As technology develops, we have all notice time speeding up in our experience. As time accelerates, it is also beginning to eliminate the natural relationships of space, of distance and reducing our capacity to exist in stable identities. Diseases like ADHD, fragmented families and the breakdown of hierarchies in general are symptoms of a mode of being which goes with the acceleration of time.

I give news about our recent flooding and then look at the symbolism of death as well as the strange thrill that comes when being faced with death. I also discuss that time I met the punk band Sum 41 in a Congolese war zone.

As a complement to my Clown World video, I will look at a traditional story in which the wizard Merlin appears as a hysterically laughing wildman who restores the world by his laughter. This is found in The Romance of Silence, a thirteenth century Arthurian Romance which has come to prominence in recent times.

Just an update to let all of you know where we are at with all of this flooding and to remind you that #symbolismhappens.

I give news regarding the recent flood my family has been going through, and I also take on the questions for the April Q&A.

During Holy Week, the Orthodox faithful will see several icons in the center of the church being commemorated. These icons speak to each other regarding their elements and brought together with other liturgical elements, they participate in a powerful symphony of meaning.

Accelerationism, the notion that we should aggravate the current chaos in order for things to break down and bring about a better world is an idea that has been resurfacing now for some time. We look at the issues it can bring about on a social, but also a personal scale.
