The work I've written over the past three years has coalesced into three streams which I now treat as distinct projects. While they are all connected, each can be approached as having its own questions, concepts, and themes.
(1) Samsara Diagnostics | Samsara Diagnostics develops a "tragic" theory which explicates how our lack and limitsas humans provides the very ground of our freedom. It draws on resources in Christian theology, continental philosophy, and Lacanian psychoanalysis, all in conversation with Japanese Buddhism.
(2) Moloch Theory | Moloch Theory draws on idiosyncratic thinkers like Foucault, Illich, and McLuhan to develop a theory and practice which responds to how the cybernetic logic of Capital operating through the market and the administrative state have co-opted 'freedom' as a tool of power and control.
(3) Open Source Mysteries | This project emerged from Samsara Diagnostics as I probed the question of whether Christianity as an esoteric dimension – I realized that the view of humans, language, and truth which I was trying to articulate in Samsara Diagnostics requires a type of learning praxis which we find in esoteric traditions, emphasizing elements like subjectivity, initiation, and event.
Finally, you'll also see a few other categories for engaging the backlog of work here, including Buddhism, Christianity, Philosophy, Psychoanalysis, and Book Reviews.
