Operation Shylock
Doppelgänger stories—like a parasite you can’t shake. Mirror Image/Double Identity—what’s staring back at you in the cracked bathroom mirror? Not you. Vertigo, Fight Club—it’s all a funhouse reflection, and maybe you want to smash it. Evil Twin—think The Man in the Iron Mask, where one brother takes the throne while the other festers behind bars.…

NATO’s Two Bit hustles
NATO’s a two-bit hustle, baby, masquerading as global protector—an old-school patriarchy racket. Think of it as a high-rise corporate pimp: suits on top, chaos underneath. They sell you security, but they’re the ones dangling the knife at your throat. Make a mess in your backyard, blame it on the neighbors, and come in with the…

In Defense of Bullying
Starring Peter Coyote The scene opens on a dimly lit stage, styled like an old-school 1970s educational video. Peter Coyote sits at a desk, calm and thoughtful, looking directly into the camera. Behind him, a projector hums softly, casting images of playgrounds, classrooms, and various scenes of bullying. Peter Coyote (voice calm, wise): Good evening,…

The Sacred Composables and the Shrugging of Genocide:
Jesus Christ, I thought the acid had finally kicked in when I first saw it. There, scrawled like the fever dream of a tech-bro shaman who’d binged too much DMT, was a new commandment. Something that felt lifted from the bowels of Silicon Valley’s most unholy boardroom meetings—a declaration that took a jagged turn off…

Doppelgänger
The Zone was all wires and rot, a place where the buildings sagged like the bones had been sucked out, where people’s faces blurred, like the heat had warped their features into something barely human. A place where reality skipped like a bad film reel. Jack Tully pulled his collar up against the sting of…

Hyperreality is Thinning Out:
For decades, we’ve lived in a world that is less and less rooted in reality and more in layers of hyperreality—constructed narratives and illusions carefully pieced together by media, corporations, and political forces. But now, in an age where every person carries a camera in their pocket and can broadcast the world’s raw, unsanitized messiness…

Entanglement theory is contrary to all libertarian tenets
Entanglement theory spits in the face of libertarian delusions, shattering their fantasy of pristine individualism. Turns out, the universe doesn’t give a damn about your “personal autonomy”—everything’s tangled in an invisible web, whether you like it or not. While libertarians preach self-reliance, quantum mechanics laughs and reminds them that no one, not even a particle,…

Robots with Passion: How Creators, Platforms, and the Lizard Brain Redefine Creativity
In the digital age, creators have become central to the success of platforms like Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Yet, many of these creators would not pass the Turing test, a benchmark for determining whether artificial intelligence can imitate human intelligence to the point of being indistinguishable from a real person. Their content often feels robotic,…

Star Wars/Deleuze Guattari
To speak of Star Wars themes and machines like into Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophical concepts, we can draw on their ideas of assemblages, lines of flight, desiring machines, multiplicities, and the concept of the Body without Organs (BwO). The universe of Star Wars can be viewed through the lens of these dynamic forces and virtual…
