Asterion's Labyrinth Returns
by Asterion

Hello. I know that I've barely updated this blog since I started it in March, but this I can explain. I've simply not had anything to write about. I've spent the last 289 days in my house since I've had nothing to do after graduating high school. But I write this now in the last hours of my last day in exile. Tomorrow, I return to society as a productive member and begin my first job! It feels pretty late since I never bothered to get one in high school, and all the prerequisites I needed to get out of the way made the process slower than I expected. But better late than never, yeah? Could've been worse. Could've been a NEET forever! 

But it hasn't been worse, and I really am getting back into the thick of civilization. Because of this, I figure here soon I'll start having things to talk about. One thing I've recently (and surprisingly) wanted to talk about is my worldview. Even after my 04 JUN 2025 post, I was still burnt out and never touched it after that. But now I'm perhaps ready to start learning again. I won't do it to waste time or fulfill childish daydreams. It'll be for my own edification, and perhaps that of anyone who finds this blog and stays to see what's next. Everyone knows that the thrice-damned, thrice-salted earth of the modern Internet could use some enrichment.

And yes, I do intend for what I write to be enriching. Pessimism and indifference just don't do it for me anymore. I have in mind a vision much different than what I've had before—maybe, dare I say, not like anything I've had before. I want to come up with something energetic, revolutionary, avant-garde, experimental, radical, exothermic, life-affirming... Whatever it is remains to be seen. You will find my blog's bookshelf will change with it. Pentti Linkola and Ted Kaczynski are better suited to my past self. I will certainly critique much, but now I favor creating something new rather than just destroying what's there. We can only try to climb out of this benighted age if we know what we want to build after it. If we don't, we can only make it worse.

No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell.
