There is darkness and there is light in every life.

Own your own emptiness
We are all empty, don’t let the shambling leviathan of commercial culture make you feel less than you are, feel worthless or unvalued and unloved.
Death
Death. Life. Mortality. Absence. Emptiness.
Blind Chance
Good fortune or success may be more often a matter of statistical probability than of human intention or intervention.
Between Life and Death
Life is commonly considered as antithetical to death but in some ways, there may be a common ground and source between them.
Conceptual Homeostasis
Does the social (and psychological) context of science and technology fundamentally inhibit the free exploration and development of new modes of thought ?
The non-linear cognitive flexibility and diverse conceptual vocabulary required to describe the complex problem-space of environmental and ecological complexity is also the heuristic practise with which we might seek to successfully address it.
Is it possible to genuinely acknowledge or effectively disentangle the diverse patterns and consequences of environmental disruption without also simultaneously addressing the core epistemological shortcomings of human cognition, of human nature ?
Cultivating Innovation
Sociological, psychological and economic systems are poorly optimised to cultivate or acknowledge the forms of innovation and creative thinking that their existence in the world depends upon.
An Autonomous Science ?
The unfolding patterns, exploratory revelations and emergent complexity of Artificial Intelligence may not ultimately reveal itself to be as useful to us as we (and all our aspirations) turn out to be to it.
Ephemeral Beauty
The most beautiful things we ever experience are made all the more beautiful by their utter transience, impermanence and fleeting nature in time.
Logical Insight into Living Systems
Subjecting our concepts of self and world to radical reconfiguration and a creative recombinatory metamorphosis is a certain path to cultivating insight, innovation and discovery.
