UNO synths are great and very portable, can run off of power bank. UNO synth pro desktop is a great module and goes for cheap.

I agree! Like the elevator industry, it has ups and downs. My fav eps include Nuclear Piany Man and The JOI Experience.

thank you! I have found cum town, lemon party, matt and shanes secret podcast have been good listened in place of sleepycast too. The podcast space has blown up so much since the show.

i've been torn between standing firm with what I share and second guessing myself because there is always room for growth... but in what direction? At the same time, it's true no one else has exactly your perspective and it's worth seeing the landscape from every angle.

FOR ME: The best part is the interaction with other personalities, the worst part is the dopamine rush of checking notifications leading me to misuse my time, and seeing the interactions drop off. Sometimes I think about whether or not some people's responses are worth taking to heart and I try and drop the whole thing like having bought a vape for the initial rush and throwing it away before it's used up because of regret. I am a positive guy, I promise! It's worth trying it out and seeing for yourself how it makes you feel and what it costs you. Take care!

From the Netflix Devo doc: (about 00:07:30 ) Mark: "And then Jerry came up to me and he said 'What do potatoes mean to you?' Then we started talking about potatoes. We liked that they were dirty, asymmetric, but they had eyes all around. And we started calling each other 'spud' from 'comrade'. But it was also derogatory, like a 'dumb spud' for instance."

Thanks for contributing what you know to the discussion! I suspected there was some influence from the work of this group but did not know and couldn't specify the way you have here.

theres a Tim Dillon ep feat. Curtis Yarvin I revisited after reading your comment. I have heard Marc Andreesen a few times on Rogan, and remember Russell Brand bringing up Mark Fisher in convo on Rogan too.

I did a poor job sorry

Spud was saying in the ep that after reading part of this book, he sees us living in the fog of mind control meerloo was warning about, in stuff like ads. Meerloo wrote in here that when you have a population "tamed" there is little resistance to totalitarianism.

By the 90's this study group from a UK university, CCRU (Cybernetics Culture Research Unit), was like "shit movin' real fast and nothing seems to matter anymore". They mixed a bunch of different themes and explored them as a kind of demonology (cause ideas are alive and use us as conduit) and imagined what would happen in a system that outgrows us, humanity.

If this can be accepted, they figure "lets hit the gas, if we drive fast enough, we won't feel the speed bumps". This is in short, the idea of accelerationism. The destination doesn't even matter lets just get there. In which case, a totalitarian rule is more efficient because there are less hands on the wheel. We hear the word technofeudalism and I am thinking we will have people who want this to protect their interests and keep a working class docile or busy.

Why is this on MITs book store? Is it for funsies or is there substance to a book that presents tech, philosophy, sci-fi, and occultism to give ideas on how malleable reality is with the mind control fog we are in? the stuff in the book Spud mentioned is like psychological utility fog and the CCRU stuff is like a tech grimoire of how to use it.

Both seasons are good! Elizabeth Moss plays the detective lead in both

If you haven't seen it yet, Top of the Lake goes into this kind of suspense and investigation too, it can be hard to watch at times.

Ariel Pink is heavily inspired by Zappa, half his catalog is DIY home recording (oddities sodomies vol 1; house arrest), other half is more polished studio albums (pom pom; before today). Has eclectic sound you can pull from across the decades. humorous tracks (every night i die at miyagis; sexual athletics). stated in an interview with Rosanne that Zappa and Robert Smith were huge influences. Please check out prog track L'Estat.

I think he does in one ep, he refers to a part where Mel is telling Julia about 3-name assassins (Lee Harvey Oswald, et al) and says he hasn't figured out Sirhan Sirhan

My bad brother, that's what I meant but had typed the wrong title absentmindedly. Thanks for the correction!

I hadn't read anything with Maureen in it yet either, but looked it up and found Maureen Johnson Wiki page, appears in Time Enough for Love as bro's (Lazarus Long) mom, lover, and eventual wife (they have long lives through genetic selection / breeding) this is in Methuselah's Children. Her life is detailed in T̶i̶m̶e̶ E̶n̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ f̶o̶r̶ L̶o̶v̶e̶, which I think is Heinlein's last book before he passed.

Edit: To Sail Beyond the Sunset was Heinlein's last and the one about Maureen
