The tree of knowledge
from the best of things down to the worst
will cause great pain if we dare taste its fruit.
To end our sorrows,
much
more
must
be done
than merely chopping down the tree, to leave the rest flat as the land.
The
unseen
roots
must be
pulled out
as well.

I'm merging the variety of topics I've blogged about--which include literary and film analyses, anarchism, socialism, libertarian-leaning Marxism, narcissistic abuse, and psychoanalysis--into a coherent philosophy centred on dialectical materialism, dialectical monism, and object relations theory. Now, one dialectical opposition is that between the erotic and the ascetic, so accordingly, my writing encompasses the sexual as well as the philosophical; the former can be found in my publications on the Literotica website, as well as my self-published (erotic) horror writing on Amazon.
