Poolhouse kicks off this arc with a ritual prologue: some musings on perception, pattern recognition, symbolic geometry, labyrinths, the law, angels, and Americans—as he unseals a vision of his octolectical world-system. Mapping the overlap between self, society, and the unseen spiritual domains where power actually coheres, Poolhouse tunes the audience’s perception to a new frequency before this new Backklash moment begins.
The 1865 Project is introduced as a corrective to both the popular “America became a corporation” conspiracy meme and official scholarly framings of American origins that focus on years like 1776 or 1619. Rather than taking the corporation theory literally, Poolhouse treats it as folk symbolism—a distorted but intuitive attempt to name a deeper transformation: the post–Civil War collapse and reassembly of sovereignty, law, citizenship, and personhood.
Moving through Reconstruction, state sovereignty, civil code, commercial law, and the rise of federal–corporate fusion, this episode argues that 1865 marks not incorporation, but mutation—the moment the United States becomes an unresolved hybrid of nation, enterprise, military occupation, and administrative machine.
