The World Is Not What You Think It Is
The forces shaping reality—economic collapse, geopolitical upheaval, the dissolution of meaning itself—aren’t random. They follow patterns. Ancient ones. Residual Dynamic maps the territory between what we’re told and what *is*. This is philosophy as reconnaissance. Ontology as survival.
What Survives When Systems Collapse
Mark French explores the residual—what persists when narratives fracture, when institutions fail, when certainty dissolves. The work here examines: The mechanics of empire – How power actually moves, not how it presents itself Economic reality vs. economic theater – The macrotrends beneath the headlines Philosophical foundations – What holds when everything else gives way Human resilience – Not the motivational poster version. The real thing. This isn’t academic philosophy. It’s operational. You’re not here to debate Kant. You’re here because something in the official story doesn’t add up, and you know it.

Residual Dynamic produces essays, podcasts, and live conversations that refuse the comfort of easy answers. Part of the Pantheonic Index and in collaboration with Hollow Flame, this work exists at the intersection of philosophy, geopolitics, and the economic forces reshaping human possibility.
