thanks for tuning in dude. in terms of meditation styles vedic is about as specific as you can be. it refers to the principle set out by patanjali in the yoga sutras, vivekananda in raja yoga, shankara in the crest jewel of enlightenment that the mind is cleared. by which measure the self...

third and final of these

i like ariel pink - love the guy - but he was effectively "shelved" after pom pom didn't break him and he went for grimes https://pitchfork.com/news/57467-ariel-pink-calls-grimes-stupid-and-retarded/ none of the trendy press really touched him after that.

my hunch is that it was suicide. he lost his brother a long time back but he also lost his son in 2017. that's a lot of heartbreak for a sensitive soul to bear. pure speculation. i was thinking that maybe the widow couldn't cope with the situation and finally someone said - sis we have to...

something i found very interesting (ie confirmed all my suspicions) was that janet found that there were addicts of hypnosis - as severe as addicts of morphinism he claimed. puts you into that bliss realm.

great old thread :cool:

the central argument in "culture of narcissism" was that individuals in the seventies had become too "selfish" the exact same line that adam curtis takes in the century of the self - also garbage. he posits that previous generations only lived for their forebears and children - and here was a...

i do explain in the book, no? lasch doesn't grasp even the rudiments of what he tries to criticize - therapy, eastern philosophy. simply doesn't understand it and more disgracefully did no research at all. it's an embarrassment. he tries to pull together some correction in the postscripts of...

Can't think of a single nice thing to say about Lasch.

everyone interviewed for the book (apart from germaine greer who didn't volunteer an opinion) said how great they thought psychedelics were. and i kept those statements in every time. there is an element of me trying to strike a balance - as well my natural inclination to be wary of overstating...

The Holy Mountain. Fun, obviously, but extremely juvenile and inane.
