About

My name is Phillip Slaney — PhD in Bullshiezen, honorary degree from the University of Nowhere. I’m the author of A Waste of Infinite Space: A Journey from Suffering to Peace — part memoir, part spiritual guide, and part philosophical nonsense.

​

I trained in Film Production at university, then spent two years in France studying with the legendary Philippe Gaulier — learning clown, acting, and how to consistently make a tit out of myself. Since then, my formal qualifications have mostly included staring into the abyss, asking it to give me what I want, and occasionally receiving a slap round the face as it's answer.

​

Professionally speaking? Let’s not go there. There's nowhere to go. Which is perfect, really — because much of my work is exactly about that: nothingness. Emptiness. The awkward silences after making a joke no one laughed at. It's the painful point before transformation occurs, I just try to describe it in a way that makes people laugh, cry, or at least causes enough confusion they give up trying to understand.

​

I’ve lived many lives. Once as a sickly baby. Once as a naughty child. And, most impressively, for quite a while as a depressed and anxious adult. These days I mostly identify as a recovering overthinker and part-time human being.

​

Occasionally, I channel a mysterious entity known as Dr Titts — an interdimensional being with ancient wisdom and absolutely no filter. He tends to show up uninvited, talk a bit too long, and leave me to clean up the metaphysical mess.

​

This website is, I hope, the beginning of something sacred: a hub for the lost and confused — the foundation upon which the Temple of Confusion shall be built. The temple is where I plan to teach the sacred art of doing nothing to a group of willing degenerates (the unteachables). If you're confused, good. You're halfway home.

If none of this makes sense yet, it's probably because you haven't read the book. There's a link below to fix that. If you have read the book and are now trembling with admiration, there's also a link to donate to my work and, if you need more, to my blog. Finally, if you're hovering in indecision, there's a link to some free samples from the book to help nudge you lovingly over the edge.
