<Technolalia> focuses on Philosophy, Culture, and Tech and how those three categories interact. The content stems from original pieces to curated links and the occasional podcast.
Last time we took a look at Haunticide. Haunticide is critical of nostalgia in an age where nostalgia seems ever-present. Haunticide is a conceptual tool to help us be wary of nostalgia but this wariness should not be confused with adversity; it’s a nostalgia for the return of difference, a return for what is to come and what is possible.
Technolalia will be returning very soon. Took a bit of a break due to burnout, health and family planning early this year.
I needed time to reflect and think. I realized I wasn’t giving myself enough time to linger in my thoughts like I had in the past. Having time to reflect on my personal relationship with philosophy was and what philosophy “meant” to me, was something I was desperately trying to uncover.
Writing something each week can slowly mold from something of a passion to write turns into the Labour to write. Filled with resentment and lack of motivation at the very ideas one was once fond of.
I’ll be back shortly with brand new ideas and podcasts and other goodies. I just wanted you all to know where I’ve been recently.
More to come…

“It’s useless to wait-for a breakthrough, for the revolution, the nuclear apocalypse or a social movement. To go on waiting is madness. The catastrophe is not coming, it is here. We are already situated within the collapse of a civilization. It is within this reality that we must choose sides.”
