Accept

3 May 2023 1 minute read 0 comments The Virtual Idealist

Try as I might, I cannot deny, That what I want, just won't comply. I grasp at straws and reach for hope, But still, I find myself unable to cope.   Acceptance, they say, is the key, To find some peace and set me free. But how to accept what...

Reaching Through the Framework: Biopolitics, the Madman, and Ethical Knowledge Systems

3 May 2023 14 minute read 2 comments MatTehCat

  Playing the Game of Life, Man can Transform Himself for the Better and Worse. How do we arrive at what’s true and false, and how do reality and fiction relate to Power? Foucault’s analysis of power relations is predicated on this question. For Fou...

Stress

3 May 2023 1 minute read 0 comments The Virtual Idealist

Stress is a weight that we all must bear, A burden that we often cannot share, It creeps in like a thief in the night, And steals away our peace of mind's light.   It makes our hearts beat faster with fear, As we struggle to keep our troubles near, O...

Trapped

3 May 2023 1 minute read 1 comment The Virtual Idealist

Trapped inside this body of mine, I feel like I'm running out of time, My mind is sharp, but my limbs are weak, It's like I'm living in a body that's obsolete.   I see the world passing me by, As I sit here, feeling like I could fly, But...

Unfamiliar

2 May 2023 1 minute read 0 comments The Virtual Idealist

I stand here in this foreign land, Surrounded by things I don't understand, A stranger to the customs and ways, Feeling lost in a sea of different faces.   Everything seems so unfamiliar, I'm like a fish out of water, Trying to navigate this...

As i Lay Here

The morning light creeps in through the blinds, And the alarm clock, it rudely reminds, That it's time to rise, and start the day, But I lay here, wishing it would go away.   There's nothing in my life, that gives me purpose, No reason to get up, and...

ebb and flow

2 May 2023 1 minute read 0 comments The Virtual Idealist

Of all the things that we can know, There's nothing quite like the ebb and flow, Of the tide that pulls, and the waves that crash, As the sea roars, and the seagulls squawk and dash.   The sand beneath our feet, so fine, As the water tickles, and the...

Grey out

2 May 2023 1 minute read 0 comments The Virtual Idealist

The sky above is draped in grey, As the clouds roll in, and the sun fades away, A gentle mist falls, like a veil, And the world takes on, a softer and mellowed feel.   The clouds hang low, like a thick blanket, And the air is still, as if holding its...

Dreams

1 May 2023 1 minute read 0 comments The Virtual Idealist

Dreams are like windows, to another world, A place where reality, becomes unfurled, Where anything is possible, and everything's new, And the only limit, is what we can't imagine to be true.   In our dreams, we can fly, without wings, Or walk on wate...

Truth, Power, and the Panopticon

1 May 2023 16 minute read 0 comments MatTehCat

Simple games have more to say than meets the eye. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve investigated and reviewed Foucault’s translated and essential works. I will complete that task by reviewing Foucault’s last essential work, which is specifically o...
