AI-Managed Willy Wonka Experience Goes Wrong

This week's episode is an installment in the long-running World Without Sin series, examining how we respond to monolithic media and how not every outsider is a plucky freedom fighter.

We also look at how and why it might be that all forms of expression are collapsing into a meme singularity and what this might have to do with the jester archetype.

After that there is a life update and a travel magic story. And then -on the video version only- we have a Q&A where we speculate on the whereabouts of Kate Middleton, what's really going on with Boeing, healing from trauma patterns and G. K. Chesterton.

Also, I promised I'd share some of the memes that were hard to convey in audio format, but instead, I am just sharing a link to the presentation from the livestream. It's all here if you're interested.

The show notes are just some other things that are coming up or going on, because why not?

• Peter Grey's talk at Occulture Berlin 2023: Atomic Gods: Magick beyond the nuclear horizon.
• J. F. Martel of Weird Studies has a new course coming up this months on the films of Stanley Kubrick.
• This Missing Witches fundraiser that Rune Soup listeners contributed so generously is coming back around again. I probably mentioned this one a few weeks too early as I have no detail on prizes and such yet, lol. But the link is here!
• Hadean Press have just released the final Jake Stratton-Kent book we'll ever get, Cyprian's Offices of Spirits.
• My own fancy, pre-ordered copy is winging its way to the farm where it is useless to me for the Q2 member course will be Grimoires 2: Your Greek Inheritance (The Jake Edit) as I am currently back in South America. Lol. Anyway, more details on that closer to the date.
