A DGAF’ing Generation incarnated specifically to face the apocalypse As if “Gen Alpha” wasn’t a Chad enough name for children born between 2014 to 2025 my algorithm fed me several videos this week in which they’re being called The Honey Badgers. Why? Because they don’t give a fuck. My daughter’s generation seems to have crossed the threshold of the bardo to […]
The Liminal Trickster Mystic approach to self-sabotage on algorithmic media This is not going to be another dose of substack growth hacks, tips and tricks, and advertising for my super affordable business coaching business. Neither will it be a post about how there are no tips and tricks, and you just need to work harder if you want to succeed. Instead, I’d […]
The Recommendation Algo’s are Commodifying Jung! (Part 3) Check out this banger by Carsie Blanton! (Video below) In the morning when I leave my den I moisturize with the tears of men Stir my tea with a crucifix I’m an ugly, nasty, commie bitch In the evening, when I’m on the rag, I just rip up a couple of American […]
A call to action! Analyzing Silicon Valley’s commodification of Jung’s philosophy, part 2. If your declaration that you’re “not trying to be an asshole” gets little response besides a few laughing emoji reacts, it’s probably time to consider your tirade complete. Thankfully that’s exactly the way it recently went on one of the Discord servers I belong to. (Not the Creekmason […]
A brief detour in the exploration of New Agey influences on technology “The mother of all white vans is parked behind our house,” I say. Since I’d begun my turbulent “awakening” there had been one white commercial looking van after another parked back there. Today’s contender looked like a camper or something. Clean, white paint, uninterrupted by any windows; maybe […]
How Silicon Valley has Commodified Jung, Part 1 My living room blinds were twisted half-way open for the sake of our houseplants, so I happened to catch the first bubble peripherally while working on the couch. I looked up with amused curiosity just in time for the second confusing bubble to bumble by. It was pretty fuckin’ whimsical. Walking outside, […]
Finding balance in our Divine Masculine and Feminine and thereby transcending the matrix. I am a fragile man. Highly—almost desperately—well-meaning. Incredibly insecure. Enduringly unsure whether I’m worthy of love. “I’m just Ken,” as Ryan Gosling sings in the Barbie movie. Perhaps, like Ken, I’d even be in danger of being radicalized nearer to borderline Incel territory were I not a […]
Misgivings around formal authority, the Tao of Leadership, and Creekmason democracy I received the same incitements toward arrogant narcissism as any millennial. Criticisms of my messiah complex could rival those levied at only the most insane. I have been programmed since birth to seek fame, status, leadership, self-importance, and self-righteousness. In short, society tried to make me a fascist. I […]
How can you tell whether you’re sane? Does the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) that defines disorders characterized by this or that collection of symptoms really have anything to say about sanity? I have a crystal clear memory of my textbook from a college psychology class defining “sanity” as arbitrary and subjective. Essentially, “conformity with the norm” as defined by […]
Plausible stories spat out by a probability-based chatbot yield fodder for the Law of Attraction ChatGPT thrives as a tool for self-hypnosis.
