Agitprop poster by Vladimir Mayakovsky ( Владимир Маяковский ) The New Paradigm | Friday – November 13, 2026 F or some time now, I have been compelled to write about the issue of AI ( Artificial Intelligence ), and this is why I have decided to add yet another post to my " Future series ". In this case, a post exploring the new and ever emerging paradigm, a topic that I have described to some extent already, elsewhere . Now, I should clarify that this new and emerging paradigm features AI merely as a step on the way, for it is not necessarily the case that AI is the end goal of this process, of this material process  of mechanical proceduralism , and sure it could end up being the case that this new paradigm will feature a world completely beyond our present and current comprehension.

Yahweh in (יהוה‎) : Moses and the Burning Bush My Views on Conversions | Wednesday – November 11, 2026 P eople may be concerned with the question of conversion, and here I am not merely referring to the word "conversion" in its mechanical sense. Indeed, I am specifically referring to converting from one faith to another, seeking fellowship among the followers of one exoteric tradition different from your own, and typically this will revolve around someone seeking knowledge outside their the tradition they grew up in; in modern colloquialism this is typically and simply referred to as undergoing a religious conversion, although this could apply to something different than religiosity, perhaps most notably changing material and ideological outlook . Of course, in the purview of this post I am wholly and one-sidedly interested in religious conversion and I will pay no attention to ideological conversion, a topic for another time.     Now, when it comes to religious conversion...
