Word spell check wants to replace "Deleuzian" with "Delusional"

The doctrine of personal revelation begrudges the Mormon subject into a paradigm of cognitive dissonance; an omnipotent and omniscient God who deigns to speak to each individual will invariably contradict Himself. This is a clear blasphemy suggesting His commandments are a hierarchical Gordian knot.

I am toying with writing a reflection on my experiences with religion and identity in leaving the mormon church. If anyone know any good academic or literary resources tackling guilt, shame, religious trauma, and/or deprogramming and recovery, I am actively looking for some reading recommendations!

This era is strange because it is both socially/culturally regressive, yet technologically accelerationist.

Backward + forward at the same time. With human erasure being the goal.

I think those interested in cultural preservation, archival work— resisting erasure will be *especially* important.

It is crucial to remember that moments of despair are inevitable in struggle. When we despair, we grieve the world as it is, but we need not wallow in fear of what it might become. To do so is to abandon the revolutionary project. Thus, in suffering we reify absolute Spirit.

This seems to be the trend rn, and who am I to buck convention? Things I will probably skeet about (in no particular order):

- philosophy (continental)
- TTRPGs (primarily D&D 5e)
- poetry
- communism
- pokemon
- lgbtqia+ rights
- abolition & liberation
- board games
- climate
- books

Currently planning my next Planescape 5e session- any suggestions on making undead encounters more interesting at low levels? My PCs will be visiting the Mortuary in Sigil.

Currently reading: The Agony of Eros by Byung-Chul Han

In a world where there is so much harm produced and reproduced by institutions and systems, I believe there exists an ethical requirement to engage in revolutionary practices to cultivate attention, community, and love.

Guilt is an inexorable aspect of indoctrination. In order to truly give oneself to a cause, there must be a sense in which the cause inspires guilt at the very thought of its removal. It ingrains itself within the psyche and whispers that there is something wrong if it is ignored or cast aside.

«It is a recognition that the sufferer exists…The soul empties itself of all its own contents in order to receive into itself the being it is looking at, just as he is, in all his truth. Only he who is capable of attention can do this.»

— Simone Weil

In such a time when the digital ecosystem of simulatory spectacle has perverted the connexion of one to another, the art of careful attention to the Other— such that it can be understood in its context and free of externality— is a necessity. The cultivation of this art is what we might call love.
