The crypto market has crashed. Comedy philosophy is The Key. In this episode, me and bienstock dive deep into the idiosyncratic concept the Spectre of Finance Punk and discuss some of its conceptual origins: Leibniz, Monad theory, Chaosophy, Concept Art, Post-Art, and Mail Art, and probably the least boring explanation of Francois Laruelle Non-Philosophy around. An NFT Goddess "Web 3 meets Spirituality" event this weekend and determines that he was the spectre all along on mushrooms. This is a rigorous lesson on nubased, non-BBQ, and the Omnicringe, where we get to talk about and preview the book and movie we just finished a little bit.

This episode also details the nature of speculative finance and its collapse, how ideas and concepts have objecthood, and are liberatory in and of themselves. We made all the music for this episode! Lots of work went into this, thanks for listening <3

Shannon Cartier Lucy is a painter who went from the NYC art world to divorce, heroin addiction, to moving back home to Nashville and 'giving up' to resuming her practice (but as a painter) 10 years later and acclaim through posting them on the internet. She has  one of the most remarkable stories (and ASMR voices) around. We also discuss our love of Rinpoche Chogyam Trungpa, Crazy Wisdom and Shambhala Vision, how ambiguity clarifies, growing up with a parent with schizophrenia, Nunsploitation, and burnout.
