  • Less Than Zero Sum

    Less Than Zero Sum

    The “Suffering Bully” is a reminder that the endless cycle of competitive misery dehumanizes us. When we cling to zero-sum suffering, we alienate empathy and stifle genuine connection. True humanity flourishes through shared compassion, yet we cling to scarcity. It’s time to reject this flawed mindset and embrace our collective journey.

  • On Parallactic Entropy

    On Parallactic Entropy

    We are Riders of Entropy. The Wild West of a young Universe. Big bang, young man. Nirvana is essentially to “blow out” and there is that poetry of blowing out a dandelion Seed pod and taking a snapshot of the flecks in stasis in the photographic Heisenberg state of UNCERTAINTY. Are they spreading? Are they…

  • THE ZERO-SUM TOTAL of Self Denial

    THE ZERO-SUM TOTAL of Self Denial

    Buddhism’s soul wheel exposes a haunting truth: the Preta, or hungry ghosts, symbolize our relentless yearning in a world of scarcity. This echoes late-stage capitalism’s cruel nature, where insatiable desires imprison souls. Long before capitalism was birthed, its essence was foretold—a zero-sum game of denial and loathing affecting us all.

  • Teaching: Empowerment, Not Indoctrination

    Teaching: Empowerment, Not Indoctrination

    If I start demanding you see the world my way, I’m no better than a fascist. It is important to me that I teach you how to follow paths of logic. It is important to me that you know how to make your own paths when the well-worn ones are outdated.

  • The Semantic Hostility Of MAGA

    The Semantic Hostility Of MAGA

    “Again” highlights toxic nostalgia, urging a false greatness that never existed. America’s foundation is marred by genocide and slavery, with “great” being a subjective and distorted lens. Instead of regressing to an illusory past, the focus should be on striving for a “more perfect union” where justice prevails for all.

    We are here to make a better world

  • Wherein He Gets Out Of His Own Head

    Wherein He Gets Out Of His Own Head

    And as long as I can create something in the face of madness, I feel that I am. Things fly apart… the center cannot hold. In the personal and the global, it can feel like slouching toward oblivion. But where trauma once triggered fight or flight, I’ve found a new tool. I’ve learned to create.…

    How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Write A [_______]

    A silver lining to the thunderclouds of apocalyptic transformation is that their rains have a particular propensity to fertilize the fields of creation — a soil tilled and turned by the tectonic turbulence of an empathic existence.

    A Tale In Binary

    On Catherine and I ⚥ I am an entropy creation machine 🌊, and she is an entropy reversal system 💫. We are like the perfect pair of Hindu ॐ Dieties; we are Shiva allinone dat da . ∞ We are the yin and the yang ☯ Ororborus head to tail ⛎ T h e l…

  • Wisdom Begins At Foxwoods

    Wisdom Begins At Foxwoods

    Wonder. Wisdom begins with wonder. I wonder why my mind wanders, but wonder never wanders, leaping when it lingers. Have you ever had a new fact open your eyes to a reality that wasn’t there before? This is viral knowledge—once acquired, it becomes known and owned, carried through life like an inoculation.
