The anatomy of a production

After years of trying to make sense of life, it was learnings from my professional career that actually served a cross-over purpose and gave me the philosophical framework I needed to make progress on a theory of everything. As a software engineer I had been looking for a pattern as a basis for a data structure.… Continue reading The anatomy of a production

Why some people don’t want to live

In this piece I examine the act of suicide in terms of the Existential Framework. Suicide is a sensitive subject, so please read the Descentist Disclaimer prior to reading this work.

Living my understanding

I have been searching for answers as long as I can remember. I have notes scrawled on white, 3-ring-bound, college-ruled paper about my life as an 8 year old. At 13 I saved up and bought my first portable tape recorder where I could elaborate on my theories of the universe. Tape recorders evolved into… Continue reading Living my understanding

The dangerous talent show

Someone I was conversing with recently lamented their lack of talent. A lot of people feel this way, even if they don’t express it as explicitly as this person. In a society that places a premium on talent and celebrity, where content celebrating talent is demanded and supplied across every channel, it’s clear that a… Continue reading The dangerous talent show

What I know

I have a spiritual narrative now that makes sense. I can start at the beginning and move through it to the end. It flows — I can speak in simple language, but with an increasingly articulate set of secondary content to backup the principles. I recorded myself talking about it when I took M out… Continue reading What I know

1:26am… I just had a major realization. In the past I have often recalled the time I was walking home from high-school one day in Hazel Dell.
