The Original Philosophy of Nothing Ever Happens (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ahh, Parmenides! He seems to represent everything that the free spirit ought to reject. Where he says reason, we scream for the passions. Where he says that the senses deceive, we cry for radical empiricism. Where he says reality is “all, together, one, continuous,” there comes a holler for pluralism.

You’ll encounter my critically acclaimed “Dogian Aphorisms” (and dialogues) that cut through dry academic fog and constant Substack surface-level 5-min-reading-time book-report slop, revealing many secrets in plain sight that you haven’t heard of Heraclitus.
