Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Morgane Ciot & Alice Maynewaring | Psychomagic, Jodorowsky, LARP, and Ritual Theater
Q: What would you like people to come away from the experience with?
I want them to feel it's possible to do real things together as sovereign adults in a semi-fictional setting.
Morgane Ciot & Alice Maynewaring | Psychomagic, Jodorowsky, LARP, and Ritual Theater
Q: Why are you guys more attracted to doing this than doing just like a normal play or performance or something like that?
We believe traditional theater doesn't offer much that you can't get at home anymore, and we want to invoke participation to create real experiences.
Matthew Green | The Spirit Behind AI
Q: How do you see AI impacting our consciousness?
AI could create a scenario where discerning reality becomes challenging, potentially leading to widespread manipulation and a breakdown of shared understanding.
Matthew Green | The Spirit Behind AI
Q: Matthew, why are you concerned about where AI is taking us?
I'm concerned about a dystopian post-human future, massive job losses, and social dislocation. There's also the potential for AI to manipulate behavior and create powerful indoctrination machines.
Dr. Jeffrey Kripal & Andrew Gallimore | DMT, Hyperdimensional Contact & HIstory's End
Q: Can you summarize the core thesis about DMT and consciousness?
DMT serves as a conduit to experiences that transcend materialistic views of reality, suggesting a broader understanding of consciousness.
