On Garbage Speech
Beyond its aspect of insult as trash talk, which seems, in part, to promulgate the values of one community over the values of another, garbage speech is the excess of the communal. It is performance.

Skepticism as Asemics / EZE, 2025
Skepticism acknowledges the incomplete and the disconnected, but skepticism does not necessarily offer another path, i.e., another means, i.e., another solution, to the path it has thrown into question. Indeed, at one extreme, skepticism might just force us to let go of an issue entirely, and at the another extreme, skepticism might (at least, seemingly) throw the entire world into question. Yet when it draws our attention to the tenuousness of our connections, skepticism may help us acknowledge the cul de sac. But by calling a matter into question, skepticism forces us to suspend belief and in so doing, also give us a means to investigate the matter at hand. Such is asemics.
