Decline of Art part 2

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2023/02/21

Brendan Heard of Aureus Press returns and we conclude our debate, begun in the previous episode, on the redeemable and irredeemable aspects of modern art and abstract expressionism. We both agree it's ugly, but I argue it was an inevitable progression from the decline of painting, while he thinks it's responsible for it. Brendan will probably come back, because he's working on another book, and it's fascinating.*Note: I said Wyeth’s painting “Christinas World” was at the MET, but its at MoMa. I also

The Decline of Western Art

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2023/02/02

Brendan Heard, head of Aureus Press and operator of @Trad_West_Art on twitter joins me to discuss his book "The Decline of Western Art," a comprehensive art history book that covers everything from ancient greece up until the present day. It is *the* premier introduction to western art that you could read, and he is unforgiving to "abstract impressionists" and "art speak." This episode itself serves as a fantastic introduction to art history, art criticism, and the plight of both the artist and the

Season 2 begins with Brad and Kevin from Art of Darkness podcast discussing Fight Club. Part one we discuss the cultural impact of the film, and in part two we discuss the themes and meaning of the film. We also compare it to the book and even bring up American Psycho at the very end, a movie that must be watched in conjunction with Fight Club to get an idea of where the zeitgeist was at the time and where its got since then. This episode draws heavily from three essays I wrote on the film that you

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2022/12/11

Greetings all. Charles Haywood, of The Worthy House blog, is one of my intellectual inspirations, and a resource to anyone who wants to understand our historical political and cultural moment. He deigned an essay of mine worthy of response, and granted me two hours to pick his brain and challenge some of his positions. It was an honor and a pleasure, and we plan to do this again soon! For context, before or after, I suggest you read the three essays on his blog that we discuss here:On the Fragility

Delicious Tacos is the godfather of the self-publishing literary movement. We discuss his time in Hollywood, the literary movement happening now, and the “scene” growing up around it.

Elon Musk, Twitter, and the Future of American Oligarchy

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2022/10/12

What are the implications of Elon Musks’ purchase of Twitter? Is it just another Oligarch pissing his money into the wind like Zuckerberg is doing with Meta? Or does Musk have much grander political machinations in mind? Isaac and I discuss this and more in the first ever cross-over episode, to be published here and on his pod at The Carousel. Note: I said Bill Gates was able to get the contract with American schools to put Dell laptops in every classroom, when in fact what he did was get Microsoft

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

2022/08/07

Another early release, think of this episode as a companion episode to my interview with Darryl Cooper. I referenced this discussion multiple times with him, it was almost as if he had been in on our conversation here, he said so many things we covered here. I wanted to put this out early for paid subscribers to check out ASAP as a follow up, you’ll immediately see the similarities, and I want to remind you that Darryl had no idea this conversation happened. I believe the Egregore spoke through him

Game of Thrones vs Lord of the Rings

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2022/08/01

A few months back, my friend Conan made a popular and controversial thread about A Song of Ice and Fire, calling it among other things, a “failure.” His thread inspired me to think much deeper about the series and make the obvious comparison, to Lord of the Rings. This episode is the discussion these two threads inspired, almost two hours discussing the merits of the two series, as well as the cultural context from whence they sprang. What does Tolkein’s world say about LOTR and what does Martins

Thaddeus Russel is one of my all time favorite podcasters, and as I tell him on this episode, he has the most intellectually diverse podcast on the internet. He had my friend and frequent guest Gio Pennichietti on his show and, for his online university they read Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher, a book beloved by the post left.I asked Thad to come on and discuss the book and politics in America today, particularly the left after Trump. His perspective is steeped in history and political theory,

Welcome to a very special episode of the Astral Flight Simulation. I had the privilege and pleasure to sit down for two hours and talk with one of the two or three best podcasters on the planet right now: Darryl Cooper of the Martyrmade Podcast. As I say on the show, he and I are old internet buddies, and he played an instrumental role in the development of my political and psychoanalytic analysis of our contemporary world, directly introducing me to the work of Oswald Spengler, along with several

Nightmare Vision

We discuss how the internet is used to influence culture and politics, and the resulting ever shifting morality and values of the left and right. We cover the new medium of twitter spaces to replace call-in radio, propaganda in the digital age, traditional catholics and “tradcaths,” internet memes, and wokeism as cynical power play vs sincere belief.Nightmare is one of the nicest, smartest guys online and we talked for three and half hours!
