Grant Morrison & Chaos Magick (E296)
Added 2024-09-30 01:22:33 +0000 UTCGuest writers Ben Clarkson and Matt Bors, the creators behind the graphic novel series “Justice Warriors”, take Julian and Jake on a twisted journey into the ideology of Grant Morrison. Morrison is responsible for the Invisibles and a seven year Batman run considered by fans to be some of the best Batman comics written to date. He also claims that he’s been abducted by aliens in Kathmandu, and that we’re all giant centipedes weaving through time and space.

Love my Jakey and I love his love of Weezer. But I have not been able to listen to anything new from Weezer in the last 20 years.

2024-10-09 14:28:10 +0000 UTCDisability justice, fuck yeah! Literally you are the *second* person I've met who has even heard of the PTM framework. The first being a fellow disabled pal who recommended me the book Psychiatric Diagnosis by Lucy Johnston. It just made so much more sense and then seeing that people who have previously worked on DSM in the past being SO scathingly critical of DSM is pretty telling also

2024-10-08 19:02:19 +0000 UTCThere is also a section here on how the DSM doesn't know what to do with "spirit possession" (for anyone who is interested) https://youtu.be/tkNWQdVB4F0&t=72m
hhhhhm
2024-10-08 11:37:41 +0000 UTCCame here to say the same. It's a long standing popular movement here against trident. Particularly became prominent again during the 2014 referendum as one of the points for the Yes campaign
hhhhhm
2024-10-08 11:33:45 +0000 UTCThere is an alternative to the DSM that's been proposed by various psychologists, psychiatrists and people who have been through mental health services. It's called the Power Threat Meaning Framework. The fact that several years down the line people have heard of DSM but not for example the PTM framework or critiques of the DSM is disappointing (but predictable), especially when diagnosis is one of the most easily accessible ways to validate your experience and/or access support. Here is a timed point in a talk where Dr Lucy Johnston specifically addresses hearing voices as being not necessarily a threat response within the PTM framework, as in certain circumstances or cultures it might be considered normal, in contrast to things that can be threat responses, such as overworking, which don't tend to get you labelled (or supported sometimes). Just to restate, this is not a comment on GM or any one individual, but more to prompt some learning and growth around this issue of psychiatric diagnosis and psychiatric "disorder" labels. I also don't wish to take anyone's diagnosis away from them with this point about diagnosis, particularly in a situation where a lot of time access to support and funding currently is dependent on a psychiatric diagnosis (autism spectrum disorder etc. etc.) Power Threat Meaning Framework timed point in talk 👉 https://youtu.be/tkNWQdVB4F0&t=50m27s

2024-10-08 10:53:32 +0000 UTCOne of my pals used to work in a magic/esoteric/crystals type shop (typically serving tourists) as a weekend job and they sold Crowley books but they said nobody bought them really except this one family which was mum dad and two kids who came in occasionally, always wearing all black I think, always in complete silence, bought the Crowley books and left without saying a word. Always creeped out my pal!
hhhhhm
2024-10-08 10:32:31 +0000 UTCThis is making me wish I was into comics!
hhhhhm
2024-10-08 10:28:56 +0000 UTCSo its more like danish swedish and norwegian then 😊 we can mostly understand eachother fine. And some norwegian dialects are more different from my norwegian than some swedish accents here on the border.

2024-10-08 10:27:53 +0000 UTCScots was also the prestige language in Scotland until circa 1700s when the Scots aristocracy got a taste for sending their kids to learn to speak English with that posh plummy accent, and it was from there that Scots language became infantilised (prior to that, for example laddy was/is just the word for boy. It didn't sound 'whimsical' or 'silly' or anything. It was just the word, but it started to be looked down upon by the Scots aristocracy and so it of course spread. Cunts!
hhhhhm
2024-10-08 10:13:29 +0000 UTCAlso Scots is a distinct language from English. I'm not saying that as a joke, it literally is a sibling language to English, so that's why they have lots of words common!
hhhhhm
2024-10-08 10:06:47 +0000 UTCI think this is a broader cultural shift the past decades where some people seem to think they're doing you a favour or validating your experience by offering you a psychological diagnosis. How much further we have to go in that regard. 😞
hhhhhm
2024-10-08 10:02:29 +0000 UTCThey're even pronouncing all the Ts and everything. Mon now!
hhhhhm
2024-10-08 09:55:27 +0000 UTCWhen I was a teen I had someone who was a demonologist show off the fact he did rituals to summon demons while trying to bed me. I was terrified. I think that is part of the reason I'd been drawn to understanding what power they had and didn't have, even though I'm skeptical and I honestly think he was trying to intimidate young women like me.

