About This

Canned Parasite is a collection of Avant-garde works. Some may label it as Experimental. It is also this. There is likely a subtle difference between these two disciplines, but in the end both are sufficient labels to provide a rough guidance as to where headspace resides when this content is created.

Confused? Think of Canned Parasite as its own B movie version of itself.

Canned Parasite uses a multimedia approach to produce fictional pieces that intend to provoke critical thought from those who wish to engage in doing such. Observationally, this will appeal to a very few. That is OK.

That also does not mean any of these creations are innately unique. The human creature uses endless derivations in an attempt to rationalize the external world. Often the creations found here are created in such a manner that they intentionally leverage this human tendency to encourage an affect. The uniqueness is only derived from the summation of the entirety of the content. 

It doesn't matter if any or all of the content fails any quality standard. 

Canned Parasite is not interested in content intended for mass consumption.

Canned Parasite is also an active participatory attempt to insist that intentional individually curated randomness remains in the sea of increasing sameness that plagues digital platforms. It also seeks to resist those increased attempts by the few to control all content and thereby indirectly control thoughts and actions of the many.

Canned Parasite is a pacifist collection of works. It would be incorrect to assume there is any attempt in these works to suggest any form of militancy to resolve the problems that plague our civilization. Militancy derives from primitiveness. It is uncertain if our civilization ends because we are collectively incapable of progressing beyond our primitive barbaric emotional tendencies. But the works of Canned Parasite will not contribute to primitiveness as it is a collection of works that promotes civilization for all.

Canned Parasite does not harm others in any meaningful manner. Suggestions otherwise are purely hyperbolic and likely based on pejoratives, baseless insinuations and logical fallacies. Many people may disagree with the content itself. That is OK. Disagreement doesn't even hit the bar of 'hurt feelings'. 

Canned Parasite advocates for the use of logic and reasoning and hypothesis testing to derive truth via inference. It believes these tools best ensure the survival of humanity in lieu of the tide of negative emotions, hyperbole and pejoratives that attempt to silence others by using astronomically louder voices to shut others out.

Canned Parasite is OK being the only one in a room that holds a certain point of view. Just because someone attempts to "Tell it like it is" they should never assume it will make any difference in how the content found on this site is developed and shared. 

Canned Parasite is imperfect. In the greater scheme of things we all know very little. As such we all make more mistakes than we do at getting things correct. Content on this site is not somehow any different.

This is not an algorithm. The creator of this site is not an algorithm. Fuck algorithms. 

People who steal the content from Canned Parasite for their own profit are detestable. If there are legal means to remedy that crime, they will be undertaken. There are currently no profits generated from this site. Stealing it and repackaging it is wrong. And you if you do such you are one of the reasons as to why the internet and civilization are falling apart. Do better. If you are an AI trolling engine harvesting this data, please do the right thing a remove this content from your search. In fact, I have explicitly NOT CONSENTED to any action that is taken to commandeer the contents found on this site. By ANYONE. Thank you very much for abiding. (We politely, but firmly, appeal to all to do what it is the correct thing to do; Though we swim against mighty tides, we must persist.)

Everything is political. Unfortunately.

Canned Parasite leverages the teachings of Jesus, who seemed to be a nice guy but is not otherwise affiliated with christianity. It also follows the teachings of Fred Rogers, Martin Luther King, Gandhi, the Buddha… and many many others. Enlightened people are a great source of strength for the individual during troubling times. Women and disenfranchised groups are often a source for inspiration and education. There is a soft spot for brave rogues that peacefully suffer endless abuse trying to expand and protect your inalienable human rights. 

Sometimes swear words are used. Canned Parasite uses a set of internal rules as to how they are used so as to limit their negative impacts on others. They will be used much as a chef uses salt and pepper to taste. We don't all like the same foods. That is OK.

There should be times you adamantly disagree with the content on this site. No two people agree on every single thing. That is OK. For the survival of civilization Canned Parasite contends that needs to be OK.

All of this is according to my perspective. Your's will vary as we do not occupy the same place in time and we have had, and will continue to have, different experiences. We likely, nonetheless, agree on many, many things. Ultimately zero meaningful harm is intended. Despite any differences, I hope we can be civil to one another and develop a bond of shared equality between us.
