Episode notes

Well, it's a kind of freedom, particularly from the kind of straight jacket that most of our culture finds itself in. Very few people can hang out for long at that place where opposites are true. And so the ability to go back and forth and to change stories is actually a very important part of magic. There's a sense in which magic is simply a way of storytelling.

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/
