How does our disproportionate experience of energy wars and energicide affect our techno-political urgencies and imaginaries, as well as, the electronic music we make, or won’t make? 

How does the militarisation and corporatisation of the academic institute influence the disciplinary organization of knowledge and space, the production of ignorance and the philosophy of intelligence? What modes of attestation and temporalities of resistance do these regimes of in/visibility create, or dislocate when death can be increasingly slow, eruptive or automated depending on where you are on this universally dark planet? In this lecture, artist, educatress and technologist Jessika Khazrik shares “خريطة الظلام Cartography of Darkness”, a transclusive research platform dedicated to exploring universalisms and the dark unity of knowledge in our highly obfuscated and multiple crisis-ridden age. Launched in August 2023 on the third year memorial of the Beirut Port Blast with the urgently ongoing chapter “For a Trans-electric Solidarity”, the online cognitive mapping platform is comprised of a triad of interconnected, sonified spaces: a map, a periodical and a repository. These virtual spaces, that are continuously reactivated through multi-generational assemblies, workshops on cognitive mapping/counter-cartography and orgaraves, bring together various contributions that resist the agnogenic practices of militarisation. How do we heal our imagination in a global system that institutes separation and disseminates a seemingly functional ignorance all while promising an artificial intelligence?

Jessika Jamal Khazrik - خريطة الظلام Cartography of Darkness  | SUPERMODEL [Discourse]

This lecture discusses the 20th century philosopher and historian of ideas, Pierre Hadot, and focuses on chapter 11 of his book, Philosophy As a Way of Life. 

He discusses the distinction he draws between discourse about philosophy and philosophy itself. He argues, using the example of the Stoics, that the parts of philosophy they distinguish (ethics, logic, and physics) are discourses about philosophy rather than philosophy as such, which is a "unitary act" of living and being.

Gupta Navaratri Night Three: A poem from Ramprasad Sen

In this episode, we dive deep into Giaan Khand – the realm of divine knowledge as described by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Japji Sahib. Here, Guru Ji opens our eyes to the vastness of creation, pointing us towards the sheer wondrousness of the Divine. Instead of fixating on any single part of the creation, Guru Nanak Dev Ji gives us the path of “Vah” – awe and wonder.

Bhai Baljit Singh also summarises the 5 Khands in this episode.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Middle Platonist philosopher and biographer Plutarch's essay On Awareness Of Progress In Virtue

This episode focuses specifically on his discussions bearing upon something he takes as an important index for our development, namely the changes in our discourse. He looks a number of different aspects of this, one of which is the topics that we focus on talking about with others in philosophy.  He also thinks that we should avoid using philosophy for making a display in social gatherings, and that we need to curb contention, anger, arrogance, and exasperation.

Plutarch, On Awareness Of Progress In Virtue - Evaluation of One's Own Discourse - Sadler's Lectures

Civil discourse feels harder to find every day. Last week, a prominent conservative figure was executed, and what troubled me most were the responses that followed. Not long ago, a young woman was murdered on public transportation, and the government tried to cover it up—afraid of how the public might respond.

This episode isn’t about reliving those events. It’s about what they reveal: how quickly respectful conversation breaks down and how much we need to reengage across our differences.

In Episode 315 of The Joe Martino Show, I share how we can get back to real dialogue by using the Rule of Three. My hope is to give you practical tools to talk with people you disagree with—without shouting, canceling, or walking away.

If you’re tired of polarization and want to know how to have healthier, more constructive conversations, this episode is for you.

316. Want Real Conversations Again? Try the Rule of Three

Audioprimitives unveils an ambiguous post-industrial aesthetic through mechanical beats, fragmented voice samples, led by a Roland TB 303. The sound weaves threads of proto-electro, wave and acid, yet feels devoid of history, estranged—like a glitch in cultural memory. This is not a party; rather, it’s a reflex, a face-down dance in the fog, a discourse under the flicker of the strobe light.
