Did, for some reason it was showing up in notis even though it's unlisted, but I've set it back to normal.

Just finished this and plan to start part 2, so forgive me if you address this there (I didn't think so considering you seemed to be wanting to go in a political direction), but why the disinterest in being? Whatever the case, I'd like you to reconsider. I'm saying this as potential directions for future videos (as well as a personal interest of mine as of late), but why not move in an aesthetic direction in conjunction with being (or being qua poetry). I believe there's emancipatory potential within art (specifically poetry and music - or rap/hip-hop when these two forms are synthesized) that allow us to interact with the machine god on its own turf (that of myth). I recently stumbled in and out of a twitter space in which the title was "Philosophy speaks being, while poetry speaks spirit" (or something like that). While I wasn't able to hear anything the host was saying due to a shitty mic, that title nonetheless got me turned onto the interaction of poetry with spirits/myths that's paralleled your interest in the machine god. One of my takeaways from the video was that I'll be reading more of Heidegger's works on aesthetics to see if he thinks similarly.
