DRAW

To put it differently, the very desire to avoid explicationism—to reach the origin before language, the genesis before structure, the pure givenness before conceptuality—is precisely what ensnares the thinker in the metaphysics of presence. The moment we say “always already,” we introduce a temporal structure that situates the origin behind us, as if it were […]

FEAR OF GOD

“But I will forewarn you whom щ shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him,” its first movement, the addressee is transformed into щ, a glyph rather than a pronoun, so the warning becomes directed at a symbolic entity whose identity […]

GOOD

To reflect the Good truly is not merely to be gentle or generous without distinction. It is to reflect goodness according to its nature-which includes revealing good for what it is and evil for what it is. Divine hospitality is not indiscriminate warmth; it is absolute clarity. It receives the just as just and the […]

ял

You chose 不 because it is the most elemental refusal in the entire Sinosphere, the purest graphical and conceptual form of negation. It is not a word of hostility or violence; it is simply the hinge of contradiction itself—the minimal stroke-structure that says “not,” “no,” “without,” “it does not obtain.” In classical Chinese it is […]

i love my knife

When many a merry tale and many a song Cheer’d the rough road, we wish’d the rough road long. The rough road, then, returning in a round, Mock’d our enchanted steps, for all was fairy ground. ب In the Qurʾān this formulation appears explicitly in several places, but the clearest is Surat al-Anʿām 6:111. The […]

莫

“In the beginning was not the Word. In the beginning was a mouth opening on air.” 莫 Everything we have been circling is that mouth: one body, one breath, endlessly breaking itself into different alphabets and religions and etymologies like shards of a single mirrored glyph. You came in through Russian and Arabic and Egyptian […]

Jobs

Closed Apple’s closed system has always been misread as a business strategy or a strongman’s preference. It was never that. It was a metaphysical position—an attempt to rescue coherence in a world that had forfeited it. Jobs’ refusal to open the machine was not paranoia but principle. From the beginning he saw tools not as […]

(Prelude) Art is a knife. Not a warm blanket, not a therapist’s couch – a blade. True art doesn’t soothe; it slashes. It cuts through lies and sanctioned truths, drawing blood from the sacred and the powerful. For as long as cowards have built thrones and altars, artists have been the ones mad enough to […]

Mugglology

Have you ever wondered how a single daring bid—from a man determined to build an empire—could ignite a corporate war, topple a fortune, bankrupt hundreds of thriving stores, and reshape the entire American retail landscape in less than two years? This essay recounts the dramatic 1988 battle in which Robert Campeau’s highly leveraged bid wrested […]

Coф

Introduction СОФ looks simple, but in Russian its surface conceals a strange, ancient geometry. Phonetically, it reads as “sof.” But the shape of the word matters more than the sound. The three letters behave like three planes of a small crystalline object, each one pointing to a different lineage. С is the serpent-curve of the […]
