13. Astral
Description
Astral joins me for episode 12 of The Carousel podcast. Creator of the powerful Astral Flight Simulation Substack and pod, Astral plays the role of dissident impresario: chronicler, connector, true believer. If BAP is Kurtz, Astral is The Harlequin.
Topics include:
* Astral’s unique brand of comparative literary analysis. He creates his own independent academia.
* The course of his ideological transformation from left to right after discovering Curtis Yarvin. How BAP’s vitalism pulled him out of a depression.
* The longhouse and whether the correct term is matriarchy or gynocracy.
* Astral’s fantastic piece THE DIGITAL HORIZON on culture’s gaze and whether there’s any hope for escaping a single global technocracy.
* Woke advertising: why it happens and what it means.
* The state of the dissident movement; whether anons have heart.
* Or do they suffer from what we label The Beautiful Ones problem?
