Mankind thus inevitably sets itself only such tasks as it is able to solve, since closer examination will always show that the problem itself arises only when the material conditions for its solution are already present or at least in the course of formation.Karl Marx, A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy Ultimately, the … Continue reading Happiness among the Miserable

Affidavit of Civil Noncompliance with Biomedical and/or Transhuman Alteration
In the course of human history, the reaching of a mass consensus, especially when achieved in sudden urgency, has far more often presaged colossal errors than uniform correctness. All mass advances in reason, logic, and practicality which stand the test of time, rather than relying upon the cheap crutches of peer pressure, groupthink, and Presentism, … Continue reading Affidavit of Civil Noncompliance with Biomedical and/or Transhuman Alteration
The Metaphysics of COVID19
(My last post on the subject, for those who are sick of it---no pun intended). Please forgive the unconventional structure, but its piece-by-piece approach seemed to me the only way to avoid glossing over things that I find passé which may be crucial new information to some. By the end, my conclusion as to what … Continue reading The Metaphysics of COVID19

In other words, they are there to serve a purpose … Continue reading Form to Imperative to Dialectic
Frantic Novelty vs The Inner Child
If I had to contrast myself with the time I'm living in (always a difficult & rather vain thing to do), I would have to settle upon the fact that I more-or-less remember who I was as a child and feel that person is with me still.
