The Absence of Reality: Aphorisms, Observations, Reality and the Nature of Existence (A Chapbook) by E. Hughes is coming soon. Release date: October 23, 2025.
The Absence of Reality explores human existence and whether we are living in an artificial reality. An artificial reality is the construct of social and technological advances, the hidden objective reality, and humanity's inability to perceive the world in its natural unaltered state. As the human population marches forward to the Initium Novum Era of human existence, the next stage of artificial reality, simulacra, and simulated environments, are we coding our own extinction?

My event is tomorrow on August 30, 2025 at Goodman South Public Library for a discussion: Demystifying AI: Is it the future of humanity or our demise? With E. Hughes, author of Reality Unbound: The Digital Mind (and the Nature of Reality). I will do my best to live-stream the event if possible for online participants who decide to register. Visit my philosophy website, https://realityunbound.org/ for details

For anyone interested in reading notes on the August 9th event for Demystifying AI: Is it the Future of Humanity or our demise? Please visit https://realityunbound.org/ for details and notes on what we covered. See you on August 30th!

Thank you to friends who tuned in to the interview this morning. Someone recorded it for me. I hope this is okay to use. Here it is for anyone who missed it. . I wasn't expecting to talk about my philosophy books since this interview was about the poetry fest. Hopefully there will be an opportunity to come back and talk about philosophy, time, space, science, and physics in the future. There's a joke in here about Block Universe Theory somewhere (the theory that time isn't linear, but that everything is happening at once. In other words, the future, past, and present is happening now)

I will be participating in a radio event on WORTFM 89.9 FM at 8:30 am Buzz Program to promote the WFOP Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets Sequoya Library Summer Poetry Festival I will be a participant and reciting some poetry as one of the speakers https://www.wortfm.org/
