The Prole Wars: the closing

This is the third part of my experience when visiting the demonstrations about the financial crisis. In the second episode of these reviews I pointed out to the protesters that they lacked unity, order and cohesion. They did not have a singular message to convey, but instead their protest was made up from a collection of [...]

The problem is you

The world has become small to too many people, as it’s too easy to communicate across countries for just about anyone. Blogger account? Check. Facebook posts about the travesties going on in Kashmir, in the DMZ between the two Koreas, about finally freeing Tibet from the evil Chinese government? Check. We leave behind something more [...]

Frailty, what is thy name?

In a dream, it was this morning revealed to me at long last what women are really like. So as soon as I rinsed me from my slumber, I decided to come to this website to write down the most valuable findings of my revelation. I dreamed that I was visiting some young, soft and appealing woman. [...]

The Simulacra Male

The concept of simulacra boggles the mind – a copy without an original?  How is that possible?  To put it more simply:  a simulacrum can be defined as a copy of a copy of an original or similarly, a model of a model of an original.  But still this is too abstract.  How does this [...]

Rethinking individualism

Say you walk into a building at which you’re employed. You feel businesslike – coat, computer bag over shoulder, maybe a cup of coffee or tea in hand. Others look similar and climb into the elevator with you. Buttons are pressed. Your eyes venture, but never into other eyes. Stainless steel walls in this contraption [...]

Ignoring the patterns of nature

Modern life takes effort. Just getting through to the end of the day — fighting egos and layers of management at work, then ignoring family drama, then a few hours of TV before bed — can take all you’ve got. But the last thing you need is some idiot telling you that “life is precious,” [...]

Brainslug owns you

When you wake up to this planet, you realise one thing sticking out the side of people’s heads; their thoughts are not their own but are subservient toward a domesticating agent, a memetic Brainslug. We can coalesce many ill thought out ideologies with little substance and stereotype them as Crowdism. Crowdism contains memes such as [...]

Abandoning reality

I’m just going to dive right in with this one. Here is how the mendacious semantics we are offered destroys the credibility of the liberal democratic views of our time. The following popular statements and assertions deserve exposure: blend humanity to end all conflict Implication: race is hereditary. Why then are we asked to celebrate [...]

Ignorance is bliss?

The common quote for underpriveledged brains is ‘ignorance is bliss’. This popular argument of self irresponsibility complements a complete inversion of natural order that allows them to continue feeling superior above everyone else regardless of whether it is real or not. They think that if we can invert the meaning of happiness, instead of the few achieving it, then the many can enjoy unlimited [...]

Defensiveness

Most people read something they don’t like about consumerism or social reality and immediately dismiss it so they can continue living in fantasyland. When these same people have convinced themselves that they are actually doing good for society by living in this manner, questioning them becomes a mortal sin and worthy of shouting things like [...]
