Barron Trump the Synchronicity Kid

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: July 25, 2017

By now, most people reading this will have heard of the Alt-right. Are they really just racist trolls, or are they the right wing version of Occupy Wall Street: young, technologically savvy, and a bit counterculture? Perhaps they are both or neither depending on who you ask, but the Alt-right is defined less by their beliefs […]

John C. Lilly and the Solid State Entity

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: July 30, 2016

John C. Lilly is one of my favorite “alternative” scientists. His popularity has waned significantly since his death in 2001, even as his contemporaries like Timothy Leary and Terence McKenna have continued to have strong followings. Still, Lilly’s admittedly outrageous ideas and prophecies are worth remembering, not because they are necessarily true, but because, like all mythologies, they give us […]

Spider-Man is Your New God: Fandom and the Absence of Meaning

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: June 14, 2016

I’ve always defined god as that which motivates a person the most. Whatever makes you get up in the morning or whatever makes you go to work for 40 hours or more a week, that is your god. For a lot of people, God is money. Money does after all affect almost every interaction we have on a […]

The Therapeutic Power of Floating and the Death of Self

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: March 16, 2016

I carefully step in to the tank, one foot after the other, into the super thick and unusually slippery water. Once the lid is closed, I’m immersed in complete darkness. As I lay back, my body is forced upward, floating on the surface of the water. I’ve done this a few times now and my […]

The Image: The New Global Language

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: September 8, 2015

Two weeks after the event, we have all but forgotten about the murder of a news reporter and her cameraman during an interview on live television. The apparent shooter, Vester Flanagan, was a former coworker who had previously been fired from the station. ABC News said it was faxed a 23-page manifesto from someone claiming to be the shooter, […]

Like Prometheus, the Subversive Writer is Forever Bound and Chained

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: August 31, 2015

In many ways, a writer is a prophet, not of the future but of the present. A writer digest reality ahead of the crowd. He or she makes sense of a senseless world and bends the links of random events into a chain that hopefully can stand up to the fabrications of history. For the truly subversive […]
