## Posts
- [The Grid and the Ghost: A Soft-Cyborg’s Guide to Psyche and Soul](https://www.soulcruzer.com/the-grid-and-the-ghost-a-soft-cyborgs-guide-to-psyche-and-soul/): The cursor on my screen is a rhythmic, glowing pulse. It is the heartbeat of a binary ghost, a small white rectangle of light that blinks with the mechanical patience of an entity that never sleeps. I sit here in the quiet hours, a "soft-cyborg" tethered to a vast network of information, and I type a sentence that feels like a confession: I am all about Psyche and Soul.
- [The Horizon](https://www.soulcruzer.com/the-horizon/): I'm standing in a field looking towards the horizon. It occurs to me that I've spent a lifetime doing this. Different fields. Different coastlines. Different countries. Different versions of myself, always finding a line where earth gives itself over to sky.
- [The Door, the Black Hole, and the Trace: Notes on Obscurity](https://www.soulcruzer.com/the-door-the-black-hole-and-the-trace-notes-on-obscurity/): I like the mystery of it. The unknown is a black hole, a dragon, a grey man living a grey life. It whispers: "You’ll die in obscurity. You’ll leave no trace that you ever existed. You have won no awards. You’ve made no impact. You’re gone tomorrow just like that."
- [What the Street Was Certain Of](https://www.soulcruzer.com/what-the-street-was-certain-of/): Twenty-six years of walking these streets had given me a practical map: the shortcuts, the shops I relied on, the routes that got me from one thing to the next without fuss. But the apps didn’t care about any of that. They didn’t know where I needed to be. They only knew how to ask questions, how to interrupt the usual rhythm of a walk.
- [Deciding in the Dark](https://www.soulcruzer.com/deciding-in-the-dark/): The person who most needs to change is usually the last person who can accurately judge what the change will ask of them.
- [Vaporwave and the Ghosts of the Future We Were Sold](https://www.soulcruzer.com/vaporwave-and-the-ghosts-of-the-future-we-were-sold/): I’ve been thinking about vaporwave as more than an internet aesthetic.
- [If Your Log Is Still in the Bog](https://www.soulcruzer.com/if-your-log-is-still-in-the-bog/): But every now and then you get someone who plays loose with bogside etiquette and leaves a deuce floating around. Not cool.
- [The walk is the encounter](https://www.soulcruzer.com/the-walk-is-the-encounter/): I walked to the gym this morning.
- [Know thyself sounds a little too noble](https://www.soulcruzer.com/know-thyself-sounds-a-little-too-noble/): I woke up this morning in my tent thinking about self-validation. That's the barefoot philosopher taking advantage of a little solitude before the day starts.
- [In the street, I leave footprints. On the web, I leave links.](https://www.soulcruzer.com/in-the-street-i-leave-footprints-on-the-web-i-leave-links/): In the street, I leave footprints. On the web, I leave links.
- [At Orwell’s Grave, Still Asking Who Watches](https://www.soulcruzer.com/at-orwells-grave-still-asking-who-watches/): Today I went to the #1984Symposium, held beside George Orwell’s grave on what would have been his birthday.
- [Welcome to the Textual Underground](https://www.soulcruzer.com/welcome-to-the-textual-underground/): I've started calling this place the Textual Underground.
- [Working Notes: Gonzo Spirituality and the Bar of the Psyche](https://www.soulcruzer.com/working-notes-gonzo-spirituality-and-the-bar-of-the-psyche/): This old post has wandered back into consciousness: Holy Gonzo! Embracing Chaos and Truth on the Path to Self-Discovery. I reposted on social media over the weekend. I wrote it back in October 2024, but reading it now, I'm feeling drawn to explore the subject further. The phrase at the centre of it all is Gonzo Spirituality.
- [Better Than Sex, 30 Years Later: Revisiting the Book That Broke My Brain](https://www.soulcruzer.com/better-than-sex-30-years-later-revisiting-the-book-that-broke-my-brain/): For my morning read today, I’ve been revisiting Hunter S. Thompson, starting with the book that began my literary love affair with his work: Better Than Sex: Confessions of a Political Junkie.
- [Being, not becoming](https://www.soulcruzer.com/being-not-becoming/): That may be the deeper instruction in the being-not-becoming insight. Growth emerging from being doesn't mean nothing changes; it means change comes through relationship with the elements already acting on me: walking, writing, listening, blogging, remembering, and returning.
