𝒮ℰ𝒜𝒮𝒪𝒩 𝒪𝒩ℰ： “ℬℒ𝒪𝒪𝒟” 🩸

“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝, 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬.”

Aren’t you tired of talking about race? In the engineered society of Erehwon Absurdika, reality itself is just another story—one written by the MONOMYTH, an AI system that has reduced human existence to a carefully curated narrative. “NO RACE. NO RELIGION. NO INDIVIDUALISM.” In this sterile utopia, your worth is measured by a Social Credit Score based solely on your narrative significance. Protagonists thrive while “Unfinished Characters” face erasure from existence itself. But beneath the surface, PLOT-HOLES are appearing. Fractures in reality where time and memory collapse. As the walls between fiction and truth crumble, a band of Unfinished Characters fight to reclaim their Significance. The narrative is not about unlocking the secrets of the universe, it’s about learning to live without them. It’s about how stories and reality inform each other; how we project real parts of ourselves into our fiction and turn it into something meaningful. The novel brings to focus the idea of what “myths” whether that be religion, gender, race, politics, socialism, etc… are nothing more than a conjuring trick taking place; it has turned reality inside out, it has emptied it of history and has filled it with nature, it has removed from things their human meaning so as to make them signify human insignificance. The function of myth is to empty reality: it is, literally a ceaseless flowing out, a hemorrhage, or perhaps an evaporation, in short a perceptible absence.

might not seem like much but being mentioned or involved even the slightest, even by sight, in an essay about fashion by one of the most eloquent, forward-thinking, knowledgeable creators i had the privilege of coming across and absolute favorite who brings such an unique twist on fashion theory…it’s beyond an honour and makes all the work i put into this so worth it❤️

This is what came out of me today

Discothéque Space Capsule - Roppongi, Tokyo (1968)

Underground nightclub designed by Kisho Kurokawa. The floors, walls, and ceilings are all constructed of reflective stainless steel. The ceiling is covered with computer-controlled tri-color lights and a ‘television chandelier’, with each TV tuned to a different channel. A stage in the center is used for fashion shows, avant-garde productions and poetry readings. 

Another great example of 1960s-1970s space-age futurism influencing the later Y2K style in the 90s.

America was built on a protest (and genocide and slavery).

“The main contradiction of liberal democracy is that it has largely been shaped through a history of various forms of illegal civil disobedience against entrenched power structures. Such civil disobedience is (retrospectively) seen as justified, and the people committing it are (retrospectively) seen as heroes… but each successive generation is asked to believe that any further civil disobedience would be unreasonable.”
