MIND, MYTH AND MADNESS

On The Laziness of Thought

People don’t form opinions anymore. They subscribe to them.Thinking is work, and work is out of fashion. Everyone wants ideas prepackaged and ready to post.The modern mind doesn’t chew anymore. It swallow everything and excretes is like worthless shit. Beliefs are now like streaming services: cancel anytime, no effort required. Once, thought was rebellion. Now it’s repetition.People mistake noise for nuance. They think conviction is … Continue reading On The Laziness of Thought

The Last Great Conspiracy

What if the world really were as orchestrated as some imagine (every headline prewritten, every tragedy rehearsed, every coincidence a signal in disguise)? The thought stirs something both dreadful and oddly reassuring. If everything is planned, then nothing is wasted. There’s a script, a purpose, a conductor behind the noise. The horror of chaos fades, replaced by the comfort of knowing that at least someone, somewhere, is driving the story.

Piece of Shit

Some days I wake up and think,“Damn, I might be the problem.” Not in a villain arc kind of way, no. Just in that quiet, disappointing way you forget to reply to someone who loves you.Or you said you’d change, and didn’t.Or you left your undried laundry in the wardrobe for three days and now it smells like betrayal. I’m not evil. Just… inconsistent.A decent … Continue reading Piece of Shit
