Pamir Kush Region: Bronze Age Linguistics and Socio-musicology of Heavy Metal. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This volume has two essays on a culture region I’m calling the Pamir-Kush region. The Western Himalayan Mountains kind of split to the north as the Pamirs and the southwest as the Hindu Kush. I’m thinking of the region combined to explore some of the relations of the cultural history of the two regions.The great cities of the Silk Road during the medieval and early modern periods had their predecessors, as did the literary and ritual traditions that were carried to South Asia and the Iranian Pla
Conspiracy, migration, and social media (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have a friend who is addicted to social media and who is passionate about conspiracy theories.

I don’t think it is a doomsday device, and I don’t think it will solve our most fundamental problems.Even if it helps us cure cancer, I suspect most people will be unable to afford the cure. And if it turns into a ‘Terminator’ kind of ‘kill all humans’ type of thing, it still won’t really be able to think, so we’ll be able to destroy it without too much fuss, as long as we’re willing to work together.So, these are deeper issues: economic equality an
And so, here I sit… (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is this a time for poetry? or prose? I kind of rather think a poem is in order, and yet I seem to be moving forward with a fluid prose, and it feels groovy, so let’s roll with it for the moment.I’ve … Read more
