Don't be fooled into a false sense of security by the fact that a worst-case climate apocalypse is intimately terrifying on a scale exceeding any story that humanity ever told itself and is so far beyond our limited experience that we more readily characterise it as myth or fiction. At the scale of disaster we…
Extinction
The utter vacuum and meaningless emptiness at the very heart of our existence is disconcerting, dissonant and it is in general the last thing that anyone wants to hear about or acknowledge. From those brief few years we may each be lucky enough to experience, we seek and weave what little meaning and purpose we…
That which we love, kills us.
That which we love, kills us. This thread of life and passing narrative or musical improvisation that we all embody - it is a self-propagating pattern of information and energy. We find ourselves serendipitously located at a point of resonance or systemic sweet spot of scale and complexity at which sentience and intelligence has invoked…
The March of the Immaterial Abstractions
A patterned liquid probability and abstract symmetry of information flow. The form and flow of this life and logical information space we inhabit is as much a matter of what we are not as what we are; we are manifestations and expressions of that life beyond us as much as that within. There exists a…
Ideological Trickery
The primary cultural purpose of the production of ideological and political difference is the continuing production (and reproduction) of ideological and political difference. The logical abstractions of information and entropy self-replication autonomously seek optimal methods of self-replication and self-propagation - through the individuated or tribal cognitive entities and artefacts of culture and communications systems. Observe…
Self-Propagating Miracles
It is the strangest thing that all of this exists. The unlikely arrival in the Cosmos of any of this human world is profound. Our world, our cultures and all of our myriad differences and similarities - it is a wonder and peculiarity in all of the vast immensity and silent, unknowing turbulence and mindless…
Amazon Inferno
The Amazon is burning and with it is going humanity's hope of holding back the worst consequences of Global climate change.
We are the Autonomous Algorithms of our own Logical Emptiness
We are the problem solvers, the bearers of an incomplete logic that in so bearing provide a propagation medium for this errant abstraction. There are two primary classes of problems that we seek to solve. The first is that of the existential variety - of food, shelter, security. This first problem set branches into the…
Self-Knowledge of Nature
We are sentient nature.
Fascism Oscillates
Extreme ideologies manifest in patterns of ebb and flow like everything else...
The Metaphysics of Climate Change
There are always things beyond the intelligible boundaries of the cognitive logic and cultural grammars within which we live.
Playing the Long-Game of Human Civilisation
The catastrophic entropy of a currently most-probable future is not the only available solution in the possibility-space of all emergent and adaptive human planetary civilisations.
