Using Hitomi’s journey in The Vision of Escaflowne as a case study, Aziz Tarkhan examines the unstable mechanics of free will. Through anime, philosophy, and narrative analysis, the essay asks whether human choice is real or only ever shaped by forces already in motion.
“Hitomi chooses not to choose. Through her visions, she is aware that there are potential determined paths, but she accepts that the illusion of free will is how we should experience it.”
The Mechanics of Free Will by Aziz Tarkhan
Kendrick Lamar & Fundamentalism
by Ramone “K” Anderson
Following Kendrick Lamar’s music from his first EP to GNX, Ramone “K” Anderson explores how faithe volves under the pressures of culture, doctrine, and lived experience. Part criticism, part personal reflection, the essay moves through Christian fundamentalism toward a broader spiritual framework beyond rigid binaries.
“Reaching the apex of dysregulation, like Lamar, I too went looking for answers.”
