2024-08-15 15:22:12 +0000 UTCMSJ has read Cyclobopedia! He talks about in the David Bowie Blackstar episodes. Episode one of the Blackstar series is where he talks about it the most but its presence is there throughout those three episodes.

2024-08-05 17:04:02 +0000 UTCI don't remember the episode but I believe he has talked explicitly about Cyclonopedia on an early episode. I was still fuuuucked up back then, could not tell you which. Maybe a David Bowie episode? Idk.
Andrew Rassling
2024-08-03 18:09:27 +0000 UTCIt isnt directly related to the latest episode, but it relates to the greater Synthesis theme: MSJ, have you read Cyclonopedia? I heard about it via YT, and it made me think of the episodes with readings of GR segments in Baku. I have only heard of it insofar as a video I watched on lunch break, but it sounds like it's on a similar wavelength.

2024-07-29 18:30:31 +0000 UTCYou guys are all smarter than me, but may I say, Mr. Judge's work and all of your input has helped me to understand the world in a more correct manner in terms of history and that strange feeling you get in your gut that tells you, "Why the fuck is this shit this way?" I've never been spurred to be particularly humble and simply listen.

2024-07-25 13:03:10 +0000 UTCI had a poli Sci professor who wrote a book called Every Twelve Seconds. It was about how industrial cattle slaughterhouses use division of labor to alienate the workers from what they're actually doing so they can keep slaughtering and butchering a cattlebeast every 12 seconds. A literal disassembly line. The disassembly line in slaughterhouses actually predates Ford's assembly line. Anyway it's a good book he's a cool guy. He also had us read The Art of Not Being Governed by James C Scott which I think is a really good one

2024-07-21 16:11:15 +0000 UTCthank you for not giving up, not shutting up, and not shaving any of the Sharp edges off of the realities that you talk about the way most do. objective reality is that a bed of nails that you either sit on or you don't. It doesn't matter what you tell yourself about it.

2024-07-21 15:19:21 +0000 UTCMichael, I’ve donated to the go fund me. Also, don’t feel like you aren’t having an impact. Because of you, I am developing the Nakba curriculum for my school district. Your work has been immensely influential in how I’ve structured the resources, and how I’ve pushed back on suggestions that I “let the dust settle”, or outright claims of anti-semitism (my family were also death marched *to* Auschwitz, so I didn’t have much trouble dismissing these). Also, yesterday a friend who is both black and Muslim was assaulted in our downtown. Many people rushed to help him, including myself. I got between the assailant and two children. The Arab people in the crowd asked me to call the police and interface with them. It resulted in the man being arrested and charged. As you said, someone needed to stand next to these victims and say “I saw it, it happened”, and so I did. The real hero of that day was the leader of the protest, who showed immense restraint in taking several strikes while getting the man under control without retaliating. Anyway, I would be doing what I’m doing, and would not have been where I was if it weren’t for your words reaching me, so thank you.

2024-07-21 14:11:36 +0000 UTCRecent events within the spectacle have forced me to reconsider the literal truth of the gnostics understanding of the Demiurge. For that is his realm. Those things who's existence appears written, by a drunken and evil madness, of a logic and meaning sick and depressed as the meanest joke. That is the world of the Demiurge, and increasingly the only world visible within "Media". The world of small things and big things, complexity and life and feedback looks continues to be beautiful and good, but grows ever more surrounded by a dark purpose

2024-07-20 09:08:27 +0000 UTCThe first holocaust was, if only inadvertently, a training exercise for its victims, so that they might carry out a bigger, better one themselves, against someone else, someday in the future. They are making their teachers proud, and prouder every day. For me it's the incompletely-named skin bank. That's my dog-murders-man-with-down-syndrome-while-he-utters-his-first-and-last-words. The Israeli skin (and cornea and misc. organ) bank predates the present phase of the Palestine Holocaust by decades. Read about it, and then know that for that to be happening back then, whatever is happening now is 100x worse, as difficult as "100x worse than that" is to fathom.

