  • The Covert Sound Philosophy: having already come to an idea of you.

    soundcloud.com/usertransspace/holy-cow New album coming…2022 Stay in tuned. — Only through darkness we come unto light. 👽 There is only the Two. Open and Closed. The covert sound philosophy includes all possibility of knowledge. That which closed in knowledge (real modern-postmodernity ) is reckoned only through what is open (truth).

  • The Latest in Human Ingenuity. 

    In the real world of negotiation and mediation we just can’t introduce something with good intentions without having devastating bad results.  I’d say that is a damn good synopsis of the human condition. Think about every good thing in your life and then think about how much bad things you deny in order to have…

  • …and sowing the seeds: Reply to Blake with draft excerpts from “The Second Moment”.

    Reply to Terrence Blake’s recent post over at Agent Swarm: As usual Terrence you pegged it. It’s strange how I view it and actually I can totally agree with you and yet somehow there’s something that I’m not agreeing with and really that has to do with my work, The strange situation that I find…

  • A Story.

    Dave at Big Story Guide is always wanting me to put my critical ideas in a story form. Well, here’s one for Dave that concerns my earlier post about irony:   First, irony. In short: The last thing one would expect. There are mundane comic kind of ironies, and then there also stretches a kind of ‘cosmic’…

  • Repost:One and Two: Politics, Governance, and Antagonism; and comment. 

    First the repost:  Perhaps it could be said that politics is that which occurs at that precise moment that we learn to count to Two.  If this were the case, then it would follow that not everything is political.  Everything can become political, but politics is something is something that must be made to be. …

  • Post-modernism’s Worth. 

    When we are too close to an event, we talk about it as from a distance. That is, what we say is automatically distanced from the event, a maximum distance. The event is thus, by this occurrence, an object. As opposed to our psychotherapeutic model, the closer we are to an event, the more dishonest…

  • another anti-OOO article from Andrew Cole

    Originally posted on Object-Oriented Philosophy: HERE. Cole wrote one in 2013, I believe, but it was mostly an attack on those of his fellow medievalists who have taken a liking to OOO. This one’s a bit more acerbic, and aimed directly at me. (What is it with Duke Ph.D.’s and OOO? Galloway came out of…

  • Repost: The Significant Event, part 1

    [it appears that the most recent wordpress update has strung all the paragraph breaks together.  So its like one long run on paragraph now. But the *’s  do indicate a break.] Significance. What we can call the Romance is based upon and or around what I call the significant experience, which falls well in line…

  • The Matter At Hand, Part 1: Post-Modernism, Artificial Intelligence, the Conventional Limit, and Object Oriented Ontology.

    From reading an essay a few days ago, I was reminded of The Postmodern Generator. You can go read a good essay at: http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/ Now when I say ‘good’ I mean it can make sense. If you have never heard of it, or didn’t read the very end of the page, the PM Generator is…

  • Harman and the True Object.

    The question is no longer that of Being, for Heidegger has destroyed being, like a forensic analysis of material. Being was viable so long as there was a dialectic whereby reality could be based upon its one vision through the oscillating features held from one another, like a binary star. Hiedegger destroyed the dialectic (for…
