Recursive Synthesis

The Time-independent World Order
I recently read two pieces a synthesis of which might be interpreted to say that all we can hope for in life is to concoct an artifice which distracts us from the impending and concurrent oblivion of purposelessness which would otherwise crush us. This is not idle nihilistic navel gazing, though [...]

Losing Essay

Or: My Attempt to Win Money with Words Goes Astray
I wrote this in the fall in an effort to earn/win cash for school. Not sure if there’s only one entry per person, like, ever, but I wouldn’t send the same essay twice anyway. Therefore, I’m free to publish it here, for what it’s [...]
