On the Abolition of All Political Parties

An essay by Simone Weil, a review — About two years ago, my country was facing a referendum on the usage of rivers and nearby land. The exact question is actually irrelevant; the point is that about 80% of the people were against, and only about 20% were pro. Two things struck me at the time. First, that…

Fuck Master Chef

Why food should never be entertainment — We all love good food. Or, better, we all love a good meal and the joy that comes after it. But there is a world of difference between a satisfying meal and abusing food to chase away existential boredom that comes with having too much of everything in life. I…

Dystopia’s Prelude: A Case for The Great Pause

A short climate manifesto. — Once more, I am stepping into the shoes of Hari Seldon, and here is my short speech to the Empire. The year 2023 is when the curve of climate change took a notable shift upward. It has been on an exponential slope from the very beginning, only that, so far…

I still remember thinking about how empty it looked and why in the world anyone would want to live between these concrete walls. Then followed about 8 years of systemic persuasion…

How to Perform Greenwashing

The case study of fluor and the International Ski Federation (FIS) — A while ago, the FIS banned the use of fluorine in ski waxes at professional tournaments. I don’t know if this applies to recreational skiing (I guess not), but it’s a funny example of how greenwashing works in the modern age. Now, I’m not an expert in skiing or the…

The Windcatchers of Yazd

And How Architects Know Next to Nothing About Climate Control — A couple of years ago, I read somewhere that medical students typically learn almost nothing about nutrition, a cornerstone of health and wellbeing. I was outraged. How could this be? Now, looking at my own field, I found an analogue. In my seven years at architecture school, I don’t remember…

Is it Art?

Browsing through the MidJourney Magazine. — After twenty years of collecting art, architecture, and photography magazines, books, and catalogues, I received my first copy of the MidJourney Magazine yesterday. Looking through it, I couldn’t help but revisit the same ephemeral question: is it Art? But what is Art anyway? The word is thrown around so much…
