Our future must not be written in the dancing halls of our enemies.

The quietly sizzling apprehension of disbelief. And further oblique phenomena.

Unfashionable opinions & the danger of thinking aloud.

Our cyborg brains, brimming with information saturation, trimmed by algorithm editing.

Or how to learn to walk in the dark.

A movement towards silence, within.