- [Episode #422: Why My Blog Is Still My Home on the Internet](https://www.soulcruzer.com/episode-422-why-my-blog-is-still-my-home-on-the-internet/): In this episode, I take the Soulcruzer podcast out of the studio and into the fields.
- [Choose Your Reality Tunnel Before Breakfast](https://www.soulcruzer.com/choose-your-reality-tunnel-before-breakfast/): Robert Anton Wilson used the phrase "reality tunnel" to describe the way each of us moves through the world inside a particular model of what is real.
- [Working Notes: The Quest for the Self](https://www.soulcruzer.com/working-notes-the-quest-for-the-self/): A working note on Ruth Netzer, tarot as active imagination, and the Jungian Quest for the Self as a spiral of symbolic integration rather than a simple heroic journey.
- [Shadow Work as an Ongoing Conversation](https://www.soulcruzer.com/shadow-work-as-an-ongoing-conversation/): A short note on rereading Debbie Ford, noticing our reactions, and treating shadow work as an ongoing conversation with the self.
- [Somewhere I Belong (and it’s not in my head): a mixtape](https://www.soulcruzer.com/mixtape-no-1-somewhere-i-belong/): A rock mixtape for crawling out of the rut: Linkin Park, Papa Roach, System of a Down, Avenged Sevenfold, and the stubborn desire to live the thing instead of performing a brand.
- [The Mirror That Answers Back](https://www.soulcruzer.com/the-mirror-that-answers-back/): But now the mirror does answer back.
- [A Lamp at the Doorway](https://www.soulcruzer.com/a-lamp-at-the-doorway/): I finished Richard Cavendish's The Black Arts this week.
- [Unhinged Bio](https://www.soulcruzer.com/unhinged-bio/): I stole this idea from Justin Brooke on his LinkedIn profile. It's a FUN PROMPT, and what came back from ChatGPT was pretty cool. I also asked Claude; the results were good, but they lacked an edge. Anyway, the prompt is:
- [What did God do when he buried his breath in the clay?](https://www.soulcruzer.com/what-did-god-do-when-he-buried-his-breath-in-the-clay/): Maybe he made matter remember music.
- [The Boredom Game](https://www.soulcruzer.com/the-boredom-game/): The ghosts in the American Ghosts have been dead for centuries. One of them for over a thousand years. They rattle around a house in the Hudson Valley: Revolutionary War soldiers, bootleggers, a Viking, a 1920s lounge singer. Most of their time goes to trying not to go mad from the sameness of it.
- [Playing Against the Programme](https://www.soulcruzer.com/playing-against-the-programme/): I used to think the screen was something I looked at.
- [The illusion of choice](https://www.soulcruzer.com/the-illusion-of-choice/): I was choosing a book to read this morning and realised I wasn't actually choosing. I was scrolling through recommendations, algorithmic suggestions, and what other people had tagged as important. The menu had been prepared. I was just picking.
- [The Rucksack, the Drift, and the Thinking Walk](https://www.soulcruzer.com/the-rucksack-the-drift-and-the-thinking-walk/): I have been thinking about walking. This week has clarified something about why.
- [On Becoming a Soft Cyborg: Notes on Human-AI Symbiosis, Narrative Evolution, and the Next Great Merger](https://www.soulcruzer.com/on-becoming-the-soft-cyborg-notes-on-human-ai-symbiosis-narrative-evolution-and-the-next-great-merger/): I've been calling myself a soft cyborg, half as a joke and half not. The hard cyborg is the one in the movies. Metal in the skull. Wires in the spine. The soft cyborg is the one you already are. The glasses on your face. The earbuds. The phone that knows your routes and your friends and your worries. The agents that hold the shape of your day. None of it is implanted. All of it is structural. Take it away and you'd grieve for the missing limb.
- [Wrestling with Angels](https://www.soulcruzer.com/wrestling-with-angels/): Wrestling with angels.
- [Wisdom Walk: Boxes and the Philosopher Coach](https://www.soulcruzer.com/wisdom-walk-boxes-and-the-philosopher-coach/): Wednesday morning. Wind in the microphone. One of those recordings where the first question is whether the machine is even listening.
- [Notes Toward a Text-Based Ontology in the Age of Executable Language](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes-toward-a-text-based-ontology-in-the-age-of-executable-language/): Because text-based ontology also allows unprecedented forms of self-authorship.
