Doomscroll with Joshua Citarella

I’ll be honest — I wasn’t going to publish this part but I’m just a huge JC Dentun fan and this has got to be the some of the greatest 13 minutes of podcasting that absolutely blows my mind. Check out JC’s podcast: Pneumatic Materials.

Deep Research is a mini-series collaboration with Otherworld.

In the final episode, Josh speaks to the researcher "JC Dentun" about the vast cosmology and beliefs of Robert Monroe and the circle of people around him that we learned about in Part 1.

Jack writes:

A big thank you to Joshua Citarella for going above and beyond with this series. He started exploring this many months ago, and quite frankly, I had no idea what he was working on. I was amazed when he came back with an entirely new perspective on the Gateway saga and Monroe's connection to the military. Although it’s just a theory, I personally love the idea of these guys convincing the government to fund their own spiritual research. That's exactly how I want my tax dollars spent!

My guest is Quinn Slobodian. We discuss the crisis of the 1970s and the 2020s. Of all the open theoretical debates, these periods are by far the most consequential. The analysis we take away from these periods will help determine whether neoliberalism was a project of class war (something that can be reversed) or an inevitable development within capitalism (a persistent feature that cannot be changed). The primary obstacle to any New Deal program, green or otherwise, will be to resolve these debates and bring an end to decades of unnecessary austerity.

My guest is Quinn Slobodian, a professor of international history at Boston University. He is the author of "Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism". Neoliberalism is the most misused word in today's political discourse. In this episode we discuss the origins of the ideological movement. What is neoliberalism? When did it begin? How did it transform global politics?

In this episode, Josh talks to three individuals who have done the Gateway tapes Chelsea, DJ, and Charlie. This mini series is a collaboration with Otherworld.

In the next and final episode, Josh speaks to a researcher who uses the pseudonym "JC Dentun" to explore Monroe's vast cosmology of the astral realm.

This is a subscriber’s only episode. My guest is Will Menaker. We discuss “based populism”, the power of comedy in politics, and the realignment of counter-culture in America.

My guest is Will Menaker, a host of the ‪Chapo Trap House‬ podcast. We discuss the failures of working within the Democratic Party, the role of alternative media and a certain state in a certain part of the world. Can humor help us find truth within the online landscape?
