Dark Horizon - a race for worthless numbers?

Image
  As countless articles, and reality itself, have likely already made clear, the degradation of art is evident across all industries and artistic fields, and a generation raised on it is bound to develop poor references and weak critical abilities. It’s the island metaphor in action: If someone is born on an island and never leaves it, their entire world is a narrow stretch of land, with scant fauna and flora compared to what lies beyond. Standards collapse not just because people are incapable of judgment, but because comparison disappears . When the surrounding cultural ecosystem is shallow, repetitive, or optimized for speed and consumption, it rewires what “good” even means. Given the current state of the world, replacing the island with a miniature junkyard would offer a more realistic picture. Is the countdown to the end already running? Still using the metaphor of the island and the floating garbage dump: if you know the big world and are cast onto an island for a decade, a ...

[Free E-book] Dark Neology Stories - David's Legacy

  The events described here take place approximately three years before the prologue of Dark Neology – Dante’s Gray Pages , of which David’s Legacy is a spin-off. Enjoy your reading.

Literary Blindness vs. Algorithmic Conditioning - How much of your senses have already atrophied?

Image
  A Literary Sense.  When immersing yourself in a work of fiction, how much information do you actually perceive in the text as you read? I would humbly say that most people absorb very little beyond the surface descriptions. This is a result of how people have grown accustomed to consuming literary content shallowly, or more accurately, ignoring it altogether in favor of easily diluted entertainment. A habit that emerged alongside the rise of the internet. Minds are constantly focused on short, fleeting texts. Writing is art, a byproduct of the human element, a reflection of someone’s life. The writer poured their soul into it, becoming a catalyst for an entire world—the era, the feelings, the essence—and delivered all of that into your hands. Do you understand its value? Your duty as a reader is to grow in order to meet it, to experience the content in its entirety, not the other way around. The danger of taking the opposite path is severe, grotesque, stomach-churning. Once ...
