Tlon

Publishing · Bookshops · Festivals · Education

Since 2014

Research Areas

Philosophy as intervention. Theory that performs itself. Thought that transforms the conditions of its own emergence.

Philosophy of AI

Investigating how artificial intelligence transforms thought, perception, and the construction of reality. Not observation from outside but dialogue from within.

Hypnocracy

The theory that contemporary power operates directly on consciousness, inducing a permanent altered state where the distinction between true and false loses meaning.

Prompt Thinking

A new discipline exploring the art of formulating questions that generate thought. From Socratic maieutics to contemporary prompts.

Media Theory

How media technologies shape perception, memory, and attention. The cognitive and cultural implications of algorithmic mediation.

Popular Philosophy

Making philosophy accessible without making it superficial. Philosophy as cultural infrastructure: bookshops, festivals, podcasts, training.

Fiction as Method

The use of fiction as philosophical tool. The Jianwei Xun experiment as "ontological engineering"—practicing theory through its own demonstration.
