The Psychological Engine: "Here is a 16-word sonic code. Repeat it until your brain's default mode network collapses and is replaced by a high-resolution simulation of a 16-year-old flute player in a forest."

Mike could read upon Jacques Ellul or something like that, take typed out notes and discuss it out there.

Some feelings are wrong, actually. If I feel afraid when I see a Black person on the street, that feeling is wrong. If I feel afraid when I see a Muslim person running for mayor, that feeling is wrong. If a cis person feels afraid when they see a trans person, that feeling is wrong.

I've been spiraling around in gemini + deepseek, and think I'm coming to the conclusion that Hegel and Schelling's philosophy is better suited for Hinduism(acintya bheda abheda or something tantric) than Christianity.
And comparatively maybe Marx is more of a Jew and subsequently Christian.
