Already finished the first Harry Potter book, but that's mostly because it's the shortest and easy to digest. Onwards!

I read all of Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman” from beginning to end. Now I’m reading the prequel that came out last year.

I also read “PREACHER” in its entirety (so, second time through for most of it) in preparation for the third season of the show.

Lotsa comics and magazines... not a book lately.

So in about 21 days, i finished the 2nd, 3rd, and half of the 4th Harry Potter books. And here I thought they'd carry me through the end of the year.

i was searching for articles on conflicting moral codes and ran into this great little publication. just finished 3 articles (the first one germane to my search, the second one because someone had to finally say so, the third one because it echoes my constant complaint against stupidly calling horrible events “tragedies” —but the third one takes the “tragedy”label consciously and runs with it, and does so brilliantly).

https://thesmartset.com/the-clash-of...ee-moralities/

https://thesmartset.com/laughing-heathens/

https://thesmartset.com/something-is...ca/#more-40671

this is better than i regularly find in paywalled subscription-only publications. highly bookmarkable. a real pleasure.

here’s the front page:

(not really enamored with the pretentious name, but fuck names, read the great content)

I am reading (about 85% through) a book called Panpsychism in the West, detaling the history of the Panpsychic idea in philosophy since ancient times.


Panpsychism is the idea that "Mind" is inherent in all of existence. Hylozoism is the idea that everything is "alive." Pantheism is the idea that everything is "god." quite a lot to take in!

^^oh yeah a. huxley (not thomas) advanced that notion in his peyote book

the brain as a valve to the large mind, not as the seat of the mind

some schools of zen have also a “big mind”theory, search it if curious

even if zen is not of the west it’s been in western culture for nearly a century now, maybe more if you’re jesuit

but anyway this “big mind” business is entirely western

well actually the jungians too... the whole ego/self thing

where does one draw the east/west line

OOH I FORGOT THE DENISOVICH. SORRY.

will update

what i meant was i read him in the 90s

no, how did it go

i read him this century, but i only read what he had written in the 80s

back in the 90s i had begun to read the hacker and the ants and some terrible things happened and i never could continue

anyway my biography is not important lol

what’s important is that there are now 4 books!

Thinking about disrupting my Potter-thon with a read of "Cyber Rights: Defending Free Speech in the Digital Age" by Mike Godwin, even if I just have the 1st edition.


First I need to finish Goblet of Fire though. I'm not going to sidestep in the middle.
