Noblesse oblige. Literally translated from the French as nobility obligates. It’s commonly understood to mean that aristocracy has a responsibility to act graciously towards the civilization which has granted them status. It’s a turn of phrase I’ve written about before, specifically how in our post modern times, we are challenged to understand who is pursuing […]
I wasn’t a gamer as a kid but as an adult I’ve come to love gaming. The joy of accomplishments, the camaraderie of guild members, and the fantasy of the worlds are powerful magic. I’ve met dear friends that I love every much as anyone IRL. Gaming has significant social benefits apparently. Which anyone who […]
I love a good signaling and status competition. There are so many ways to to signal that at the far reaches of taste you will never fear to tread. Just don’t worry about how other people live. I’ve worked in luxury fashion and venture capital and they run on the same rules. And it’s all […]

I am quite jet lagged today so I am unsure if this will be coherent but “it’s practice” so here I am. I am in the middle of my own biochemical storms as the wider algorithmic storms of the web remain at hurricane strength. My own teapot tempests hardly matter against the gale force nihilism […]
I went down a rabbit hole today with Screaming Jay Hawkins “demented” blues classic titled “I Put A Spell On You. You should really stop and have listen to if you’ve never heard it. Considered one of the first pieces of shock rock, Hawkins performed while he “wore a long cape, and appeared onstage by […]
We get regular reminders of how chaotic things are in our new hypersphere networked world that we have entire memes categories and full influence campaigns dedicated to blackpilling people into nihilism.
