Anything that gets in the way of clear communications...is f*ck!ng stupid.
But don't take my word for it, just ask "them".

“Illuminated by lightning flashes of descriptive brilliance, Brown’s prose evokes melodrama, Greek tragedy and postmodern alienation…”

“Perhaps because Scotland is placed geographically and linguistically at the periphery of the United Kingdom by an Anglo-centric vision, Scottish writers often write from and about particular places”

“To pick up a pen is to place oneself outside the community… it is not really possible to write about community and remain uncompromised”

“I remember the first novel in English I read through was a Scottish novel called THE HOUSE WITH THE GREEN SHUTTERS. […] When I read that, I wanted to be Scotch.”

Donald Trump is almost perfectly defined by the very thing his cult proclaimed was a ”dangerous left-wing radical ideology”.
But the ironic detachment as described by the aesthetic & social theories of #postmodernism, has not been expressed more thoroughly by any other #dictator, like it has been by Donald Trump.
His fumbling, incompetence & foolishness are the expressions of ironic detachment which his audience find familiar, soothing, edgy and contemporary.
The rise of #stupidindividualism as a common sense path
Part of the shitty mess we’re in comes from the failure of #DIY culture and the rise of #stupidindividualism as the common sense path. #stupidindividualism is completely unscalable in social terms. It fragments, isolates, and exhausts. That isn’t accidental, it’s a classic divide-and-control strategy of the #deathcult. And we need to consciously step away, and away, and far away from this. An example, over the last 20 years, I’ve answered the same questions individually, over and […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-rise-of-stupidindividualism-as-a-mainstream-path/
Trump and Postmodernism – Sean Illing

Morality isn’t a cosmic scoreboard. It’s social signalling with badges of power stitched in.

In this post, I dismantle the cosy story that ‘good’ and ‘bad’ map onto metaphysical truths, and show how authority collapses complexity into a verdict and calls it reality.

Social value, personal value, and the chicken-and-egg problem
We still haven’t solved this. Looking back at a conversation from six years ago, what stands out isn’t disagreement - it’s how hard it is to even name the problem we keep circling. Over the last 20 years, again and again, the discussion slips into the same dead end: personal value versus social value, framed through the language of #dotcons platforms, followers, influence, and business growth. What we need to learn from this is the confusion isn’t accidental, it is structural. What […]https://hamishcampbell.com/social-value-personal-value-and-the-chicken-and-egg-problem/
The Galleria at Erieview, shot on defective #Polaroid 600 using a OneStep found in the office supply cabinet. (My 680 is out for repair.)
There are two cartridges of bad left, I’ll get three fresh packs to shoot at #MotorCityFurryCon in February.

New essay: The Rhetoric of Evil, a deflationary account of how the word 'evil' persists long after the metaphysics that birthed it evaporated.
Through the MEOW framework I track how entities conspire to reify a term that explains nothing yet structures everything.

I’ve been up all night building something I probably should have left to saner versions of myself: a custom GPT that actually internalises my Mediated Encounter Ontology (MEOW) and my forthcoming Language Insufficiency Hypothesis (LIH).
