Weird Studies
Embrace the Seduction of the Unknown
Magic manifests through analogies that we come to perceive as real. At the core of our pursuits is an intimate connection to something we deeply cherish, existing before our knowledge and experiences accumulate. As we navigate our journey, we adopt stand-ins—be it language, tradition, or practice—that lead to impactful experiences. Central to our exploration of beauty is seduction, which inspires a relentless quest for understanding. The motivation behind this pursuit often transcends the need for truth; it is drawn from an irresistible pull towards our beloved interests and desires. This passionate drive propels us forward even when we find ourselves feeling like novices, regardless of past mastery. The ephemeral nature of confidence and expertise underscores the unpredictable journey of self-discovery and growth.
