I made this site as a sort of blog to share some interesting things I've found along with some stuff like my writing, tech projects, and other creative work. I mostly write about topics like ritual, initiation, esotericism, philosophy, linguistics, complex systems, and cybernetics, with a strong emphasis on German philosophy, Gnosticism, and Indo-European languages, cultures, and religions. Lately I've been working on a novel but I promise I'll post more short form writing on here soon. If you have any questions or you'd like to contact me about anything my email is ``[email protected]``. I generally respond pretty quickly. Also, I don't have a Letterboxd, but I use Rate Your Music for both film and music reviews. Here it is if you're interested: ``https://rateyourmusic.com/~orange14`` ![[sort_sol.jpg]] This is a photograph of a flocking behavior known as sort sol (Danish for 'black sun') which is performed by European Starlings over the marshlands of southwestern Denmark. It's one of my favorite examples of distributed intelligence in nature.
