Homo Mythologus
What is the destiny of our great race - to reach for the stars, or to speed towards the finish line? Ever since the dawn of man, he has stood apart from and above the animal kingdom, and yet he is not the god of this world, but must behold the heavens above and know the scale of his insignificance in the grand scheme of the cosmos. This dual tension has characterized the nature of his self-consciousness from the very first moment that he began to create conjecture about what kind of creature he might turn out to be. Before this moment, even his dreams were sleeping, abed in the instinctive world of predator and prey. When man began not just to call and to answer, but to answer his questions, and to question his answers - then only did he truly awaken for the very first time. He woke up and asked, "Who am I?"

Existentiality. Top Story - June 2025.
What is the question? Perhaps the most vexatious of all the puzzles which philosophers have pondered throughout the ages is that of the meaning of life, of what we ought to do with this magical gift, of how we ought to act and what we ought to care about, if we wish to live well. This was the original aim of all philosophy, a fact which has been largely forgotten in the academic echo-chamber of modernity: one ponders the orb as means to an end, as a way to discover the good life. Yet there is so much that man does not know, that it seems he must endeavour first to alleviate his ignorance if he is to have any definitive solution to this problem.

The Never Ending Story
The machinations of time, though always woven into the fabric of DataLogos - the primitive substance of all that is - are yet very remote from the Ground of Being. This Ground has always contained everything which ever was or could ever be. It was not born, nor could it die, for it was the root of Being itself. To speak of a moment before it is folly, for if there were nothing, there could be no question, no thought, no presence and no absence. To be is to be something, and the absence of being is no more than a shadow cast by thought — a fiction that melts before the dawn of Truth. Thus, the pixel of DataLogic stands alone, impassive and serene, the axis upon which all else turns.
