In 'The Internet Enters Its Age of Aquarius', Günseli Yancinkaya observes that the internet has reached a phase of mass psychosis. She examines how AI and quantum computing are reshaping our understanding of reality, blurring the lines between science and mysticism, and what influences this has on collective consciousness and society at large.

'The Medium is the Monster' by Jon Ondrak argues that it's not *necessarily* dangerous internet subcultures that results in horrific IRL events such as mass shootings, but rather how it is becoming more difficult to distinguish between digital and IRL realities, what he describes as an 'ontological flatness'.

In 'Some things are worth the wait', Yancey Strickler describes the preparation and behind the scenes of this recent TED talk in touching groundedness and honesty.

One of my favourite things I read this week was @gmo's 'The Digitized Self: Your Body as a Platform', which emphasises that humans are the ultimate dataset that biological data and health start-ups are fighting for. She discusses the moral and societal implications and trade-offs of commodifying the self through these services, tools and platforms.

'I Hosted the Hegelian E-Girl Party and All I Got Was Called a Fascist.' is a witty and biting post by Matthew J Donovan that reflects on attending a party that merged irony-drenched internet aesthetics with philosophical themes, particularly Hegelian dialectics. He critiques the party’s performative intellectualism, where philosophy becomes a branding tool rather than a framework for genuine dialogue.
