By ab esse ad posse valet illatio: If [God exists] and [Evil exists] are both true, then it is possible that [G] and [E] are both true. If [God exists (and) Evil exists] is true, then it is possible that [G (and) E] is true. If [G (and) E] is true, then [G] is true. [...]

The Self and the Stratosphere
“Live in fear of a self, but what is there to fear of your self?” — We picture ourselves embedded within language games, systems wherein entity collide in sometimes rule governed, and in other times chaotic, gestures. The context, when suffocating under the lense of “pure deliberation,” one may intuitively posture, is comprehendible, intelligible. The [...]
Unimorphic subjectivism
If I am a self, then who is the other? — But let us entreat ourselves to the comparative relation between the self and the other. We may view, and we often find ourselves under such a view, our selves in such-and-such a light, or frame, and the other – through such a frame. Let [...]
Anarchism and Morality
If a thing counts as a proposition, and we see it as such, how much further must we look into the distance to observe its reification? The anarchist towards morality must ask herself the, now self-evident to me, framework-ontological question: Am I noncognitivist about moral propositions? (Simply put: Let us deny that one has a [...]

Veiled by a word, a syntactic ornament for a community of Observers, and Counters; [behindsuch] flickers an eternal sardonic brutality Imagination demonstrates its limits in the utterance; Or so we assume in our neuro-cognitive musings, Under which formulae-manifestations are granted “A real mood conceals a real mode of existence”; Can there not be a “logic [...]

“Words are loneliness.” A word in its meaning must consist of its infinite application. We suppose, then, that the subject under whose use a word is executed must so to possess an eternal kind of feature inherent to it. We say: “The Subject is a diagonal infinity. A vector multiplicity.” The structure of a Subject’s [...]
Our paradox in aesthetic praxis
One says of an automobile “this is a beautiful piece of art”; and a common posture becomes lurched, perhaps. Some may quickly interpret this act as a kind of queer metaphor or at best idiomatic. Those less lenient a misunderstanding — cultural in nature. And to those even less tolerant, something inappropriate or ungrammatical has [...]
Scoulen the Embedded
Familial sensations come with a strict irregularity, Of which few have patience; tangibility to situations Is what grounds their truth, under a procedure The ankh of operation remains a residue, Shrouded from Alien detection, Angelic truth He amasses; Fooled through The inductive: No extant generic
Analogical powers/proto-scientific linguistic philosophy
In order for one to be able to say of another that a rule has been followed, there must exist the possibility of failing to follow the given rule. (And what this means for saying of oneself that one has obeyed a rule.) We may be inclined to think that the less concrete, or transparent, [...]
Moral surface (ramble)
Utilitarianism is a euphemism for being selfish. It sates the “philosopher” who wishes to nurture justification from a manure borne of desire. From this we receive the “higher” and the “lower” in thinking. In a smokescreen we are led to believe that “giving a justification” is in some way connected with pleasure, and pleasure toward [...]
