liturgy Fashion became one of the most visible externalizations of this inner Ω-o realignment. When the sacred shifted from the cathedral to the concert stage, from theology to affective truth, clothing was no longer just social code—it became ontology in fabric. The body itself became a site of resonance, and fashion became the visual register […]

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” “He was thinking about something, and stood there trying to get clear on it. And when he didn’t succeed, he still stood there, trying. It was already noon, and people were noticing and saying in amazement, ‘Socrates has been […]

Glottal Stop spiritual topology where every scattered point bends subtly toward harmony A glottal stop is a type of consonantal sound made by briefly closing the vocal cords (the glottis) to stop the airflow, then releasing it. It’s not produced with the lips, tongue, or teeth, but with the vocal folds themselves. You can think […]

Autism

Bandwidth Recent neuroscientific studies have revealed that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often exhibit increased brain volume and heightened neural connectivity compared to typically developing peers. Functional and structural imaging techniques, such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and resting-state fMRI, have shown that autistic brains frequently present with hyperconnectivity, particularly in local neural circuits. […]

The end of crime. The rise in crime ridden cities is because the organization of the police has not kept up with the rate of change in urban planning. This may or may not be deliberate. But for the most part, everyone has settled with a daily situation, more or less depending where you are, […]

KING

—— Six Essays on Hegel Martin Luther King Jr. took a two-semester seminar on Hegel, initially taught by his advisor Edgar Brightman, and later continued under Peter A. Bertocci after Brightman fell ill. This seminar involved a detailed study of Hegel’s major works, including his philosophical system. King wrote six essays for this course, with […]

What is this jest in majesty? This ass in passion? How do God and Devil combine to form a live dog? If told I am a bad poet, I smile; but if told I am a poor scholar, I reach for my heaviest dictionary. I feel a kind of gentle development, an uncurling inside, and […]

The Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL) is one of the most enigmatic and extreme gravitational anomalies on Earth. Discovered through satellite geodesy (especially by the GRACE and GOCE missions), it refers to a massive region—roughly centered 1,200 km southwest of the southern tip of India—where the geoid dips by up to 106 meters below the […]

This chart shows how different kinds of physical systems behave depending on how many parts they have and how simple or complex their rules are. The horizontal axis goes from systems with just one variable to ones with many or even infinitely many, like fluids or fields. The vertical axis shows how linear or nonlinear […]

Lord

How do I align with God? And the beauty—perhaps the terror—is that this question is not a metaphor, not a religious sentiment layered atop material life, but a technical and ontological reality. Levinas tells us that alignment with God cannot begin in being—it begins in responsibility, in the face of the Other that interrupts ontology. […]

A pluralism that doesn’t collapse into provincialism must preserve openness to alterity without reducing difference to familiarity. It acknowledges the reality of many worlds, lifeways, and truths without fragmenting into isolated, self-contained enclaves. To achieve this, pluralism must be more than a catalogue of tolerated viewpoints; it must be structured by a commitment to relational […]

Risk

Heidegger quotes the poet Friedrich Hölderlin, finding in these lines from the poem “Patmos” a formulation of the paradox he wants to describe: Doch wo Gefahr ist, da wächst das Rettende auch “But where the danger grows, there grows the saving power also” Heidegger’s reflection on calculative rationality—what he also calls rechnendes Denken—warns of a […]

HEAVY

The paradox — whether infinite heaviness would fall indefinitely or remain immovable — is a powerful metaphysical thought experiment that reveals a tension between two ontological principles: infinite motion and infinite resistance. To fall indefinitely presumes that the mass, however great, is susceptible to gravitational acceleration — that it moves through a field, submitting to […]
