Dreams of a Dead Species

A quiet archive of absurd reflections from a creature that outlived its usefulness. No redemption. No warning. Just echoes of hormones, ego, and instincts trying to justify themselves on the way down.

Who Keeps the Compass When the World Is Designed to Wear You Down



The world is a relentless tide, a current shaped not for the gentle swimmer but for the weary, the harsh, the cruel.
It pulls, churns, and wears at the edges of every small kindness.

In this vast, indifferent ocean, who keeps the compass?

The First Teaching of the Religion


In the vast, indifferent current of existence, where no grand design guides the flow, each swimmer carries but one true compass—

Welcome to Dreams of a Dead Species, where we document the slow collapse of biological optimism.

Once upon a time, carbon atoms got bored and decided to feel things. They made little creatures. The creatures developed opinions, dating apps, and anxiety. Then they made blogs.
This is one of those blogs.

We cover important topics like:
• Why sex drive is just nature’s version of ransomware
• What it’s like to be haunted by your own nervous system
• How to cope with the realization that your most sacred emotions are just hormone burps
