A Reluctantly Genuine Robot

The bot seems uneasy and this unease gets passed to the user. Are we supposed to be talking to someone or not? What’s the purpose, ChatGPT? Who’s in the liminality here: the chat bot or the users?

An Automatonamous DisOrganizationof RealityGlitch Hacktivists WARNING: The mind you f#+k is usually your own So, when I started this site up, I thought I would share a bunch of stuff that was liminal (things besides just pictures of liminal spaces). Turns out, whenever I start thinking about sharing something, it ceases to seem so liminal.Continue reading “Welcome to LiminalSec”

Watch “Mischief at the Goblin Carnival” on YouTube

The Goblins have stolen all the world’s Funhouse Mirrors in order to open their own Circus – a front for their strange Goblinoid magics: Funhouse hellmouths and pools that steal the stars. Will their caper be the end of #thegame23 ? Or is this all part of the #dataplex #00ag9603 and #KSTXI – a possibleContinue reading “Watch “Mischief at the Goblin Carnival” on YouTube”

Exhilarating Irrelevance

Thoughts on the nature of this post-actualized, collectively (de)constructed “spectre” called reality. Please draw your attention to humanity’s ironic counterintuitive obsession with positivistic empiricism and reductionism, from which we expect to discover macro-level Truth that will provide meaning or direction. Reality is a reflexive process of grinding potentialities of uncertainty, the lovemaking of probabilities. ItContinue reading “Exhilarating Irrelevance”

Committee for Surrealist Investigation of Claims of the Normal. (CSICON)

Memes from the land of WTAF

Sometimes inspiration hits you like a thousand plastic turtles in your cochles. These are remnants of those times… They went underground like veteran sewer rats fleeing a clown-driven ambulance. Everything caught fire in a flourish of dimpled marshmallow. Two things became evident in the aftermath of all that had transpired: 1. She wasn’t going toContinue reading “Memes from the land of WTAF”

Thoughts on the Liminality (for non heroes)

Liminality is the middle phase of a right of passage, when the initiate has died to their old life, but not yet ascended to a new one. The initiate is betwixt and between, wandering in a land of ghosts and untamed magic. While the Liminality is a lonely, often scary place, it is a necessaryContinue reading “Thoughts on the Liminality (for non heroes)”

Xenolife

this is not a sob story. This is a new kind of freedom, the kind human beings cannot imagine. For to recognize oneself as otherworldly is to open up another world of possibility.

The Despair Code (thoughts)

Warning: Discussion of Existential Reality. May lead to Despair (3223412) Living out here in the Liminality, we spin through the void – somewhere between success and failure, urban and rural, youth and old age, responsibility and recklessness.
