The Self
A bicycle isn't its wheels. It isn't the frame, the chain, the person pedaling, or the road. Take any one away and you don't have a broken bicycle but something that was never a bicycle to begin with. We point at things and say that's 'it'. That's the self. That's what's real. But every time you reach for the thing itself, you find it's made entirely of other things, which are made of other things and somewhere in that regression you either panic or you start to find it funny. The self […]https://ridiculousbharath.wordpress.com/2026/05/12/the-self/
Pineal Ghost
Descartes believed the pineal gland was where the mind and body met. He picked Pineal gland because it is unpaired and sits at the center of the brain, which made it seem like a plausible centre. He split reality into two substances. The physical body and the non-physical mind and he then explainee how they talked to each other. Two completely different kinds of things, causally interacting. I've thought about this in Cartesian terms longer than I should have. Mind, body, some mysterious […]https://ridiculousbharath.wordpress.com/2026/05/01/pineal-ghost/
Just thinking…
If I say ‘I am reminded of [something]’ this is different from saying ‘I have been reminded of [the thing]’.
In the latter expression, someone else did the reminding. In the former, it’s an internal reminding, inside me but not me.
It feels like a leftover phrase from an earlier time when the I wasn’t necessarily centred in (or controlling all of) the brain, and things could occur (happen) to you in your head without them being thought (done) by you.

I’ve decided to dive into the world of Ursula Le Guin’s children’s books! Wow, that writer is amazing! Some of her stories have brought me to tears (“Fire and Stone”) and others have lit up my heart. Children’s books are such a wonderful way to connect with the “self,” and Le Guin’s technology for that purpose is especially unique.
I specifically want to highlight the book titled, “Tom Mouse,” as it encapsulates a #posthuman mindset very well. It also might be my new favorite story, it’s just unique and amazing in wonderful ways! This is a colorful story where diverse beings come together to bring more joy to each other’s lives. It gives voice to marginalized populations including mice, moons, stars, humans of diverse color, age, gender. An excellent example of #DEI
I guess in the past people defined their identity through other mass media like #film, TV & pop music - see this article in a #zine by the #PoisonGirls from the early 80s.
"I had my first love affair with a star of the silver screen when I was 14. His name was Audie Murphy."