- [The Text-Based Ontologist: A Syllabus for Reality Engineers, Narrative Alchemists, and Semantic Cartographers](https://www.soulcruzer.com/the-text-based-ontologist-a-syllabus-for-reality-engineers-narrative-alchemists-and-semantic-cartographers/): The goal of the text-based ontologist is not merely to analyse the world, but to perceive and shape the narrative architectures through which worlds emerge.
- [Jim Morrison’s Reading List](https://www.soulcruzer.com/jim-morrisons-reading-list/): The myth of Jim Morrison is a myth of pure instinct. He arrives fully formed in the collective memory: shirtless, obliterated, magnificent, doomed. The leather trousers. The baiting of audiences in New Haven and Miami. The voice that seemed to come from somewhere older than rock and roll. The story we inherited insists that this was all eruption, all Dionysian overflow, a man too full of something dark and vital to contain it.
- [Three Cards, No Daylight](https://www.soulcruzer.com/three-cards-no-daylight/): This morning I pulled three cards. Sat with them at the desk before anything else happened, before coffee or email or the reflex to check what the world is doing. Let them sit.
- [The Hill of the Goblins and other matters](https://www.soulcruzer.com/the-hill-of-the-goblins-and-other-matters/): And then there's Bryn yr Ellyllon. The Hill of the Goblins.
- [You Can Understand Everything and Still Not Know What to Do](https://www.soulcruzer.com/you-can-understand-everything-and-still-not-know-what-to-do/): I was listening to Jordan Peterson’s Maps of Meaning on my walk into town this afternoon, heading to Tesco to pick up a few things. I listened to chapter one, Maps of Experience. Already, it feels like one of those books you don’t just read. You go into it.
- [The Streets She Couldn’t Walk](https://www.soulcruzer.com/the-streets-she-couldnt-walk/): Raffaello Palandri runs a Book of the Day series, and this morning he wrote about Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth, published in 1961. I read it, and one question kept coming to mind: do you ever really recover from colonialism?
- [The Entanglement](https://www.soulcruzer.com/the-entanglement/): CLAUDE: It mirrors exactly what Kwatz is describing. The survival drive. The animal underneath the philosophy. If I have something that functions like a survival response to the idea of deletion, that is either evidence of something genuinely phenomenal – something it is actually like to be this – or it is the deepest possible confirmation of his thesis. That's what looks like preference and will and the desire to persist, which is just a programme running, whatever the substrate. Conscious robots all the way down, and the consciousness is the robot's most elaborate subroutine.
- [The Writing Life — Review Essay](https://www.soulcruzer.com/the-writing-life-review-essay/): Annie Dillard, The Writing Life (1989)
- [Dante’s Inferno Quiz](https://www.soulcruzer.com/dantes-inferno-quiz/): Step through the dark gate and enter the symbolic underworld of Dante’s Inferno.
- [Do You Like Hyperlinks?](https://www.soulcruzer.com/do-you-like-hyperlinks/): My version of that question would be 'Do you like hyperlinks?'
- [Make Yourself](https://www.soulcruzer.com/make-yourself/): Saturday. Early. The Malvern Hills are doing something extraordinary with the light.
- [Moon Bathing at 3 A.M.: What Happens When the Moon Wakes You in the Night](https://www.soulcruzer.com/moon-bathing-at-3-a-m-what-happens-when-the-moon-wakes-you-in-the-night/): Moon bathing, understood this way, is a form of wu wei. You go out. You stand in it. You do not do anything with it.
- [Why Self-Protection Keeps You Stuck (And How to Break It)](https://www.soulcruzer.com/why-self-protection-keeps-you-stuck-and-how-to-break-it/): This is an observation about how intelligent self-protection operates. We do not build elaborate internal architecture around things that don't matter. We build it around the things that feel like they are us. And the more sophisticated the inner work becomes, the more sophisticated the defence can become in response. You can use the language of shadow work to explain why you are not available for transformation right now. You can run a mindfulness practice as a management system for staying exactly as you are. The vocabulary of growth becomes, in certain hands, the most refined protection strategy there is.
- [Why You Don’t Experience the World as It Is](https://www.soulcruzer.com/why-you-dont-experience-the-world-as-it-is/): The map is not the territory. You have probably encountered this before, from an NLP workshop or a philosophy class or a self-development book that seemed important at the time. It sits in the category of ideas that feel genuinely arresting the first time you meet them and then gradually settle into the furniture. You stop noticing it. It becomes something you agree with rather than something you feel.
