Joe Rogan Experience #2247 - Duncan Trussell
I do not typically listen to JRE. I listened to this one, because it was the episode in which Rogan mentioned "The Telepathy Tapes" - the podcast which recently surpassed his ratings on Spotify. There is a LOT of deep meta-content in this one. For example:
Duncan Trussel knows what a siddhi is - and acknowledges that pure stand up comedy is an example of such. (Western mystery schools use the word "clair" for the Hindi word "siddhi".)
Hi everyone, I haven't been active in Solid Ground for a while, but I am still alive and kicking! I now work as personal assistant to a mind-bendingly weird and diva-esque artist-lip-syncher-performer named Fiona Blueberry. She is blissfully clueless about politics and seems to be completely unaware of the culture wars. Working with her is a breath of fresh air. If you need a mood lift, I encourage you to watch this video we made together. Happy 4th, everyone! Wishing you fun/love/peace on this holiday. :) www.fionablueberry.com
Our very own @YayRain (after having imbibed some golden nectar), shares with us yet one more problem with CRT....
The subtitle of this is "A New Technology Vision for the Right," but a number of the elements would have been considered on the left not that long ago. Several signatories with whom you might be familiar such as Mary Harrington or Matthew Crawford.

Came across this lasts night in C.S. Lewis's "The Abolition of Man" (copyright 1944; p. 73 in my edition), and wanted to share:
"We have been trying, like Lear, to have it both ways: to lay down our human prerogative and yet at the same time to retain it. It is impossible. Either we are rational spirit obliged for ever to obey the absolute values of the Tao, or else we are mere nature to be kneaded and cut into new shapes for the pleasures of masters who must, by hypothesis, have no motive but their own 'natural' impulses. Only the Tao provides a common human law of action which can overarch rulers and ruled alike. A dogmatic belief in objective value is necessary to the very idea of a rule which is not tyranny or an obedience which is not slavery."
