Self-Portaits As Other People redux

Saturday, 19 October, 2024

Friends, listen to my recent conversation with The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo on his Self Portraits As Other People podcast. We get into new territory like protocols for accessing precognition in meditation, the nature of the ego in relation to consciousness, and pareidolia in cave art, among others.

Becoming Timefaring (Part 3)

Tuesday, 15 October, 2024

At long last, I revised and updated my old posts on wormholes and timeships as the third installment of my Becoming Timefaring series on Medium–check it out. Among other things, I replaced the wonky gifs of my “UFO Motion Studies” flipbooks with animations featuring the inimitable flying saucers of David Metcalfe, who also is doing the epic drawings illustrating each part of the series.

Pop Apocalypse

Wednesday, 25 September, 2024

This was one of my favorite conversations yet–with Matthew Dillon of Pop Apocalypse podcast (Harvard Center for the Study of World Religions). We hit cool topics including Zen, Freud, Virginia Woolf, PKD, Andrei Tarkovsky, and the roots of creativity.

Enjoy!

Becoming Timefaring (Part 1)

Saturday, 21 September, 2024

“Before we develop the technology needed to build a quantum chronophone, before we find a source of negative-mass material to open and stabilize a wormhole, and before we 3D-print the spacetime-warping metamaterials needed to build a timeship, the first step in becoming timefaring is applying the toolkit (or arsenal) of the literary critic or deconstructionist. We need to travel back in pop culture and assassinate some hallowed sci-fi tropes, most notably the infamous grandfather paradox and its variants, in order to liberate ourselves into surprising new conceptual and imaginative realms.”

Check out my new Medium article, Becoming Timefaring (Part 1): Assigned Walkways and other Time Travel Fallacies. It is the first in a series on the myths and realities of time travel and our timefaring future. With art by the inimitable David Metcalfe.

Danny Jones podcast appearance

Monday, 1 July, 2024

This normally travel-averse fellow flew all the way to Tampa, Florida to appear on Danny Jones’ podcast. It was a fun conversation. But no, unfortunately, scientists have not “proven” how dreams accurately predict the future–if only!

Enjoy.

Art and the Precognitive Imagination

Saturday, 1 June, 2024

“Long story short, I think we all receive oblique and foggy signals from our future self when we are creating, just as folklore insists we do when we sleep. Whether it is a 10-year-old foreshadowing a future learning experience in a random school assignment, an avant-garde painter depicting a life-changing injury in his canvases, or an acknowledged literary genius somehow foretelling the manner of their own death, creative people frequently seem to act as seismographs for life-quakes ahead.”
