I am writing again. I am writing about how we distinguish inner and outer reality, whether we are losing the ability to do so, the origins of the “artificial” as a domain distinguishable from the closed loop of sensing and action, the dream as the first technology, astral projection protocols, recursion, simulation, the body as the oldest psychotropic medium. Read my essay-parable “A world that is also a demon” at Surplus Reality, an extended study of artifice in all its forms. Link in bio.
