I am creating a personal document called the Esoteric Catalog of Fascinations. It's, like, a private glossary of things I find interesting.
Here's the list so far:
Autonomous complex (Freud)
Charles Saunders Peirce
Cybernetics (Gregory Bateson)
Dixie Flatline (William Gibson / Neuromancer)
Dungeon Synth
Egregore
Floating city, Edo period in Japan
Gothic (genre/mood/mode)
Hard Problem of Consciousness
Henri Bergson
Laws of Media (Marshall McLuhan)
Map (is not the Territory), a la Jorge Luis Borges
Monad
Noosphere
Object Oriented Ontology
Oneiric Break (a personal coinage)
Overheating (Law of Media)
Palimpsest
Psychotropic
Pu Songling, Historian of the Strange
Romanticism (German)
Pu Songling, Historian of the Strange
Speculative Realism
Tulpa (mysticism)
If anyone has anything to point me to, or wants to talk shop on any of these things, send some words my way!
