What's In A Magazine?

Magazines, zines, journals, blogs, newsletters, vlogs, channels, newspapers, and everything in between. These media have each had their major shift, and yet again witness another such agonizing change. Paths to truth and beauty in the digital age are being dominated, if not suffocated, by sloppy artificial content in the form of personalized, algorithmically fed bots, which lack any understanding of real meaning. This leads to a distorted perception of both literacy and reality, in which the ...

Adventure Awaits

In a world faced with uncertainty at every turn, I am leaning into a life of wandering. The idea of sitting at home watching YouTube videos for hours and hours, alone and depressed, was enough to drive me mad. So, I’m doing myself a favor, turning to nature and culture for a creative exploration into the unknown. I’ve long wanted to become more physically adventurous, especially since becoming more spiritually adventurous as I’ve grown older. Often stunlocked by shyness, using introversion as...

Myth Taken, Myth Birthed

This week, I again explored myths and mystics to understand and pursue genuine wisdom.

This is the story of an endless cycle of opposing narratives driving full force through altering perceptions of his...

Library Realism: Beyond the Page

Last week, we briefly touched on the Library Economy. When first imagining this new social order, one might be confused about how it could possibly work outside of simple theories or curious about a different form of global trade altogether. Here, we’ll either stoke those fears or clarify the process. Only you can decide. Join our Telegram Channel I am by far not the first or only one to advocate for this possible future. The Library Economy movement, championed by the Srsly Wrong Podcast, di...

Toward A Greater Transition

I revere transitional periods. For the past six years, I’ve lived through my own liminal space—one which taught me to see change as sacred. Now, we’re collectively entering a profound new transition. Though many experts have discussed the history of past transfers of intelligence and industry through the ages and empires, my perspective may be a bit more radical than the ones you’ll find on newsfeeds and usual social algorithms. Aside from pure intuition, that’s what drove me to start this ne...
