Crowded World

WE ARE LIVING IN A NEW MILLENNIUM, AND IT'S TIME FOR A REVOLUTION.

Day by day, mile by mile, the infrastructure is being laid. From east to west, pole to pole, Manchester to Malabar. Brand new possibilities, technologies and currencies.

The future is here... let's turn the world planet upside down and inside out, and then build it up again. We are Homeric heroes all, living in our own personal sagas. So let's scale the walls that enclose us, leap over the abyss... and soar into the citrine sky. We can do it together, just you and I.

Architecture & Art

CHINESE EXPLOIT architecture to enhance personal power and induce enlightenment. Marie Kondo says that cluttering robs you of your mental energy and clarity. I prefer to carry my home with me, tortoise-style, with a couple of choice micropossessions...

Crisis and Jubilee: What's happening in Russia?

Russia's spiralling into a deep crisis. It was visible before the war but now it's rapidly accelerating. And every major crisis entails mass redistribution of power, property and status. Because crisis is essentially a Jubilee🧵 pic.twitter.com/1ApEY1JRJS

Fiction

HIP-HOP IS MUSIC about music. Quention Tarantino's films are movies about movies. The Cassius Croon Implosion takes it further: it is a novel about music, films, and other novels. When I first started it, the story was intended to be an alternative future. Now it has become an alternative past, or a mad flowering of alternative realities on a parallel brane.

Cassius Croon was something of a simulated lifeform himself, in that he spent his entire life pretending to be something other than what he was just so he could bust other lifesystems open.

Grand Algorithm

ONCE UPON a time, the price of Bitcoin doubled every year. While gains are not as stratospheric, they are still astronomical.

Health & Healing

GARLIC IS A powerful antioxidant, but not as powerful as glutathione. I prefer the 1:1 blend of THC and CBD, which might soon become available to me… Cysteine could be useful too, down the distant track.

History

THE WAR between humans and Neanderthals was our first and most savage war...

Jobs

THERE ARE two major migrations transforming the world this century. The first is the movement of labor from developing to developed countries. Less well known, however, is the countervailing current of digital workers and adventurers leaving the overpriced, over-regulated global north in search of the beaches and cheap rents of the global south. Indians want to relocate to the United States of America, while Americans want to retire in Bali or Chiang Mai.

Languages & Linguistics

YOU DON'T speak a language, a language speaks you. Language is like a virus, and it has a will to life just did like we do. There are many languages in this crowded world, and they are all crowded with meaning...

Music

PYTHAGORAS CLAIMED that music was mathematical, the expression of number in sound... Drum&Bass is here to show you the way, you just need to press play.

New Economy

THE OLD economy is insolvent, and globalization is dead. Currencies are deflating, apart from the US dollar, which is hyperinflating. Thankfully, a New Economy is arising, Hakim Bey-style, from cracks in the pavement of the old empire...

Politics

EVERY ISM has been tried somewhere in the world, at some point in the past, and found wanting. Perhaps it is politics itself which is the problem, and instead of looking for another ideology, we should rather pursue anti-politics in the Nietzschean sense...

Psychology

THE FIRST and most important revolution is the inner one. Analyze yourself. When a person finally cracks, they crack along established faultlines.

Religion & Spirituality

IN THE BEGINNING consciousness, which is Brahma, awakened from the quantum foam, the original Dreamtime. Looking at the kaleidoscope of scenes that swirled around Him, Brahma collapsed the wave function, and so the first narrative commenced. Looking at Himself, Brahma became self-aware. Consciousness of consciousness beget duality, and then multiplicity...

"Prem Sai has already be born in the Mandya District in Karnataka around 27th November 2011 & he will declare his Aftar hood in 2022 & that is when Sukshma Sathya Sai Baba will transfer himself into Prema Sai and the work of God will continue..."

Shopping

IF YOU HAVE to buy something, buy an experience, instead of a commodity. Unlike material goods, experiences appreciate in value over time. I view shopping as a kind of investment: an investment in your own potential...

Travel

TECHNOLOGY HAS made the world a smaller place, and I have benefitted from that. Unfortunately, the world does not want to be small. It resents being conquered, in fact. From this perspective, it clear that Coronavirus was Gaia's revenge... or at least a warning shot. But as my panic attacks have taught me, slow travel is permitted going forward...
