My Brain Broke in the Heatwave & I Found the Universe's Secret! 🤯 This week on Strange Attractors, I was literally melting (thanks, functional neurological disease!), while Christine was out raving in a trolley tunnel! 🕺

We introduce Terence McKenna's Strange Attractor Theory, questioning what the hell the universe is pulling us toward anyway.

Is time even real? I share my wild theory that it's just our brains organizing chaos, and how "time bending" magic is totally possible (I swear I did my makeup in 15 mins!).

We then discuss the silent influence of misogyny, ableism, and the hidden eugenics in our culture.

Nobody is coming to save us, but don't worry, there's hope! We tackle how to hack your reality tunnel with chaos magic, and why bishops at immigration court are living proof of the strange attractor in action.

Plus, we answer the burning question: How many Goths are left in Philadelphia?! (The answer might surprise you.)

Tune in for mind-bending theories, personal rants, and a peek into the magical (and sometimes messy) ways we navigate reality.

Join us for more cursey words and philosophy next week, when we bring Kabbalah and information theory to the party.

The Psyche's Great Leap Forward (S1E8)This Episode gets deep into the host's personal struggles with chronic illness and the societal pressure to mask pain, then expands into a powerful critique of pervasive disrespect for women and motherhood in American culture.

Through personal anecdotes and synchronistic experiences, the episode explores how ancient concepts of psychosis, sacrifice, and shamanism might illuminate our understanding of consciousness and societal evolution.

Come with us as we explore the recesses of human consciousness to expose modern marketing and institutions as manipulative forces, urging listeners to cultivate personal clarity and reclaim their power amidst a world saturated with external "psychotic messaging."

This episode of Strange Attractors rips open the curtain on the unsettling reality of societal sacrifice, daring to ask: what if our deepest connections are being weaponized, and who truly pays the price for "progress"?

Prepare for a mind-bending journey as we revive Barbara Ehrenreich's provocative Blood Rites, suggesting ancient sacrifices weren't just ritual—they were a desperate response to humanity as prey.

Then, buckle up as this historical lens snaps onto our present, revealing how social reproduction theory exposes the invisible, feminized labor keeping capitalism afloat as a modern-day blood offering. But the rabbit hole goes deeper: are current political policies, from the Georgia Guidestones' chilling population control agenda to the Rockefeller legacy of eugenics, merely the latest iteration of this age-old, insidious practice?

Finally, the episode plunges into the disorienting world of simulacra, where we're sacrificing our well-being for manufactured needs, and offers Deleuze's concept of becoming as a possible escape from these fixed, sacrificial traps. This isn't just a podcast—it's a wake-up call to the hidden costs of our civilization.
