Semantic Mosaicism and the Engineered Core of Stupidity We are not singular; we are distributed. Biologically, semantically, economically. What appears as a person, a message, a decision, or a system is, under inspection, a mosaicโlayered patterns of variation, drift, tension, and feedback. Yet in the global economic architecture, this mosaicism is denied. It is flattened. […]
Weโve normalized dissatisfaction. Not by accidentโby design. The architecture of digital dating apps isn’t built to resolve loneliness; itโs built to circulate it. Whatโs being optimized isnโt human connection but engagement metrics. Every swipe, match, ghost, or dopamine ping feeds a system that grows stronger the more its users stay unfulfilled. At scale, systems don’t […]
Rich people shitting on poor people isnโt news. Thatโs history. Thatโs the shape of it. Empires, estates, banks, data farmsโitโs all the same system, just re-encoded. The mechanisms changeโfeudalism becomes finance, whips become wage contracts, enclosure becomes copyrightโbut the structure doesnโt. Power aggregates. Wealth consolidates. And the people underneath are expected to be grateful for […]
Actually, this is why we can’t have nice things. In category theory, a natural transformation ฮฑ: F โ G between functors F, G: C โ D is defined by the coherence condition: G(f) โ ฮฑ_A = ฮฑ_B โ F(f) for every morphism f: A โ B in the category C. This means that it doesnโt […]
The worldโs on fire and everyoneโs selling marshmallows. Iโm sitting here, half in disbelief, half in deja vu, watching the carnival of catastrophe roll on like itโs just another Tuesday. People are making obscene amounts of money monetising distraction, denial, and dopamine, while whole populations are quietly erased beneath the algorithmic rug. Itโs not just […]
A healthy system rarely needs to shout. It grows complexity in silence, nourishes dissent without collapse, and tolerates ambiguity because it trusts its capacity to adapt. When systems become brittle, however, they begin to ossify around templatesโrubrics of deterministic, historical certainty, slogans that substitute for creative or individual thought, and pageantry that masksโand all while […]
Possibly the least comforting fact in regards to the Oval Office being two sandwiches and a sledge hammer away from becoming the Presidential rage room, is that a wide disaffection and alienated sense of abandonment that has in some measure led to this catastrophic shit show, it’s not entirely wrong. Ah, now there’s a problem: […]
On Mind (A Reassuring Perspective) We often picture the mind as something solidโa steady presence behind our thoughts and feelings. Itโs comforting to believe that there is a core โselfโ guiding everything, a firm anchor in a world that can feel uncertain. And yet, when we look more carefully, the mind turns out to be […]
Meaning does not arise from fixed points of reference. It emerges through tension: the interplay of what is defined and what is not, what is stable and what slips away. We navigate conceptual terrain that is neither a neat set of dictionary entries nor a chaotic sprawl of arbitrary signs. Instead, it is a dynamic […]
When reduced to its essence, the simplicity of global conflict is as horrifying as it is absurd.
“I’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round…” The 2024 US election is an interesting historical inflection point, quite clearly bordering on hysterical in some regards. The fuel of both political continuity and change is stochastic difference, not unity – a tough pill to swallow. A simple enough concept and yet rendered as almost […]
Engaging whole and holistic systems is a little like trying to orchestrate and sustain the infinitely complex requisite variety of a universal remote control. ๐๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ช๐ฏ/๐ข๐ด ๐ข ๐ฅ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ช๐ฃ๐ถ๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ง๐ช๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ต ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ค๐ด ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ๐ถ๐ข๐จ๐ฆ, ๐ฏ๐ข๐ณ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ค๐ถ๐ญ๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ข๐ญ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐บ๐ด๐ช๐ด: ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง๐ง๐ด๐ฆ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ต๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ช๐ด๐ฑ๐ญ๐ข๐ค๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ช๐ด ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ค๐ช๐ด๐ฆ๐ญ๐บ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ (๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ต๐บ) ๐ช๐ด ๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฅ – […]
