Remember It's the Future: On Voting
http://rememberitsthefuture.blogspot.com/2015/05/on-voting.html
Remember It's the Future. Sufficiently advanced philosophy is indistinguishable from trolling. Wednesday, 6 May 2015. I will be voting in the general election. I will probably vote in every general election in my adult lifetime (this will actually only be my second - I missed out by a month in 2005). I vote in every local election, too. I was going to write a post this week with a thorough and general defence of democratic participation, appealing to cynics and anarchists alike. But, quite without realis...

Remember It's the Future. Sufficiently advanced philosophy is indistinguishable from trolling. Tuesday, 31 March 2015. Boiled Potatoes and the Analytic Method, part 7. I discussed the specific experience that led me to seek counselling. I talked about a lack of emotional sensation that I discovered during my counselling sessions. I blamed everything on boiled potatoes (and allowing my everyday life to become too bland). I evaluated analytic philosophy and the limits of its conception of meaning. But I ha...

Remember It's the Future: Virtual Travel
http://rememberitsthefuture.blogspot.com/2015/07/virtual-travel.html
Remember It's the Future. Sufficiently advanced philosophy is indistinguishable from trolling. Monday, 20 July 2015. I went to a family gathering this weekend, about two hundred miles from the places I call 'home'. This is actually the first time this decade I've been that far from home (I don't get about much). The journeys there and back were seven and five hours respectively in a car, and were the longest car journeys I've been on in the same period. And Final Fantasy XV. I want to see mountains like ...

Remember It's the Future. Sufficiently advanced philosophy is indistinguishable from trolling. Wednesday, 19 November 2014. Getting what you wish for. Back in early July I wrote this post. Today, I have something rather more optimistic to offer. I'm now part of the planning process for a university-level 'gaming and interactive media' course (title not final) within the University of Liverpool. S School of the Arts. Some issues are obvious; for example, there's no clear definition of 'a game' or 'a video...

Remember It's the Future: The Second Realm Season 1: The Second Gift
http://rememberitsthefuture.blogspot.com/2011/10/second-realm-hub.html
Remember It's the Future. Sufficiently advanced philosophy is indistinguishable from trolling. Monday, 10 October 2011. The Second Realm Season 1: The Second Gift. Episode 3.3: The Weight of the World on Her Shoulders. The First Realm is starting to shake itself apart under the strain of the Second. Dora's new powers offer some hope to stabilise it, but she can't hold the world together and keep tabs on Rel at the same time. And the Clearseer is about to find a new and dangerous ally. Rel's actions on ar...

http://rememberitsthefuture.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Remember It's the Future. Sufficiently advanced philosophy is indistinguishable from trolling. Tuesday, 30 September 2014. Why reflect on this now? Well, in three weeks' time, shortly after its third birthday, The Second Realm will come to an end. I'm going to be spending the next few weeks reflecting on the series in different ways, and I want to start with one of its key themes, which is the problem with lazy, simplistic narratives of heroism. Friday, 26 September 2014. As a side note, knowing their na...

Remember It's the Future. Sufficiently advanced philosophy is indistinguishable from trolling. Wednesday, 29 October 2014. Has appeared prominently on my Twitter feed recently, with the launch of a new Indiegogo campaign. Raising money to fund grants for authors, classroom campaigns and other activism in support of diverse authors and books. I've just donated, because part of the problem is that I very seldom encountered diversity in the books I read growing up. For that, I. Need diverse books. There...
