TOP UPDATES FOUR PILLARS CINEMA/TV GAMES MANGA/ANIME MUSIC WRITINGS FAQ LINKS
I read a lot and invariably find myself with the need to get the thoughts I obsessively ruminate on out of my head. They could be educational/explanatory, philosophical, political, sociological, art-historical, or all of the above.
*BOOK INDEX
To be a good writer, you have to be a good reader. My status as both is suspect but
this is a full index of books that I've read all the way through. I think Goodreads is
a pretty decent site, but it has some things that make it really annoying to use and is
owned by Scamazon, which is why I set this up to not be as dependent on it.
*A MONUMENT TO THE HERETICS
A collection of individuals who dared to think in original ways despite the
repressive societies they were brought up in. We should honor their contributions to
making our intellectual history a richer place.
*LECTURES
Introductions to certain philosophers and works of philosophy which are hopefully
less didactic and more useful to anyone as an educational resource.
*ESSAYS
Sometimes calling these "essays" is a bit generous, but I can't think of a better
term to use. These are more off-the-cuff pieces of writing that I like to post once in a
while to externalize how I feel. Most of them generally track my values as sketched out
in the Four Pillars, but they are meant to be a bit more bite-sized and topical.
*DREAM JOURNAL
Yes, my yume nikki. People have often told me I have very strange and vivid dreams.
I don't know if they're that much more out-there than other people though. I think I
just remember them better than a lot of others. And that's mostly just a side-effect of
writing them down fairly often, I think.
*PROPHECIES
Streams of consciousness delivered from higher realms of being.
*MY LIFE STORY
My life story, or at least what I feel like sharing. It gives a lot of important
backstory about how I got to become the person that I am. Not finished.
*JADE FALLS
If I was going to create an ideal place to live, it would look like this.
*SONG PARODIES
Just for the lulz, some songs I replaced the lyrics with. Not for the faint of
heart as the humor is pretty black and crude.
