DALL-E 2 and Objective Art

AI-made art has never inspired anything more than a shrugging response in me, which creates some difficulty for understanding the explosive appeal of the recently publicly released DALL-E 2 technology. To describe its function and productions as novelty-based would, I think, be accurate, but to leave it at that —…

Thoughts Thought Digest 2

For me, writing is the most productive when the thesis of an essay is occupying my thoughts each day, and it feels like the resultant writing is an expulsion of an intellectual buildup. But, when I look at some of the writing in retrospect, it’s not obvious what was so…

Stereotyped by Choice: Trauma as Brand

I’ve been thinking about the intensifying phenomenon wherein, should there be a photo of a Black person — an artist, author, musician, etc. — on the front page of a news outlet like the NYT, the accompanying article will almost certainly center on not just race but racism: e.g., …

Thoughts Thought Digest

N.B.: This is a chronological compilation of thoughts shared elsewhere, with the least recent first. One of the more significant forms today of enantiodromia — the tendency of things to become their opposites — is how, as the monstrous is made normative (orcs are hot, Medusa was for feminine solidarity…

Solar Birds and Abductees

Having read through the majority of author and researcher Raymond Fowler’s 1990 book, The Watchers, which is mostly a case study of UFO abductee Betty Andreasson Luca, I have to say that Luca’s accounts are among the most detailed, bizarre, internally consistent, and evidentially supported within abductee literature I’ve read…

Speculative/Inquiring Digest on UFOs, 1

Since I’ve been gathering input from elsewhere on the topic of UFOs by posting on a couple of forums, I decided I’d share my posts. Enjoy! Yesterday, I was rewatching a video interview, conducted by psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove, with Joseph Burkes, MD (…a board certified specialist in internal medicine [and]…

Indigeneity, Whiteness, and Ethnic Dislocation

What I want to write on here is a topic which is confusing to me. Perhaps, by writing, I’ll approach a better understanding of the semantic machinations at work . . . or I’ll be further bewildered. Some of the confusion stems from not entirely knowing what to attribute to…

Secular Historiclasm, Moral Contagion, and Cults of Emotional Sacrifice

NB: This is a republication of a piece originally published in 2020. On the basis of a recommendation, I listened to two installments about Carl Jung, artwork, and numinosity from a podcast called Weird Studies, hosted by Phil Ford and J. F. Martel. Noting that there is a strong male…

The Denied Silences of Modernity

NB: This is a republication of a piece originally published in 2019. Since I began a new job where every day we have music playing over the loudspeakers, I’ve often been thinking about how inured we’ve become to noise pollution — even if, on a deeper level, I believe we…
