The Postmortem Condition

Life prepared me to be a philosopher, and education prepared me to write about it - whether anyone else likes it or not. My head had become overcrowded with the refuse of a dying empire, a series of trinkets and devices made of words. I have rendered these thoughts finally here in writing, to my great personal relief if nothing else.

People in their 20s and 30s right now are faced with many difficult choices, and what is worse, they are beset on all sides by technological distraction, media deception, and a demoralized and degenerated culture. But the Truth cannot be hidden from those that truly seek it, and while human civilizations regularly collapse, humans themselves manage to survive. In humanity as in biology: we can learn much from what survives.

If nothing else, what I have written about in this book is the spiritual journey of an unremarkable Western millennial raised in the middle class, and what I have learned in trying to locate myself in time and space while bearing witness to pervasive failure of authority in my life. This is, however, a broad generalization, and more thought has already gone into writing this description than the premise of the book itself.

TL;DR - At some point I started writing. Some time later, I stopped writing. It is finished. It's not that long. You should read it.
