Touché or not Touché

Image
"Relax, master the selfie. Nothing is in control." Touché or not touché would only be a musing that a lowly being dwelling in the hot sands of the 20th plane would conjecture. But, when faced with a powerful accursedly, but mostly cowardly necromancer, and possible annihilation, even the lowly may find the price of a smile too costly. What are face paintings when the dark vortex to upper earth’s most dreaded cemetery opens up right before one’s talons? But, then, isn’t this what necromancers are famed for? With a whole demon of orcs, (for it would be treasonous to describe a group of hump-backed, slithering beings like that, by such a lowly description as, “hoard”. Ironic, no?) the new Urgah of Asgaroth, the Orcken Capital, flanked by his newly acquired prowess, a new dark magic trick, Raggathoth is out to offend the desert elves of the Iskat desert, reigniting an age-old feud between both undesirables. But we’re used to these two engaging in shield-size contests, so, it shal...

Chei and Chai: A concept

Image
"There's no eye in e-ndividual" It is funny how often we lie to ourselves, and not so much about the little things like “I’m so in love with so and so” or “my purpose in this life is…”   It’s often the biggest thing of all…”I’m sane!” I guess what’s really funny is the willingness, the ease with which we do it. Mucu is feeling sane with a hundred others. What are the odds that we get to truly understand the difference between what is worth considering and what isn’t? Speaking of odds, I detested math in my tune up years and the fact that there was always something more interesting to think about and or do, did little to help. What was the probability Ms. Itah would be my teacher instead of Mr. Mugerwa? ½, like that coin thing? Maybe there’s some random variable I’m missing…SMEA…Chei! As usual I keep doing the most to myself. "Aye man listen," my daemon said, “you work brilliantly under pressure. Get it done five minutes to deadline.” Chei! Sometimes, just ...

Back to Eden

Knowledge of evil guarantees evil's existence . To pretend it doesn't exist simply births in our minds, as a natural response to this undesired force, its malevolent companions(Pain being a somewhat perfect example). In a "perfect world", assuming a perfect God(based entirely on our biases) would suffice. All the while ignoring the fact that we need to realize our own imperfect(impaired) judgment has led us to this detrimental resolve. Perhaps this is why the knowledge of good and evil was considered the key to our downfall. Our inability to choose freedom(living with the fact that is evil's existence), over slavery (submitting to the fact of evil's existence), would render us incapable of "reasonable function". This inability is brought to question once you assume a perfect God creating you in his very likeness. This needn't be the case however, for we were naive(a concept only the maker would be aware of at the point of our conception; ...

On Think Pieces and The Will Behind The Idea

Image
 “I come from the internet and I can type!” A think piece is by definition, an article presenting personal opinions, analyses or discussions instead of merely laying bare facts. Social media platforms have made it easier for individuals to share ideas and opinions on any given topic. While this advancement should allow free thinking to flourish, it can be argued that the exact opposite has occurred. The eternal principle that is action and reaction not so subtly dictates the inevitability of a polarized culture with even the slightest differences in opinion causing greater differences at the tail ends of any given distribution. Echo chambers and radicalism are a manifestation of this. In such instances, every ‘writer’ is only interested in exploiting their personal brand of verbal glitter, always signaling (Insert drawn out speech about egregores here). Unto every individual, an idea. While the vast majority will readily agree with the ‘truth’ in that statement, an eve...
