Parallax Essay
The Big Nurse
Today masks, needles, and lockdowns are part of the landscape—perhaps indefinitely. Just let that sink in. What if the pandemic is neverending? Or, what if, when this is finally over, some new pandemic-like crisis has to be manufactured. Why? Mass Stockholm syndrome? A love of order and control? A need for drama and dissociation? As the pandemic sinks into mild symptoms for most, why are we still wearing masks?
About Parallax
Parallax is a European online media platform offering constructive and fresh perspectives for the post-post modern age. We publish essays and podcasts, webinars and lectures, and are a hub for original and heterodox thinking.
The word ‘parallax’ stems from the old greek παράλλαξις parállaxis, which means to shift the viewpoint of the observer. The name suggests psychoactive and alternative sense-making, as opposed to mainstream narratives and ideologies.
Through our work with various European ‘digital tribes’, we create media and Bildung (education), and promote social, cognitive and spiritual development. Moreover, we aim to provide a European counterpoint to the dominant anglo-saxon narratives.
