Our loyalty – on the whole - is not to the truth (which is of course what we would all like to believe) but to maintaining the false narrative that we - as a collective, as a group - have...

Under its glossy camouflage, society is a big, ugly machine. It's ugly because it has nothing to do with our well-being or happiness, despite all its claims to the contrary. The point of the social system is not to increase...

The ‘agreed-upon reality’ which we all inhabit is of course a prison, just as Michel Foucault says. We have no freedom not to inhabit it, in other words; we never had the freedom not to inhabit it, in other words....

Everyone's always in such a hurry to create the Nullity. ‘Quick, quick, quick’, we say, ‘there's no time to lose - we have to create the Nullity!’ This is the message society is constantly giving it us - we hear...

Life isn't what we take it to be (or what we might be told it is) - life is a trap. This tends to come across as a rather nihilistic thing to say; the general view is that we ought...

The Designed World is a set of possibilities that have been arbitrarily abstracted from the Undesigned World, and which – crucially – do not contain any reference to the fact that there is such a thing as ‘the Undesigned’ (or...

The world that is made up of our literal descriptions is a null world. To have literal descriptions might seem useful to us, convenient for us, but there's absolutely nothing useful or helpful about the Nullity! The Nullity is bad...

Thought is like a room with trick doors so that every time you leave the room you find yourself right back where you started. Only there's another trick in the mix too – another trick which means that we don't...
