I contracted schizophrenia from a hypodermic tuning fork. To sign in, verify your 8-bit bones with the electron gun provided.

Just started a rewatch of Twin Peaks this week. Perfect timing

I've been thinking about feedback loops in what I guess is a similar sense to your tape recording cosmology. Would love for you to talk about feedback if you ever do that episode

when I worked on an assertive community treatment team that saw some of the worst cases of psychotic mental illness in our state I always had a suspicion that schizophrenia was really two diseases on a spectrum that overlap and respond to the same medication. patients that had more of the genetic type would always have more bipolar like symptoms. The patients that had more of a traumatic onset would have more PTSD like symptoms and more of the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. and they would have an origin myth about why they got sick. EG. The person raped me and put me in a closet so ghosts got in my body, they use the wrong blood at the hospital so now I hear voices. complex PTSD bipolar disorder and schizophrenia all share symptoms quite a bit. I think it's a spectrum like you can have 20% of the genes and 80% of the trauma or 1% of the genes in 99% of the trauma. It just whatever gets you over the line but that we're treating that condition fundamentally wrong. academic medicine and healthcare is pretty hostile to talking about schizophrenia at all let alone redrawing the conception that we have of it for a lot of market realities. I basically left because I heard doctors tell me that I could reduce symptoms by talking but that I should stop talking because we could just drug people.

“I carried you” said booming frightening voice in muh mind. What say you? Pompadours, leather, and walking dreams…Lay down in the purple sky and melt into the earth…

I love all the esoteric knowledge about electronics in addition to the related content. It reminds me of a video where Ritchie Faulkner of Judas Priest said he did an Instagram and someone asked what the hiss was and he’s like uhhh that’s an amp. But then again you can get rid of that if you get a sweet noise gate like the Zuul or the Key and the Gate and 4 cable method it so the trigger is direct from the guitar but the gate is after the effects loop send. Then you get the sound of silence but the nevermore cover of it because it has to be brootal.

I’m in the middle of the episode, I feel like I have to comment because I am a mystic, which is to say I am the Self and know it. There is not “God and creation,” there is only God. Ice is a state of water, just as what people perceive as “creation” is a state of God’s being. Dreams show us that the apparent appearance of a multiplicity of forms need not mean a multiplicity of beings. What are the set of conditions that beget an apparent multiplicity of forms while maintaining a nondual being, and are those conditions satisfied right now as you read this? If you agree with the statement “I have a body,” then you have admitted 'I' and 'body' are not synonymous. You (the Self) are having a human experience. All experiences are your experiences. Human beings do not have experiences, consciousness (the Self) has human experiences. The Artist does not acquire a canvas outside of his own being to create, you transformed your being into a 'state' of amnesia and apparent multiplicity. What’s happening in Gaza is God’s suffering, he is not watching from above. I have more to write, there may be a part 2.

Radio Sarkophagoi baby you were comin in fine 🎵

There is something both beautiful and disconcerting about your brilliant description of radio as a means to translate spatial frequencies into sense perceptions. It opens up to us so much of reality on new terms of experience, and it also feels as if it risks (and maybe inevitably carries out) a capture of and forcing onto our terms that which is beyond us and doesn't need to be our business. Independently of this I was reading a paper this afternoon about chartalism that recalled writing as originally a means of state record keeping, and specifically of a means of the institutional recording of debts owed to the rulers. And all of a sudden I am thinking of writing as playing a similar role for humans as radios for the universe. One that can be beautiful (all the wonder that needs to be put to writing to actually escape the messy froth of consciousness) or terrifying (recording as a control mechanism). I don't really know what point I'm trying to make but I can't begin to say how much I appreciated this episode. Hope you continue to do better.

That was such a great episode back in 2018 when you did a Q&A with Quinton in LA. I remember you talking a lot about gnosticism, especially in reference to Eraserhead. I actually have the MP3 saved on my phone from the ShoutEngine days. I would really love to hear you do a deep analysis of Eraserhead, because a lot of young people are already writing that one off as pseud bullshit and someone needs to set the record straight but I am not the one to do it unfortunately

From long exposure I've committed to believing that David Lynch is exactly as he presents - in no small part because what exactly that person is is so singular and multi-faceted, in ways that would be inconceivable as a "bit", regardless of how long he, say, practiced it. Yeah he's got that big American "big sky country" swagger, that specifically a-certain-part-of-Montana vocal inflection, he was once an Eagle Scout, blah blah blah. But he's also so profoundly odd - but in a way where it's clear he's totally aware of his quirks and oddities, and comfortable with it all. Something about this bts vid from The Return also cinched it for me; that not only are incredibly strange and disturbing and violent things just another day at the office for him, he has an incredible skill at conveying his ideas to his cast and crew: https://youtu.be/im07r-0IH_s?si=PaByINKkJi-EyxV_

*** “Nobody escapes the pyramid” rough quote. What about Siddhartha? I could be way off here, but is that not the main idea of enlightenment via meditation? Perhaps nobody “intellectualizes” their way out of the pyramid would be a better way of putting it?

