164 - The Rigged Game of Humanity

What is the value of The Tunnel?

 

In this episode we talk about strange summer winds steering us back to shore. The Osborne Curriculum (always have something to do). Learning to trust what you Herd. Stage managing the depths of downtime prep. The confidence of Method (performing to standard). Wincing at flaming pedagogies. A game where you learn as you flee. Working through Decisiveness and Decision. 

 

Barbie vs. Oppenheimer (The Barbenheimer Phenomena). Having poor taste toward atrocities. Celebrated Brutality. Vibing with the Sirens. The facade of the Nuclear Dolls. Sifting through the Emblematic Rubble. The plastic significance of Mattel Omens. The Sinister Joylessness of Cartoon Idolons. The inherent hauntedness of bad cinematic magic. The intelligence of context, timing, and precise delivery. Rhetorically numb religiosity. Dignified responses to advanced weaponry (Atomic Insanity). Sacrificial rites of Destruction and Exploration. Anesthetic Luxury Curses and Idiot Compassion. The necessity for tough magic. The Jargonized Victim-Agent. The resurgence of Lost Psychologies (Do Good to Be Good). 

 

The Obsession with Potentiality in a Limited Space. Pragmatic instrumentation and the Myth of Life. The Vibrancy of a Constricted Path. The sunk cost of eternal infancy in the face of commitment. Psychopathic Poltergeists of Potential vs. The Practicality of Regret. The Linguistic Ecology Sweepstakes. Courageous Re-Evaluations. Giving yourself a well deserved reward. Erotic Lucid Escape Dreams. "Now entering Sunken City, CA" and the delusion of abiding by Dream Logic.
