Go on a gallery walk – see the Doug Wheeler exhibition at David Zwirner’s Chelsea gallery. It’s immersive, like walking into a murky universe of fog and mystery. The nearby Gladstone Gallery also has a particularly splashy show of paintings. You could then get ice cream, whether at Cafe Panna, that weird Venchi or the aforesaid Pasticerria Rocco in the West Village, or one of the new Salt and Straw locations. As the sun sets, leisurely bike downtown to my friend Taryn’s photography book launch. You might find yourself on the patio at Basement, Singer’s, or that bar to cap the night off.

I never go to Basement but in the spirit of this week's substack, I’m considering attending the Brooklyn rendition of Japan's Rural Festival, which has carried on a 16 year tradition of psychedelic techno and camping in Central Japan.
Russian Cosmism, as I learn in the back room of a vegan Thai restaurant in a basement off East Broadway, centers on the idea that true morality, at least in hypothetical terms, must seek to defeat death. A truly good pursuit must strive for the end of all that is bad. Russian Cosmism, of course, assumes that death is bad. Therefore - it seeks immortality and to resurrect the life of everyone who has ever died. It seeks to solve the issue of finite resources with the infinite supply of the cosmos, stars, and boundless solar light, to harness eternal energy and then, through technology, make humanity eternal too.
