    Collapse Is an Interior Event

    A civilisation without an outside loops on itself, hallucinating borders as reality, while ghosts of the excluded return as noise, disrupting order, exposing genocide, denial, and the violent comfort of closed systems everywhere, always, inside.

    غزه آینه است / Gaza is the mirror

    A reflection on how both the Islamic Republic and its opposition share the same myth linking Iran, Islam, and Palestine—and why true “Women, Life, Freedom” requires reclaiming compassion beyond politics. تأملی درباره‌ی باور مشترک حکومت و مخالفانش که ایران، اسلام و فلسطین را یکی می‌پندارد، و این‌که «زن، زندگی، آزادی» تنها با بازپس‌گیری شفقت از سیاست معنا می‌یابد.

    “Altar”; Technical beings at the edge of nature and machine

    Altar presents Erfan Ashourioun’s moving image of technical things drifting toward creaturehood. Built from the debris of production, the work stages a patient encounter with an unfamiliar body and nature’s limits. Sit with it, note its habits, and ask what kind of world taught it to breathe in our time.

    Khayamat – A dispatch from india

    Deracination was my khayamat. For some, the world has already ended, so apocalypse becomes background noise. In Barzakh (the imaginal desert between death and rebirth) I watch the Kaaba unfold as a cosmic axis, its corners piercing Earth, stars, and psyche. After judgment, what remains is the stillness that begins again.

    We Do Not Commit Suicide in the Best of All Possible Worlds

    This piece frames suicide as an unspoken epidemic, examining it through a Kierkegaardian lens of possibility and despair. It argues that suicide is not merely an individual psychological issue but a systemic phenomenon. As suicide rates rise exponentially, the text contends that it must be understood as a political category – a symptom of a collapsing system.

    Nomadic Currents: War Machines in the Necropolis of the Undying

    This text is a call to movement, a refusal of settlement, of static surrender. It is a longing for the desert: the unbounded space of becoming. Here, two forces collide: the crushing weight of inertia (the polis and its striated order) and the liberating pulse of the possible (the nomos, a space without precise limits). Between them lies a choice, not just to resist, but to roam. Nomadism is no retreat; it is a strategy. A way to outpace capture, to dissolve borders, to think and live in motion… Will you stay, or will you depart?

It outlines how decay is not final but a persistent metabolic process, urging scholars to recognize subtle self-consuming dynamics over overt breakdowns.

This exploration reveals the unsettling intersections of identity, war, and survival.
