Past/Present/Future WIPs (tag game)

Rules: past is a WIP you stopped working on/finished; current is a WIP you're currently working on; future is a WIP you want to write

Thank you for the tag @theeccentricraven !

Past: my first book Bound in Spirals is a portal fantasy story I wrote from early 2015 - early 2018. It is pretty interesting in some regards but mostly reads as someone still figuring out writing as I was going. Too heavily influenced without proper interrogation of the influences. Clumsy handling of some themes that teenage me hadn’t thought all the way through. Some vibrant characters but a lot I would write differently now. I was still figuring myself out too. Was meant to have a sequel and I still intend to revisit it at some point but my current story was more demanding then and still is now.

Current: I started writing The Day My Dream Died in March of 2018 and it is ongoing. A fantasy journey dealing with dreams and living nightmares. Where humanity’s perceptions of the world are projected on an interconnected dreamscape called the undermind that some people can access and manipulate. Influenced by the work of Philip k dick (incl. both bladerunner movies), Ursula le guin, the video games hyper light drifter and breath of the wild, the tao te ching, JC’s avatar, Star Wars, my family, life in general, and my experience living with chronic pain(it pops up in everything I make, really).

Future: Between BiS and TDMDD I wrote a couple short stories in a sort of post-cyberpunk world that I want to turn into an anthology at some point. I also wrote an epic fantasy short story as I was writing the end of BiS as a sort of warmup for TDMDD that I think could easily be expanded into a full novel or novella. Nothing in stone because TDMDD is going to be ongoing for a little while, it’s still the most demanding of me so it gets all my attention.

The Best Books to Read About Philosophy

When it comes to the vast expanse of human knowledge, few realms hold the same level of intrigue and contemplation as philosophy. The study of fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, ethics, and reality has been a cornerstone of intellectual exploration for centuries. As avid seekers of wisdom, we are committed to providing you with a curated list of the best books to read about philosophy. Dive into these literary treasures to embark on a profound journey of philosophical enlightenment.

1. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius:

Our first foray into the world of philosophical literature takes us to the thoughts of Marcus Aurelius, a Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher. “Meditations” is a collection of his personal writings, offering profound insights into Stoicism and the art of living a virtuous life.

2. Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaarder:

For those new to philosophy or seeking an engaging introduction to the subject, “Sophie’s World” is a masterpiece. This novel weaves a captivating narrative while exploring the history of philosophy, making complex ideas accessible to all readers.

3. The Republic by Plato:

Delving into the core of political philosophy, Plato’s “The Republic” examines the ideal society and the concept of justice. It remains a foundational work that continues to shape modern political thought.

4. The Stranger by Albert Camus:

Existentialism takes center stage in Albert Camus’ “The Stranger.” This thought-provoking novel challenges conventional notions of morality and the absurdity of human existence.

5. Being and Time by Martin Heidegger:

Prepare to engage in a deep philosophical dive with Martin Heidegger’s “Being and Time.” This monumental work explores the nature of being and existence, influencing existentialist thought and phenomenology.

6. Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant:

Immanuel Kant’s “Critique of Pure Reason” is a cornerstone of modern philosophy. It examines the nature of human knowledge and the limits of reason, paving the way for critical philosophy.

7. Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche:

Nietzsche’s provocative and often controversial work, “Thus Spoke Zarathustra,” delves into themes of nihilism, the will to power, and the Übermensch (Overman).

8. The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff:

In a delightful fusion of Eastern philosophy and Winnie the Pooh, Benjamin Hoff’s “The Tao of Pooh” introduces readers to Taoism and mindfulness in an accessible and charming manner.

9. A History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell:

For an expansive overview of Western philosophical thought, Bertrand Russell’s “A History of Western Philosophy” is an indispensable resource. It traces the evolution of philosophical ideas from the Pre-Socratic philosophers to the 20th century.

10. The Art of War by Sun Tzu:

While primarily known for its strategic insights, “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu has profound philosophical underpinnings. It explores the nature of conflict, leadership, and the art of diplomacy.

Conclusion:

As dedicated purveyors of knowledge and wisdom, we invite you to embark on a philosophical odyssey through these remarkable books. Whether you’re a seasoned philosopher or a newcomer to the world of profound thought, these works will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on your intellectual journey.

Remember, the pursuit of philosophy is not merely an academic endeavor; it’s a voyage into the depths of human consciousness and the exploration of the fundamental questions that define our existence.

Thoughts on the legacy of existentialism - in literature and in the broader culture?

It still seems alive and well. In the last decade, there was the much-discussed new translation of The Second Sex, Sarah Bakewell's successful At the Existentialist Café (a good book, by the way: non-condescending popular nonfiction), and the fresh relevance of Camus (for The Plague) during the pandemic. In my experience, kids are still discovering Sartre, de Beauvoir, and Camus. I don't think the conditions that made Existentialism thinkable and attractive have really abated. If poststructuralism made its quest for personal authenticity seem naive—how can we be authentic in world of signs and simulacra?—an inversion has taken place now, when the signs and simulacra are so besetting in the online world that the dream of authenticity, of truth to one's own meanings and values, becomes urgent again. A similar inversion has restored the Sartre "universal" model of the intellectual over the more modest "specific" Foucault model in the last 10 years. For all that "wokeness" has been blamed on Foucault, both the woke and the anti-woke intellectuals are much closer to Sartre with their grand, all-encompassing, moralistic pronouncements. In literary terms, its influence is palpable: autofiction might be the most Existentialist of all fictional genres. What is My Struggle but Nausea writ large? What is My Year of Rest and Relaxation but The Stranger in bed rather than jail? Tao Lin has made the rejection of Existentialism the turning point in his life, suggesting its hegemony theretofore over Alt Lit and related. Matt Gasda gave Camus's plays a bad review, but Dimes Square made me think of No Exit. As for me, they're not my own favorite writers, and I've probably read less of them this little post suggests, but I found The Rebel very illuminating and influential on my political thought. (Not only mine: see my video lecture on Richard E. Kim's The Martyred—start around minute 51 in the linked video and then watch the next two videos in the playlist—for an analysis of Existentialist themes in a midcentury Korean-American novel about the Korean War.) Until everybody goes back to church, there will still be Existentialists. And even after everybody goes back to church, there will be Christian Existentialists, like Kierkegaard. We really are thrown into this world, as that old National Socialist Heidegger said, and have to deal with it somehow.

Copywrite - Silence (prod. by Camu Tao)

On his latest single "Silence" the Columbus, Ohio vet Copywrite pays homage to his fallen MHz brother Camu Tao (R.I.P.), who also coincidentally produced the track. 

"This first verse is from a song I wrote to one of Camu's other beats.

I Called it "McCartney & Lennon" likening our friendship + musicianship to the song writing powerhouse of LiverPool's "Fab Four" along with the tragic demise of their friendship, which some could compare to a chapter of what the world witnessed with Tero & i. Mu as y'all knew him.

The song can be found on Copy's latest album "The High Exhaulted II: Scene One" via Man Bites Dog Records Bandcamp.