2024-10-08 05:31:56 +0000 UTC"During covid, obviously" Folks, Covid is now. The pandemic isn't over. Can't you say "during the lockdowns"? Also N95, N99 respirators are still used now by people who know about the links between mild Covid infection and elevated risk heart attacks, strokes and much more, plus that's only the horror that is known. Later down the line? Noone knows. We are only a few years in with this pandemic and what is known about this virus already is bad news. Could you do us a favour and watch science communicator Lola Germs' video: Why Is Everyone More Sick Now?

2024-10-04 19:19:18 +0000 UTCNot Scottish, but I agree. What you people do with your mouths gets way more agregious.
Moosifur
2024-10-04 19:17:30 +0000 UTCYeah they didn't even bring up Crowley's maddening bussy, or the tragic tail of Noidberg. You'd think Julian would be more aware of historic power bottoms.

2024-10-04 19:16:06 +0000 UTCI was really surprised they said Barbados isn't confirmed as any kind of actual entity when that is absolutely done in the "Metal" and "Death Metal" story arcs. Not going to spoil it, but it's all confirmed as cannon.
Moosifur
2024-10-04 19:14:03 +0000 UTCYeah I think you’re probably right. What’s generally true is that it’s something we’re a lot less sensitive about that other types of things people can’t help, and that sucks
leem
2024-10-04 09:25:16 +0000 UTCOpe... I hesitated on listening and now I'm probably not going to. Preconceived ideas or inaccuracy here and there are one thing. Getting that wrong will just annoy me because it's so easy. Ritual magick, chaos, etc belongs much more in a Spectral Voyager setting

2024-10-04 01:41:18 +0000 UTCI'm sorry, and I love you guys, but I had to turn this off about 30 minutes in. There are a ton of very egregious mischaracterizations of western occultism here. As soon as I heard "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law" interpreted as "do whatever you want even if it's bad," I was done. I'm not even going to explain it because a brief internet search would have given you that information.

2024-10-03 06:03:43 +0000 UTCHuh, I was not aware of that. I did notice half way through the ep that either Ben or Matt was largely using they/them, this comment was posted maybe half an hour in, before my disappointment eased off some.
Darren
2024-10-02 19:18:43 +0000 UTCOne of the guests does use they/them pronouns to refer to Grant, and Grant's said that they do prefer they/them but doesn't mind if people don't use it.
TheShockmaster
2024-10-02 18:45:10 +0000 UTCYeah! This is my experience too, im from norway so we dont speak english like you guys do, but we all speak it fairly well, so i guess the expectation is that say americans would be better than us. At understanding scottish. But it seems our practice of hearing very many variations of english has made us better at comprehending it. I guess it helps that our own language is extremely varied with dialects of many types. When people make fun of dialects like that. It reminds me of kindergarten. I guess because allready that early, we where exposed to variations of speech and started to learn that this is the norm. Where americans might get all the way to university before hearing much variation? 😊
Toadwine
2024-10-02 14:03:19 +0000 UTCGenerally I find Americans who speak english cant handle accents so well but those of us in other countries fare a lot better because we consume a bigger variety of media? Like I am Australian but grew up watching a lot of the BBC and being around UK, Malaysian, Indian, Filipino, New Zealand and South African -English accents. I have American friends who make fun of my accent sometimes which surprises me a lot because where I live, there are tons of different English accents and no one cares 🥴

I dunno what I expected. =V
Samantha Falcon
2024-10-01 23:23:48 +0000 UTCMy concern is that is that there is zero distance between “manifesting”, which is normally treated correctly as a scam tactic on this podcast, and what Morrison uses to subvert their public image. I get that it’s mostly harmless for them because they seem to have ethics. The guests were even right to point out that this line of thinking is isolating and narcissistic. But it’s really annoying to be sold that same aesthetic in the same episode. They also got their history way the fuck off, but whatever at that point.
Cold Material Handler
2024-10-01 20:44:46 +0000 UTCJust a note on Crowley and magik, wasn’t just a subversion of Victorian morals but a rejection of the categorising logical aestheticism of high modernism as a gilded extension of neoclassicism. Basically Crowleys larp was a continuation of the reactionary esotericism of the romantic/gothic movements only with an even more thinly veiled quest for pussy.
James Walker
2024-10-01 19:33:59 +0000 UTCi just like how the chaos logo is just the discordianism logo lol
Lain of the Wired
2024-10-01 18:46:07 +0000 UTCThat’s unfair, the guest literally pointed out that the sigil didn’t manifest the pain away. He was talking about how sigils can be a vehicle through which we bias ourselves into seeing patterns. It’s just a brain thing.

