The Epstein/MAGA World as the Will to Power
Dream of the sadist, Otto Dix The Epstein abominations, to state the obvious, are revealing, in lurid detail, hidden in plain sight, unnerving aspects of human nature; withal, what transpires during human sexuality is an analog, sublime and grotesque, redemptive and soul-decimating, of all things human. Epstein and his billionaire boys club exploitation of their […]

From Strip Mall USA, to Gaza, to Venezuela: An Architecture of Lies

Why Isn’t the Democratic World a World?
Alain Badiou is undoubtedly among the greatest of living philosophers; one that may fairly be credited with rescuing philosophy from academic irrelevance, and the twin enemies of scientism and historicism. For Badiou, philosophy does not merely interpret the world (as Marx famously asserted in his “Theses on Feuerbach”). For an interpretation of the world, we […]
