Interview With Amorphophallus Titanum (2026)
Black metal ran off the road long ago because it said what its inventors in the early 1990s wanted to express, then watched the world catch up. As it attempts to find a new mythos, many turn to philosophy, which is how we get Texas’ Amorphophallus Titanum.

Eureka Heights Brewing Company – Mini Boss
From the light beer version of IPAs, this is the oat-infused version, which makes it an American adjunct beer underneath the surface, and it tastes like one, with a thin bitter flavor concealing an inner sweetness.

St Arnold Brewing Company – Elissa IPA
Following the St Arnold penchant for amber beers, this IPA tastes more like a dark beer and lets the malt bring out the flavor of the hops, resulting in a musky aromatic spice that perfuses the otherwise gentle flavor of this beer.

Brewers are not more competent now, per se, but they are much more attuned to the market, such that it is rare to have a truly horrible beer. This one is barely an IPA and tastes like tea but has a nice clean flavor.

Wagner and the Revelation of Nature’s Truths in Art
Introduction
As the Romantic philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling emphasizes in the following passage, art is the most direct expression of nature’s truth, and philosophy can only artificially reconstruct the natural truths that art is able to access so intimately: “Art is paramount to the philosopher precisely because it opens to him, as it were, the holy of holies, where it burns in eternal and original unity, as if in a single flame, that which in nature and history is rent asunder and in life and action, no less than in thought, must forever fly apart. The view of nature which the philosopher frames artificially is for art the original and natural one.”[1]
