The self is an illusion, subjectivity is the smoke and the mirrors, agency is the person behind the curtain, and individuation is the plot one haphazardly throws together to make sense of a dream.

Philosophy destroyed my life and took away every hope I had. It made me into an outcast, and I've been told multiple times that I should give up on it. It has shown me only failure, but I guess I'm still doing it anyways. Happy World Philosophy Day.

New on my blog: I posted a paper I wrote earlier this year, “Merleau-Ponty’s Ontology of Sense and Non-Sense.” I’m pretty proud of it and plan to include it in a future edition of my book.
