The Unholy Consult / [TUC Spoilers] Ajokli, Gods, and Chorae
« on: May 04, 2020, 09:04:39 pm »
I was reading a Reddit thread in the past couple weeks and one of the comments made me genuinely curious: by what mechanism do we think Ajokli/Kellhus could force all the Chorae and the skin-spies to the ground in the Ark?

General Misc. / Jordan Harbinger Podcast
« on: April 18, 2019, 02:08:01 pm »
I'm surprised I haven't shared any links from this show.

Anyhow, this is one certain to appeal in different ways to Bakker fans:

- Beau Lotto - Why You See Differently When You Deviate

Much to wrestle with. I wish I had written down my thoughts when I first listened to it because I had a handful of quibbles.

Also, now that I think of it, I thought I had posted this one before but if not:

- David Eagleman - How Your Brain Makes Sense of the World (also have quibbles with this but you know me - the quibbler.)

Philosophy & Science / Consciousness Live! with Bakker

A facebook group member found this - two hours-ish, I think, of Bakker talking TPB.

I still haven't got a chance to listen to it all.

News/Announcements / New Bakker Website

https://secondapocalypse.ca/

Apparently something Bryan Bakker cooked up since Zaudunyanicon. You can purchase officially (I would assume, as Som is receiving a percentage of sales) prints of SpiralHorizon's art.

We're giving feedback on the layout - considering Bakker's old site nor his blog ever listed TGO and TUC for purchase.

But...

You can go to "Media" at the bottom of the page and then attempt to navigate the playlist of nipped and tucked videos promised from Zaudunyanicon (finally!).

Fires in the Amazon Are a Problem For the Entire Planet

I know this is an oft politicized discussion but, as per the link, having known many Forestry students and Forest Firefighters, fighting forest fires seems a far more effective way to impact/prevent extreme climate fluctuations.
