About Me

Fact and Fiction flip roles in an aesthetic invention, which is why Marxists and businessmen hate paintings and flowers. Art by its nature is inspired uselessness, a satisfaction derived from a refined way of wasting our time, never amounting to anything, since the fulfillment of physical need turns art into food. It’s strange that the two great works on the subject are the Critique of Judgment and the Art of Seduction, since Kant was a confirmed bachelor, and sex spoiled aesthetic sensation. The point Hegel makes here is that there is no easy distinction between love and desire, or an ethical will and physical urges, a mystery to unravel at another time in my life.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Actors, agents, murderers, con-artists, fallouts from the Socal realestate collapse, victims of the tech meltdown in the nineties back in the parent's basement, sirens and seducers to track down and embarrass (don't fucking touch me Sam), unrepentent prostitutes and holy men, herione addicts, uncultured rich Orange County elite, Melville specialists who couldn't find a job, prospective suicide bombers in rehab, homosexual surfers, blind people who dress themselves, gas station attendants, cannibals by convinction, women with dirty underwear, guilty posers, people on the witness protection program, migrants, drug mules, mutants, retards, mothers, and dawn breaks on an acid trip in the Mission district in San Fransisco. Amen.

Beauty and Power

Every unearthly experience is a formal effect of physical laws that leaves us unable to cope with routine and reality shows, the irrational product of rational forces that provokes nostalgia for unrea...

The End

You find that you falter at the end of a certain phase of your life, when almost everything shatters into incoherence and incommunication, where it will remain for some undetermiable length, or e...

Critical Theory

Academics today never consult dictionaries, since the past is no guide for the present, and glossy neologisms taken from a species of French spoken by insane asylum inmates shine much more brightly on...

Scattered Reflections on Crime, Rebellion and Capital

Conservatives have it right when they dismiss what they wrongfully refer to as the theory of "class warfare."  The analysis of economic interests has never been adequate in isolating the motivati...
