Artificial intelligence has become the most efficient amplifier of natural stupidity ever devised. The cause is structural: mass communication systems decay toward noise and impulse, and we are now at the point where that decay becomes dangerous. Yet most are too busy chasing disposable commercial distractions to notice. Patience erodes, volatility rises, and collective intelligence […]
Humans are exceptional imitators. From infancy, neural systems prioritise social learning, language acquisition, and behavioural mirroring because copying is cheap, fast, and scalable compared to individual trial-and-error. Cultural transmission compounds this: ideas, habits, tools, symbols, and institutions propagate through imitation, modification, and re-imitation across generations. Genetic evolution provided the substrate, but memetic and cultural reproduction […]
It’s like being stranded behind a pane of glass—your mind can still build cathedrals, but you’ve lost the key to the front door. The everyday stuff—speech, reading, rhythms of social interaction—fractures. Meanwhile, the deep structures, the insights, the recursive loops of thought—they’re still there, maybe sharper. But try explaining that to someone who’s already decided […]
When psychological insecurity and political desperation convene, they generate an entangled, self-gravitational field of caricature—where “the Other” becomes a constructed antipode whose very existence is required to validate the ideological self. These manufactured simplicities thrive on contrast, feeding off the projection of weakness, danger, or impurity, so that the fragile unity of the in-group appears […]
If unity is assumed, then the only coherent approach is to work backwards from it. This is not about sentiment or abstraction but about logical necessity: if there is unity, then every relation already participates in it, and our task is to discern how those connections reproduce the whole. Unity is not an optional conclusion […]
The spiral of accelerating attention upon aggressive events and negative consequences has a tendency to reproduce itself much faster than positive, neutral or ideologically and geopolitically inconsequential acts and facts. Human brains are, for better and for worse, more precisely refined and tuned to react to (and obsess upon) the terrible possibilities and through it, […]
