Hey everybody, as you might have noticed there's no video essay this week. I'm shifting my work schedule around a bit and will be streaming this evening, so lots of important segments are coming soon, but the biggest reason there's no Friday essay is that my current workload has involved me overreaching a bit. It's a lot of work to write, record, edit and upload a serious video all on your own, and some of the projects I'll be giving you a preview of here have involved a lot of strenuous research and writing. I've written more than enough from the start of last July to now to fill a book -- especially given that the Dark Souls Retrospective analysis is currently at 92 pages and it's not even close to done -- and while I have so, so much interesting, provocative and incisive material to show you, I knew if I tried to push one of them out today I'd be rushing it, so I'm going to try to keep working and have these ready over the following few weeks.
Take care, much love, and I'll be dropping some hardcore effort posts very soon.

"Unfortunately, 'Elemental' Has a Problem"
"The Soul of Man | A Dark Souls Trilogy Retrospective"
"The Many Design Hurdles of Overwatch 2"
"How Elden Ring Broke My Arrogant Mindset"
"A Man may make a Remark —
In itself — a quiet thing
That may furnish the Fuse unto a Spark
In dormant nature — lain —
Let us deport — with skill —
Let us discourse — with care —
Powder exists in Charcoal —
Before it exists in Fire."
--Emily Dickinson

There is a thing beyond beauty and it is more beautiful. There is a thing beyond justice and it is more just. There is a thing beyond truth and it is more true. We do not know these names of these friends we have not met. Time and social progress will work to undo our ignorance.
I wrote a new political essay, and it's chiefly about some of the reading of Freire that I've been doing and also about my friend, doe. Please enjoy.

"While the problem of humanization has always, from an axiological point of view, been humankind's central problem, it now takes on the character of an inescapable concern. Concern for humanization leads at once to the recognition of dehumanization, not only as an ontological possibility, but as a historical reality, and as an individual perceives the extent of dehumanization, he or she may ask if humanization is a viable possibility. Within history, in concrete objective contexts, both humanization and dehumanization are possibilities for a person as an uncompleted being conscious of their incompletion, but while both humanization and dehumanization are real alternatives, only the first is the people's vocation. This vocation is constantly negated, yet it is affirmed by that very negation. It is thwarted by injustice, exploitation, depression and violence of the oppressors. It is affirmed by the yearning of the oppressed for freedom and justice, and by their struggle to recover their lost humanity. Dehumanization, which marks not only those whose humanity has been stolen but also though in a different way those who have stolen it, is a distortion of the vocation of becoming more fully human. This distortion occurs within history, but it is not a historical vocation. Indeed, to admit of dehumanization to a historical vocation would admit either to cynicism or total despair. The struggle of humanization, for the emancipation of labor, for the overcoming of alienation, for the affirmation of men and women as persons would be meaningless. This struggle is only possible because dehumanization, although a concrete historical fact, is also not a given destiny, but the result of an unjust order than engenders violence in the oppressors, which in turn dehumanizes the oppressed. Because it is a distortion of being more fully human, sooner or later being less human leads the oppressed to struggle against those who made them so. In order for this struggle to have any meaning, the oppressed must not, in seeking to regain their humanity -- which is a way to create it -- become in turn oppressors of the oppressors, but rather restorers of the humanity of both. This, then, is the great humanistic and historical task of the oppressed: to liberate themselves and their oppressors as well."
--Paulo Freire, "Pedagogy of the Oppressed"
"The rightist sectarian, whom I have previously termed a 'born sectarian,' wants to slow down the historical process, to domesticate time, and thus to domesticate men and women. The leftist sectarian goes totally astray when he or she attempts to interpret reality and history dialectically, and falls into essentially fatalistic positions. The rightist sectarian differs from his or her leftist counterpart in that the former attempts to domesticate the present so that he or she hopes that the future will reproduce this domesticated present, while the latter considers the future established, a kind of inevitable fate, fortune or destiny. For the rightist sectarian, today linked to the past is something given and immutable. For the leftist sectarian, tomorrow as decreed beforehand is inexorably preordained. This rightist and this leftist are both reactionary, because starting from their respectively false views of history, both develop forms of action that negate freedom. The fact that one imagines a well-behaved present and the other a predetermined future does not mean that they therefore fold their arms and become spectators, the former expecting that the present will continue, the latter waiting for the already known future to come to pass. On the contrary, closing themselves into circles of certainty from which they cannot escape, these individuals make their own truth. It is not the truth of men and women who struggle to build the future running the risks involved in this very construction, nor is it the truth of men and women who fight side by side and learn together how to build this future, which is not something given to be received by people, but is rather something to be created by them. Both types of sectarian, treating history in an equally proprietary fashion, end up without the people, which is another way of being against them."
--Paulo Freire, "Pedagogy of the Oppressed"
