Proclamations of Power for the Year Ahead
A Futurist Experiment of Life Lessons
As the final hours of 2024 blast away into the aether, I find myself reflecting on a year that was both challenging and game-called-life changing.
The period during/after Christmas often echoed the stillness of the draconian lockdowns. I felt prevented from writing anything before the new year began, especially as someone who thrives on a particular flair of dynamic energy. It was a metaphysical thing.
Yet on this last day of 2024, inspiration struck. I became compelled to share some life lessons with my readers, especially after a series of unforeseen events in which I had to leave NYC only to return just in time to welcome in 2025. Now, firmly back in the city I call home, I will have some exciting news to share very soon. Yet for today, I’m going to share these life lessons that were instrumental in my journey for 2024. I now present them in the Experimental Futurist genre.
As proponents of endless acceleration, it is time to hurl these electric truths into the cosmos. Let them detonate in the minds of all who read them.
I. THE SUPREME LAW OF CLARITY
Do away with the diseased fog of uncertainty. Demand crystalline purpose in all things. Every intention must ignite with hard precision. Let your goals become guided missiles of destiny. Clarity must come before your visionary ideas reach the public. Heed my warning like no other.
II. THE DOCTRINE OF PERPETUAL MOTION
Behold the ballet of human interaction. It’s neo-baroque and it’s hyper-speed, so fash in! Every soul that enters our orbit unleashes a new voltage of transformation. Every departure launches us further into the stratosphere of evolution. Become a cosmic dancer in the eternal spin of existence. The door rotates for your excellence.
III. THE TRIUMPH OF CONCENTRATED WILL
In an age of infinite distraction, you must seize the power of laser-focused determination. Your attention is an engine of velocity. Let your mind become a particle accelerator of purpose. The will cannot triumph without concentration, even if you think you’re some reincarnation of Leni Riefenstahl.
IV. THE ACCELERATION OF TIME'S ARROW
Reject the weeping violins of nostalgia. Aging is a battle scar of wisdom. Every new year is a lightning rod of experience. You must age with grace in order to accumulate power. Refuse any sorrow related to aging. There is no shame in the wisdom of age unless you shame yourself to death.
V. THE ARSENAL OF EXPRESSION
Words are thunderbolts of truth. Communication must detonate with atomic calculation. Let your voice become a sonic boom that shatters the windows of convention. Speak with militant intent rather than reciting psychotic poetry with some minor assistance from your friend Claude. Do as I say and not as I’m currently doing.
VI. THE VOID OF SCARCITY
Halt! When resources dim, the mind becomes a museum of fear. Await the surge of abundance before launching your decisions into the cosmos. Patience is the catalyst of prosperity. Do not react when the chips are down or you’ll find yourself regretting the hand you have played.
VII. THE VIGILANCE OF POWER
Success is nuclear energy that must be handled with titanium gloves. Let prosperity amplify your thrust but never corrupt your guidance system. Stay aerodynamic! Stay supersonic! Stay humble in your ascent to the stars! Nothing can stop you now, though you must care a bit more. Nothing can stop you now, you’re way beyond hardcore.
VIII. THE REJECTION OF PSYCHIC PARASITES
Your consciousness is not a public charging station. Seek private voltage for your neural networks. Let relationships become quantum entanglements of mutual ascension. Nothing else may stand. Your mentally ill daughter is not some perverse reflection of your shadow self that allows you to learn from your mistakes. A vanguardist must heal oneself or suffer the libel of fools.
IX. THE RADIANCE OF SUPREME BEING
Your presence must explode with electromagnetic potential. Every gesture must be a spark. Every word must be a flame. Let your will become a supernova in the darkness of mediocrity. Radiate your best and only your best. Save your worst for confessional Substack Notes that are only read by women. (liberals)
X. THE ETERNAL MACHINERY OF DESIGN
While silicon crumbles into cosmic dust, true design stands eternal. Fashion and architecture are immortal engines of human expression. Choose the infinite over the instant and the timeless over the temporary. You’re part of an invisible front. If you don’t know what this means this statement does not apply to you, but always dress well in the face of an H1B political split.
DECLARATION OF INTENT
Let us launch these proclamations into the stream of 2025. Let them become our guidance systems through the barriers of stagnation. THE FUTURE ERUPTS NOW! THE TIME IS ALWAYS! ACCELERATE! ADVANCE! ASCEND!
