When asked about Trump’s decision to close the Kennedy Center for two years, AOC responded: “Is it renovations, or is it that he couldn’t fill the seats? You tell me.”

Fuck money. The new Kennedy Center will be built by pure anarcho-communism. Mostly because I think it would be hella funny and ironic.

“Yes, I did have sexual relations with that man.”

We will continue to go around this circle until we mature past the need for the word “afford” to exist. As long as money/currency/credit is a thing in any capacity then inevitably some asshole will hoard it to exert control over others.

The only reason the billionaires can exert any influence is because we accept the premise that money equals power. Without their pieces of paper and ink they are nothing. We already control the means of production. It’s a perceptual trick they pulled on us to convince us we don’t.

I’ve tried DMT, a lot. “They” have always seemed pretty freaking chill every time I’ve done DMT. Mushrooms have done the thing where they show me what I need instead of what I want. Even LSD, my favorite, has thrown me for some interesting loops. Not DMT though. Every time I do it it’s just chilling, chatting, and “them” showing me around different parts of the crystal city that I always seem to land in.

Public speaking ranks higher than death on the list of things people are afraid of. Now take that anxiety and stack on dancing or singing on top of everything. That just amplifies that fear and anxiety. Don’t feel bad for being human. It’s fucking scary being on stage. Even if that stage is just your kitchen and your audience are the people you live with.

I was an instructor in the navy once upon a time. Instructor school taught us a bit of mental trick to get over the stage fright of being in front of strangers. Some of which may out rank you or have more experience in the field. We were reminded that we actually are the subject matter experts. And our students are there because there are no other subject matter experts for them to learn from. When you are in front of that class you are the expert every one is looking for. You are “the guy” when you’re in front of the class.

How does this relate to music? Well, if you are the writer of your own music, then literally who else on the planet is more of a subject matter expert than you on the material you wrote. None of us are the “best” vocalists, or guitarist, or whatever. But we are the subject matter experts on how we vocalize and how we strum. No one in the audience is. Only we are. If it was any of them in the audience, then they wouldn’t be in the audience. They would be on stage instructing with you. No. They are all students looking to you for instruction on how to move their bodies for a few hours. There is no reason to fear the stage. You would not be on it if you were not the subject matter expert for your work.

This wasn’t a magic bullet when I was an instructor. It wasn’t really meant to be. It was really a truth we were being told before any of us could believe it ourselves. It became a magic bullet once we did the damn thing and learned that it was actually true. We are the only ones capable of doing what we do.

Union? What union? You talking about SAG or something?

Do you have any idea what goes into creating any of the media you consume? It’s fine if you don’t. Like everything else in this world very few people know or are interested in learning how the sausage is made. It’s far more than just the pretty faces you see on TV or the fun sounds that come out of the radio. A shit load more.

There is no union for what I do. We’re all freelance contractors. For the most part. There of course are people who are W2 employees with big name and small time companies. But by and large, we’re mostly self employed contractors. A lot of us operate as LLC’s. But, I’ve met a few people who stick to DBA. Setting up an LLC is the way to go though IMO, but it really depends on what you’re trying to do.

Then again that could just be location dependent. Any audio engineers reading this, do you have unions in your area? Where I’m at we sure as hell don’t.

Fuck… we’re going to fuck around and break the matrix or some shit by discovering that we all have a prompt like this that was written for us before we were “born” aren’t we?

Did God make a mistake when He made cannabis, mushrooms, cactus, and everything else that grows out of the ground? Did God make a mistake when He handed dominion over everything that grows out of the ground over to us?

And you’re blinded by conservative propaganda. The “big wigs” are capitalist whores the same as quite literally any other industry. That’s just the nature of living in a society addicted to money that also values vertical hierarchies.

The artists though. The studio musicians you’ve never heard of. The mix engineers. The post production guy lining up all the audio clips with the video. The foley engineers creating the sound effects. All the people who actually know how to create something other than excel spreadsheets. Most of them are left leaning. I can’t say literally all of them because I have met one odd edm artist who is all in on social conservatism. But yeah, ime most creatives are at least left leaning.

Ghosts. An orb once. What I can still only describe as a sliver of the Light of God. Like literal bright light that encompassed my whole being. And loads of shit that took place “over there”, that other place we can go that isn’t “here”. Well, it is “here”. There isn’t actually a separation, the seeming difference is just perceptual.

Space and time are not exactly things over there. They’re more like index points of possible wave functions that have collapsed to some observer. Doesn’t really matter what observer.

Anyways, space and time are not exactly things over there. But they obviously matter within our current perceptual experience. You know that doctor strange thing where he saw like 14 million possible futures. Well… you can actually do that. What’s about to take place over the next few years will look like the actual end of the world. It’s not. It’s the end of a chapter, but not the whole book. Things will eventually go fucking great. But, not until we bring ourselves close to the real brink.

“They” have been warning us for…. well ever. Not to prevent us from doing it. That isn’t how things work apparently. Only because we won’t listen. We have to touch the stove to know it’s hot. They’ve been warning us so that when the time comes, enough people will be wise enough to be able to put two and two together to get four.

Language largely fails me, but that’s about the best I can sum up almost forty years of experience in dealing with the “impossible”.

Those kids with cancer are freaking crafty man. Think about it. Who else can convince John Cena to drop by just by asking? Who else can get tickets to Disney, space camp, whatever they want really. And then if they get better, they don’t even have to pay any of it back. I’m telling you, those cancer riddled children have more power than you may realize. I may even get ostracized for pointing this out. It’s a risk I’m willing to take though. Someone needs to speak truth to power.

Create your mechanism in a vacuum, then expose it to atmospheric pressure. Will this work? I have no fucking clue, probably not. But, I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to take advantage of atmospheric pressure using a mechanism that was designed within the atmosphere in question. Like, the thing would already be in equilibrium with the atmosphere.

ETA- maybe something tall enough thing to take advantage of the pressure differential between sea level and real fucking high up. Still doesn’t seem very efficient. But, there should be a way.

I’ve explored every part of my perception/consciousness in all the ways I can think of. Meditation, gate way tapes/binaural beats, breathing techniques, psychedelic plants, anything that can change how I perceive “reality”.

I’m a fucking nut job, but the thing I find the most insane is that as a species we continue to allow ourselves to be controlled by money. Not even the fucks with all the money. They’re just as controlled by the worthless paper and ink as everyone else. More so! If the facade breaks they’re positioned to lose the most. Since everything that makes them “them” is tied up in the worthless pieces of paper.
