Preparing for End Times by getting a Ph.D. in philosophy. Tea and coffee. Walking around and looking at stuff. Getting played by girls. Sublimating and desublimating. Sublating and ablating. Also: philosophy (hermeneutics, phenomenology, the Frankfurt School, marxism, and stuff like that), literature (mostly modern and postmodern, but also science fiction and the literature of the fantastic in general . . . among other stuff), art (Francis Bacon, Barnett Newman, Joan Miro, Joseph Cornell, Hieronymus Bosch, Caspar David Friedrich, Paul Klee, etcetera), music, film, comics, architecture, lists, maps and cartography, the arctic and other polar regions, astronomy, biology (especially marine biology and entymology), evolutionary theory, history (mostly western, and mostly ancient, medieval, and early modern), natural history, the history of natural history, the history of science and technology, pseudoscience, religion (Christianity mostly), apocalyptic visions, the occult and esotericism, alchemy, fairy/folk tales and mythology (especially Irish), bestiaries, ghosts, corpse candles and spooklights and other anomalous luminous phenomena, demonology, monsters, robots, aliens, astrobiology, artificial life, cryptozoology, Coast to Coast AM, hollow Earth theory, ufology, secret societies, conspiracy theories, crackpottery, anomalistics, Outside Context Problems, and the Codex Serephinianus.
