"Millennial Snot" with Dudley Newright

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2024/10/24

Dudley is on fire right now, first as my guest on Digital Identity and now with his new article on millennial speak, which he has dubbed “Millennial Snot.” You’ve all seen it online, heard it on the news, and perhaps even been subjected to it when Trump comes up at dinner parties, church, little kids birthday parties, or anywhere else these people congregate. But what are its implications, what are they trying to communicate through their tone and body language? And why are they so f*****g annoying

The Crow

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2024/10/15

For Halloween, my guest and I discuss one of the most iconic Gen X movies ever, The Crow. We both love the movie, but we wonder if it holds up for later generations because it was so "of the time." Despite its weaknesses, we feel the strength of the source material, the character, and the aesthetic is enough to earn it a place in film history and deserves a resurgence in the current wave of 90's nostalgia. We are of course, extremely biased.We expected to talk music a lot more, and Nine Inch Nails

Democrat Corruption In The Ukraine

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2024/10/02

My guest Stormy Waters and I detail the breathtaking corruption of the Ukrainian oligarch who employed Hunter Biden and received preferential treatment from Joe and the American state department ,and who subsequently backed and installed Zelensky, who of course has the full support of our government in his war against Russia. I should mention I mix up names a bit in this episode, there’s a disclaimer at the beginning, but at one point I say Poroshenko’s name repeatedly, but in fact I am discussing

Digital Identity

2024/09/23

The dreadlocked girl from a bygone era went viral for a week on twitter, sending Gen Xers into a nostalgia spiral, and caused quite a number of Zoomers and Millenials to ask “what’s the big deal?”My guest Dudley NewRight and I discuss this interview as a window into a world that no longer exists. What changed, how, and was the change for the better or worse?Here’s the video in full (I’m so old I remember when this aired) This is a public episode.

Lafayette Lee on Apocalypse Now

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2024/06/04

Lee, one of the people I admire most, joins me to discuss Apocalypse Now.

Darryl Cooper on UFO's and AI

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2024/05/28

Darryl Cooper joins me to discuss the archetypical significance of UFO's and AI as a "living myth" of the modern era. Are they real? Will AI replace humanity, as so many predict? Or are aliens and AI two different manifestations of the same Archetype for the technological age?This essay, “The Digital Horizon,” serves as a supplement to this episode. Highly recommended read for a concise summation of the perspective informing our discussion of UFO’s and Artificial Intelligence. This is a public

Tarantino's Later Films

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2024/05/23

Today we focus on Tarantino's later films, which I consider to be everything after Kill Bill Vol. 2. While we set out to cover the entirety of his second half, from Deathproof on, we ended up spending most of our time on Inglorious Basterds, which we have mixed feelings about.My guests are Spendo, who was on the first episode, and Isaac Simpson, who has been on this show three times before and has his own excellent podcast, which I've appeared on several times, The Carousel.

Garfieldbot's Ordeal of Civility

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2024/03/28

I discuss Freud with Garfieldbot, writer at "The Egg Report" on substack. He's writing a long series of articles reconsidering many of Freuds ideas, which he thinks are embedded in the framework of the modern individuals understanding of themselves, their relation to the world, and the primary mode of describing human interactions for all of the 20th century.Perhaps now its time for people like us to dispel these ideas, and you can do so without reading a now out of print book, The Ordeal of

American Psycho

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2024/02/16

This version contains an extra hour of discussion than the episode released on iTunes and Spotify and is for Substack subscribers only!I make the case that American Psycho is a failed feminist critique of toxic masculinity, but succeeds as a film, with Bateman as the hero, despite the directors best efforts.I then veer off wildly and give a detailed breakdown of the difference in narrative structure between film vs digital storytelling, and explain the characteristics of post-modern film, of which

Overcoming Nihilism: Is the Work of Art Possible?

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2023/10/23

Athenian Stranger and I use the essays “Over the Line” by Ernst Junger and “The Origin of the Work of Art” by Martin Heidegger to introduce the possibility of the work of art in an age of nihilism. What is the importance of the work of art, how can we produce it, and what value can it have for us?This is part of an ongoing series in Overcoming Nihilism, in which Athenian and I explore the works of various thinkers on nihilism: what it is, how it affects our lives, and what we can do about it.

Open Letter Part 4

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2023/10/18

This is part 4, the final discussion from our Open Letter to Open Minded Progressives reading group. I spend about an hour drawing connections between the political philosophy of Carl Schmitt and Moldbug, and try to argue that Moldbug’s political philosophy is built upon the framework Schmitt laid out. After that it opens to discussion, including Adrian Georges and Athenian Stranger, both who’ve been on the show before, and both who know Schmitt and Moldbug well.Part Three will be uploaded shortly

Overcoming Nihilism: Faith Regained?

Astral Flight Simulation Podcast ·

2023/10/01

Is it possible to come through nihilism with a an intact faith in God? Worse, if you lose faith, can you get it back? If so, how may it have changed? We discuss Nietzsche and Dostoyevski and explore what their writing can tell us about these questions, and examine whether they contain within them instructions for those grappling with a loss of faith and how to get it back.I am joined by @1147x1147, translator of many of Dostoyevsky’s letters, and returning guest @Athens_Stranger This is a public
