The Great Unknown
It is only an immature psychological and cultural status which seeks certainty and completion in all things and in so doing, generates endless entropy and confusion. Science has no logical endpoint.
The Hollow Men

The enigmas of human psychology and culture are writ large in the domain of Gothic fascination with darkness and death.
What is Beauty?
True beauty just is, and exists before language, thought and technology.
Desire and Fear
We are bound by fear to our Objects and fantasies of Other and Self as much as by desire and there is a complex logical undercurrent and rationale to the ways that we (enigmatically) encrypt aversion into attraction and revulsion or death into fertility and life.
