Get ready for one of the most in depth discussions of Elden Ring you've ever heard. I have almost four hours recorded with a roundtable of friends. We do a very deep dive on the lore, and frame the story as a Grail Myth, incorporating the "grail cycle" and Joseph Campbell.
This episode was originally recorded as a twitter space on the weekend Elden Ring won Game of the Year in 2022, and I'm uploading it now because Tears of the Kingdom Just released. Stay tuned for a Legend of Zelda episode, with many of the same guests, in the next several weeks, where we will return to the grail legend and ..read more

Special episode rushed to release due to the SVB collapse. This episode was recorded on March 7th, three days before there was a run on SVB and the current unfolding crisis. My guest Erin predicts that as Pluto moves out of Capricorn and into Aquarius, there will be the collapse and death of the old order and a rebirth into a new one as we transition firmly into the age of aquarious. Are we watching the death of our monetary system and the rise of bitcoin? It's hard to say this early, but here we discuss how consciousness structures and civilizational paradigms shifts follow astrological event ..read more

Today I introduce two impressive thinkers and speakers who share their in depth, comprehensive knowledge on Oswald Spengler, one of the most important memory-holed writers of the 20th century.
Here we discuss some recently translated work of Spenglers, as well as his relationship to the politics and society of Germany between the wars. This is only one segment of an ongoing conversation about Spengler, but some of them take place only on twitter spaces so you'll have to follow @thuleanrevenant, Spergler @spergleracolyte, and Monopthalmus @AMonopthalmos to hear more!

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 couldn’t think of the name

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 enjoyer of art in the digital age.
