The Lie Factory
The subject’s desire, a perpetual lack, constitutes a fundamental void at the heart of the psyche. This void, a gaping maw of incompleteness, seeks incessant repletion. In the political sphere, this desire manifests as a demand for an impossible fullness, a utopian ideal that can never be attained. In its pursuit of fulfillment, it constructs an imaginary order, a symbolic edifice where the…

Tech Barriers
The barriers within the tech industry do not emerge from some inherent or natural order; rather, they are the result of a symbolic construction, carefully inscribed within the social fabric through a process akin to gerrymandering. These barriers are not neutral but are inscribed with a political logic that serves to maintain the dominance of…

The Game is Rigged but It needs More Players
In the wild and treacherous jungle of gambling, the house edge is the kingpin, the big shot with a gun in every corner. When it comes to the lottery, you’re staring down the barrel of a gun with a staggering edge—often over 30%. It’s as if the universe itself conspires against you in the most…

A certain Rigor
The humanities, a sprawling, amorphous beast, lumber through the intellectual landscape with all the grace of a mastodon in heat. While STEM, the sleek, metallic titan of academia, marches purposefully towards a quantifiable, deterministic utopia, the humanities flounder amidst a swamp of subjectivity, where meaning is a capricious, shape-shifting entity.

The Dance of Loopholes and Capital In capitalist systems, regulations are established to ensure fair competition, protect consumers, and maintain economic stability. However, these rules are frequently navigated by…

Intersectional Racism
When he does it, it’s the old-time religion, the serpent’s tongue forked and hissing in the jungle night. Bad blood, pure and simple. A virus in the bloodstream, a tumor on the soul. But when we do it, it’s a quantum leap, a fractal unfolding of consciousness. Intersectionality, they call it, a buzzword for the new age witch doctor, a mantra for the chemically lobotomized masses. When they…

Middle East as Event Horizon
The Middle East: Crucible of Eschatology The arid sands of the Middle East have long served as a metaphysical desert, a barren expanse where the world’s most potent eschatologies converge and collide. It is a region where prophecy and politics intertwine, where the divine and the mundane clash in a perpetual struggle for dominance. From the Islamic vision of…

Eschatologies are Existential dissociations.
Eschatologies are the junkie’s nod to nothingness, a cosmic cut-out, a freefall from the self into the sterile white light of oblivion. They’re the ultimate comedown, the final fix without a rush, the terminal buzz that leaves you cold and alone in the infinite waiting room. Eschatologies, those terminal dreams of a world unwound, are…
