life, death, and the fear of true love

i live my life in constant fear not of loss i accept that as readily a star going supernova, in the corner of a galaxy as the morning dew or the summer’s twilight blue but of death this I fear more than anything that in sleep when my guard is down the panthers hyenas devils … Continue reading life, death, and the fear of true love →

The art of questioning: A complete set of predictions for 2023

I would like to give a systematic set of predictions — some general and abstract, some more precise and concrete — for the coming year. I make predictions not principally to make a ‘prophecy’ about the future. Rather, I wish to test, in a very loose way, my analysis of the present by extending current … Continue reading The art of questioning: A complete set of predictions for 2023 →

Youth

The vibrant colours of childhood grow into the dull monotones of adulthood. What was is now lost, and what remains is a pale, horrifying imitation of what was. Light in the dark. Only one thing can free us from this living death — The energy of youth. A new beginning. Begin?

The end of eternity: Times probably aren’t that bad, though they aren’t that good either

Every age can’t be worse than the previous one — or at least, it can’t be worse than all the other ages before then. Well, it can — it’s just very unlikely. Neither is it likely to be much better, much worse, or much the same. By the Copernican Principle, according to which human beings … Continue reading The end of eternity: Times probably aren’t that bad, though they aren’t that good either →

Words Do Not Cause Evil

I have been told to be cautious with words. But why? Words are not deeds, at least in the simple meaning of the term. They are not even remotely like what goes by the name of deeds. Deeds, as are commonly understood, have clear intentions and clear consequences — physical consequences. Words have no clear … Continue reading Words Do Not Cause Evil →

Blackpink’s Born Pink — baroque/hip hop fusion is born

For someone who previewed their own upcoming album Born in March this year, with a live medley From Bach To Born, I could reasonably claim to be unsurprised by Blackpink’s album Born Pink. It is everything I have been saying about pop music for a while, but I didn’t know the future would come this … Continue reading Blackpink’s Born Pink — baroque/hip hop fusion is born →

Tenet, trade, and time

I have previously analysed the film Tenet from two angles: political economy, and philosophy. I have viewed the film through the lens of István Hont’s Jealousy of Trade, on the one hand, and the prism of Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time, on the other. Now I would like to consider Tenet as a totality: through … Continue reading Tenet, trade, and time →
