The infinite is an idea we return to not because it resolves questions, but because it resists resolution. We surround it with language, belief, argument, and ritual, attempting to stabilise what cannot be fixed. There are no receipts for the purchase. Any infinity exceeds its description, regardless of how carefully the conceptual scaffolding is constructed. […]
Spiritual transcendence cannot be reduced to correction or condescension. Those modes arise from insecurity, not from clarity. The very attempt to codify or delimit transcendence—as text, doctrine, or law—inevitably transforms into contestation and tribalism. Interpretations evolve, become weapons or scaffolds, and authority often rests less on essence than on the sediment of arguments layered across […]
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 […]
He walked with his head tipped back, eyes pressed into the wide blue, clouds dragging their shadows across him like indifferent hands. The paddocks on either side were brittle with grass, and the orchard ahead leaned heavy with fruit. Apples, not just apples, he thought—each one a record of chance, a refusal to collapse. He […]
Exploring the intersection of psychoanalysis, negative theology, and the distributed nature of semantics presents a fascinating and complex intellectual challenge. Here’s how these fields might intersect and provide deep insights: The intersection of these disciplines invites us to consider the profound complexity of existence, where understanding is not just about what is present and known, […]
Sometimes we see ourselves as separate and isolated from a world which asks (or as often, demands) of us that we be or become these separate nodal trees as labelled identities and alienated decision-machines of consumption and compliance to fuel the swirling, rolling, tumbling chaos and confusion that our cultures and Global civilisation represents and […]
A rare moment of clarity: I realise that I’m not going to be here forever, that my own transient, anxious and caffeine-fuelled path through life is, has been and will forever be completely meaningless if I do not in some small way make this world a better place and room for improvement quite clearly exists […]
The truth, or at least a truth, is that the systems that we recognise as life or living are only really a sub-set of a much larger and distributed range or spectrum of entities and artefacts. Where we assert significance to the overtly and materially self-contained aspects of any particular living system, this is as […]
We assert aspirations to self-control, to self-determination and free will through the multiplicity of options and variables or combinatorial dimensions and degrees of freedom available to us but even as we assert control, it slips away. There are logical enigmas in rationality, in psychology and in the effervescent, autonomously self-propagating information systems that we inhabit […]