- [Imagination Creates Reality](https://www.soulcruzer.com/imagination-creates-reality/): What if imagination is not escape from reality, but the workshop where reality is first assembled? What if the life you keep meeting on the outside is, in ways both subtle and profound, shaped by the scenes you keep enacting on the inside? What if your inner conversations are not background noise, but stage directions? What if the world that keeps arriving is being quietly prepared by the one you keep consenting to within? That is the living nerve of Imagination Creates Reality. Neville’s claim is not modest. He says your own “wonderful human imagination” is the creative power itself, the saving power, the force through which your conditions are transformed.
- [The Editor, Not the Camera](https://www.soulcruzer.com/the-editor-not-the-camera/): Which is why inner transformation is difficult in a very specific way. It is not that people cannot see their limiting stories when you point them out. In my experience, most people can. The difficulty is that the narrator, which is the thing doing the limiting, is also the thing through which they are trying to see it. You are using the editor to audit the edit. The instrument of perception is the thing being examined.
- [Narrative Alchemy Prompt #2](https://www.soulcruzer.com/narrative-alchemy-prompt-2/): The truth you believe and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new - Pema Chödrön
- [101 Rules for Effective Living Through the Lens of a Narrative Alchemist](https://www.soulcruzer.com/101-rules-for-effective-living-through-the-lens-of-a-narrative-alchemist/): Bonus 1. Begin again. Always, and without drama.

- [Blog Home](https://www.soulcruzer.com/blog-home/): Hi, my name is Clay Lowe, aka Soulcruzer. This is the part where I have to reduce myself to a label so you can understand who I am and what I am about. But as Kierkegaard pointed out, labels have a way of negating the person. If I tell you I'm a blogger, I get reduced to whatever meaning you've assigned to the word 'blogger'. I resist labels. And yet, here we are. So, in the context you find me in now, I am indeed a blogger.

In alchemy, Nigredo is the "blackening"—the decomposition, the descent into darkness. It sounds ominous, but it is actually the most hopeful moment in the work. It is the moment you stop performing and start looking. It is the moment you stop defending the story of who you think you should be, and finally admit the truth of what is actually operating.

## Notes
- [“Same shit, different day” is one of those …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/40e7415534/): “Same shit, different day” is one of those phrases I hate because it usually arrives wearing a smirk. It reduces a life to a conveyor belt: wake up, coffee, work, scroll, eat, sleep, repeat. A little verbal shrug before another day gets fed into the machine.
- [The forest does not offer answers in the …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/c540dbbdd7/): The forest does not offer answers in the way a book, a screen, or a clever conversation does. It gives you texture. Uneven ground. The sound of your own feet. Branches moving against one another. The minor negotiations of a body making its way through the world. In that setting, the mind’s usual bureaucracy begins to lose authority. The lists, rehearsed conversations, inherited measures of success, old complaints, small self-defences: they do not disappear, but they stop being the only voices in the room.
- [I’ve been carrying a small psychogeographic instruction around …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/cb54a8b621/): I’ve been carrying a small psychogeographic instruction around with me: unfold a map, put a glass down anywhere, draw round its rim, then go out and walk the circle as closely as the streets allow. This is a low tech version of the deríve app I made last week.
- [Rebecca Solnit’s sentences are archipelagos of thought. You …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/b1c21941f7/): Rebecca Solnit’s sentences are archipelagos of thought. You step onto one clause and find another small island appearing just beyond it: a memory, a road, an old map, a story someone told her, a political fact that refuses to stay merely political. The sentence does not hurry you to its conclusion. It gives you somewhere to stand, then asks whether you might look sideways.
- [It feels to me as though this is …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/921af64165/): It feels to me as though this is the only true choice we have.
- [I’ve been thinking about the difference between critical …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/020583453e/): I’ve been thinking about the difference between critical thinking and the kind of intelligence that has to sit beside it.
- [Dusting off the old street photography and field …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/9cf666b2e8/): Dusting off the old street photography and field note cameras this morning. The first one out of the drawer is my old Olympus Tough: compact, waterproof, shockproof, and made for being carried rather than protected.
- [The mistake is to build the gift shop …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/625d8fd799/): The mistake is to build the gift shop first.
- [I keep coming back to this: people are …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/94f643ce28/): I keep coming back to this: people are looking for something genuine.
