Order of Paradox

⟡ Learn in Public. Play with Truth. Disturb the Real. ⟡

Welcome, Curious Friend!

This is not a website. It is a portal.

The Order of Paradox is an experiment. An Order of one, for now. An attempt to devote my life to learning and experimentation, to my curiosity.

I am Gwynne, a Queer Heretic Nun, Abbess and Only Sibling of the Order of Paradox - though pathways to join are being built. Gotta build in safeguards so I don't accidentally start a cult.

I'm a mystic and philosopher by hobby and also more formal study. I'm finishing up a bachelor's in philosophy after having paused halfway through for two decades, but my cross-disciplinary interests don't necessarily fit within academia, so the Order of Paradox is my experiment in structured study outside of mainstream institutions.

This site is an index of my explorations - some links will take you to a page here, others will take you to my online digital garden built with Obsidian called The Temple of Curious Devotion, and still other links will take you to my essays, poetry, and more elsewhere, such as my Substack newsletter called Our Augmented Minds, exploring extended mind theory and digital tools for expanding our thinking and accelerating our learning.
