A rare treat! Snow in Austin TX; guest host Ignacios T. Thad launches first ever ‘Snowstorm Brostorm’ & shares a convo between Morgan and Charles about a poem called “Kef 12.” Morgan struggles with it’s meaning as Charles aids in it’s exploration. They revel in a flurry of speculation. The snow builds thick. Check out the poem [Kef 12] by {Henry Dumas} here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/53476/kef-12

Morgan, who knows that weather isn’t only used to describe ecosystems, takes a rare recording absent of natural rain to talk about the current rain of asset growth occurring on crypto-currency markets. He gives a beginners explanation of the differences between decentralized cryptocurrency financial institutions and centralized banks. He hopes to assuage fears in the minds of older investors more accustomed to banking and engender excitement amongst younger generations towards the potential of blockchain powered credit systems that Bitcoin represents. He uses an in-app incentive system to demonstrate the differences in how financial institutions empower or disenfranchise consumers and investors.

A prolonged winter shower and night of reading combine to give us a reflection on Alan Moore’s “Promethea” graphic novel series. This series follows a goddess of archetype given form by those who would imagine her; a good practice for thought in 2021

Host Morgan winds down a stressful day; one of the last in 2020; a day full of rain. He reflects on the potential that platforms like TikTok have for surreal and informative expression.

Morgan buckles up for a drive on a misty December morning in Austin TX. He recalls a worrisome exchange he had with a loved one which demonstrates the dangers of assigning the archetype ‘Fake News’ to an individuals espoused viewpoints. He warns against letting this archetype obstruct one’s own research into a topic.

"Post Truth; Uncouth” - Discontented in the Winter of 2020;

[Rainstorm Brainstorm, Episode 10]

Time: 3am

Condition: Clear, Moonlit, 40 degrees

Location: (Austin, TX)

Guests: none

[Topic:] Exploring U.S. 2020 presidential election credibility as a demonstration of how fact and framing interact in the era of social media.

Narrative Abstraction: Engagement-driven algorithmic media-marketing has led us to a spot where truth is harder than ever to objectify.

// Eschewing the comforting patter of droplets on grass, Morgan ventures out into the woods near his house to engage in a Yuletide ritual with the Moon and its somber reflections.

Once situated he discusses bothersome habit our culture has developed of DIS-engaging in RESEARCH and OVER-engaging in ASSUMPTION, and outlines a first step towards preserving discourse in the current political and economic climate.

As a case study, he offers the topic of election credibility in the U.S.

Somewhere a crow flies east as a thunderhead forms.

"One Peak (One Trough) One Peak" Rainstorm Brainstorm, Episode 9

Time: 1pm CST

Condition: passing shower

Location: (Austin, TX)

Guests: none

Topic:  Twin Peaks as a Zen Buddhist Koan (公案)

Narrative Abstraction: Surrealism and Zen go hand in hand. 

"Not expecting a shower, Morgan dips onto the patio to enjoy a reflection about a TV series he's been re-watching recently (Twin Peaks). As he watches the droplets plummet and puddle he ponders on how surrealism and artistic expression can give insight into the teachings of Zen Buddhism, and vice versa.

As a remedy to existential angst he indulges in this whimsy with gusto.

He thinks he feels a song coming on..."
