Shownotes
“So, then we went into the pit.”
Welcome to the quantum brain. For this episode, I am joined by Günseli Yalcinkaya, writer and researcher. She has recently published an essay, “The Internet Enters Its Age of Aquarius (spikeartmagazine.com/articles/essay-internet-a…)”, at Spike, where she talks about how quantum principles are reflected in culture today. Following her recent trip to Japan, we met at mine to discuss:
* Ankle bracelet politics
* Paris Hilton’s network state
* Why the multiverse has no "edge"
* What is weird now
* Being mistaken for a theorist
* Self-fictioning and failing
* Being trapped under the slimy glass ceiling of the AI slop
* Quantum oil
* Aura, corrupted by boyfriends
* The smell of the Large Hadron Collider
* Cryptids
* Japan’s everyday UFOs
And, of course, the Bag TSA Check.
