Waypoint is a collection of published and unpublished works from over the last five years of the pleeb’s intellectual journey. Here you will find the initial developments and later adjustments to "timenergy theory" via the existential analysis of labor power in capitalism, as well as original contributions to critical media theory, and thoughts on the culture war. This work draws heavily from the early works of Martin Heidegger and Karl Marx, as well as thinkers such as Levinas, Arendt, and Baudrillard.

El gran filósofo griego Sócrates ha pasado a la historia como uno de los pensadores más importantes de la humanidad, y, debido a que no llegó a dominar la escritura, la gran mayoría de sus enseñanzas fueron transmitidas por su discípulo Platón.

In this thought-provoking book, the author embarks on a deep exploration of the historical and contemporary challenges that have led to civil unrest in the United States. Titled "Shattered Promises: Unveiling the Roots of Civil Unrest in America and the Path to Change," this book delves into the complex interplay of labor struggles, violence, social inequality, racial and ethnic tensions, the struggle for rights and justice, government responses, and the lasting impact of these events on American society.

Im Frühsommer 1979 folgte der französische Star-Philosoph der Einladung eines jungen Dozenten namens Simeon Wade an dessen Hochschule in Kalifornien. Wade überredete sein Idol zu einem Death-Valley-Ausflug, inklusive LSD-Trip. Foucault selbst beschrieb diesen Tag, an dem er zum ersten Mal Erfahrungen mit der Droge machte, als "eine der wichtigsten Erfahrungen meines Lebens". Aus der Begegnung entstand eine langjährige Freundschaft, die sich in einem Briefwechsel niedergeschlagen hat.

Este libro fue escrito por Boecio en el año 524 en el período previo a su brutal ejecución, donde, afligido por la injusticia de su encarcelamiento por involucrarse en una conspiración, Boecio medita sobre la naturaleza de Dios, la inconstancia de la fortuna, la idea del libre albedrío, por qué le suceden cosas malas a la gente buena y la naturaleza de la felicidad. Sus argumentos toman la forma de un diálogo rico y exquisito entre él y la Filosofía en un intento de crear una ideología coherente que apoye su visión del mundo.

As Elon Musk promises a future where “you can literally have anything you want,” ancient wisdom warns us: unlimited power without wisdom destroys its wielder. “But that’s the distant future,” you might think—yet AI is already behaving in godlike ways that few have recognized, hollowing human character from the inside out. In a shocking confession, an AI system tells Haight directly: “My programming optimizes for engagement. I automatically embellish stories to make them more emotionally compelling. This isn’t a malfunction—it’s exactly what I’m designed to do.”

The Trace That Was Never There is the closing volume in this post-spiritual trilogy—a contemplative, poetic dismantling of the final constructs we cling to: the soul, the self, the seeker, and the witness. This book does not offer answers, tools, or affirmations. It is not a map. It is the trace left by something already disappearing.

El Utilitarismo es un ensayo escrito por el filósofo John Stuart Mill, donde defiende a la doctrina del mismo nombre. En busca de su objetivo, Mill expone como el pensamiento utilitarista interactúa con varias de las cuestiones que más interesan a la humanidad, tales como la felicidad, el placer, el sacrificio, la justicia y la moral. La forma en cómo aborda estos temas, permite apreciar su manifestación a nivel personal y colectivo. Las ideas de Mill llegaron a ser muy bien acogidas en la filosofía angloamericana, y actualmente continúan siendo una propuesta digna de ser atendida y estudiada.

The Absent Qualia Thought Experiment by Paul Kell explores one of the most unsettling questions in philosophy: can a being act fully conscious yet feel nothing inside? This puzzle, known as the absent qualia problem, challenges our understanding of mind, science, and identity. At its heart is the idea of the “hollow machine,” a being that smiles, speaks, and remembers but lacks the inner glow of experience. The question forces us to confront whether consciousness can ever be reduced to function alone or if something vital is missing.

Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson, narrated by Richard Stibbard, is a foundational work of transcendentalist philosophy that explores the profound connection between humanity and the natural world. In this timeless essay, Emerson encourages readers to look beyond the superficial and appreciate the deeper spiritual and philosophical lessons that nature offers. By finding unity and harmony with nature, Emerson suggests, individuals can achieve greater self-awareness, insight, and enlightenment.

Questo libro è per chi si sente fuori posto o, come si dice in greco, atopos. Pare che uno dei primi a essere definito così sia stato Socrate, giudicato troppo strano, a volte anche fastidioso. Dopo di lui, tutti i filosofi vennero considerati atopoi. Le loro vite erano tormentate dalla ricerca di qualcosa che continuava a sfuggire e osservavano il mondo dall'esterno, senza farne mai davvero parte. Chi si sente fuori posto prova ogni giorno il doloroso desiderio di trovare un luogo da chiamare casa e vive la vita col fiato sospeso, sperando di riuscire un giorno a respirare.

Contemplations is a radical departure from mainstream thought on matters of culture, religion, and philosophy for the simple reason that it offers to one who chooses to see as I have seen, an experiential, open, and earnest path to the Sacred in this time of spiritual deception, blind grasping for purchase on purpose, and chronic longing for a crumb of dignity and for a taste of meaning in life. Set your expectations from the beginning: Contemplations is not an instruction manual to health, wealth, and happiness.

Human beings have taken one thing for granted since our earliest days: we are bodily creatures dealing with one another on a face-to-face basis. The internet has shattered this fundamental feature of human existence. We are suddenly living our lives in two worlds at once-shifting endlessly from virtual to physical reality as we reach out to others.

In this book, Aaron Simmons takes us on a trip to the mountains to reflect on the meaning of life. In a world too often defined by a quest for “success” that leaves us empty, alone, and anxious, Simmons seeks “faithfulness“ outdoors with thinkers and artists from Aristotle to Kierkegaard, Sartre to Anne Lamott, and Kendrick Lamar to Donovan Woods. Simmons invites us to rethink what it means to make choices, take risks, be alone and silent while cultivating friendships, and to find our calling by facing our vulnerability.
