Last year while studying at a Christian-infested university, one of the devout admonished me for logically constructing ‘morals’ as a distinct and separate idea from ‘theism’. He was uncomfortable that I had provided verifiable and immediately accessible evidence that morals do not stem from religions, much less his and the other students’. Despite his failedContinue reading “Morality”
The Mad Scottish Woman
I named a creek after her todayThe name of which she wasn’t appreciativeHappy the water was running awayThe appellation was evocative. Her sideways glance forewarnedOf a suppressed desire to harmAnd I, being well informed,Stood beyond the reach of her arm. ‘Lunch I shall need’, I did so proclaim‘A lovely hot shower you shall need’, saysContinue reading “The Mad Scottish Woman”

Aventura
‘Twas a dark and stormy nightFog and sleet infesting the atmosphereSails tearing from the riggingAnd mutineers lurking in the hull. Battered by these insalubrious ethersWeakened by these vindictive soulsI forge forwardOver towering crest and yawning trough. My treasures safe in the holdMy bow impregnableAnd though my deck be treacherous with iceMy rudder steers us true.Continue reading “Aventura”
Secondary Progression
Comparison I discovered yesterday that my mother and father both have the same progression cycle: at the moment, they are one year away from Progressed Moon conjunct Progressed Sun. Both are experiencing a phase of life where they are throwing away many things and clearing out the old to make way for the new, asContinue reading “Secondary Progression”
Australian Shame
I’m becoming more and more certain as I engage in my second degree that Australia, the white side of the society, is deeply ashamed of itself and rightly so. This would explain the way many Australians are assimilating into American culture: by divesting themselves of their brutal and hypocritical past and aligning themselves with theContinue reading “Australian Shame”
Dispossession, Mining & Technologies
This essay argues that the dispossession of native peoples around the globe originates within the worldview of the colonial empires of western Europe. This worldview underpins globalisation and continues impacting human lives and natural ecosystems. In Australia, one clear example of this worldview in practice is mining: one tentacle of globalised industry. The result forContinue reading “Dispossession, Mining & Technologies”
Pluto Transit Midheaven
Pluto symbolises the termination of something, its disintegration, and that thing’s recomposition. The Ninth is what we know about the world, the Tenth our place in the world based on our comprehension, and the MC what we stand for and what component we are in society. Everything attempted until this transit falls apart as theContinue reading “Pluto Transit Midheaven”
Universal Control
No lag. At all. For all the non-tech and non-Apple users who may read this, let me explain. Since Jobs unveiled MobileMe a very long time ago, the idea of linking all your data and devices together disturbed the ‘people’ at Microsoft, RIM, Motorola, Samsung and Nokia: ‘How could this even be possible?’ they wailed,Continue reading “Universal Control”
