This episode of the Deep Fried Neurons Podcast follows up on a keen interest we peeked into in episode #4 - HP Lovecraft's literature and the deities/creatures from the Cthulhu Mythos.   is an outer god from this mythos and occurred to HP Lovecraft in a dream, where an entity toys with the human race in response to admiration and appreciation, along with blatant disregard for the existence of the species altogether.

This is an episode about how pandemics have been viewed in world history, and how our records of history have shown a trend of refusal to accept that a non- anthropological event could have more impact than human agency on the way the human species turns out. Diseases rank, to this day, as a strong fear and existential threat to the species, and the following records and reflect on the same.

For Episode 64, I brought you guys a sort of an audio essay about how war makes victims of us all over conflict which can be non-violent some times. The absurdity of death that humankind was thrown into with the First World War coupled with our inevitable marriage with regret as a species sort of lead me to make this episode. The fact that it contextualised Wilfred Owen's work to be cited along with Sigfried Sassoon was a great pleasure for me.

For this episode, Yashasvi and I sit down mano-a-mano and talk about truth like a bunch of thinking Chads. We try to explore mainly the observation that consensus on what the truth is very important for our understanding of what the truth is. we also touch upon political and religious monopolies on truth, which as dominated the shit show of human civilisation.

Yashasvi, Karan and Madhavi join me on the podcast again by popular demand and we discussed if we have any original personality at all. The entire battle of dealing with the knowledge that autonomy, as we experience it, might not be autonomous enough is our point here, and the entire idea was to have a discussion about it to explore the possibilities that might be fun and existant if life is a simulation. I hope you are predisposed or programmed to enjoy this episode.

Not exactly the proudest content brought to you, but young man realises chasing ideals is what he has been doing all his life and that he will die without ever getting there. A bunch of books I read and a little clarity in Plato's world of forms coagulated in this episode. Not to mention, the frustration of not having good enough leadership in politics for me right now bleeds into this episode, and a few political readings for the global scenario might be made in blanket statements, and I apologise if that's how it came across I hope you enjoyed listening to it.

Episode 60 brings you a conversation about Growing up, how your environment and genetic predisposition affects you to become the person you are; and how internet adds to that shaping in an ever so chaotic way. Dr. Sairaj Patki, a Professor of Psychology helps us understand and talks about parents as it has traditionally worked and how the internet and parental attention (either too much or too little) meet in a concoction of complicating social lives that make human contact as optional as possible. The Role of the internet as a learning source is only strengthening, and there is very little to go around it, and dealing with parenting and guardian concerns around the same might be helpful to all of us.

By HEAVY requests and cyberbullying (that's a joke in case you missed it), I finally found time to record the memes we should remember from the 2010s and why they stand out to me from the abundance of online content. If your fav memes did not make it, then I'm sorry but this is my final word. My youtube channel hasn't exactly been shy about having a keen interest in memes, and since one (1) person in my audience was extremely interested in having this episode made, I decided to make it.

We also talk about gatekeeping and Indian Gaming culture in general.

For this episode, I sit down with Anokhi, an architect and a new media artist who recently curated a show named "Cyberia" at TIFA Working Studios, Pune. We talk about how is it that the digital realm and the space in virtual reality have invaded our day to day life and how they are bound to collide and become the same at some point. Anokhi also helps us understand what are the most out-there examples of this happening in contemporary culture.
