Tek-Gnostics on Recluse's "The Farm" podcast
My esteemed colleague and fellow investigator of the Fortean Fringe, the mighty Recluse... was gracious enough to recently invite me on his podcast: The Farm. As you know, Recluse is the proprietor of the great para-political Weblog: VISUP. Over the years, VISUP has been an invaluable resource for all things Fortean. What I have always admired about Recluse, has been the due diligence he brings to every article he publishes. The exhaustive, well-documented and footnoted research that Recluse performs, places his work a cut-above most other para-political documentarians.
Recluse and I have bantered back and forth over a myriad of topics over the last few years, often cross-referencing each other’s posts. Of note was his work entitled: The Dark Enlightenment and More Mellon Madness, where Recluse took a deep dive into the Mellon Family and the suspicious death of heir Mathew Mellon, during an ayahuasca retreat in Cancun, Mexico.
As Mathew Mellon was also known as an early Bitcoin Whale, the strange tail turned a few obscure corners into the realms of cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligences. In his post, Recluse referenced a post I did, titled: Singularity Unchained – Artificial Intelligence & Crypto-Currency. Needless to say… the ensuing tales get stranger and stranger.
Inspired by Recluse’s work, I recently posted a follow-up on all the Dark Enlightenment craziness, titled: Rise of the Nerds - Eschatological Singularity. It goes into the nefarious denizen of the far right, "Mencius Moldbug" and the whole appropriated Cthulhu mythology of the so-called Dark Enlightenment.

This, dear readers, is the jumping off point for our conversation on The Farm. Other covered topics include my recently completed Tek-Gnostics Trilogy, as well as a wide range of esoteric musings, including…
The 60’s counterculture, Timothy Leary and his Eight Circuit Model of Consciousness... Sandoz, LSD and ESP… the Psychedelic Apocalypse and entheogenic compounds… AI, singularity, transhumanism... the Rockefellers, MK-ULTRA... the Dead Sea Scrolls and Neo-Gnosticism, our Brave Noö World, Conspiracy Culture Internationale, and the Mandela effect!
Yeah, we covered some ground, I can tell you!
Please enjoy! - J ♥

Mark Fisher, a founder member of the CCRU, argued that mental conditions are today seen as intrinsic properties of the individual while in the past they were more often seen as political issues. Things were best solved not by pills but by correcting the individual's relation to the world. Although, with his last unfinished work, he was convinced to describe his cure as being "acid communism" despite having had no personal interest in psychedelics. There was some point being made about the supposed cultural potency of boomer/hippy political movements.
Given that the members of the CCRU took massive amounts of Methamphetamine, their logic may be somewhat suspect.
