through to the very core of my soul and anchors me to you. The breadth of comfort with you, the depth of…

Knowledge is Power – Society is Weak
Never more true than today, knowledge is power. Or more aptly in today’s world the ability to provide & control the flow of knowledge is power. Recently there’s been several large course corrections occur, several years too late but hey, better late than never as the saying goes. This highlights one of the biggest and…

The Worker Bee
Do what you’re told, follow the rules, don’t over step your bounds, stay in your lane. The true cornerstone of modern enslavement to work. “We can’t all live our dreams”, why is that? Because then we’d have to change, to collectively actually think and enact a way all people could realistically achieve a base standard…
