Climbing Mountains
I was missing my brother quite fiercely today. I am not really sure why… I kept thinking about how we shared a love for Star Wars and SciFi Fantasy. Or how my eclectic taste in music is so much due to him. And definitely how he shaped my sense of…

Reading my life as a “useless passion”
Problem posing from my experience increases my existential literacy in the direction of liberatory praxis.

Philosophical Faith
Philosophical Faith, according to Karl Jaspers, provides each person a way of understanding the world and their place in it. Unlike religious belief, there is no need for a special revelation from a prophetic figure nor any required dogma to express universal truths. Rather, philosophical faith stands on the basis…

Back to beginnings
Sometimes, it is better to junk some efforts with which you have been engaged than to continue their upkeep while simultaneously wasting your time. Social media was this for me. I was big proponent way back in 2008-2010. I saw that it could have some real world impact. Then it…

Health as Shame Generator
Lots of shame comes out of the Health Industrial Complex. Whether it’s a physician measuring your failure in pounds or a fitness guru manipulating your desire to “look fit and attractive,” shame plays a HUGE role in keeping most people miserable with their self-image. Aubrey Gordon has produced an excellent…

Dark Music Days Music Festival
My beautiful sibling and philosophic co-conspiratorJeanette Joy Harris went all the way to Iceland for this festival experience. The least you can do is read about it.
