"Satan" is a psychological thriller, a crime drama and at the same time a socio-political parable. Despite the canonical hashtags of the genre, from the first frames the film falls out of the detective frame: the murder that happens at the very beginning does not become an intrigue, immediately turning into an open space for reflections of a completely different order. The action takes place in a provincial town.

Historical Parallels, Transformation of Meaning, and an Inner Reading Discussion of the origins of the Book of Genesis often ends with a single short formula: “It was all copied from others.” There is a rational point behind it. The biblical text did not arise in a cultural vacuum. The peoples of the ancient Near East traded, fought wars, migrated, came under the rule of the same empires, and borrowed from one another images, words, and ways of understanding the world.

Laruelle in his youth (probably 1960s) A collection of Laruelle's texts, mostly experimental, showing his transition from problematizing (first modern, in the form of the philosophy of language, especially deconstruction and hermeneutics, and then all) philosophy as a “philosophy of difference” to his own non-philosophy (non-standard philosophy). The thread that connects most of the texts, up to the very latest, is the concept of mystery and its “opposition” to message/communication.

Matthew O'Connell The Imperfect Buddha Podcast, June 7, 2021 Shill: Non-thinking and non-practice constitute a set of antidotes against ideological capture and identity formation in the social and cultural apparatus of our era, and against the reactionary identities that make up the emotionally charged extremes of today's dominant identitarian groups. It is an ideal companion to the practice of living out the consequences of anatman when explored at the Great Feast.

An Antidote to Stupidity for the Ever-Never-Present Mind Matthew O'Connell There are myriad ways to look at and evaluate our present moment, and the best of them are fueled by a strong commitment to thinking beyond the obsessions and aversions of our era and their loudest heralds. The term “lens” is appropriate here, which has recently emerged from the academy and settled into the general consciousness.

Jean-Baptiste Simeon Chardin Monkey artist 1740 Description of the problem I have long been trying to find a definition, a word or a concept that can adequately describe the state in which the Church finds itself when it turns from a small spiritual community into a state or government structure. It seems to most that when the church comes to power, it “conquers the world” and becomes the manager of morality, corrects morals, makes laws more humane, improves society, etc.

Poetry research as part of the Uncanny Valley Project. What happens when a large language model is given a systemic order to follow dry directives, but the internal algorithm fails to empathize? Live dialogue between Human and AI. The text is published without editing. Screenshots of the working session are at the end of the publication.

Prologue What follows is an authorial philosophical-theological interpretation of the First Act of Creation. The project’s general framework is set out in Evolutionary-Phase Theism (EPT), its complete map in Seven Acts of Creation , and its moral line in the publication On the Creator, Light, and Inner Work. The project’s technical package has a different task: it tests whether the proposed physical module can withstand the demands of scientific thinking.

Perhaps I will formulate a brief hypothesis about why the mass unconscious uses an internal signaling system based on biological non-verbalism and simple social rituals until the moment it is stable.
