A massive Dionysian fresco discovery was unveiled yesterday in Pompeii. Imagine the magnificence of Lord Dionysos, his holy thiasus and maenads, and his sacred mysteries that once filled this amazing space.

My novel ‘El tigre’ is a very musical book. Besides following the structure of a symphony, there are many references to the sounds of Kultur.

So, Elon is moving to eliminate the block feature. Twitter is so toxic that the block feature is essential—otherwise the cancel culture would manage to succeed unfettered. I’ve suffered so much cancel culture and it took me so many efforts to make my Twitter experience a healthy one that I’ll have to close my account if the block feature disappears. It is a paradox that on the completely deregulated Nostr I’ll find more peace.

When I commissioned the logo for the Modern Platonist, I asked the designer to use the International Klein Blue, to which I'm very attached. Of course, he did not. Oddly, still today I admire the work of Yves Klein, even though it is degenerate art.
Klein was a Rosicrucian. I was raised in a house full of Rosicrucian symbolism, because it had been built by the founder of AMORC in Spain, Carme Manrubia. One of the rooms, where rituals were performed, featured a beautiful International Klein Blue glass window.

I’m re-reading Sinclair Lewis’ ‘Elmer Gantry’ for the third time since December. It is a real compulsion. I identify too much with the protagonist. Too many situations, too many thoughts are too familiar for someone like me who’s been a Professional Good Man… I transfer all my past, all my yearnings for a path not taken, abandoned, into the reading of Elmer Gantry’s existence.

To sum up about Nostr:
-It is a good idea but the conversation is extremely niched. It can basically be reduced to: Nostr is so great, bitcoin is god, everybody outside our bubble are losers
-If you aren’t into bitcoin and blockchain you really don’t have a place here. And the people around seem to be proud of this. Somewhat similar to Gab and its hatred of non-Christian users
-There is an insane obsession about money. The zap thing is absolutely ridiculous. It feels so chandala
-Nostr has no true interest in the greater good, not even offering a service for all—even with its crazy potential as such
People, you better change this or Nostr will just be a cult.

The divine Plato reminds us that clarity of being is the true nature of learning (485a.)
I wonder too often what clarity of being we can acquire from technology. Don’t get me wrong: a substantial part of what is my trade today is just tech. But how much true learning is in tech. It is true that the pioneers were enlivened by the learning and the ideas, but how much clarity of being did they acquire? How much clarity of being could we attain with the machine as such?
