[This occured to me while watching a zombie apocalypse]} The state may try to experiment to transmute the schizoid into the paranoiac known for its conservatism and patronizing of totalitarian ideals, thus, lends it wholesale mass support for blanket security imposition (ive seen armored police cars stationed near my place, with combat ready security personnel) … Continue reading On Zombies and Schizoids

Whichever is the case, the virus imitating the rotary motion of drives without settling on a final object, or the drives imitating a virus which at first glance seems to know no telos (without purpose from the beginning), altogether symptomatically gesture the presence of a speculative attractor, an idea, for instance. In the height of … Continue reading Viral Organology
Apropos his ‘Inhuman’ essay, I found myself in partial agreement with the necessity, as he put it, to cross the cognitive Rubicon; ‘a synthetic and constructible passage’, pertaining to the journey of intelligence itself (re: compare with the epigenesis of reason ala Kant) which, however, contra Kant, aims toward the impersonal overcoming of the human … Continue reading Backread on Reza Negarestani
In his Freedom essay, Schelling attributes to the abyss of the past a certain ‘inhuman freedom’, an ‘atemporal will’ that is more previous than all formerity combined – an ‘unwritten revelation’. This abysmal origin always places being ‘in darkness’ but does so only to make a point – that this origin is possible to be … Continue reading Containable being
Covid-19 is a quantum revolution flipping phenomenological platforms, disturbing spaces in 3D to accomodate a word line in 4D perspective (as it does when it kills everyone’s expectation before killing their lungs).

There’s a lot to cover here. But the human evolution is an unfinished detective story, like who killed who. “What’s more, the discovery suggests that early modern humans were likely replaced by Neanderthals in this region (Eurasia) by around 170,000 years ago, while highlighting the importance of southeast Europe and the eastern Mediterranean in human … Continue reading Whodunit
A word present in a passage written on the primary side of the papyrus has conventionally been viewed as a Greek term that translates as “charmed” or “bewitched”. The new imaging, however, reveals that it is unquestionably another word, which translates as “enslaved”.
As I see it Sellars’s distinction between the manifest image and scientific image which he would eventually reduce to a synoptic vision of the man-in-the world[1]is comparable, at least, in method, to Schelling’s distinction between the ideal and the real.[2]In his early text (which presumably belonged to his identity-philosophy period), Schelling proposes the concept of … Continue reading A Brief on Sellars and Schelling
