About this episode

The episode discusses the rapid pace of information and its effects on culture and mental health.

So almost a decade plus after McKenna's supposed time-wave apex, we find ourselves at the peak of it, finally living in a space where information moves so fast that it's breaking apart as it travels, and as such leads to broken brains and more melting faces... Sometimes you follow a rabbit hole and it leads you to a wascally wabbit, in these times I fear the hole is blacker than imagined and with no potential for escape... The cultural model is crashing, and I worry we'll be able to land it without destroying the runway in the process... As such we continue with the revolutionary themes of the last episode, allowing the psychosis to crawl on its belly and permeate whatever we're calling the airwaves these days... Keep your head up, don't let them lie to you about the state of things, and in the name of St. Adams, don't panic.... This episode features: Folding Ideas Bit Brigade Brian Morabito Revival Season B.
