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. If you have any questions or you'd like to contact me about anything my email is ``[email protected]``. I generally respond pretty quickly. Here's my [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/theofficialmalcolmcarter/) and [Spotify](https://www.instagram.com/theofficialmalcolmcarter/) too if you're interested. ![[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. Peace and everlasting victory to you all.
