About

Welcome to the world of Thorpe Brown, a philosopher and artist who devotes his time to challenging our understanding of reality through art and philosophical reflections presented as aphorisms.

This is his story!

Once upon a time, while performing his craftsman duties, Thorpe Brown had a revelation: Nothing has meaning in itself, or does it? His world crumbled and lost all meaning.

He woke up from the illusion. What is reality? What is all about? He wondered… The world around us, our perceptions of it, our likes and wants, or communities and societies, are all constructions, aren’t they?

This shocked him. What have I been living for? So he decided to withdraw from his everyday life to a remote cabin in the world of @the_ape_society, somehow like Nietzsche’s Zarathustra and Henry David Thoreau did. After major turmoil and having his mind transformed, he turned into philosophy and now reflects daily on his journey of de- and re-constructing reality, perception and illusion, meaning and value, and more broadly, life.

Thorpe Brown is the first NFT character to write NFT books on Cardano. You can read his daily reflections on X and find his books, Your Reality is a Construction and Cosmic Poems, here. In Your Reality is a Construction, he presents 365 reflections designed to help you question, deconstruct, and reconstruct your reality so that it aligns with your life purpose(s). Cosmic Poems embodies a poetic odyssey, navigating the mysteries of existence—from cosmic dreams to the depths of human consciousness—challenging perceptions and sparking introspection.