2024-10-01 16:27:12 +0000 UTCThis episode was awesome my only wish was that the guests brought up how Grant Morrison believes he put himself in the hospital by writing his self insert character in the Invisibles into the hospital and believes he only got better because he wrote the character getting out of

MifsudZ
2024-10-01 14:57:04 +0000 UTCA good ep! I think some of the characterizations of CRŌW-ley and the GD are a bit simplistic and kind of condescending. That said, the public facing aficianados get pretty kooky and QAA is good for, if nothing else, shining light on the kooks. Keep up the good work!

Devon Cunningham
2024-10-01 10:55:00 +0000 UTCFun episode but sadly tainted because Grant Morrison officially came out as non-binary in 2020 and you misgender them the entire time.
Darren
2024-10-01 07:44:55 +0000 UTCFrank Miller became a liberal after getting cancer, not joking he became more left wing and even talked about it https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/apr/27/frank-miller-xerxes-cursed-sin-city-the-dark-knight-returns
Hooligan Mulligan
2024-10-01 04:22:19 +0000 UTCalso the fact that the guests constantly misgender Morrison who's non-binary and goes by They/Them pronouns
Hooligan Mulligan
2024-10-01 04:20:06 +0000 UTCthe cohosts literally used he pronouns the whole episodes. the only time they used the pronoun thier in refrence to Morrison was when talking about the time they wrote arkham asylum a serious house on serious earth and even when they got that wrong by saying that Morrison was given a small time book and made it a huge sucess considering arkham asylum is a graphic novel, it was created by Morrison, it wasn't part of any existing comics line.
Hooligan Mulligan
2024-10-01 04:17:27 +0000 UTCYa, I wanted to mention the pronunciation too, but I refrained for fear that I might go wild with corrections.

John Brandkamp
2024-10-01 01:18:44 +0000 UTCThis might be too new but I just watched James Janis’ two parter on meme stocks and it’s so fucked up. That Gamestop short squeeze created a Q-like situation among very online retail investors. Had no idea bad it’s gotten, the paranoia, and conspiracies are very Qanon.
wolfgang
2024-10-01 01:15:17 +0000 UTCAs someone who works with voice hearers, I may be more sensitive to causal usage in general, but it did sound like a speculative statement. I think I remember there were instances of the hosts and guests talking about Magick making him "crazy" too. And all the stuff about Batman being a "psychopath." In my humble opinion, from a Mad Studies, disability justice, and neurodiversity perspective, we all should be more intentional and careful about using words that were, and are, used to marginalize, imprison, and dehumanize.
ROU Sentient Lichen
2024-10-01 00:20:03 +0000 UTCI think the uses of the term “schizophrenic” were intended to convey an interplay between inconsistent or contradictory topics. Just like how “bipolar” is sometimes used literally to mean oscillating between two poles or extremities in ideas or behaviour; not as an attempt to diagnose them with anything. Though I may have missed an instance of that
leem
2024-10-01 00:00:08 +0000 UTCHaving spent plenty of time reading his works and hanging out with the O.T.O. kids, I have so many (mixed) feelings about Crowley and would love an episode too! They should definitely read some of his worst poetry. Personally, I'd like to sell them on Ida Craddock. She has been sorely under appreciated for her contributions to Magick and tangentally, feminist history.
Justine Riekena
2024-09-30 22:11:01 +0000 UTCI also had to kind of refrain from doing politifact for occultism in my living room. Regardless, I can’t wait for the QAA ep on Crowley.
M J
2024-09-30 21:57:23 +0000 UTCI think they sound more like Alan McGee, who also definitely did too many drugs.
Brian Sheppard
2024-09-30 21:56:44 +0000 UTCI was absolutely tempted to use that term! I'd argue that the foundations of chaos magick are a bit more nuanced. But certainly the most significant contributor to the movement was 100% a gooner. And 100% PROUD. To be fair to Spare, he made sigil magick much more exciting -- stripped the elaborate and archaic systems (which can be fun in their own way) and replaced it with something more personal, intuitive, organic, expressive and dare I say? Satisfying.
Justine Riekena
2024-09-30 21:51:49 +0000 UTCLike I said, they’re fine with it. And I believe their pronouns were used correctly by the cohosts. I just finished the episode. Basically, it’s ok.
TatsuMaki
2024-09-30 21:37:24 +0000 UTCIirc isn’t his description of time just how it was depicted in Interstellar? Like all of time and all of existence are slices in a matrix and all of time is situated within?

