Those Transhuman Bast*rds SCRIPT PREVIEW
The shooting script for Those Transhuman Basta*rds came in at 4500 words 😱 I also decided to add a location shoot for this video, as one of the texts I reference is actually set in Bali! So the video essay will now be released on the channel a week later, on Saturday 11 July. ButContinue reading “Those Transhuman Bast*rds SCRIPT PREVIEW”

Backrooms is avant-garde art for normies
It’s 1990. This morning I found an open door in the shopping centre of the dull commuter town I live in. Beyond the door are a series of large empty rooms, poorly lit, with large boxes. Backrooms. I phoned my friend Matthew Woods. Woodsy. He pedaled over his BMX and together we’re going to exploreContinue reading “Backrooms is avant-garde art for normies”
The most hated philosophy
Ah, yes, POSTMODERNISM The most hated of all obscure philosophies. The “postmodernists” like Lyotard, Baudrillard, Foucault etc were big in the 80s then drifted out of fashion… …only to be Streisand effected back to life by their haters, not least Jordan Peterson, who shrieked about the Evils of Postmodernism so long and so hard thatContinue reading “The most hated philosophy”
Hauntology
Which future from the past haunts your now? If you’re alive and watching this in 2026 you are likely haunted by one of two great stories of the future. The future of the space rocket, the warp drive, the starship. Human technology will take us to the stars, to strange new worlds, to meet theContinue reading “Hauntology”

Talking sh*t
How did Ursula K Le Guin become the most famous science fiction writer of her generation? I have a theory. By the 1960s science fiction had decided that the future was in space, and the Space Race sealed the deal. A generation of SF writers focussed all their attention on how space exploration would becomeContinue reading “Talking sh*t”
The Toilet MEMBER PREVIEW
Last year a member of the Science Fiction community jokingly asked my opinion of Skibidi Toilet, a Gen-Alpha brainrot “kids show” on YouTube with billions of views. And by far the most watched science fiction narrative of the 21st century. “Good” and “bad” don’t have a place in critical thinking about culture. Skibidi Toilet is.Continue reading “The Toilet MEMBER PREVIEW”
The myth that made Interstellar
Longterm members of our community know about myth, but new members might be scratching your heads. Myth is old stories about why the sun rises etc. Science fiction is the extrapolation of scientific FACT. They are NOT the same. Let’s talk. In fact that idea about myths being stories to explain the sun rising (etc)Continue reading “The myth that made Interstellar”
2026 : the year World War 3 begins
To my Gen-X compatriots, to the Boomers and Millenials, and to Gen-Z who will have to clean up this mess we all made… …can we agree that Star Trek is the future we would all like? A future in which poverty is eradicated, disease is a mere curiosity of the past, humanity has put asideContinue reading “2026 : the year World War 3 begins”
