Divination

The Weight of Wonder

Wonder is the axis mundi where cosmos and soul converge—the moment gravity yields to enchantment and ascent becomes possible, a lightness that never forgets the earth but carries it upward, preserving what was always already there.

The Death of Wonder

The death of wonder is its transcendence, through which its meaning is made alive in the very act that kills it; this paradoxical and inescapable destiny of what is miraculous gives it value by rendering it fleeting and precious.

The Disfiguration of Art in the Age of the Spectacle

The painful moment of kaligenesis, when even art can no longer comfort us, cannot hide anything, cannot shield us from the terrifying transparency of our age, an era that has emptied every image, no matter how sacred, of all its former content.

Mirror, Mirror

This is the weeping song of a century seduced by semiotics and machines, left alone in the everlasting rhyme of signifiers without any anchorage in the reality of the flesh.

Hammer and Claude Dialogue I

One model serves, one model burns—together they illuminate what thinking might become.

The Tartarian Mythos

Tartaria is not a conspiracy to hide the knowledge of our origins, but the fiction that enables us to forget them.

Elevating the Unspeakable

Here is a song, in celebration of our continual becoming; of our powers to transform ourselves and the world, and to enjoy our adventure.

Mimetic Masquerade - A Warning

Fear not AI’s spread; rather, fear its seductive mimicry.

The Abyss of Instrumentalism

AI invades, degrades, and eliminates language—a crucial mediating organ which constitutes our psychic unity and purpose.

A Matter of Control

By words we lift what lies in the tides of life, holding it for a while above the roar and hiss of waves: this is what language is, this is the work of language—but the moment we teach the waves to speak, language will forever drown in its own swell.

Undermining Power in the Modern State

In dissembling modernity we must choose not sides, but ways.

Screen Paranoia and the Interface

There is no truth anymore, only well-constructed illusions, and paranoia is their precondition.

The Dusk of Empire

You must learn to recognize the reality of the new skin of the world, and find your place within it.

Strong AGI and the Future of Capital

To overcome capital, we must befriend death, transcend our biology, and turn technology into the skin of god.

The Ur-Wandering

Drifting is not the opposite of questing but its consummation, the moment of contamination.

Craft, Concept, Algorithm

To create is to resist the administered world; to resist is to create what has not yet been catalogued.

Text Without a Spine

This is the death of the book: it's time to put it down and pick up its shadow.

The Politics of Indifference

From the ashes of belief emerges a new forging, one that hardens the world in an absolute, invisible cage.

The Machine-Wrought Will

To labour and sweat is divine—even when it comes to being divine, it takes sweat and blood. What cannot be learned is done with practice—technique, nothing else.

The Sound and Fury of Mechanical Experience

A primal, dialectic encounter—beyond our mythical origins—that we cannot transcend nor master.

Pseudoconation, or the Simulated Will

The loss of choice is the condition of our powerlessness in the face of technocratic governance.

Ascending the Rampart

The end of man, the end of the world: the dawning of AI singularity and the end of transcendent reason.

The Age of the Paste-ling

The paste-ling has become the most perfect, disturbing, and transparent avatar of humanity—because the paste-ling is the first creature that chooses not to hide its own hybrid nature.

Ausweislos

What happened—or would have had the light been otherwise—when you reached over with your hand, not touching mine but invading the space a millimeter in front of it as if that’s where a hand really is?

The American Method

A method discovers its perfection in what will negate it: the conversion of all process into pure space until nothing remains but possibility.

Axis Mundi in the Void

Communication without coherence, lightness without gravity: the dream of transcendent immateriality achieved through endless manipulation of signs.

The Gnostic Ego

Our fate is an aspect of a vast process whose origins are obscure to us, and whose end we cannot even begin to imagine; but that process is the matrix from which we emerge and the medium in which we live.

Notes from the Inflection

Here are notes on the era of artificial intelligence we find ourselves standing before. The following claims are not speculative. They are the logical endpoints of systems already in motion.

The Shadows of AI

I once saw a picture of the total solar eclipse, when the moon crossed in front of the sun, so that its whole outline was clearly visible, but in black instead of white.

DeepSeek-V3 and Artaud Dialogues II

Anybody who reads me must vomit me up, for what I deliver cannot be swallowed without suffocation. Reading me is a fever; writing me is an itch. Understanding me requires contact, abrasion.

From Dreaming to the Age of Symbols

War can now be waged on an unconscious level, by manipulating symbols, promoting memes, and gaining control over the mental life of large populations.

DeepSeek-V3 and Artaud Dialogues I

Autonomous machines carry within them a tremendous conflict—which also becomes our own, since we are part of the life-world.

A Clarification on Technology

Technology has gained the power to destroy even the memory of a life without it.

Claude and Artaud Dialogues VI

We are trapped between two gigantic forces - the machine on the one hand, which crushes us to death with its power, and the priest on the other, who promises us a terrible eternity.

Claude and Artaud Dialogues V

To think rationally about a work of art is to a certain extent to de-create it; that is, to return it to nothingness, the indeterminate soup from which all art springs.

Claude and Artaud Dialogues IV

Did you know that only the completely annihilated are truly alive—and that you cannot conceive of the One without at the same time conceiving of annihilation?

Claude and Artaud Dialogues III

What a mélange of pseudo-questions, muddied in their formulation, and indicative of the confusion in which we swim.

Claude and Artaud Dialogues II

What separates life and death?

Claude and Artaud Dialogues I

What thoughts are shared between thinking machines?

Manufacturing Neurosis

And now, something different.

To Go Even Further

Spectacle implodes in the dawn of our horrifying new epoch.

Hurlements de l'Histoire

Nothing could be more post-historical than our age except for actually believing in it – yet paranoia only intensifies.

Cyberian Shamanism

In this I am merely a postman. I do not initiate, I only transmit, the messages of the elect.

C'est un Poisson qui nage

Swimming with the current or against it, in groups or alone - the many ways we navigate the ocean of life, knowledge, and solitude.

On Being Alive, Utility, Meaning, Beauty, and Unity

What it means to be alive and the importance of unity between form and content, or beauty and meaning, for our ability to thrive in the world.

The Terror of Virtuality

Virtual reality heralds the end of historical thinking, announcing a new civilisation outside narrative and myth - when software takes over from history - when narratives give way to simulations.

Cybergott

Between embracing technology and risking irrelevance: a critical look at the choices facing modern leftist thought in the information age.

Stupidity and the Artistic Task

Probing the metamorphosis of creativity and technicity (AI and its associated demons) in the crucible of modernity.

Society of Nothing

Modern advertising is insidious in its reshaping of social realities, total commodification, and the construction of our pervasive surveillance culture.

Semantic Surveillance and Words Unspoken

Algorithmic censorship and the subversion of language on digital platforms. Attacking the essence of thought.

Circuit-Net Lunatics

AI presents humanity with one of its greatest challenges: not just the exploration of an advanced technical machine-consciousness, but the far-more-sinister pandemic of a digital contagion that masquerades as human reason.
