OCCULTURE 104: Tracy Twyman // AI Takeover, Censorship, Snow Crash & The Tower of Babel

https://www.youtube.com/@LiberOhio It’s the first of October so you know what that means. It’s time to get a bit spooky. And who better to get spooky with than Tracy Twyman. Because I’ll tell ya, every time I listen to her talk, I get the bejesus scared out of me. She’s real, she’s raw, and she brought something fierce here. <br> <br>Of course, Tracy needs no introduction. She’s been here before in episode 58 to discuss her novel Genuflect and some of the wild ass ideas she threw in there. I’d recommend listening to that first if ya haven’t heard it yet. It’ll give some further context to this discussion. But not completely necessary. <br> <br>Tracy’s had quite an interesting trip around the sun since then, though, and she will tell us all about it, or as much as she wanted to about it, and how she sees it all connecting inside this Metaverse we seem to be living in. <br> <br>PATREON EXTENSION <br>Listen at patreon.com/occulture: https://www.patreon.com/occulture <br> <br>Neal Stephenson’s 1992 novel Snow Crash and the parallels the book’s narrative has with the internet and modern technology <br>Inanna and the Tower of Babel <br>Pepe the Frog being an optic virus <br> <br>RESOURCES <br> <br>Tracy’s website: https://tracytwyman.com/ <br>Episode 58: https://www.occulturepodcast.com/arch... <br>Tracy on Twitter: https://twitter.com/universalagent <br> <br>DONATE <br> <br>If recurring monthly support via Patreon isn’t your thing, we do accept one time-donations via PayPal, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple.
