157 - Ghosts in Machines Working Ghostly Machines to Not Work At All
Manage episode 367330249 series 2911823
“Emblematic congruence” refers to how well a person represents the culture from which they grow. This leads to some interesting questions: is your culture strong enough to weight you with this cargo?
What creates squalor in a neighborhood? Can architecture be embellished and still squalid?
On this episode, we talk:
UFOs when the sun goes down, 4am wake-up time, informal meditation, not waking up in the machine, optimized sleep patterns, keeping the phone away from sleep, ratios of confidence to confusion, humans as emblems of their cultures, instilling cultural artefacts, embracing the earth spirit to release the archetype, immigrants with strong sense of culture, individualist ad campaigns, becoming wolf vs. becoming furry, affecting attitudes becoming real, category mistakes, the decomposing world, is architecture ever reality?, the shanty towns of Seoul, flourish vs. artifice, the American noosphere, the hunger for subjectivity, sexual teasing, the reason why people flip out, eavesdropping at sportsbars, the show Hannibal, the Osborne Effect, the perception of loudness, never stop experimenting, cool smoothies, and stepping on a rubber band barefoot.
For the dream segment this time, we’re listening to Kris’s awesome musical piece “Minotaur.”
