  1. Recht zu haben fühlt sich oft wie Klarheit an — psychologisch betrachtet kann es jedoch auch Selbststabilisierung unter Druck sein. Der innere Anwalt schläft nie wirklich.

    Being right may feel like certainty — but certainty rarely lasts. Sometimes arguments defend identity more than truth.

  2. CW: SOMA, small vent about presence of mind during thought-provoking video games and failing to portray them with the respect they deserve.

    Man, this is the second time I've watched a playthrough or analysis of a game we've played on stream where I've come away from my own playthrough feeling like I somehow missed important messages.

    Granted, you can chalk it up to the split attention that comes with streaming, but when I had this happen after playing #Mouthwashing it was the first time I ever experienced anything around that game, of course it's going to be hard to absorb/digest the themes/messages of that game when you have a divided attention.

    However, when I played #SOMA back in 2022 I had already watched Markiplier's LP before I had decided to revisit the game for myself. I knew there was a philospohical & existential thread woven throughout the game, and while that entire discussion is still very much accurate to my playthrough, one thing I feel I completely missed the mark on is the antagonistic nature that Catherine presents as and how she treats her research and the people of Pathos-II.

    There's a non-zero part of me that almost feels like my take on my experience in SOMA is not how I would prefer to present the game, although the rest of me still wants it to exist, even if I may not be happy with it personally.

    If you're interested in a playthrough that handles it more as a game with some light philosophical discussions & posits, feel free to check out my playthrough on either of my channels. However, if you're interested in a much more meaningful, philosophical discussion on the nature of consciousness, sense of self, and the value of humanitarianism in scientific endeavors such as this, I suggest giving the playthrough from Dr. Mick a watch. He is able to so eloquently explain what I failed to portray with so much more tact & respect, it's hardly a comparison.

  3. Erwachsenwerden heißt oft nur zu merken, dass niemand mehr kommt, der „die Erwachsenen“ sind.

    Growing up often means realising that nobody else is coming who counts as “the adults”.

  4. When I possess, I lose. Letting go of 'mine' and 'yours' allows things to regain their light in my eyes, incinerating the very idea of division. The material becomes an extension of the psychological — there is no need to live in poverty or cling to wealth, for all grows from inner abundance.

  5. “Not everything that interrupts your plans is working against you.”

    This episode explores the Burnt Toast Theory and how small inconveniences sometimes become unexpected turning points. A delayed moment, a changed plan, or a minor frustration can quietly move life in a different direction than the one you originally imagined.

  6. Albert Camus, das Absurde, das Trotzdem — und die Frage, warum Menschen weiterschreiben, obwohl keine Endgarantie existiert.

    Albert Camus, the absurd, the nevertheless — and the question of why people keep writing despite the absence of any final guarantee.

  7. Einsamkeit ist nicht laut. Manchmal ist sie nur konsequent — und genau deshalb schwer erkennbar. Ein Text über Stille, Resonanzräume und innere Leere.

  8. Ein Text darüber, wie Schreiben nicht nur Gedanken festhält, sondern im Alltag weiterarbeitet — leise, prüfend, manchmal unbequemer als jede direkte Erkenntnis.

    A text about how writing does not merely preserve thoughts, but continues working through everyday life — quietly, critically, sometimes more uncomfortable than direct insight itself.

  11. What If They’re Already Here?

    Recently, Neil deGrasse Tyson visited Stephen Colbert to talk about aliens and his new book Take Me To Your Leader: Perspectives On Your First Alien Encounter. He discussed aliens, why you probably shouldn’t shake hands, and how they might mirror what they see of humanity. 

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UNUkJMbvpQ

    It made me think of the story I wrote on that topic, and how I hope that humanity does more good than not. I’ve re-posted before but I like the story, so here it is again. Click through for the full piece.

    We Are Mirrors | J.R. Johnson

    You and Yours

    I came from the stars to meet you. I was happy. Excited, even. First contact with your verdant world. Think of all that we could share with you.

    “You” could have meant a lot of things. I started with one of the most populous. An insect.

    I remember little of what it was like, a flash of light, a warm wriggle in a puddle after rain. The feel of wind in my wings.

    It’s embarrassing to say this now, but I was promptly eaten.

  12. Ein Text gehört dir nicht mehr, wenn er gebraucht wird. Nicht missverstanden—benutzt. Zwischen moralischer Lesart und „ehrlicher Betrachtung“ bleibt kaum Raum.

    A text stops being yours once it’s needed. Not misunderstood—used. Between moral reading and “honest observation,” little space remains.

  19. Finding Clarity in the Blogging Chaos: A Journey Toward Purposeful Expression

    Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines | April 30, 2026

    In the era of digital communication, blogging has emerged as a powerful platform for self-expression and connection. Still, many bloggers find themselves caught in a whirlwind of frustration, especially those who feel like they’re on a relentless roller-coaster of writing essays that seem to lead nowhere. The struggle is real for many, particularly those who wish to escape the ‘soap opera’ that the West Philippine Sea has become in online discourse.

    The digital landscape can be overwhelming. Bloggers often feel pressured to churn out content regularly, with the hope that their words will resonate with readers or yield tangible rewards. Yet, this pressure can quickly turn into a cycle of anxiety and dissatisfaction. Many ask themselves: “How do I stop this cycle, and how can I derive more meaningful value from my efforts?”

    Navigating this challenging terrain begins with self-reflection and a reassessment of one’s goals. Are you writing for personal satisfaction, to educate, or to generate income? Understanding your motivations can help guide your content strategy and stem feelings of frustration.

    Moreover, it’s important to consider your audience. Engaging authentically with readers can transform the blogging experience from a solitary effort into a vibrant interaction. This sense of community provides the encouragement needed to break free from the monotony of uninspired writing.

    Furthermore, the journey doesn’t have to be about quantity; it can be about quality. Dedicating time to craft thoughtful, well-researched pieces can be far more fulfilling than cranking out many posts. Even experimenting with different formats—like video blogs or podcasts—can reinvigorate passionate expression and connect with audiences in new ways.

    In the face of the tumultuous digital discourse, especially around polarizing issues like the West Philippine Sea, it’s okay to take a step back. Bloggers should focus on their mental health, recognizing when to take breaks and giving themselves grace during creative slumps.

    As this journey of self-discovery unfolds, one thing is clear: bloggers are not alone on this ride. By reflecting on why they started, reassessing their goals, engaging their audiences, and embracing quality and creativity, they can take notable steps towards a more gratifying blogging experience.

    You can escape the exhausting loop of the blogging ‘soap opera’ and emerge with renewed passion and clarity, ready to share insightful content that truly resonates.

  20. “The world reflects the state you carry inside.”

    Reality can feel solid and unchangeable. But much of what we see is shaped by how we look. When your perspective softens or opens, the experience shifts with it. The outside begins to mirror what is happening within.
