In this week's episode, occultist John Michael Greer joins us to talk about his own experience in Druidry and his views on spirituality in modern times. In addition, we discuss his thought-provoking perspective on the catabolism that human civilization is bound to if it can't help it, and what he appropriately calls "the myth of progress" that many seem to worship in place of a deity. He's one of few people out there with a truly original, macroscopic view on world history and the source of the world's many spiritual and existential ails. JMG offers a lot of interesting insights that I think are important to anyone trying to rationalize the fallen world that we are in, and maybe how we can be realistically optimistic about the future.

This week's episode, Tyrone joins me to speak on the way forward for the Republican Party, and the American conservative movement in general, how there are good signs for the future of an American traditionalist movement, Texan politics/culture/mass immigration, and the 2024 Presidential Election.

Explaining the hottest topic, the Supply Chain issue, which isn't hot, and really doesn't have much to do with the supply chain.

The myth of the Faustian "Becoming" has reached its telos, and a transition to another form of being has gradually begun.

In this video I analyze how the out-of-touch elites have little-to-no rhetorical, cultural, or even political power over the masses. Their entire perceived power is through their little pageants where they pretend to have some super special, clandestine knowledge, when really, all they're doing is roleplaying as technocratic tyrants over the entire world. They are fickle, they are disliked, and they will never get anywhere.

A reading of one of my blogposts. I explain how the system is prone to low interest rates and low growth, and how this cannot change - especially if the government tries to intervene.

Everyone is freaking out about Reverse Repo. Some people don't know what it is, and most definitely should. Here I explain all this and why this will probably be the source of the next financial crisis.

I feel like the Lord really wanted me to make this, so hopefully I served y'all and Him well enough.

Last time I had Mike on it was a lot more focused on his experience as a respiratory therapist during the coof outbreak. Now, we thought we would do a show where we just talk about everything from the mandates to our totalitarianizing government. There's a lot that must be talked about, and that's what we try to unpack here. Just defer to the experts.
