Episode #151: David Getzin on Prime Symbol

We are joined in-studio by David Getzin, a longtime friend of the show, many of you may remember us reading his emails about good pipe tobacco and constructing a Djed Drill. He was on a cross-country road trip and stopped by to visit us here on the plateau, and once we started talking about ancient mysteries and other similar snakebro topics, we realized, we had to record a podcast with him. So we all climbed into the tangent cube and, amidst copious clouds of fine tobacco smoke and a few glasses of wine, we recorded this episode.

The discussion ranges across many topics, but the main idea David describes is something called the "Prime Symbol" in architectural expression of cultures and civilizations across the ages, how it changes, and what it means for us now in the modern age. We talk about the categorizations of Prime Symbol in past cultures and what they tell us about how those cultures viewed the world around them, and how that may help us understand how to better express a modern Prime Symbol in our own architecture.

You can follow David and his work through his podcast, A History of Architecture, his YouTube channel Living Process, and his website, Living Process, LLC.

Episode #067: The Epic of Gilgamesh

In this episode Kyle gives us a detailed and fantastic rendition of the oldest known written tale, the Epic of Gilgamesh. We discuss the possible meanings and symbolism and hidden truths contained in the story, but mostly, we just sit back and enjoy this most epic and ancient tale of Gilgamesh, King in Uruk.

Episode #055: Retrocausality, CO2, and the Longevity of the Ancients

After a quick mention of the Lavanado in Hawaii being even more terrifying than a Sharknado, we will have been going to eventually then diving into a discussion about retrocausality and its wider implications for how it does previously later affect our future past actions.

Once after we have will be finished that topic, we finally did eventually get our timeline straight by reading an article about the ancient Sumerian Kings List, which leads into a discussion on possible precessional clues and longevity of the gods and space genes.

We finish out the episode discussing the carbon cycle and the fact that so much benefit to the biosphere has been shown to take place by increasing CO2 levels and thus massively increasing the awesomeness of plant life.

Episode #010: The Enuma Elish and The Sphinx Controversy

We dedicate this show to questions, comments, emails, catcalls, and heckling from listeners who just want us to slow down, chill out, and explain some things in detail, because we're always referring to these things but we've never actually explained what they are.

So we try to do that.  Kyle does an excellent job despite constant interruptions from Russ, while Russ does a terrible job despite zero interruptions from Kyle, and in this way we go thru the Sumerian "creation myths", the erosion patterns on the Sphinx enclosure, and the catastrophic end of the recent ice age. Kyle ties all of these things together into a gigantic fucking conspiracy while Russ makes ominous sound effects

Also, bananas are---once again---not discussed.
