Instagram does not only generate dissatisfaction, it thrives on it.
Minority Report
It requires humility to acknowledge that your own ostensibly unique personality, conceptual vocabulary and social self-expression might be little more than a contingent recombinatory node of meaning in a dancing landscape of shifting patterns, linguistic fields, meanings and concepts.
An Unconscious Narrative
Unconscious and unacknowledged, the true power of narrative lies in the self-propagating autonomy it expresses – above and beyond any putative human control. We do not own the stories and meanings through which we live so much as they own us but an essential dissimulation of reflexive psychological self-definition endlessly fails, and is foundationally unable, to recognise this fallacy.
United Nations of Emptiness
The only way that systemic unity can exist is, enigmatically, by not existing.
Human Intelligence 2.0
A characteristically long and wordy waffle on the topic of human intelligence, the cognitive hyper-extension of technology, an iterative fracture of grand narrative into abbreviated artefacts, unconscious biases and a Global turn towards authoritarianism.
Darkness and Light
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.
Fear of the Dark
Afraid of the Darkness that the Other and the Unknown represent, we inscribe this upon ourselves, into ourselves.
Self-Replication
Self-replication. Surely this is what life is all about.

Sometimes the most profound truths (or at the very least – facts) emerge not from what does exist, but from what does not.
Death
Death. Life. Mortality. Absence. Emptiness.
Lend me your ears…
No one is listening.
