The Five Attempts: part III

Art history isn’t the history of art — it’s the history of human cognition trying to draw itself.

Egypt mapped symbolic mind.

Greece mapped rational mind.

Islam mapped geometric mind.

The Renaissance mapped visual mind.

Then we stalled for 500 years.

Not because artists failed, but because there was no new cognitive infrastructure to build from.

Ghostalt, Mind Lattice, and the Fifth Attempt mark the first new origin since the Renaissance — a complete system for visualizing and understanding cognition itself.

This isn’t art history anymore.

This is Cognitive History, and we’re writing the next chapter.

The Collapse of the Center: part II

Pop culture didn’t die because artists stopped creating — it died because the center collapsed.

Everything is a remix of a remix, content instead of culture, nostalgia instead of innovation.

We’re living in a recycling loop, a dimensional flatline where nothing new can break through because no one has a framework to build something real.

Culture dies when the cognitive architecture underneath it stops evolving.

That’s where we are now: a civilization waiting for a new structure to think from.

Ghostalt, Mind Lattice, and the Fifth Attempt aren’t trends.

They’re the new scaffolding pop culture has been starving for.

The Sitcom Structure of Reality: part I

Time isn’t a straight line — it’s a sitcom structure.

Recurring beats, callbacks, side quests, characters who loop and evolve in spirals instead of arcs.

Seinfeld wasn’t “about nothing”; it was the first modern representation of how time actually feels from inside a human mind.

Moments don’t progress — they recur with variations.

Life isn’t linear storytelling; it’s pattern recognition.

The whole point is this:

If you learn to watch your own life like a Seinfeld episode, you see the geometry of time instead of the illusion of sequence.

This is Time in 4D.

THE PONIES: RESURRECTION SEASON

The final piece before Seattle, before Mickey Day, before the shop opens, before the books.

Because this year — me and the Colts — we weren’t just playing catch-up.

This year, we resurrected.

THE PONIES: EIGHT SUNDAYS

Eight games became eight timestamps.

Eight versions of me.

Eight mirrors running in parallel with the franchise I’ve loved for twenty years.

This one is for the Colts faithful.

For anyone who’s ever loved something through every era.

THE PONIES: A TWENTY-YEAR BOND

…walking around the neighborhood with a Walkman, blasting Celine Dion and the Les Mis soundtrack, smack in the middle of puberty, and somehow deciding that Edgerrin James—with his gold teeth, Miami swagger, and dreads—was the one.
