Guest  Hunter Ravenna Hunt-Hendrix of Liturgy: a conversation on religion's role in art today: a trend, or beyond? The Overton window shift, being 'polarizing' outside of exterior cultural situations, on asceticism vs. pleasure-seeking, fabulism, accelerationism, trad, animism, Friedrich Schiller, automation, chaos magic, finding your own morality/(agency), Vajrayana, & more. Very nice to talk with someone who has a very different outlook than my own. Hunter's first solo show can be viewed at Gern NYC.

Why do ideas that seemed radical just 6 months ago seem so played out now? Does repetition yield new becomings or burnout? Rituals can be an answer to the production of the self and the excessive search for trends and novelty. Rituals bring closure while stabilizing life and allow it to flourish. We look at all this through Byung Chul Han’s The Disappearance of Rituals, Werner Schroeter’s adaptation of the book Malina, and Desert Islands by Giles Deleuze…

Sleepy Time Bear is a twitter user well known for his universally beloved and beautiful romantic modern poetry. In omnipresent flashes of digital hate-release, he spreads fondness on the TL, bringing joy to anyone who comes across his Celestial Seasons avatar.

We talk about erotic poetry and the language of love, from the anonymous, steamy, adulterous lais of Marie De France to Heloise and Abbard and William Blake; an appreciation of The Ladies, just 'understanding' things, making theorycels angry, and some great advice from the bear himself. He has been described as an 'instant anti-depressant'.

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. Barrett details his infiltration of 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
