Episode notes

The internet is a lot faster than previous modes of communication, but that's all it is. The American Revolution was generated the same way. It's just that the hot new technology in those days with the printing press. And so they kind of, not only were they practicing the kind of art of magic, but they had the this medium by which to propagate these empowered symbols and to augment people's consciousness together at the same time. We didn't even see it. People did not see it coming.

In this episode John Michael Greer and I discuss his 'Kek Wars' article series on how the Chans used magick to influence the 2016 elections. We talk about political campaigns as magical performance, 4chan as the collective unconscious of the internet, the lefts failure to recognize a politics of existential crises, the myth of progress, and the antidote to cosmic indifference. 🐙 The Kek Wars Part 1: https://www.ecosophia.net/the-kek-wars-part-one-aristocracy-and-its-discontents/ Primer on Chaos Magick: https://ultraculture.org/blog/2015/11/13/psychonaut-field-manual/
