The Universe Doesn't Have an "Edge"

This is one of those posts that will make people think I’m crazy. But I am here to solve a problem that German philosopher Immanuel Kant neglected to address. Namely, the answer to the question, “Why do all people experience time and space if time and space are supposed to be mental attributes rather than physical properties?”

The Second World War was also a philosophical war. It was a war between German Idealism and Anglo(-Saxon) Materialism. The Germans believed the world was "will and represen...

Book Presentation: Atonement for the Shadow [briefing #33]

I am publishing a new book. My paid subscribers will receive a PDF and EPUB link in a few days.

Synopsis

Hikers atop a snowy mountain discovered a dead man inside a trekker's tent, clutching a diary in his frozen hands. In a series of undated entries, Atonement for the Shadow is the psychological account of a man’s journey from suicidal beginnings to his ascent as Death's Champion. The frozen man’s thoughts reveal sometimes dark insights about society and the self.

Eating the Poor: Western Nations Are Going Bankrupt [stream #91]

From time to time, I can sense that the economy is taking a downturn. This affects only working people and those with small savings. For the financial elites, it can be beneficial to plan massive new infrastructure projects, like bridges crossing channels and seas. But do the jobs created really add to the well-being of common people? Or are we cannibalizing our economy and digesting ourselves?

An increasing number of young people, even—or especially—those who have managed to start a family, are ...

Overcoming Speech Repression in Europe [stream #90]

Western ruling classes appear more interested in going after people for wrongthink and so-called hate speech than in improving their people’s material fate. Have our ruling elites perhaps started buying into their own propaganda, trapping themselves inside the echo chambers of their creation?

The power elite have unmoored from reality. Barely holding on to lofty feel-good ideals of equality, safety, or diversity, they compensate for their diminishing relevance. It’s so much easier to tell a good...

Air

A track I produced, full of sound. I suppose it's synthwave, could be synthpop if it had vocals. Inspired by M83. I wanted to create something almost orchestral with a fun, varied final chorus, hence the fire trumpet and the chorus.

The Purpose of Our Movement [briefing #32]

We know that personal growth is the most important form of wealth. These societies that have stifled our growth for too long cannot and will not serve us. Our purpose, then, is to overcome this state of suffering that is leading nowhere. We weren’t born to suffer a life of inaction. We shall act in our best interests to overthrow the chains imposed upon us by the ruling classes. Our movement is a counter-revolutionary movement that will beat back suffering. We shall overcome the times and win ba...

When the Great Thinkers Disappoint You, You Embrace Common Sense [briefing #31]

A bit of a philosophical insight for you, today. I discuss why German thinker Martin Heidegger disappoints because some of his insights are just peasants’ wisdom encoded as “academic philosophy”. I point out that Heidegger’s distinction between practical thinking (which he denounces as “unthinking”) and more meditative states of thinking (which calls “thinking”) are really the difference between more technical and practical-minded thoughts of men, versus the more generalist and more meditative t...
