My friend Ergriffenheit (artist, philosopher, man of taste) and I discuss Power, the "Will To Power," and perceptions of power, especially as it relates to errors of senses and language. In our age, power is more than a four letter word, our very History and Philosophy (and resultant physiology), from Socrates, Plato, Christ, and onward, was to make Power both our god, and our devil (with zany results to ensue). Join us as we discuss it.

My friend Trish (from the YouTube channel "Teacher Therapy") and I discuss teaching and the education system in America. From failures in curriculum and consulting, to civil war, censorship, and general societal collapse, we leave no garbage pile unturned. Worth noting, this recording was from July or August, but due to a necessary hiatus, I haven't uploaded it until now, but the news stories and events mentioned are still relevant.

This is a sneak peek and drastically altered sample of the upcoming audio project "A Brief History of the Present, soon to be the Past, soon to be the Future." Will humanity become a ghost in the machine by seeking god in the machine? Will man manifest himself as a presence in the world once more? Will the species and its civilizations continue to collapse unto their next viable nadirs? Will tech companies continue to be unregulated monopolies sucking the humanity out of humanity? Stay tuned and find out!
Obligatories and Credits: Aw damn, so many credits are due, largely in order of how they appear: First is music: ALOHA by Feelin Fine and Stoop Party by Deadly Duel from Adobe Stock, and the rest of the music is from Brad Sucks' first album "I don't know what I'm doing." Thanks for the free use of music, even though someone will probably copyright claim this video anyhow (they did, but said "no actions"), but credit to Brad for being the dude who was first or damn near first on the internet offering a better deal on music between artist and fan - major props, and thanks again for the instrumentals (songs in order of appearance, "Work Out Fine," "Fixing my Brain," "Dirtbag," "Sick as a Dog," and "Borderline").
The rest of the audio: South Park, Anything Goes by Cole Porter, Beautiful Strangers by Kevin Morby; Excerpts from Call of Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft; Mike Judge's Idiocracy; The Mysterious Universe Podcast episode "Decivilization;" Deus Ex Machina (A Series Retrospective); clips from Wrestlemania 23 - Battle of the Billionaires (TRUMP VS. McMAHON); much love, respect, and appreciation to huMan (a damn fine man) and Spetznas (the world's best prison counselor and premier male psychologist) for their respective commentary and series of questions on "The End of Loyalty" and "1984," and a few other clips; much love and appreciation to Gregory Grevalle of the Into the Absurd Podcast and Keegan Kjeldson of Destroyer of Light and The Nietzsche podcast (many cuts were used from various podcasts); Nietzsche's crucial work The Birth of Tragedy; clips from 1984 and Brave New World audio books (what's been seared in my mind for sure); miscellaneous clips from American Media (Firefly, The Matrix, more South Park, etc.); clips from what is arguably America's best working comedian at the moment, Tim Dillon (on the Joe Rogan podcast); clips from various talks by Jaron Lanier (tech pioneer) on "WHY YOU SHOULD QUIT SOCIAL MEDIA, NOW" (essentially a discourse on why tech companies are soulless parasites on humanity that are retarding the species); and last, is credit to Hamza, encouraging young men to be strong, to get rid of the social media/tech addictions and distractions, and encouraging said young men to brave this new world. Don't take any shit from these swine.
There might be more credits and connective tissue I've missed (DAVOS, Harrari, Shwab, news anchors and political hacks saying "build back better"), but all copyrights and credits once more belong to the artist or content maker, or more likely, the company that owns them, their image, and/or their work, including damn near everything that I've put out on YouTube.

When Americans say, “There’s a problem with our education system,” it is in fact a euphemism for a wider civilizational crisis. When teachers say, “This is why I quit teaching,” they’re saying, “Here is why I think society is collapsing.” How bad is America’s education system? It’s far worse than most everybody knows, and the deeper problems reach into and beyond K-12 and “Higher Ed.” Yet, while the symptoms of these problems are often unseen, unheard, confused, overlooked, obfuscated, and overshadowed in media and individual/public thought, to the degrees that society and people are fragmented (in their bubbles, proverbially and modernly speaking), there is no clear picture of what is wrong, and for those who do see the catastrophe, there is seemingly little they can do about it. Regardless, the disaster (and those with intentions behind it) has been in the making for decades, and like any other fraud, the crime is now manifest.

Keegan Kjeldsen is the guitarist for doom metal band 'Destroyer of Light' and host of The Nietzsche Podcast. Today we discuss music, identity, mental health, Nietzsche, and aspects of American (Western) culture, including the question that is not really on everyone's mind - is psychosis a sort of rite of passage or coming of age ordeal for youth in the West?

My friend Gregory Gravelle (from Into the Absurd podcast) and I are back to discuss Carl Jung's essay, "The Undiscovered Self." The following conversation follows through with more questions and suppositions on the curious state of the modern Western zeitgeist; the individual's precarious position amongst mass forces and collectives; and the ongoing question - what does the future hold?

My friend Gregory Gravelle (from Into the Absurd podcast) and I discuss Carl Jung's essay, "The Undiscovered Self." The ensuing conversation questions the precarious position of the "mass man's" place in the modern world as an individual. The term "mass man" is used by Jung to denote that modern man is increasingly driven, disempowered by, and manipulated through mass forces of government, media, public opinion, propaganda, technology, and many other aspects of a larger, alienating, all-encompassing and ever-more complex industrial civilization, leaving us with one primary question: how can the individual protect themselves from the ever encroaching mass forces of an already coercive and deceptive modern western culture?

My father and I recorded a series of conversations over the course of the 2021 holidays. The intro about bananas is a cut from the second night of recordings, and the rest of the episode comes from the third night of recording at the end of a long day. James shares war stories, and some on life in the aftermath. We also discuss authority and its temperament in America, among other topics, stories and jokes. Worth noting, the use of sarin gas is a violation of the Geneva Convention.

I'm Mynaa Miesnowan, and this is a podcast about Philosophy, Religion, Art, and Science, AKA, people and their state. My purpose here is that which concerns the expansion and refinement of vision, an embrace of the Earth and our senses. In short, education is important.
