🌀 Post-Illusion Press Library

Writing from the edge of systems. Philosophy, performance, and the art of staying human.

What Is This?

This isn’t self-help. It’s self-inventory.

Post-Illusion Press is where I publish personal essays, philosophical explorations, and reflections on performance psychology—uncurated by algorithms, unsponsored by gear companies, unrepentantly human.

It’s a library built from lived experience:

As an athlete

As a writer trying to resist the automation of thought

Some essays are brutal. Others are meditative. All of them come from the same place:a refusal to outsource meaning.
