We’ve lived too long inside the performance — mistaking simulation for life, and spectacle for truth. In this episode, George Monty explores what it means to emerge from the machine of distraction, to see reality again with unmediated eyes.
Drawing on the ideas of Guy Debord, Marshall McLuhan, and spiritual traditions from East and West, this episode investigates how to dissolve the trance of digital culture and rediscover what it means to be fully alive.

Speaker 1 (13s): There you are. They looking for you? Come in. I got to show you something. Are you ready to see some of the blow your mind right now? But you got to believe a little bit. If you're like me, you're probably humble and poor, but you know what? That's the precondition for Exxon station. Take my hand.
Speaker 0 (35s):
Speaker 1 (43s): One cannot abstractly contrast the Spectacle to actual social activity, such a division is itself divided to Spectacle which inverts the real is. In fact, produced lived reality is materially invaded by the contemplation of the Spectacle while simultaneously absorbing the spectacular order giving It positive cohesiveness. I like to think that in the beginning there was the word, the word was made flesh.
And in this time of digitization, the flesh is being made into the word. Objective reality is present on both sides to every notion fixed to this way has no other basis than its passage into the opposite.
Speaker 0 (1m 36s): So you are not a coverup artist and you are a liar, not a snitch
Speaker 1 (1m 42s): Reality rises up within the spectrum. And the spectacle is real. This reciprocal alienation is the essence and the support of the existing society
Speaker 0 (1m 54s): Time evolves. And that comes to a place where it renews again, because there was the first day of purification time. Then there was a renewal time. We are getting very close to this time
Speaker 1 (2m 18s): In a world, which really is topsy turvy. The truth is, but a moment of the false, the concept of Spectacle unifies and explains a great diversity of a parent phenomena. The diversity and the contracts are appearances of a socially organized appearance. The general truth of which must itself be recognized considered in its own terms.
The Spectacle is affirmation of appearance, an affirmation of all human life, namely social life as mere appearance. What the critique, which reaches the true of the Spectacle exposes It as the visible negation of life as a negation of life, which has become visible to describe the Spectacle its formation it's functioned. And the forest has, which tend to dissolve It.
One must artificially distinguish certain and separate elements when analyzing the Spectacle one speaks to some extent, the language of the spectacular itself in the sense that one moves through the methological to terrain of the very society, which expresses itself in the Spectacle. But the spectacle is nothing other than a sense of the total practice of a social economic formation.
Speaker 0 (3m 56s): We were told we would see a marathon come in and go in a sense, America is dying from within because they feel that the instructions on how to live on earth
