Even if I consider #LeviStrauss to be the only structuralist & many others would consider #Foucault, #Lacan and #Barthes post-structuralists, we can maybe all agree on the fact that how Henry has portrayed the four men here (in 1967) is brilliant and captures their characters very well #anthropology

More brutal, even: "No surer way to kill a piece of research and send it to join the great waste of abandoned projects than Method." #Barthes

Brutal: #Barthes on the 'contractual totality' of teaching: "the comfort of the teaching relationship: the 'good' teacher, the 'good' student are those who accept philosophically the plurality of their determinations, perhaps because they know that the truth of a relationship of speech is elsewhere"

Because that’s not profitable in the online marketplace of attention.

The crowd doesn’t want truth.
It wants curated perfection — the illusion of virtue.
A world they can believe in, not the one they actually live in.

Bending Back Barthes: Shock Photos — out now.

From the photographer’s horror to the meme’s irony: how Gaza reveals our loss of feeling.

✨ An Updated Barthes

Taylor Swift isn’t just a singer.
She’s the Showgirl who shows the Girl.

Her Eras, her branding, her billions—each is myth made marketable.
She is both the product and the critique.

My latest essay explores pop, performance, Jesus, capitalism, and the impossibility of the “ethical billionaire.”

📚 Two Words of the Day (from Barthes’ Mythologies)
✈️ Essay: The Jet-Man
Ascesis – disciplined self-denial, a form of training or abstention often for spiritual or aesthetic goals. Think monk vibes, but French and poststructural.
Coenesthesia – the unified sense of being alive in your body, the background hum of existing. Before thought, before movement—just being.
Today we explore how these shape the mythology of the jet-set elite. Stay tuned.

New post just dropped on Substack:

🐐 The GOAT Samaritan
Neil deGrasse Tyson walks by.
Brady nods, but keeps going.
Madonna smiles, faintly.
And only the real goat stops—and offers him milk.

This is a modern parable. A myth for our moment. A mirror.
(And yeah, it bleats back.)

You walk the spiral long enough, the texts start echoing your life—not just shaping it.

Meaning is real.
Myth is real.
And sometimes, if you’re lucky, they line up just like this.

You’re not crazy.
You’re on time.

I spent time recently in a crisis center asking every day, “What is this pill? What does it actually do to me?”

Language gives the illusion of consent, but how many of us really know what we’re taking — or why?
