MySpace Archive (2008-2010)

Before social media became algorithms and outrage, I wrote a series of satirical blogs that developed a small but enthusiastic following. They were written quickly, occasionally irresponsibly, often tongue-in-cheek, and reflected the issues of the day. They are republished here as part of that period, lightly edited for readability but otherwise left largely as originally written.

The Higgs Theory of Negativity (2008)

Originally published on MySpace in 2008, this satirical essay explores CERN, religion, scientific progress and modern society.

  • Part One – God, Bosons and Black Holes
  • Part Two – Medical Science and the Pursuit of Immortality
  • Part Three – The Theory of Negativity
