You exist, not live—being defined by others. Your mind colonized, sovereignty lost; question your reality now.
Pioneers of Psycho-Structural Political Economy-CC0
Power today is not sustained mainly by force, but by monopolizing reality-definition. This project exposes how legitimacy, obedience, and cognitive alignment reproduce domination—and why no system deserves immunity from redefinition, reversal, or collective revocation.

The Origins of Academic Norms and Their Evolution into Technologies of Intellectual Discipline From Quality Control to Cognitive Governance-CC0
Introduction: From Epistemic Reliability to the Management of ThoughtAcademic norms are commonly understood as neutral instruments of quality control. Historically, this understanding is not wrong. Their origins lie in the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century, when emerging scientific communities developed shared conventions—replicability, public reporting, peer scrutiny, citation—to protect knowledge from authority, superstition, and personal dogma. The founding of Philosophical ...

The Meta-Bourgeoisie Thesis: Narrative Sovereignty and Cognitive Class Struggle-CC0
AbstractClassical theories of class struggle were grounded in visible relations of material production: land, factories, machines, and labor power. In the contemporary global order, however, domination increasingly operates through less tangible means. This paper proposes the concept of the Meta-Bourgeoisie: a ruling class whose primary power lies not in owning productive assets, but in monopolizing narrative sovereignty—the capacity to define what counts as reality, legitimacy, possibility, ...

An archival essay for independent readingIntroduction: From “What the World Is” to “How the World Is Told”Most analyses of power begin inside an already-given reality. They ask who controls resources, institutions, or bodies, and how domination operates within these parameters. Such approaches, while necessary, leave a deeper question largely untouched:How does a particular version of reality come to be accepted as reality in the first place?This essay proposes a shift in analytical focus—fro...

From Class and Recognition to the Power that Defines Reality-CC0
How a Single Structure Manifests Across Material, Social, and Perceptual LayersIntroduction: Why Struggle Appears to MultiplyPolitical history is often narrated as a sequence of different struggles replacing one another: class struggle giving way to identity politics, discourse replacing economics, technology eclipsing ideology. This narrative is misleading. What appears as a proliferation of struggles is better understood as a single power structure revealing itself through different histori...
