fiqh maxing has lead to a whole generation of muslims that have no ethical compass. worse yet is the assumption that "ethics" is a secular or western innovation that should be avoided. Dr Jackson is 100% correct that muslims need to reclaim the word secular.

to be clear, ethics = ihsan. it has little to do with fiqh and everything to do with taqwa.

"sharia compliant tagut realms"

we were just talking about this

RasulAllah ﷺ said, "O Allah! Bestow Your blessings on our Yemen."

The people said, "O RasulAllah! And also on our Najd?"

RasulAllah said, "That is the place of earthquakes and afflictions and from there comes out the horn of Satan."

it has been 2 years now since i began writting about hypermodernity but '22 was really the year i started focusing on this topic. nearly half a decade in and there are certainly more voices in this space now but still so much work to do.

i originally outlined 4 elements for a thriving civilization. Capital was the perhaps the easiest to understand becuase it is a practical science. yet how many have learned how to project power into producing anything of quality? Hierarchy is something that has been almost entirely ignored still. i have yet to see a grandma npub. we are doing better at decentralizing our Geography but much still is dominantly "western". AI has not sufficiently cut through the language barrier yet (i'm holding out for this to pass in '27) but there my be an educational barrier here as well - which leads to Climate. i'm glad to see some cooling has wafted in to tamper the maximalism but storms happen and rain is a blessing. what we need is a community that can weather social trials and this is the most qualitative aspect of the 4.

nostr is not immune to chaos. in fact being on nostr means you take ownership in how chaos is addressed. we are all still cucking up to devs too much (and no, one shouldn't replace a good dev with an AI). building in cyberspace doesn't have the protection of homeowner's insurance to bail you out of a forest fire. in short, embrace being a digital prepper while embracing resilience in community.

if i have learned one thing these past years it is that hypermodernity doesn't have to be doom and gloom. neither does doom and gloom have to efferct your inner, spiritual state.

insan is still vicegerent!

Could anything better represent modern 'Western' understanding of Islam than the moment Muslims themselves started to deploy the same paranoia back at each other?

Banks set a warning against idolatry beside a warning to the helmsman, and this essay tries to read the two together.

"Non-praxis is still a form of praxis. What remains to be delimited are what the boundaries of this prohibition on political involvement are. If action to restoretradition through political means are deemed useless at best, is there any room within a Guénonian frame for any political activism?"

trying to set PP up for the first time and getting errors. my clanker put this together after a few debugging attempts:

Bug report — privateprovider.xyz (Routstr node, Tinfoil upstream):

All Tinfoil chat models return 404 with x-routstr-error-scope: upstream: POST /v1/chat/completions {"model":"tinfoil-glm-5-3-flash"} → 404 {"error":{"message":"Not found.","type":"invalid_request_error","code":"not_found"}} request ids: 2d2d9dbf-d57c-4100-ad55-3ee7ff79bb23, 82a13727-9860-4e01-bd3c-04aae54a2c54

• Responses carry tinfoil-pt attestation headers, ~600ms latency — the request reaches inference.tinfoil.sh and the enclave itself returns 404.
• Unknown model IDs are correctly rejected locally (400 invalid_model, ~2ms), so node-side resolution is fine; the forwarded request is what's failing.
• /v1/models/paths shows model-id=tinfoil-glm-5-3-flash, but Tinfoil's native catalog IDs are unprefixed (glm-5-3-flash). Suspect forwarded_model_id / path mismatch, possibly from the model list sync ~Oct 15.
• My key is funded with total_requests: 0 — nothing has succeeded since top-up.
• [llama3-3-70b test: works / also 404s]

help, pls 😅 this could very well be user error too. take a look and let me know. thx!

You say detachment is not a virtue. I say: then stop pretending you are not the wound I keep pressing my thumb into.

There is no clean eye. There is no hand that does not tremble holding the cup. And the one who stands perfectly still in the middle of the storm is not wise — is already dead and does not know it.

So here I am, trembling, maladjusted, a man who cannot look at you without the whole house losing its roof.

You are not a quality. You are not an object I can set down. You are the only place my body has stopped lying.

"We use the term brain rot as a pjorative, a way for Gen X and millennials to signal our dwindling superiority. But from a practical perspective, brain rot is a misnomer. It isn't decay. It's reformatting. The human brain is a plastic organ and Gen Alpha's wetwear is being optimized for the high frequency, low latency demands of the algorithmic feed. The rot is simply the smell of the old human OS being deleted to make room for the new one." ~ Damien Walter

anyone read the new chapter yet? would love some feedback. the next chapter is nearly ready for release but i wanted to pace things a little since these are large.

goal is to get at least 4 more chapters out before the end of the year while also opening up the majlis so others can join the creative process.