2024-07-20 07:21:26 +0000 UTCThanks Michael, your words sum up my feelings better than I could describe. I've donated to help however I can.

2024-07-20 03:35:20 +0000 UTCYou nailed it with the holocaust stuff. i've been thinking the exact same thing.

2024-07-20 00:12:14 +0000 UTCThanks for this. I gave some, I shared this with others. I hope helps get them (and others) out. I don't know it's so fucking horrifying, I hope at least it sends: you're not alone, you're not foresaken and fuck that's not nearly enough by 20,000 light-years. Bless them and keep them.

2024-07-19 22:39:11 +0000 UTCI wouldn't think it was in the least bit important to write the following if I didn't think I could somehow loop it back to some of the things you discuss in the episode. Here goes: Roughly since Lilly and Lana Wachowski came out as trans I've deferred readings of THE MATRIX and its sequels to trans/queer/enby film writers - I think they're a lot more interesting, and moving, that way. The Wachowskis' oeuvre - the four Matrix films in particular - toys with the idea that, if any one of us has ever dipped outside of Plato's Cave, it's our LGBTQ+ friends and loved ones. The fact that they're expensive action spectacles, and this is my take, is (a) the funniest thing any bigshot director can do, i.e. convince film financiers to give them hundreds of millions of dollars to get really really freaky with it, and (b) queer/trans folks telling normies and squares such as myself "hey, you too can get on the party bus". Experiences and ideas in the Matrix films, beyond the template of the Joel Silver-era Hollywood actioner, include: getting dolled up in cool outfits, for the benefit of your personal pleasure and for your friends' appreciation; VR sex fantasies; doing cool shit as a furry with dreadlocks who can walk through walls. But it's also, and again this is my dumb cishet ass trying to relay concepts 2nd-hand, about exiting that cave, or, in your framework, the locked room. The space outside, simultaneously that of ecstasy and abject horror. And whom among us, but our queer/trans/nin-binary friends and loved ones, has a better claim to the risk of being "outside of society"?

2024-07-19 21:59:18 +0000 UTCAlso completely agree with you about the ancient hatreds bullshit. No it's not about Jews and Muslims it's about stealing peoples land. Same as Northern Ireland was never about protestants and Catholics or Yugoslavia was about Orthodox and Muslims. It's about resources and tribes of people being shitty to each other. Not ancient hatreds or religion.

2024-07-19 17:49:27 +0000 UTCI think David Lynch's work is possibly the most direct modern example of those Latin phrases: "Obscurum per obscurius. Ignotum per ignotius." Based on his own interviews and stuff, it seems that he comes at this by way of TM and whatever he's gathered from Vedic philosophy. He's read quotes from the Vedas before screenings of Inland Empire, about the spider living in the web and the dreamer who lives in the dream. He also definitely seems to know quite a bit about analog technologies. His dad was a research scientist for the Dept. of Agriculture. I feel like the more overt alchemical, tarotic, and occult stuff in Twin Peaks comes from Mark Frost, who openly writes about "Freemasons and Illuminati" in the Twin Peaks books. Then again, Lynch was friends with Bowie and that may indicate a commonality in Qabbalah. From whatever direction, the man is aware of transmutation.

2024-07-19 17:00:07 +0000 UTCI gave a bit to that GoFundMe, thanks for that MSJ. I didn't expect it'd make me feel "better", per se, and it didn't, but maybe we'll all meet again on some distant shore.

2024-07-19 12:45:50 +0000 UTCNot super related to the episode aside from Burroughs, but did any of y’all know that Burroughs’ grandfather was the founder of the Burroughs Corporation, which was responsible for creating the backup project to SAGE, you know; that thing that our good old buddy Mr. Tommy Pinecone’s work in the Bomarc program led to and that later led to Arpanet and then the internet. Idk what it means but it’s uhhhh kinda weird