Attuning my senses to the vibes like an old radio to radiation …..

The lengths people went to to justify the murder of Trevon Martin really brought it home for me that there are soooo many people willing to defend and justify murdering children 😳 we know have basically daily school shootings and on the ground HD footage of children in gaza being horrendously murdered. The people who plea think of the innocent children do not understand that somewhere the western (US) world has shifted from not carrying about black and brown children to being perfectly fine with their own children going to schools and concerts and shopping centers etc where they can just get shot for no reason. So pleading for the sake of 'othered' children when the ppl you're pleading to don't even care about their own....

Nat

thank you for diving into lynch, i’ve been eager to hear your thoughts on him. i hope your health continues to improve! <3

The song the radio station is playing is "My Prayer" by The Platters. The Woodsman removes the turntable arm; it's his monologue that puts everyone to sleep, including Sarah Palmer. His monologue continues as the creature goes into her mouth, after which he kills the deejay and disappears into the night. What we hear over the credits is the scratching of the turntable needle - like what happens when you don't lift the needle after a record is through playing. What's most curious about that sequence is what we hear after we lose sight of the Woodsman but before we cut to credits: I'm pretty sure it's horses whinnying, far in the distance. Horses - a white horse, a pale horse, etc - are significant to Sarah Palmer; if I'm remembering my FIRE WALK WITH ME chronology correctly, she hallucinates a white horse in her bedroom when Leland drugs her so he can murder their daughter without interference. Of course the Woodsman's litany mentions a horse... EDIT & REPOST: Patreon UI really doesn't like it when you go back into comments to fix typos, ffs

Michael have you read The Zhuangzi? Ch.2 has a lot to say about real/unreal stuff and the "center of the room" you're talking about, the Empty Axis of the Lathe of Heaven I can send PDF

I work in a library, so I by no means have actual credentials or serious training on how to deal with the mentally ill, but end up having to wrangle schizophrenic street people on a daily basis. I just wanted to say that it seems to me that the weirdly condescending vibe that a lot of these people seem to have tracks with your descriptions. There's this one guy who, even though we have never asked him to talk about this, acts exasperated that he has to keep explaining that people back in his home country have created an AI system that can move through light frequencies designed to spy on what he does in this country. And the AI is set to activate whenever he uses certain identifying information, which is why he had to destroy his library cards, but it is very, very important that we allow him to keep using all the library services for his research anyway and without recovering his card number or ID. I could imagine what he would sound like if he were some kind of old-timey German legal official instead of an African man who sleeps on the street and wears the same filthy coat every day.

Old head radio collectors online talk about the sound of analogue radio tuning, and how much they prefer it to DSP tuners. Analogue tuning allows you to sift through a constant stream of radio static that wanes as you hone in on a signal.

You keep calling Ned Beatty “Warren Beatty.” 😅

I’m not trying to toot my own horn here but on one of the socials I made a thread wherein Trump is explaining various events in Episode 8 and at one point he goes on a tangent about Gordon Cole and ends by talking about how he (Trump) ate the best pies but you can’t get cherry pie anymore because “They took it away.”

Great work recovering the cosmic weirdness of early radio. Its so interesting to see how new media technologies are always first received as almost mystical or occult portals into new ontological planes. I think old radios have managed to retain more of that spectral charge than any other media (save maybe analog photography and film). Also, I’ve always thought there’s a lot of the high weirdness of terrestrial radio in the DNA of this show.

The Derrida stuff about the centre has been in my mind the past week because of the writings of Nicolas of Cusa, de Ludo Globi. Could not have come at a more significant moment for me, connections indeed!

Looks like all the pre-patreon eps have been yanked off the internet?

Will Hinchman

being a weird crossover of Lynch Fan, Electrical Engineer, and Ham Radio operator is it any wonder I often find myself using older HF radios to just listen to the atmosphere? Pro Tip: you can, with any off the shelf analog tuning AM Radio, track lighting strikes during a storm. Tune to a quiet dead channel, and listen for a burst of static. Count the seconds until you hear the thunder, multiply by 1100, and you have a rough estimate of how far away, in feet, the lighting strike was from you. Do that a few times and watch the direction the clouds are moving and bam, rudimentary lighting plot.

i just had to pause and write down “genocide is the attempt to distill murder into rationalism” excellent quote 🫡

Relistening to these now that ive finished the return. Coke also doesn’t effect me but I’m very sensitive to amphetamines and they were a major contributor to big time psychotic breaks of mine. You’re on the money with your description of psychotic breaks, and lynch’s rendering of psychological states extremely accurately. One of the major difficulties is being someone with an uncommon ability to have artistic/philosophical insight perfectly dovetails with the feeling that you have caught on to something that others can’t see, because that’s an accurate life experience in many other contexts. So in a way, being insightful and correct much of the time makes it much harder to escape.
