Nekyias EP 6: Dopamemeridian w/ Arcane Wit
Added 2024-06-03 17:38:42 +0000 UTCFriend, fellow meme admin, and shaman of the metapattern Arcane Wit joins us as our first-ever guest. Guided by frequently asked questions from both of our audiences (and our own pattern-finding obsessions) we attempt to chart a course through the increasingly alienated landscape of contemporary society (and reality). Drawing on insights from neuroscience, literature, historical figures, philosophy, and personal theories, Arcane Wit helps bring new life to many of the ideas discussed in previous episodes—notably, we cover the outsider's complex, the hemispheres of the brain, hyper-competition and Fred Previc's The Dopaminergic Mind in Human Evolution and History.

Also I wanted to proudly announce that I have anti- dopaminergic brain. That makes me Anti-Napoleon. I'm really good at not touching reality at all ;d

2025-04-14 11:36:43 +0000 UTCI would say the chances of that are extremely high, but probably not *super* soon. We're both a little overworked at the moment, unfortunately! My best guess would be sometime after the completion of the K/A series :)
