AMMDI is an open-notebook hypertext writing experiment, authored by Mike Travers aka mtraven. It's a work in progress and some parts are more polished than others. Comments welcome! More.
SFI has a critique of materialist science, but Garfield still feels drawn to the fringe (OK that I can buy into).
"No man is an island, but some are very long peninsulas"
Etymology of weird ≡ wyrd ≡ twisted ≡ fractal
"It's all fun and games until someone loses an I" (Zen dad joke)
Fractalnoia – name for the condition induced by crazy internet media
Crowley should be up with Pound, Einstein, Picasso as modernist figure

Grammar of Process, myth shows the shape of things (OK, thats on my wavelength). Ontological morphology
Dōgen episode of WS: singularity of the moment. Should listen to that one.
The creepy avidity of life...finding an opening and seething through. Your geraniums look beautiful and homey but it's the same thing. A loathsome profigacy (From Lovecraft). Source of all beauty?
Talk by John Pepper at National Cancer Institute. About nutrition and cancer as a metabolic thing. Sugar and petroleum have tumorized us.
Disruption as weirding capitalism. Cash in and be Weird Consultants, get spots on CNN explaining the Weird Times too the masses
WS will die if there is ever a WS department...WS is what escapes the episteme. Compared later to TAZ theory of Hakim Bey – as soon as utopia is identified it becomes distopia.
