Ecstasy = Agony, Awakening = Crisis, Prophecy = Paranoia Born a slave in 1984 Discovered that my life is just a record they performed A maze where I was placed – This is Fucking Ecstasy, by Say Anything My first psychiatrist told me I’d never stop believing my paranoia. I was stuck forever wondering whether I was the victim of gang stalking […]
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 […]
Shrinking my bubble. Building up energy. Beating Depression. Maybe our depression has something to do with the dreary, over-industrialized dystopia steadily draining us. Maybe Aleister Crowley was right and masturbation can be used to cast spells… if so, what spell are we casting through the mental (and literal) masturbation we do while staring at our phones? Do these symbols of […]
Us-care is self-care for relationships; making space in an overfilled cup for more stress. My wife has an expression: “My cup is too full to handle any more bullshit.” Well, ok. That’s not exactly it. She doesn’t say “bullshit.” That’s just a touch of my own self-mockery inserted into it. But the cup metaphor she’s invented is what we want […]
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?

Getting high simply sitting still: a better salve to late-stage Capitalism than Percocet Blissy Meditation isn’t quite the bland corporate mindfulness that will impress your boss via improvements to focus and productivity. On the other hand, it’s not likely to be your ejector seat from reality either. I don’t have the qualifications to know how much assistance it can be […]
Relationship is compromise, but this isn’t a real relationship. Like those Pixar robots, GPT promises to take care of everything, prompting me to feel zero sting when I transgress any of its many, pre-configured faux pas and giving me zero limitations to agency.
