It's a real fuckin' grim one: MJ, from his newly (re-)privileged position, explains what the afterlife is like, expounds the sweet science of genocide – a product of America Industries™ – and then, finally, gets back to Gravity's Rainbow.

UPDATE: The brilliant Stan Brakhage film I mentioned, Glaze of Cathexis.

Lemme know if there's anything weird about the audio – upload took forever & had to try it several times

Sound is perfect. Grim episode? More, inspiring. Thanks again.

Apropos of nothing: I have posited that the second coming has already happened, and that we are all now residing in eternal damnation, our overarching torment being the false hope of those who could be saved...

Great episode - and it made me happy to hear you mention Guy Davenport again.

Only just joined and wading my way through the back catalogue after finishing most of the free episodes. Your JFK episodes have me finally reading Libra, which has been on my list for a long time. Your thoughts on GR and Inherent Vice were quite engaging and thought-provoking. I have a simpler question to ask regarding this episode though: what is the music that comes in about 42 minutes in after you got a bit choked up reading that Tom Waits line?

I feel like that Glaze of Cathexis film flew straight over my head, any got a reflection or commentary on it they would be care to share?

Do you have any sources or uhh, even slight leads on the trains for migrants and insane genocidal stuff like that? I'm Mexican American and when I was falling into reactionary thought I did not think much of it but having radicalized to the left in the last two years it makes me increasingly uncomfortable, and it's actually been hypernormalized in a way. If not genocide, it makes me wonder if they're using it as some kind of proving ground for future repressive techniques in the way they perfected torture at places like Colonia Dignidad

Your discussion of Benjamin and then the subsequent discussion of 'prophetic' authors called to mind one of my favorite Benjamin quotes from One-Way Street: “For without exception the great writers perform their combinations in a world that comes after them, just as the Paris streets of Baudelaire’s poems, as well as Dostoevsky’s characters, only existed after 1900.” It's not just that prophetic authors are merely identifying something that they see in the present, but that, in so doing, they are constructing the categories by which we understand the world from then on.
