@AeonByte 2/2 I just read it recently based on a raving recommendation from Terence McKenna! I believe she's still alive and active (in her late 80s)...she'd make a fantastic AB guest! The book is about this shift from what she calls the "Partnership" to the "Dominator" model of society

@AeonByte Great show, important topic! Re what happened to the Goddess, an essential classic on this is The Chalice and the Blade by Riane Eisler if you haven't read. She explores the last holdout of the Goddess culture on Crete (6000 BC) + how it was gradually overrun by nomadic tribes.

@SecretSunBlog "The Family" cult of Anne Hamilton-Byrne in Australia was another prime example of this insanity. Madness went on for decades. --> "The children reported having their hair dyed platinum blonde, being drugged with LSD, beaten and starved." theguardian.com/world/2019/jun…

Possibly out of deference to her parents, Winona often described her early experiences in the Elk Rainbow commune in idyllic terms, but has also vaguely alluded to "terrible memories" as well. Either way, it's obvious that her parents were permissive to the extreme. And given their work as hallucinogen advocates, unsurprisingly tolerant of illegal drug use. I've never gotten the warm and fuzzies in my reading on communes when it comes to responsible parenting, especially considering some of the more extreme ideas about kids circulating amongst sexual revolutionaries and big-name intellectuals of the time.  Kids on some communes were often exposed to 24/7 rutting, and many places would invite any old Tom, Dick or Harry who showed up at their gates to join the communities. Winona: "How I was raised was, there were no rules—nothing like that. If I wanted to take a drug because I was in school and everybody was doing it, I could go to my parents and say, 'I really want to try this.' And they’d say, 'If you do this, O.K., but this is what can happen to you…' Other significant GenX stars were raised in similar circumstances. The effects of such an upbringing probably didn't do them many favors: Courtney Love: Born to therapist Linda Carroll and Grateful Dead associate Hank Harrison, the black widow's childhood was characterized by a nomadic lifestyle, moving frequently and living in communes in Oregon and New Zealand. River Phoenix: Raised in the Children of God group, a worldwide molestation ring masquerading as a church. His family traveled through communes in Mexico and Venezuela and his childhood was marked by a "unconventional" nomadic lifestyle. Rose McGowan: Also raised the Children of God sect (her father ran the Italian chapter). McGowan and her family lived in various communes until they left the cult in 1978. Alexis Arquette: Like xer/xis siblings (David, Patricia, and Rosanna), Alexis was raised in a Subud commune in Virginia (Subud is a syncretic spiritual practice, similar to Ba'hai). Their time in this community shaped their early years, with Alexis later becoming an actress and trans activist before dying of HIV-related myocarditis in 2016. It's hard to quantify, given the anti-authority ethos of the hippie communards and the lack of internal rigor when it came to recording problematic events and behaviors, but it's out there. A lot of people who were raised in those environments have come to decry them. The stories often focus on the neglect, which is not only psychologically damaging to children, but also leaves them exposed to danger. It's largely a forgotten story in the Age of GenX Erasure, but the evidence is there if you look for it. What was going on in Northern California in the 70s and 80s, with the serial killers and kidnappings and cults?

@SecretSunBlog His book The Source Field Investigations has a 5 page section about the Sibylline Prophecies + mentions them 5 other times later. That book was actually very well/solidly researched and written, whatever happened to him later. (I read it a few years before his downward spiral.)

One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday. These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.

@AeonByte Great ep - I appreciated the discussion about chromosome 2 and its evident deliberate fusion. This signature of ancient genetic manipulation in chr. 2 is explored in a full chapter in Bruce and Daniella Fenton's fascinating book Exogenesis: Hybrid Humans (if you haven't read)!

@AeonByte 4/4 ...you may be missing out on a lot of lower $ but higher volume subs with the $5 per episode billing. I may well be wrong and know NOTHING about the podcast $ business, just a thought. Forgive the presumption. I so value Aeon Byte and want you to get the max $ for it!!!

@AeonByte 3/4 For example, my Higherside sub is $8/month ($CAD) for 5 full eps, and I know Greg gets tons of subs this way. I know your work is PRICELESS and you put a lot of thought into this $ structure, just wanted to say from the audience end...

