The Best BACKROOMS Conversation Ever Had (by us)!!

The Best BACKROOMS Conversation Ever Had (by us)!!

Yo! In this episode, Mikey The Dangerous Maybe [https://substack.com/profile/147897623-the-dangerous-maybe] and I talk about Backrooms, the film that just hit theatres and seems to have been assembling itself out of disparate bits of online fiction and memes posted on The Chans, Reddit, and Instagram over the last two decades or so. What is it about The Backrooms lore that speaks so loudly to people? We get into Liminality, touch on Phenomenology, consider the Weird and the Eerie, point of the Baudrillard of it all, and more!! Then, we talk about Hyperstition, Hypostition, and Retrostition a bit; and we get into Trump's absurd Aliens.gov affair. Keep your ears peeled and your eyes open for Mikey's book, which will be available SOON! The Hyperstition Zone has A LOT that you're gonna want to read if you enjoyed this conversation! - The Retrostition essay- https://open.substack.com/pub/nanceee/p/travels-along-the-fault-line-1-long?r=1jl6yq&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web Don’t miss out on all the stuff going on at Mikey’s Patreon, YouTube channel, and Substack - https://www.patreon.com/thedangerousmaybe https://youtube.com/@TheDangerousMaybe?si=2btoEcN3ta3Dd-V2 https://substack.com/@thedangerousmaybe Make sure to check out Sean's Substack, he's been droppin' some heat! - https://substack.com/@dukesdoswing Three Billion Nances has a Patreon page now too! https://www.patreon.com/nancee and as always, stay tuned for more!!

Am I Just Doing The Thing? Brolo Bellybutton Episode!

In this Solo Dolo Brolo Bellybutton Extravaganza Episode, I invite you all to my fireside chat where we discuss things that've been on my mind of late. I talk about, Consciousness, Geoffrey Hinton and A.I. (of course), I talk about Family Values and Virtue Signaling (and Anti Natalism too!), I indulge in some reflexivity, and then I talk about Diversity as "our greatest strength" and why Contradiction and Negation make that sentiment true. The second half of this episode is better than the first, so you could just skip the first bit. But, also, I might make a reference toward the end that wouldn't make sense if you hadn't heard the first bit, so there's that. But, probably not, I think you'll be alright to maybe just skip this whole episode, now that I think about it; but, then again, the stuff on Hinton and Subjectivity is good, and also the stuff on Diversity. Oh well, whatever. See ya on the next one!!
