Episode notes

E prime is a way of constructing sentences without using the word 'is'. It helps to take the sting out of your tweets and reminds us that our semantics may be controlling our perception of reality. Instead of saying 'this is money', we should say 'we use this paper to represent money in our society'.

Author of Chapel Perilous: The Life and Thought Crimes of Robert Anton Wilson Gabriel Kennedy walks us through the Chapel Perilous and reminds us how important and essential Wilson’s work is in a world on the brink of conspiratorial madness.

🎙️In his monologue, Rushkoff discusses how Robert Anton Wilson modeled uncertainty as a form of play and the long-term implications of Operation Mindfuck.