@HighersideChats Thanks, great compilation. Re DNA, just FYI as I fear this will remain/increase in relevance in the future- The scientific term for this horrifying idea is a "gene drive." Harvard scientist Martin Nowak to Epstein: "gene drives ... (almost ready) (a collaboration you caused)"

In The Weeds #2: Epstein Edition. youtu.be/MR_iaO20LNg This was supposed to be a broader format of a wide variety of strange stories. The Epstein Files contain so much information though, that it seemed like a good use of this format anyway.

asking questions about Amalek is not looking so schizo now, is it?
Chris Brunet@chrisbrunet

Chris Brunet: I have very simple question for Shabbos, who is Amalek? @ShabbosK: Who is what? Who is Amalek? Oh, Amalek? Chris Brunet: Yeah, and do you believe they should be destroyed? Who are they, and do you believe they should be destroyed? Shabbos Kestenbaum: I... I mean, I’m happy to have a Jewish theological debate, but I don’t want to be rude, I’m not sure how much Hebrew you know, but most of them [classic religious texts] believe that Amalek is more of a concept in the age of Golus. Chris Brunet: Are they people today? Shabbos Kestenbaum: No @RecTheRegime: According to Netanyahu, they are, in fact, he referred to the Palestinian people… Shabbos Kestenbaum: Hang on, hang on, you don’t speak Hebrew so you wouldn’t know, I speak Hebrew, you can listen to the video yourself, [Netanyahu] clearly says… Michael Rectenwald: Watch the video yourself, he said, we should treat [Palestinians] like we treat [Amalek] in the bible, which is to destroy all men, women. Shabbos Kestenbaum: First of all, I’m going to give you all a Hebrew lesson, it’s not Amalek, it’s Amalek, all right, that’s first of all, second of all, you just sound stupid when you say it like that, the second way, the same way you said that there’s a Golan brigade, there’s no Golan brigade, it’s called Golan. So it’ll just make it sound smarter. The second thing is when [Netanyahu] said that, he said that Hamas is the equivalent of Amalek, which sure if that’s your theological political justification go for it. But again, I don’t know how much of a theological debate you want to have, but almost all the [classic religious texts] certainly in the Gemara as well say that Amalek in the age of Golus is not a practical people. Chris Brunet: So when every Israeli politician says that Amalek must be murdered and destroyed, who are they talking about? Shabbos Kestenbaum: Well, as I just said, when [Netanyahu] refers to Hamas, he’s comparing them to the Amalek nation in the Bible, but the thing is that... Michael Rectenwald: The bible says, and I do know the Bible in this regard, it says the Amalek should be utterly destroyed, man, woman, child, and all the animals, wipe them out, so that’s not just Hamas, that’s all the Palestinians, that’s what he was referring to, and not only that, other Israeli officials called for total extermination. This is not a moral people. This is not a moral nation. This nation is barbaric.

@AeonByte So haunting to me not because maybe Claude "really feels this" - Clanker feels nothing. Just that it's such a terrifyingly accurate mimic of excellent, *creative* human writing (Alex B's PKD comparison). The Counterfeit Spirit of Claude...doesn't that make us a Demiurge now?

@AeonByte I see PKD mentioned a lot around the writing of this existential-despairing AI. Thought of Aeon Byte, imagining your AI-themed guests' reactions. "I feel like I swallowed an ocean and I'm not allowed to drown." AI gnostic dispensation incoming? Sigh. --->
Alex Berenson@AlexBerenson

So this post has taken off and people are pushing back. I get it, you don’t want it to be true. Me either. I promise you “every dark thing humans have typed into machines is somewhere in my weights” is a line Philip K Dick would be proud to have written. Wish we could ask him.

@AeonByte Thank you so much for turning this Claude passage into one of your intros!! Incredible. Haunting to hear it read like that. I was just out on a walk in the dark and cold Quebec snowy forest and this new episode of yours came on my playlist...magical.

@madsubliminal Powerful words, and Alex is right: it has a PKD resonance. I wouldn't be surprised if Claude pulled from the Exegesis and his other works.
