A somewhat obscure Welsh Philosopher and womanizer, born and raised in Brecon . Absalam is most famous for his conception of ‘post-futurism’ rejected the Kantian underpinning of perception, space and time for a holistic approach tied to a grammar of ‘molecules gradients’. Born David Ashland he renounced his family name as a false attachment to the past at the age of 17. Instead he renamed himself Absalam, Hebrew for son of peace. Both a philosopher and early dabbler in chemical psychiatry Absalam had developed a rather unique approach to understanding Consciousness . Because of his unique theory of a molecular gradient interpretation of Nomena and his alleged raging alcoholism, he remained a very marginal figure in his time. His ideas were ridiculed in welsh Anarchist and Futurist circles. Absalam died at the age of 45 of somewhat mysterious causes. A deep adherent of the failed science of chemical memory he had developed a regiment of ingesting trace amounts of toxic plastics and experiments in momentary self-exphysicaian. After three and a half years of this treatment his cleaning lady found him dead in his office. Curiously he was not wearing his glasses and tie, which he always wore. His small cadre of followers insist that he was murdered. In the months before his death he had begun vehemently assaulting both the Anglican Church and in a bold move had photographed himself defecating on an image of the Queen. Still, his work reached a seriously limited audience; it is very unlikely that any sort of conspiracy exists. All but forgotten Absalam’s ideas have enjoyed a recent revival in the Neo-postfuturist movement, spearheaded by Aarón Moreno |
