To tell the truth, I just posted an essay on the truth. Many philosophers have written about Truth over the years, but truth is just a tool, a trivial bookkeeping device.

The Burnout Society launches Readings in Late Exhaustion—a Philosophics series on the psychic economy of late capitalism.

“We exploit ourselves and think we are free.”

New post on Philosophics.blog — Pure Reason: The Architecture of Illusion

Kant’s dream: a universe made of logic, untouched by experience.
For three turns, evidence is suspended; only deduction remains.
The Enlightenment’s most beautiful labyrinth.

New from the Postmodern Set: Freedom — Enchantment: Social Contract

Rousseau’s paradox remains alive: we are born free and everywhere bound.
Freedom isn’t lawlessness—it’s shared constraint, the fragile enchantment that keeps us human.

Why do sex workers report higher job satisfaction than 'respectable' employees? Fromm had an answer 70 years ago. The disease wasn’t neurosis — it was capitalism. We’ve automated everything except fulfilment.

I used to play music. Now my hands won’t listen. That, too, is a kind of death.

Watching Neal Schon with Rick Beato sent me back to a life that’s no longer mine.

When the body forgets what the mind remembers, grief finds a new instrument.

New card in the Critical Theory parody set: Language Game

Wittgenstein’s warning still stands: meaning isn’t a thing, it’s a use.
We live in the friction between saying and doing, countering and reframing.

New post on Philosophics.blog: Perspectival Realism – The Enchantment of the In-Between

Reality exists only so long as no one agrees on what it is.
Consensus kills the spell.
A reflection on realism, idealism, and why “truth” depends on where you’re standing.

Finished Desmet’s The Psychology of Totalitarianism.

Great setup, disappointing aftertaste: reason torn down, intuition enthroned.
The therapist can’t stop therapising the world.