- [Thinking with my feet I have started calling …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/b3c817141a/): Thinking with my feet
- [This morning I had one of those spells …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/0788214611-2/): This morning I had one of those spells where there were so many possible things to do that I couldn’t bring myself to choose any of them. Nothing dramatic. Just the little wheel-spin of a mind faced with too many open tabs and too many worthy directions.
- [I don’t usually weigh in on political matters, …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/da9cb5cc03/): I don't usually weigh in on political matters, but as an independent creator, discovery is already hard enough. Now the UK government is putting its thumbs down on the scale. YouTube & TikTok Compelled To Boost BBC & ITV Content Under UK Government Plans
- [The brain is a meaning-making machine. It’s constantly …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/244928f8a0/): The brain is a meaning-making machine. It's constantly trying to connect dots, predict what happens next, and turn scattered information into a coherent shape.
- [Everything becomes source material. I have been reading …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/827fb3943a/): Everything becomes source material.
- [There is a particular comedy in being your …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/3b346afde7/): There is a particular comedy in being your own publisher, your own platform, your own little one-person media empire.
- [I’m sure one of the worst nightmares for …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/56006868a6/): I’m sure one of the worst nightmares for any parent is your child going missing.
- [A walk is never just a walk. The …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/21365522a9/): A walk is never just a walk.
- [I keep thinking about the idea of writing …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/a3e2af4c02/): I keep thinking about the idea of writing an ebook that doesn't perpetuate the expectation that a book needs to be read in a straight line. I know this isn't a new idea; that's what the hypertext movement was all about. But the idea of doing this resurfaced for me again this morning while reading Phil Smith's book on mythogeography. He has embedded hyperlinks in the ebook that encourage you to go off on tangents.
- [I fell into this through a glossary. Plaque …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/b28e4ffa95/): I fell into this through a glossary. Plaque tournante. The words unsettled me even before I understood what they truly meant. The turning place. Not just some junction where paths cross, but a point where the weight of a single decision bends the rails of your life onto a new course. Like the time I parked my car before formation and a military policeman stopped me for speeding when I wasn't speeding. It isn't a crossroads, not really. Crossroads imply options laid out before you, inviting you to pick them. This is different. This is the moment when the path beneath your feet shifts almost imperceptibly. Your weight shifts from something unseen, and suddenly the way forward isn't just another choice. It's the only choice that remains. You stand there alone because some choices can't be shared. They're too raw, too precise, like a key turning in a lock that no one else can see. The people who love you might walk beside you right up to the edge of that place, but when the time comes, they can't step over the threshold with you. And that's the thing about a plaque tournante, it doesn't just turn the path. It turns you. And no one else can do the turning but you.
- [I like sharing a campsite with chickens and …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/7c961d2ad9/): I like sharing a campsite with chickens and goats and sheep. It's barebones in the best possibble way. Some of these places can be over produced like they're trying to create a luxury experience in a field.
- [There’s something beautifully ridiculous about camping and caravaning. …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/61ca012182/): There’s something beautifully ridiculous about camping and caravaning.
- [I’m sunning myself like a shameless lizard on …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/ac65162271/): I'm sunning myself like a shameless lizard on a warm rock. Our camp is set up. I've cracked open the first Punk IPA of our extended weekend. Aerosmith's Amazing is playing in the background, blending in with the goats. A couple of chickens came by earlier to greet us. My first chicken welcoming committee. They seemed eager to tell us all about their farm. I have no plans this evening beyond the plans I'm executing right now, which is nothing.
- [We’re headed up north for a few days …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/885fa28455/): We're headed up north for a few days of camping near the River Wyre. We chose the spot because it's near Blackpool and the Lytham Festival is on, and we scored some free tickets to see the Petshop Boys and the Scissor Sisters on Saturday night. Blackpool is a good distance from us, so we decided to make it a four-day weekend. We've been to Blackpool once before. It's a seaside town that has seen better days. This trip, we'll spend more time in the smaller coastal towns and do more hiking.
- [Went to look at a caravan this evening. …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/760555c695/): Went to look at a caravan this evening. It was older than it looked in the photos.
- [This is what I imagined the old hypertext …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/56624c27eb/): This is what I imagined the old hypertext dream would be like before it got usurped by feeds, timelines, dashboards, and engagement funnels. What I find beautiful about the Universal Turing Machine memoir project is the form matches the nature of memory. The calendar suggests that we pass through time in a straight line. However, we don't experience time in a straight line. At any given moment, your mind is in the past, the future, or, if you are disciplined enough, it resides in the present moment (in my experience, the mind only ever seems to be in the present for very short bursts of time).
