We have – as a culture – a huge fondness for nonsensical psychological messages – we can’t seem to get enough of them, and this is odd because they don’t do us any good at all. We’re banjaxing ourselves with fine-sounding pseudo-psychological memes… A typical…
Identity is a prison, and yet it is – absurdly – a prison that we’re very proud of, a prison that we will defend to the bitter end. Identity means that ‘I am this but not that,’ and the thing about this is that ‘what…
It’s not that we should ‘do something about fear’ so as to show that we’re not afraid of it (or – if we can – vanquish it entirely) but rather that the helpful thing to do is to do nothing about it, nothing at all….
There can’t ever be such a thing as ‘a method to stop worrying’ and there’s a very simple reason for this – the universe, in essence, is composed of nothing but pure electric uncertainty with no solid, ‘reliable’ basis whatsoever. This is physics, not metaphysics…

We can only see what is true when we stop saying what is true, but we’re too afraid to do that. We’re too afraid to do that because we wouldn’t know what’s going on then. We would be disorientated, we would be ‘lost in uncertainty’,…
Out of fear we try to make everything happen the right way, but fear also ensures that this can never happen. Out of fear comes control and control falsifies everything. Control distorts reality itself. Control can never do anything else apart from falsifying reality. That…
