Phenomenoumena

In this episode, we follow up on the Amiga talk in the previous episode with broader and more philosophical perspectives looking at the world at the levels of technology, politics, education and consciousness. The discussion focuses on where the world is heading and ideas for a better future world. We cite the works of Brooks Adams, Richard Baldwin, G.I. Gurdjieff, Alan Kay, Laibach, Thomas Malory, Douglas Rushkoff, John Ruskin, Doug Stanhope, Ken Wilber and Robert Anton Wilson, among others. We also discuss Ro Khanna, Rand Paul, Bernie Sanders and make special mention of Wil Wheaton in a short section on the science-fiction connections of the Amiga to Star Trek: The Next Generation and NASA.

In this episode, we go on a 1980s-90s cyberpunk adventure, starting with world’s-first translations from Japanese to English of excerpts from a book by Susumu Hirasawa. We explore the reality underneath the marketing in the home computing war of the era, discussing Douglas Engelbart and the Mother of all Demos, Halt and Catch Fire, the Stanford Research Institute, Xerox PARC and much more, all while taking an in-depth look back at the machine that was the computer of the future - the famed Amiga.

In this episode, we invite special guest Richard Smoley, a Harvard and Oxford-educated author, to discuss his most recently published book, A Theology of Love: Reimagining Christianity through A Course in Miracles – A Spirituality Based on Love Not Fear. “A Course in Miracles” is a channeled work by Helen Schucman which most recently entered public consciousness through 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson, a follower of A Course in Miracles who famously told then-President Donald Trump “You have harnessed fear for political purposes, and only love can cast that out.” This interview is uncut. We also touch on the works of Chogyam Trungpa, G.I. Gurdjieff, Ken Wilber and many others.
