Episode notes

There's still this sense of the evolution of consciousness is kind of taking us to this better future inevitably or something. How do you factor that into? I would refer to that as stark stirring crazy. We haven't progressed in any sense that in terms of consciousness, come on. The last round of presidential campaign debates were made to a bunch of working class Chicago guys voters and ordinary voters. And yet these were Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln, Stephen Douglas debating the issues of slavery. They're still worth reading today.

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/
