Amoral egoism
(2154 words)
It is obvious that individuals commit actions. These actions are motivated by their desires and their self-interest—for example committing charity improves one’s self-image. Pyotr Kropotkin in an anarchists morality said “If the man who gives away his last shirt found no pleasure in doing so, he wou...

1. Self as Reference Point: The individual’s interests, desires, and judgments are the only guide for action; no external moral or social authority constrains the self. 2. Practical Evaluation, Not Duty: Actions are assessed based on whether they increase the self’s freedom, power, or independence;...

Amoral Egoism

1. It is known that individuals always act in their self-interest that is to say that all their actions are driven by their desires and needs. Even charity for example, is carried out for the improvement in one’s self image for example. 2. All moral or political systems have little to no actual bin...

Vapours of Meditation
(3108 words)
--- All are vapors. --- The sun rises and the sun sets. Larger than the sun, our galaxy is smaller than a pinprick in the universe, which is rapidly expanding. If a cosmic god exists, it is likely that is he is indifferent. In our lives, all are vapors. One day, you win, the other you lose. One mo...

Flagellation
(2754 words)
Flagellate — the word itself snaps like a whip in the mind. It evokes not just the physical act of whipping but a whole ecosystem of meanings that ripple across bodies, minds, and cultures. To flagellate is to strike repeatedly, yes, but more than that, it is to impose a rhythm of pain and disciplin...

Sonder
(896 words)
A few years ago, I went to a small, remote ski town in the middle of Colorado, taking a route through parts of Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico. Along the way, I saw so many other travelers. We only had small moments: a brief “hello,” a nod, a have a good day. Nothing more. But it made me wonder. Every...

The Colon
(1394 words)
In recent years, there has been a resurgence in people rising to the defense of the em-dash due to its usual employment in texts by Large Language Models. The humble colon however has been left behind. When I was younger, I used to write posts in a small shoebox. I never sent them. But I signed...

Marvel is better than DC
(864 words)
So I know a lot of people on YouTube say that they prefer DC over marvel, and I don’t know why. One reason they said was that they have better games. That’s not a good argument because the only good games are Arkham Batman games and have you seen the slate of marvel games for the coming years? Marve...

It is what it is
(2045 words)
A couple weeks ago a friend of mine missed a flight. They shrugged and said “it is what it is”. I’ll admit it when you hear such a phrase the words feel thin, and worn. But this is partially due to the overuse of the phrase which distracts from its real meaning. At first glance “it is what it is” l...

When I write
(1387 words)
- - - - - - When I write, I wish to convey my thoughts to you the reader. At the same time, I wish to sound profound—at least to my imagined readers— I am sure of very little but I am reasonable sure of the low reading of my posts here. That hampers my ability to write leading to a dreadful inertia...
