Soooooooonn!

I have given up on trying to have concrete dates with other people involved, but the books are coming soon! … I really hope you like what I’ve done and hopefully it was worth the wait. The next books will not take nearly as long to get out because this time I was going through […]

Abstracting Divinity cover reveal!

This September I’ve been noticing a new layer to our ongoing saga of collapsing endo-idealisms. … The parents of generation X were trapped in a vise between parent endo-idealism and child endo-idealism. They were the negative image of both their parents and their children and expected to spend their lives in service to both. The […]

Self is like a bag of marbles

If life can be like a box of chocolates, surely self can be like a bag of marbles. Or a fragile spiderweb. I was having a discussion about relationships this week that reminded me of something I wanted to talk about regarding the dissolution of endogroups. We’ve talked about the evidence that endogroups are weakening […]

Weighing allegiance

The topic of the month is from a discussion on the Discord which started with the following questions: How much are the endogroups weakening? Can we say that they are all weakening? I’ve already given my opinion on that, so instead of a direct reply I have started a tool that will help us measure […]

Revolutionary hourglasses and matryoshka dolls

Revolutionary event: One in which an endo-ideal becomes the negative image for a portion of their former obedient reflectors. The times we live in are so interesting that when a revolutionary event happens, it is not even clear which revolution it is happening in. Everyone is sure but their opinions differ.

Wendy Syfret, author of The Sunny Nihilist: A Declaration of the Pleasure of Pointlessness and Sweet Nothing: How a Pointless Life Can Set You Free […]

Sorry to Bother You

Would you give up your freedom for a job, food and a bed for life? This is a question The Guardian asked in a review of the 2018 film Sorry to Bother You, one of many reviews that extolled “the nightmarish alternate reality conjured by the film”. Vulture quoted the writer and director explaining “For […]

The Creation of Me, Them and Us cover reveal!

Here is the new cover for the next release of Creation! Thank you all for helping to make this happen. The conversation I would like to expand on this month is from an Uber driver. He is of the opinion that “they” are up to something big. His reasoning is that there have been a […]

Binding Chaos cover reveal!

I’ve spent a lot of February working on formatting and layout and talking to illustrators and cover designer. My goals right now are to get all three of the current books published as soon as possible with the new covers, formatting and illustrations you have helped me get so it’s probably about time I started […]

Polarization and propaganda

The never-ending US election frenzy has created a new binary in the world that sits as uncomfortably as the old US binary of black and white and much more oddly than the older binaries of good and evil or rich and poor. The new binary is left and right, now applied globally even in places […]
