Do I Have to Understand the Universe Before I Can Live in It?
On Philip K. Dick, runaway explanations, and the peculiar freedom of going outside There is a moment in Philip K. Dick’s VALIS when Horselover Fat entertains the possibility that the creator of the universe is insane. It’s a wonderfully disturbing proposition. What if the universe isn’t merely indifferent to our existence? What if the apparent...

I pinched a sentence from Francesca Ferrando’s The Art of Being Posthuman: Life is a journey, and we are the wanderers: anything can happen, and eventually does. I like the mischief in that last clause. You think you’ve seen everything? Just you wait. But it’s the word wanderers that keeps me here. I can travel...

When the Notes Talk Back II
Conversations with the collective mind at the edge of human thought There’s something strange happening to my notebooks. They’ve started talking back. Not the physical notebooks, of course. Those remain reassuringly silent, although there’s one sitting on my desk that contains enough abandoned theories, cryptic observations and half-baked philosophical propositions to justify a psychiatric investigation....

The Runaway Horse and the Evolution of the Self
On Montaigne, idleness, writing, and the strange business of encountering our former selves I’ve been reading Montaigne’s essay Of Idleness, and I’ve found myself rather taken with his description of what happens when he gives his mind permission to wander. Having withdrawn from public affairs, Montaigne imagines that his mind, freed from the demands of...

The Edge of Experience Is Not the Edge of Reality
On limiting beliefs, imaginary destinations, and the strange business of becoming someone you haven’t yet imagined. Some twenty-six years ago, I was out running when Bono stopped me in my tracks. Not literally, of course. He wasn’t standing in the middle of the road, arms outstretched, demanding that I contemplate the nature of reality. Although,...

Am I Human, or Have I Become a Soft Cyborg?
Working Notes from the Posthuman Frontier I’ve just begun reading Francesca Ferrando‘s The Art of Being Posthuman: Who Are We in the 21st Century? I’m only at the beginning, but I already have a feeling this book is going to take me somewhere interesting. I picked it up because of a question I’ve been chasing...

RIVYAYR PIMICÎWAN: We Are Always Somewhere
On October 11, 1869, nineteen unarmed Métis stopped a Canadian survey crew by standing on its chain, refusing to let a square grid be laid over our river lots. On the Whanganui River, declared a legal person in 2017 after 140 years of Māori struggle; Te Urewera, which owns itself; the Atrato, the Magpie, the Klamath, and wild rice suing the state of Minnesota. On Two-Spirit, a word that arrived in a dream in Winnipeg in 1990, Balboa's dogs, We'wha shaking the president's hand, and a province named for the sound water makes. Liquid has no shape of its own, and bodies can refuse the container. On Shoal Lake 40, acknowledgement, and rewilding ourselves. Both us, in whole, and our land must be sovereign.

Prompting as Self-Portrait: What Happens When the Machine Becomes Our Mirror?
A prompt reveals something about its writer. The fluent response can flatter that self-portrait, or open it to question. A reading of Caio Abreu Braga through writing, identity, and the resistance of becoming.

The Strange Case of Mudtown Lion
Or how I discovered that I might be a fictional character in someone else's metaphysical experiment. It began, as these things often do, with a perfectly innocent question. I've been reading Philip K. Dick's VALIS, a novel that has the peculiar effect of making you suspicious of just about everything, including your own thoughts. For...

Identity: still me, somehow
A barebones vectorial version of me stares back from the screen. The skin has dissolved into planes. Texture has gone. Pores, lines, scars, fatigue - all the small evidence that a face has passed through time - have been cleared away. And yet I remain recognisable. Apparently identity survives a surprising amount of deletion. Leave...

Late 30s going on 70
It finally feels like fall here, it was about 48F when I took the kids to school and daycare. Enjoyed getting dressed for that sort of weather, not so much sunscreen and sweat. And my ears don’t hurt in the wind anymore thanks to the hydroxychloroquine, turns out that was Raynaud’s. But the joint pain...

I remember seeing Platoon for the first time. I was a cadet at the West Point Prep School, and I went with two of my fellow cadets, Dan and Trevor. We were young and gung-ho, itching for adventure and eager to prove ourselves as soldiers and future officers. All three of us had our hearts...

“Become who you are” sounds like an instruction to excavate some finished identity buried beneath the noise: clear away the conditioning, ignore the crowd, find the authentic core. But Nietzsche’s self isn’t a fossil waiting to be uncovered. It’s closer to a character being forged in the act of living. You don’t first discover who...

The Monster in the Mirror
The mirror is a monster for a lot of people. I know this because I have stood in front of it and felt the room change. Not every time. Not dramatically. No gothic apparition rising out of the glass. Sometimes it's much quieter than that. You're brushing your teeth, washing your face, catching yourself in...

On the drive down to Bristol this morning, I was listening to a 90's mix. Two tunes caught my attention, One Headlight by The Wallflowers and Public Enemy's He Got Game featuring Stephen Stills. I'll deal with He Got Game in another post. Here's the Wallflower line that poked me in the eye: “Man, I...

Poem of the week: Is Your Country a He Or a She in Your Mouth by Patricia Lockwood
Patricia Lockwood’s poem Is Your Country a He or a She in Your Mouth? removes country from the map and puts it inside the body. The title doesn’t ask whether a country is male or female. It asks what the country becomes in your mouth. The mouth pronounces the nation and gives it a pronoun,...

On the Interdependence of All Things
Bennett Gilbert asks how interdependence grounds moral obligation, testing panpsychism against the slow work of forming community with other forms of life.
