Courtenay Turner is a podcast host and aerial acrobatic performer who studies esoteric influences on modern society. In our conversation she explains how algorithms create feedback loops that program people's perceptions, connecting topics from education reform to transhumanism.

She traces philosophical movements like Game B and Dark Enlightenment back to ancient mystery schools, showing how they drive society toward a technological singularity. The episode also explores how reading primary sources reveals truths that secondary interpretations often obscure or misrepresent.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Algorithmic feedback loops on social media create personalized "silos" that distort reality and program users' perceptions of the world.
2. The School Choice movement may be a strategy to bring all education under government control, executing plans laid out by Alice Bailey.
3. Primary source reading provides clearer understanding of philosophical movements than relying on potentially biased secondary interpretations.
4. The push for psychedelics appears coordinated with studies discrediting SSRIs, potentially replacing one pharmaceutical control with another.
5. Various movements including Game B and Dark Enlightenment represent different paths toward the same technological singularity goal.
6. Identity politics functions by weaponizing compassion to divide people into tribal groups that can more easily be turned against each other.
