I’m not sure if it’s the onslaught of constant information, or the general *waves hand around emphatically at everything* the general cooked nature of the world at the present moment. Everything seems so set. Maybe I’m finally hitting the realization that my late thirties are upon me and that really there isn’t much mystery left…
I have been looking for a while to where I fit in on the political landscape. There is so much dogma and rigidity around the camps as they currently exist. Marxist Socialists or Pluralist Liberalism, Anarcho-Humanist or Enlightenment Rationalist. None of these really fit, like a shirt whose sleeves are too long or the mid…
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 has been twisted and warped into a clamouring for views, likes, duets, reposts & remixing. Above all the motive of being able to sustain yourself through shit posting has taken even those with enough means already, like certain tech billionaires, down to play in the muck.

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…
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…
The premise is pretty simple, what if we could press the undo button for DNA related aflictions. It’s a sound theory but whether it would actually work or not is questionable. The possibilities!This particular train of thought was mostly born from thinking about cancerous cells, which grow out of control due to a minute mutation…
I haven’t written here for a while, not for the lack of will or giving at least a genuine if feeble effort. I’ve become stuck posting anything by the trap of it “being worth sharing”. Which is exactly the opposite of the reason for this blog! This is space exists solely to allow my personal shower…
