Description
Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States yesterday, proving the long-awaited QAnon prophecy false. It’s the perfect time to talk about where mystical or deceptive knowledge comes from, how it works, and what happens when it fails. We may never know who Q was, but we can take a close look at a core feature of conspirituality technique: the transmission of secret knowledge. Welcome to our channeling episode.Today we discuss three Q-adjacent channellers: JZ Knight, Lorie Ladd, Elizabeth April, and also Paul Selig. What do they say they’re doing? What does it sound like? And where can we go to figure it out? Derek looks at consciousness studies through the lens of Rodolfo Llinas, Stanislas Dehaene, Michael Gazzaniga, and other renowned researchers. Julian reviews the philosophical arguments of Daniel Dennett and Susan Blackmore. Matthew plays angel’s advocate and interviews Professor Susannah Crockford about her anthropological fieldwork amongst the New Agers and channelers of Sedona. TL;DR: “There’s never a single answer for anything.”In the Ticker we look at a tragic anti-vax related father-son murder-suicide in California, anti-vax groups grifting PPP money from the feds, and the Anons, exiled even from Parler, suffering from the collapse of their dream of a Great Awakening. 03:28 The Ticker27:37 The Jab32:58 Conscious Consideration1:02:47: Seance Science1:45:07: Interview with Susannah CrockfordAll music by EarthRise SoundSystemSupport Conspirituality on PatreonShow NotesFather-son murder-suicide over anti-vax stressThe Trump administration bailed out prominent anti-vaccine groups during a pandemicScientists Investigate Spiritualist Mediums: Why Some People Report “Hearing the Dead”Hydroxy-pusher Simone Gold arrested for part in Capitol SiegeQAnon will be scrutinized by National Intel AgenciesParler refugees prepped for DoomsdayQAnon implodes onlineQAnon admins nuke then restore threadsQAnauguration meltdownArgentino and Amarasingam on QAnon prophecies failingKevin Roose’s excellent profile of QAnon “meme queen”More from QAnon CasualtiesJZ Knight chann
