In search of the mythic hyperborea.

Lmao

Maybe I’ll start having hope again when no one cares what Joe Rogan has to say.

The Y2K #Goth Genre You Probably Missed

A first-rate mind doesn’t just think clearly, it thinks on multiple levels at once.

Surface meaning for the crowd.
Subtext for the careful.

If you can operate across levels simultaneously, you're not confused, you're multidimensional.

I love that. Dialectic isn't sterile logic; it's pressure, heat, contradiction, intoxication! 😄

Introduction: To Philosophize Is to Think Freely, to Learn to Live Freely 13 tio mentalis, the secrets of truth, in a dangerous land. His secret idiolect and deception may have fooled many, but clever minds can see behind the mask. "Readers who knew the sender read between the lines. They smiled at the parts that Hegel had laid out for the secret police. Let us not be more naive than they!" (D'Hondt). Last but not least, we should remember that Hegel depended on a very special source of inspiration: that "fiery, gold, translucent wine." The Hegelian Geist needed these genie bottles, these elixirs of life. They were his most loyal companions: Chasselas from Lake Biel, Riesling and Gewurztraminer wine from Deidesheim's Jordan vineyard, Bordeaux and Egri Bikavér from the Erfurt vintner Ramann, wine from Würzburger Stein, wine from Samos and Malaga, wine from Nußdorf in Vienna and from the Moselle and Marne Val-leys, even the Lachryma Christi of Vesuvius. The Geist of Wine gave this mole eyes with which to see and claws with which to dig. To paraphrase Merleau-Ponty's bon mot: nothing would have happened in the last two hundred years in philosophy if not for Hegel. But navigating the labyrinth of Hegel's thought is no picnic. Hegel spoke to his Berlin audience about the courage to know. His are not light lectures; to study Hegel, one needs courage. Today, after his 250th birthday, people may feel inclined to say, in Oscar Wilde's tongue-in-cheek way, "I'm smart. I read and understand Hegel." Well, with that, and with some spirits from the bottle, let Minerva's owl, philosophy's favorite animal, spread her "lively" wings at dawn and begin her flight. To philosophize: to think and live freely.

Finally, the real referent to Hegel's Geist.

I like that the camera lens looks like a cyberpunk interface port fused into her skull.

Woke up with CPAP marks and apparently unlocked an entire genre of lewd tech-dystopian commentary.

So many people think the problem is Trump.

He is just the worst symptom.

The REAL PROBLEM is that 4 out of 10 Americans are dangerously fucking stupid. They can't read. They can't reason. They can't tell a piece of shit from a president.

Until we focus on the real problem, we'll get MORE Trumps.😔

For Hegel, true freedom is NOT "doing whatever I want."

It's participating in a rational ethical order that reconciles individual will with universal norms.

The legal system is that reconciliation machine.

Ontological Commitment

Every axiom is a risk. Say too little and the model is useless; say too much and you exclude the world.

I prefer weak commitments.
Define what would follow if something exists without asserting that it does.

Coherence without dogma.

When I say "AI," I don't just mean LLMs.

I mean externalized cognition wired into capital and institutions, machine reason scaled into infrastructure.

Chatbots are the face; the real shift is Geist migrating into systems that decide, predict, and govern without reciprocity.

Harrison Ford humming the Indiana Jones march is my favorite meta moment ever.

Y'ALL! CHECK IT OUT! @julesclarke.bsky.social put my "Clarice" art piece in her shop so you can get it on all her great products!

I highly recommend the hoodie with the print on the back. I love mine! Will be posting other items as well, so you can see what it looks like on a variety of things.

I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH. AS GOVERNOR OF THE FREE WORLD, I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM, AM OFFICIALLY BANNING "KID ROCK" FROM CALIFORNIA. HIS SHIRTLESS VIDEO WITH "SECRETARY BRAINWORM" WAS INAPPROPRIATE, CREEPY, AND VERY LOW ENERGY. NOT WHAT YOU WANT AROUND OUR CHILDREN! ALSO, SOME OF THE WEAKEST PUSHUPS EVER WITNESSED. CALIFORNIA ONLY ALLOWS WINNERS! I AM ALSO BANNING WORKING OUT IN JEANS, VERY STRANGE! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GOVERNOR GCN

Some genius just needs to be screenshot for clarity. 🏆

Law is metaphysics with enforcement.

Not just rules, but an ontology backed by force.

The moment a court says: "This corporation is a person," it merely describing reality.

It's creating categories that become real because enough minds and institutions act as if they are real.

After some serious introspection, I've concluded I'm basically Snooki Polizzi with an oversized vocabulary.

Jeffrey Epstein is a disturbing example of how intelligence, strategic charm, and a lack of conscience can open doors to access, power, and wealth in this country.

elon isn’t on this platform i don’t need to know what he’s saying bc it’s always something stupid and racist so why bring it here and show us

Intelligence without moral bandwidth is not transcendence, it's acceleration without direction.

Sophia (integrated meaning) must scale alongside technological Geburah (power),
or the system destabilizes.

I celebrate #Caturday too… kind of, sort of, in a spiritually adjacent, emotionally committed, but physically absent sort of way.

"Epstein was an expert in money laundering. He also became an expert in reputation laundering for these billionaires, most of which are criminals and some of whom are provably connected to organised crime."
- journalist Whitney Webb

I think the real existential issue isn't "Will AI control us?"

It's "As intelligence expands, will moral depth, self-awareness, and value expand proportionally?"

You can have more prediction power, more optimization, and more automation without more wisdom, ethics, or understanding.

I love early industrial "synthpunk"!

MAHA was always a con. It was always about the ego and ambition of a drug-addled narcissistic fraud.
