Ezelbergasz's main philosophy revolves around that claim that reality itself prefers to be misunderstood. As he wrote in On The Edge of Knowing, it “folds itself away from comprehension like origami made of shadow.” Attempts to clarify truth, he warned, risk “collapsing the real into a simulation of logic.”

Ezelbergasz argued that silence is an active agent of revelation. In some rituals, he would sit in a circle of clocks set to different time zones, listening to the ticking until the “patterns began whispering ideas too shy to exist in daylight.”

Knowledge, he claimed, is generated not by content, but by friction between unrelated elements—a kind of philosophical static. He suggested designing learning environments where contradictions remain unresolved, allowing insight to “flicker between.”

The core of the moral theory, which he first explored in his book, and then expanded on in his London lecture series, was a doctrine he called Ethical Refractivity, which later scholars have termed "Fog Ethics." Fog Ethics proposes that any clear moral stance must be bent, reversed, or occluded before it can become ethically valid. "All righteousness," he wrote, "should taste faintly of hallucination."
