Art, Aesthetics, and Thought
I am consistently guilty over my lack of knowledge of contemporary art and aesthetics. Particularly in relation to Speculative Realism it seems that artists, curators, and media practitioners of various stripes are far better than philosophers or theorists at addressing art.

Dark Vitalism: Some Notes
The following is an attempt to summarize what exactly Dark Vitalism means as a metaphysical project.
