Where Does PolyProse Go from Here?
Today’s post steps aside from my usual rhythm. I’ve been exploring cultural critique and have leaned into philosophical reflections. I’ve played with allegory, journalism, and some lifestyle content. Some posts focus on me, others on humanity as a whole. My style has varied from light musings to soulful meditations, and my tone has shifted from Continue reading

Where Is the Farmer When a Dog Hoards the Trough?
There is an old Aesop fable about a dog who wandered into a barn. Inside was a trough full of straw. The dog curled into the bed of dry grass, warmed by the sunlight spilling through the windows. While it rested, an ox entered. Unlike the dog, the ox had a rightful place there. He Continue reading

Does the Devil Wear Blue Jeans?
If you haven’t watched The Devil Wears Prada, then as Mushu once said, “Dishonor! Dishonor on your whole family! Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow!” It’s a must-watch. The story follows Andy, a recent college graduate who aspires to be a journalist, despite having little experience. She lands a job at Runway magazine as Continue reading

Did Prometheus Deserve His Punishment?
Prometheus is a Titan in Greek mythology. He is often remembered for his famous defiant act: he stole fire from the gods and gifted it to man. However, it wasn’t just a flame. Prometheus handed humanity the spark of progress. After the Titan struck the sun and gave the torch to humans, Zeus bound him Continue reading

Should Our Bodies Be a Trend?
I heard the term “Ghost Lashes” recently. For those unaware, ghost lashes refer to when someone doesn’t wear any eyelash-enhancing products. In other words, no mascara, no falsies, no eyeliner. This “new” idea has started to gain some popularity. Of course, there are people proudly refusing to leave their homes without falsies. There’s been some Continue reading

How Far Are You Willing to Go for Something You Want?
I just finished watching “Fear Street: Prom Queen.” It is a 2025 Netflix movie. Like most Netflix horror movies, it was somewhat lacking in delivery. I was in the mood for a slasher flick, and I guess it did a good enough job at scratching the itch. The movie is about a girl with a Continue reading

Will We Ever Know Everything?
I don’t think the human mind is capable of retaining the universe’s information. I believe that attempting to grasp the entirety of the universe in our hands would drive us insane. However, understanding the structure of a neutron star’s core may help society with technological advancements. Computers will do most of the legwork. I believe Continue reading

When Do I Feel Most Connected to Something Greater Than Myself?
I just finished watching the movie “Us.” I asked myself what it means to have a soul and a shadow. I found myself in a rabbit hole, no pun intended. There is one scene in the movie where the “shadow” is dancing and says that she felt God. I wasn’t quite sure if I had Continue reading

What Is love?
I don’t think love is a feeling. We feel happy that someone we love has succeeded. We worry that someone we care about has gotten hurt. We fear death will break into our home and kidnap the people we hold dear. Love is too complex to define with simple terms. Love is a system of Continue reading

What Would Remain of Me If My Memory Were Erased?
There are definitely people out there who have suffered total amnesia, but I’m not one of them. However, I can surmise an answer. The core question hidden in the one above is “Who am I?” which I don’t think anyone knows. It’s a funny thought that the person we know best is actually a stranger. Continue reading