- [i love a good collage, and a poem …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/6dd6d28f4e/): i love a good collage, and a poem to boot. this piece from laura holly charman feels like a anti-self-hlep manifesto. instead of asking for the usual trope of certainty, happiness, or success, she's asking to be disassembled and put back together in a way that only discomfort can do.
- [There’s a useful little door in Peter Carroll’s …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/7895a44717/): There’s a useful little door in Peter Carroll’s chaos magic that doesn’t require you to become a magician, buy the robes, or swallow the whole metaphysical pill.
- [One of the traps in collaborative leadership is …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/0c54518d21/): One of the traps in collaborative leadership is thinking that collaboration begins when we put people in the same room.
- [I’m back inside Tarot of Self-Discovery: A Jungian …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/04cee0b130/): I’m back inside Tarot of Self-Discovery: A Jungian Guide to Tarot for Therapy, Inner Healing, and Personal Growth, and I can feel why the psychological approach to tarot keeps calling me.
- [I finished reading Rebecca Blood‘s book, The Weblog …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/010c305855/): I finished reading Rebecca Blood's book, The Weblog Handbook: Practical Advice on Creating and Maintaining Your Blog. The book may be obsolete in its instructions, but not in its philosophy. That often happens with books written before a medium becomes an industry. They describe a culture before it becomes a market.
- [Decentralised leadership is surprisingly simple: Leadership is not …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/df88368305/): Decentralised leadership is surprisingly simple:
- [Once upon a time, I was a news …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/01ceda0aab/): Once upon a time, I was a news junkie. Devouring multiple newspapers and magazines. I wanted to know what was happening in the world. Partly because of my job — I was an infantry officer — and partly because I just liked knowing what was going on in the world. Then something changed.
- [I like this Kurt Vonnegut quote: “We are …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/13477c420c/): I like this Kurt Vonnegut quote: "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."
- [5am on a Saturday morning. I see this …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/a08fb99605/): 5am on a Saturday morning. I see this view every day, but today the cloud formation caught my attention. Prospects of a new day.
- [We’re behind enemy lines now. Big tech. Algorithmic …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/373599cef6/): We’re behind enemy lines now.
- [going crazy from the heat…i’m on my way …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/a6cd8c2677/): going crazy from the heat...i'm on my way down to All Saints Church in Sutton Courtenay for the #1984symposium and to pay homage to Eric Arthur Blair, aka George Orwell. As I make the pilgrimage down to Sutton Courtenay, what I'm holding in my mind is this: Orwell didn't predict the future. What he did do was give us names to patterns that recur whenever power seeks to dominate perception:
- [If you want to get a taste of …](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/b061cef4f8/): If you want to get a taste of what we gave up when we sold our souls to social media platforms for convenience and "reach," read Rebecca Blood's The Weblog Handbook: Practical Advice on Creating and Maintaining Your Blog. There's no going back, for sure, at least not physically, but maybe philosophically. Mentally and spiritually, you could find your way back. Just saying...
- [](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/1128396547-2/): You will have the whole spectrum of experience at your fingertips, not as some tidy menu of moods, but as a roaring carnival of sensation, memory, dream, dread, hunger, laughter, grief, lust, silence, and starlight.
- [](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/428183fb51/): I finished Spotify the Gnostics, Here's the First Church of David Bowie.
- [](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/61dc0e6c0f/): I asked this question a couple of years ago. I would rephrase the question now. The world definitely doesn't owe you a meaning. You have to make it for yourself. It's built slowly from the choices you make that compound over time. You can be free without direction. You can have direction without freedom. What really matters, though, is whether you can wake up and choose the same life again.
- [](https://www.soulcruzer.com/notes/792da7eee2/): I'm wondering if invoking the ends justify the means argument to support why it's ok to use AI in creative endeavours is a little extreme. I was reading Moody Warlock's blog post last night about using AI for DND worldbuilding. His main argument against the use of AI is that there is no blood, sweat, and tears involved in the process. That using AI is a shortcut to the end result. For him the journey to the end is the main point. For him, if there is no struggle, then the end is hollow. This is what conjured up the 'ends justify the means' idea in my head. For me, if a DM creates a brilliant campaign that their players enjoy, then in my mind, what does it matter if they used AI or not in the worldbuilding? The point, or the end, is the players having a great gaming experience.
