I’ll probably start my most useless project yet and, at the same time, my most difficult one.

My new mirror, only 4 KB -> theskull.org

Hello, I invite you to check out my esoteric and occult studies. I’ve had very little time to keep the blog updated, but I’ll be publishing another article today.

For the most part, these articles don’t draw direct parallels and are more like “free-form writings,” but when I feel a piece has enough depth, I may explore those connections.

I gave a little makeover to a small project that isn’t exactly innovative either, since I’ve seen similar ones around, but the idea is to help keep the memory of MySpace alive.
The main difference between mine and the others I’ve seen is that, besides having a nicer look, it also has more music.
Anyway, here it is: the incredible MySpace archive: https://pmurad.music

For the sake of your peace,
I leave this Law to say:
You possess what you release;
What you hoard, I cannot say.

I made a peaceful coexistence agreement with time:

It doesn’t chase me, and I don’t run from it. One day, we’ll meet.

God outside of time × God acting in time
If God is eternal and not subject to time, how can He:
create;
respond;
act;
decide;
not do X before and then do X afterward?
Every verb seems to presuppose a temporal sequence.
And there are interesting paradoxes outside Christianity as well.
In Buddhism, for example, there is a fascinating tension:
If there is no permanent self (anattā), who is reborn?
If person A dies and B is reborn:
if B is the same person, then some kind of permanent identity seems to exist;
if B is not the same person, why should B receive the karmic consequences of A’s actions?
The Buddhist solution is generally neither “the same person” nor “a completely different person,” but rather a causal continuity without a permanent essence — like one flame lighting another.
In Hinduism, especially Advaita Vedānta, another extraordinary question arises:
If Brahman is absolute reality and everything is Brahman, where does māyā, the illusion of separation, come from?
If the illusion is real, then something exists beyond Brahman.
If it is not real, how can it produce the entire experience we have?

Divine Foreknowledge × Free Will
If God already knows infallibly today what you will do tomorrow, could you really do otherwise?
Suppose God knows that tomorrow you will drink coffee.
If tomorrow you decide not to drink coffee, then God was wrong.
But God cannot be wrong.
So… did you really have freedom?
This problem has produced completely different answers in Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Calvinism, Molinism, and so on.

I only have two real headaches in life:

1 - Transcoding and Jellyfin.
2 - Plex too.

Today I turn 39. 🥳
It’s a somewhat strange date, full of emotional dualities. Although I’m grateful for this incredible journey. Today is the day time celebrates another victory over me.
This terrible enemy, which reminds me that I am ephemeral, shows up today. And it also reminds me to enjoy every second. At some point, it stops, and I will stop too.
But until that moment comes, I’ll keep wandering around... one moment there, another here.

I had always heard about ETL, but I had never really explored it. I’ve always used ClickHouse as a data warehouse for multiple types of databases. This week, though, I focused on learning more about ETL, and I have to admit I was surprised by how much of my work could actually be simplified. Really interesting. A great discovery. 🙂
