Like day after night

How stories got whitewashed out of philosophy

Confucius said the most important thing was ‘rectifying names’. What did he mean?

Get me out of this damned spot

Grief is pain felt in other bodies

Remembering life before the digital age

Reading a lesson from 1800 BC

America is repeating the conquest of Western Europe, this time as a farce

It’s just the new ‘white man’s burden’, except gayer, feminized, and even carried out by colored people

The more you emit, the more status you have in capitalist society

White people need to shut the fuck up and sit this century out

was given

The life of an expat in Oxford

Your body is a temple, quarried from the stars

Ashes from ashes, dust from dust

All we are is spacedust in the wind

My personal constellations

Stick a fork in the Metaverse, it's done

How Twitter today is like a Renaissance Carnival

How I was born in the Big Bang

The new tactics of Empire

The 'dark' and 'black' nature of most reality.

That long time before time

The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

The next part of a book I'm writing.

Meditations on the self and names

The intro to the intro of a book

Grouches of the world unite

Row, row, row your boat, merrily down the mainstream

‘Minorities’ are getting the 'reigns' just in time to take the blame

Attachment to the self is the root of suffering, not the way out

How the ‘free press’ is bought and paid for.

A note from a dead future

How next-day delivery is the new opiate of the masses

Obscene profits are the greatest market inefficiency

There are more lion products on Amazon than lions in the wild

We try to teach them, but what do we know?

The age of discovery was destruction, and the Cold War ended with the worst people on top

And its continuing zombie existence, eating brains

We still have servants, we just don’t look at them

On great evil, our dharma to fight that evil, and also the deep hopelessness of it all

And how ‘The Economy’ lives and dies

For the second time in geological history, we have flown too close to the sun

Modern buildings are so shit compared to cathedrals and climates

Ding dong the Queen is dead

Just ask peacocks

What do you think majority rule means?

How asking ‘how are you?’ is both heroic and banal

When someone close dies and you’re far away