2024-09-30 21:29:53 +0000 UTCYou are telling us the origin of chaos magik is an intellectualised form of gooning?

Max Kim
2024-09-30 19:54:13 +0000 UTCIt probably made her legit angry to listen to Morrison co-opt D&G to produce mid concepts and defend the comics industry against labor.
Cold Material Handler
2024-09-30 19:52:32 +0000 UTCWe really need to be able to see these sigils somewhere. Also, I'm surprised that I'm the first person to point out that it's pronounced CROW-ley, like the black bird. The song 'Mr. Crowley' really set us all up for failure, but it's a good reminder not to look to Ozzy for help with pronunciation.

2024-09-30 16:06:02 +0000 UTCAlso. Trainspotting is set in Edinburgh while Morrison is from Glasgow - the accents are different!

2024-09-30 16:03:11 +0000 UTC"Morrison uses singular they pronouns. ... They also wrote that while they never requested they/them pronouns, they have come to prefer them. However, they do not mind being referred to with he/him pronouns." even if they are fine with he/him, morrison has made it quite clear which set of pronouns is preferred

2024-09-30 14:53:23 +0000 UTCTheir accent was less of a problem than their low talking followed by nervous/giddy laughter which made it hard to follow their (largely wacky in themselves) ideas.

Wheels Wheeler
2024-09-30 14:02:04 +0000 UTCalso i'm relistening to the episode but the Invisibles comic is was first published in 1994 so when they said that the matrix ripped them off, it's more legit considering the movie took scenes like the jumping from a tall building to "wake up" and king mob who's basically white Morpheus being questioned by the agents of the villains before he gets rescued by the other main characters flying a helicopter shooting a minigun on a office building

2024-09-30 13:18:50 +0000 UTCScottish tend to have more of a reason to be anti-nuke considering the UK government stores trident (parliament's cutesy nuclear weapon name) in their coastal backyard. I don't think the anti-nuke sentiment has gone away, it's just the media doesn't listen to or platform them anymore now the permission structure of prole representation tightened over time, as well as general apathy and hopelessness toward daily UK politics can drain anyone of life. ----(Enjoyed first comic of Justice Warriors so defo getting the high-budget star-studded kinetic sequel!👌)

2024-09-30 09:44:50 +0000 UTCAlan Moore dislikes a lot of things... And writes extensively about that. Guess we go 3D and add a third dimension to the chart, to separate them. 🤔

2024-09-30 08:40:46 +0000 UTCAlan Moore would not appreciate being close to Grant Morrison.
PJ Renteria
2024-09-30 08:23:55 +0000 UTCSo Grant Morrison lies in the weird/weird quadrant of the "author vs comic" chart. Huh. Close to Alan Moore. 🤔

Shivvy
2024-09-30 06:45:00 +0000 UTCDespite wanting to fact check the fuck out of this episode (I refrain!), I am stoked that QAA entered this rabbit hole. But since I can't resist this one item: To address the question that was brought up of where this very particular variety of sigil magick originates (i.e., statement of will to consonants to imagery) -- it began with Austin Osman Spare, a brilliant artist, compulsive autoeroticist and crazy cat man. His primary methodology did not involve drugs but masturbation *to exhaustion*, in order to reach a condition called "vacuity." The practitioner is *not supposed to remember the sigil* but completely forget it in order for it to be effective. (See The Book of Pleasure (Self Love) Psychology of Ecstasy, 1913.) Spare was completely mad and not particularly rulebound (his breed of magick was a response to the dogmatism of ceremonial or "High Magick") so I don't think he would have cared if anyone ever complied with his particular magickal technology or methodology. Except for the self pleasure being omitted. I think that might really set him on a rant. Thanks for the pleasure of this listen. I appreciate you guys, always.

2024-09-30 03:15:24 +0000 UTCThat Animal Man run is one of the greatest comic runs ever. It’s rare a writer gets to have a character-defining run, the fact Grant was writing that AND the best Doom Patrol run AT THE SAME TIME, isn’t talked about enough. A true artist.

Hooligan Mulligan
2024-09-30 02:40:40 +0000 UTCI feel like it should be insisted that while Grant Morrison doesn’t MIND “he” pronouns apparently, they are nonbinary and are most certainly not a guy or a man.
