In this episode I am joined once again by my good friends Lee and Lewis, as we start to explore another aspect of Spirituality and esoteric beliefs, Tarot and its application as a form of spiritual development. This is a slightly more relaxed discussion on the topic, but will be followed up by a more in-depth history if you're interested in that.

Join us as we chat Tarot and our ideas around it. If you want more like this, please check out the series on Astrology which takes a similar approach. There's no better way to interrogate where we are in our spiritual journey, than with good friends and a little wine... This is a part of an ongoing series where we delve into ideas like this, so if you like this, more is on the way. 

Transcription will be available soon. Apologies for the delay, these can be a bit more challenging to accurately transcribe but I promise you I am working on it. 

In this episode we will conclude our discussion on Internet culture and the philosophies that surround our changing relationship with it. So far we have explored all the ways in which the Internet may be classed as 'alive', or at least share similarities with other living structures and networks. 

In this episode we look at a more modern theory, that the Internet of the 2020s is in fact much less alive than we would think. Have the bots officially taken over, have we reached the point that the human on the Internet is in the minority? And is all this a natural process, the logical culmination of what has come before? Is the Internet dead and did we kill it?

Transcript coming soon:

Continuing on with our discussion and moving into the early 00s, we explore some of the theories surrounding the structural similarities between the maturing internet and the human brain. 

If the Internet is indeed similar to the human brain, is it capable of the emergent product of said structure: thought?

If so, does that mean the brain and body are divisible?

The conclusion to our discussion on the Bennewitz affair. Rejoining the campaign against him and the community at large at the point the plan is in full swing. We look at the wider effects on the community as well as the extent to which modern UFO lore is directly descended from stories as penned and controlled by AFOSI agent, Richard Doty.

Continuing our look into the ‘men in black’ myth and starting to untangle the complicated web make up these stories. Government and military involvement, SF authors and counter-espionage agents all leave their marks on the evolving narrative. But what is it evolving into?
