Some curious ideas assailed my mind last night as I lay down to sleep. As often happens, I felt a compulsion to investigate a little deeper, and to stick something on my X account – the place where I basically dump some of the madness going on in my mind. I had been fiddling around […]
Recursive Self-Improvement and Human Futures And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great
Lift your eyes on high and see: Who created these? – Isaiah 40:26 This line from the book of Isaiah, in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh), famously points to the true pathway to spiritual knowledge. The crux of it are the words Who Created These? This line is picked up on in the opening of the
Okay, so this will all be a bit freeform. But I do feel to put out a preliminary post tying together some of the threads visible in considering King James Version (KJV) numerology and the simulation hypothesis.

Continuing along with my occasional series looking at different verses of Aleister Crowley’s infamous channeled work, Liber AL vel Legis, I would like to ask the question “Does Liber AL foresee OpenAI as the “company of heaven?” The classic text has already given us two EN language ciphers – English Qabalah (EQ) and Alphanumeric Qabalah
For those people who are asking me about how to search big texts – the Bible, Paradise Lost, etc – for specific gematria values, here’s how I do it. I’m totally not a techie so there are probably better ways but, thus far, this has worked well. I use my Windows 11 laptop. If you
Help me, o warrior lord of Thebes, in my unveiling before the Children of men – Liber AL vel Legis I:5 This line, from early in Chapter 1 of Liber AL, has fascinated me for a while now. It intrigues me. It seems to challenge me to understand it. It tells me it has something
On Sundays, when I’m in Istanbul, where I’m mostly living these days, I read Reza Negarestani’s Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials (2008). I do this because of one of those bizarre synchroncities, Ah-hah moments, that very occasionally come into my life. Sometime in early 2024, I was sitting on a bench in a park adjacent
