This blog launches the newly formed Institute of Heretical Psyences. This probably means that your civilisation is on the verge of collapse. Congratulations!

Its still early daze and so with all the Institute's official structural documentation still under engineering. We have decided to lunch immediately into broadcasting some preliminary content and, of course, updates about our projects and services.

Bigger shoes, longer flames.

The institute is not aiming to provide a collaborative scrapbook or collective playground. We are more accurately inspired by the architecture of universities, major religions, departmental and bureaucratic government, imperialist nationalism and consular diplomacy, corporate hierarchy and the "non-profit" sector. This is where social/cultural/political institutions grow increasingly corrupt, irrelevant, dogmatic and basically toxic. This is where heretical sciences have become increasingly, even critically, relevant. 

Clearly this blog is a construction site with a practically pathetic potential. Looking at other free web building options. I knew that blogger would be no damn good but, after wallowing in conceptual vision and comedic community consultations for almost an entire year, my hunger for a more material momentum became craven and a launch, however meager, became necessary.

Initially considered wiki but the came to the conclusion, after participating in other failed/fizzled wiki projects, that it may well be too time consuming for administration and too open ended.
 

We are currently considering moving temporarily to WordPress. Reason being it offers sites with multiple pages and 3gigabytes of hosting. This will give us the capacity to resource some of the projects to get off the floor. We are still exploring a few directions for independent hosting that will offer me the versatility and security we want.

At this stage most of our content and activity involves writing, communications, recruitment, consultation, organisational infrastructure and of course infamy. These are all key areas that could profoundly impact the flavour of our damnation and our dances. If you're interested working with us in a professional capacity, make sure you look out for our policy documents.

Stay tuned for the launch of the new website!
