Toward A Healthy Transhumanism (Part IV): Electric Transhumanism
“You see, to me it seems as though the artists, the scientists, the philosophers were grinding lenses. It’s all a grand preparation for something that never comes off. Someday the lens is going to be perfect and then we’re all going to see clearly.” —Sexus, Henry Miller“Damn 'em all. They changed it, changed it all around. Smeared it all over with blood.” —The MisfitsThose who are or who have been saved must above all, to have donned the helmet-hat of salvation, have been sealed with the...

Toward a Healthy Transhumanism (Part III): On Bryan Johnson, Longevity and Infinity
“It is, however, remarkable that, among the sensible faculties, sight is directly related to space, and hearing to time: the elements of the visual [symbol] occur simultaneously, and those of the sonorous [symbol] in succession;” —René Guénon, The Reign of Quantity “Space is heaven; time is hell.” —Carl Schmitt, Glossarium “But now you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit of which leads to holiness, and the end of which is eternal life.” —Romans 6:22The first r...

Two Pieces: Journey to the End of Blow Out
“From the garden of the nurse’s place in Puteaux you could look down over the whole of Paris. When Papa came to see me, the wind ruffled his moustache. That’s my first memory.” —Death on Credit “And as you follow the hearse, everybody lifts his hat to you. It's heart-warming. Then's the time to behave properly, to look dignified, not to laugh out loud, to gloat only on the inside. That's permissible. Everything's permissible on the inside.” —Journey to the End of the Night...

Consciousness in the strictest sense is present only in a being to who...

Four Movies America Didn't Understand
“Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah Stayin’ Alive…” —The Bee GeesI thank God that my parents didn’t watch movies with me growing up. But should I really thank them? Would it not be cruel for me now to do the same to my children? Did them not watching movies allow me to watch and sublimate the American masterpieces with proper maturity and respect?
