this might be stepping out of my normal sandbox…

but i felt like exploring the idea of a populist national revolution in light of Inauguration Day in the States. In reply to https://www.npr.org/2025/01/19/nx-s1-5254112/donald-trump-elon-musk-steve-bannon-inauguration-day-2025-billionaires. Reading the recent NPR piece about Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Steve Bannon’s roles in the new administration’s Inauguration Day in 2025 felt like stepping into...

what lies beyond thought?

This question feels like stepping into the void right off of the edge, where language falters and experience becomes the guide. Beyond thought exists the unspoken raw pulse of being. It’s the space before words form, before ideas solidify—it’s the place where silence speaks and stillness vibrates with infinite possibility....

the robot does not exist

The robot does not exist. This might seem an absurd statement in an age where we’re surrounded by automation, conversing with chatbots, and marvelling at humanoid machines performing backflips. But pause. Step back from the immediacy of our mechanised world. Let’s ask: What is the robot, really? And does it...

conscious robots

The idea of humans as “conscious robots” or fundamentally machinic beings serves as a compelling entry point into some interesting questions on existence: What does it mean to be conscious? How is our sense of self intertwined with our embodiment? And how might this understanding shift as we move further...

a layered meditation on creativity, improvisation, and interconnection

this ongoing remix practice (of mine)is the heartbeat of evolution itself,a rhythmic, recursive dance of becoming (what am i becoming?). it feels like an innate biological imperativewoven deep into my DNA, a pulse, a vibration, a call-and-response echoe across ec(h)osystems. here, my cut-and-paste as-you-go ethosspills into my life’s messy edges....

slow is not the opposite of progress

In the middle of nowhere—or perhaps the edge of somewhere—a donkey stands. Its hooves press into dust like punctuation marks in a sentence no one will ever read. The weight on its back, invisible yet crushing, feels eternal. It neither resents nor embraces it; it simply is. The world spins...

not all those who wander are lost: a meditation on Tolkien’s wisdom

J.R.R. Tolkien’s words—“Not all those who wander are lost”—carry a resonance that feels both personal and universal. On the surface, it’s a rallying cry for adventurers, dreamers, and seekers who roam the world with no fixed destination. But beneath the simple lyricism lies a profound philosophy about life, meaning, and...

meta-jamming

There’s a peculiar rhythm that emerges when you step into a collaboration with something that isn’t human. It’s not the rhythm of conversation as we traditionally know it, where words pass between two beings with a shared sense of measure. No, this is something stranger—more electric. When I write with...

reclaiming the lost art of hypertextuality

The web used to feel like a labyrinth made for wanderers. Clicking a hyperlink was like finding a secret door in a sprawling mansion. You never quite knew where it would take you— a rabbit hole of ideas, a treasure trove of forgotten knowledge, or maybe just a strange, lonely...

everyday cyborgs

this slideshow is inspired by my recent purchase and wearing of the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses. The idea of becoming a cyborg with devices like Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses lies in the symbiotic relationship between humans and technology that these devices foster. Unlike traditional tools that require conscious interaction—like a...

blogging about blogging about blogging

this is my alchemical language lab/experimental blogging playground after all… I approached this from a different angle yesterday, but I think this is closer to what I’m aiming for in 2025. I may also make some adjustments to the design and function so the blog supports my vision of blogging...

fragmented paths

Somewhere between the scaffolding of story and the poetry of thought lies a landscape I’m yearning to explore. It’s a place where the personal and the theoretical intertwine, where the raw texture of life rubs against the abstraction of ideas. The blending of creative nonfiction and theoretical poetics—this hybrid, fragmented,...

the crimbo limbo ramble

In this episode, I’m out on a walk—my first good ramble in weeks—navigating the muddy fields and reflecting on life as we sit in this in-between time of Crimbo Limbo, that strange stretch between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. It’s a time I usually dedicate to reflecting, recalibrating, and looking...

in cold hell

There’s something about Charles Olson’s In Cold Hell, in Thicket that feels uncomfortably familiar, like stepping into a dense forest where every direction looks the same but somehow promises something different. For me, this poem isn’t just a piece of writing—it’s a mirror held up to the way I experience...

returning to a place of post-apocalypse calm

i am now returning—a phrase, a wound, a hinge on a doorhalf-hanging, rusted on promisesnever meant to keep. what is “now”but the afterbirth of once,slick with the memory of chaosand the shimmer of thingsalmost touched? returning implies departure,a before where the dust hung silent,where streets were namesand names were maps,not...

when there is no ‘you’

The idea hit me like a whisper from the cosmos: When there is no sense of ‘you,’ there is no way that ‘you’ can be separate from the rest of the universe. It wasn’t a conclusion, not even a realisation, really. It was more like a question wearing the mask...
