Assembly of Silence

The living word vs. the iron prison. Competitive classical poetry in hell. Glitches in the Matrix opening glimpses into systemic corruption. Crypto anarchism preventing...or promoting totalitarianism? Virtue attained by removing slavishness. Stuff like that - plus an intro featuring a profound Taoist text.

If you don’t know Ken Wheeler - he’s a translator of ancient Greek, Sanskrit and Pali texts, tatted from head to toe and author of “Uncovering the Missing Secrets of Magnetism”. Wheeler is an iconoclastic figure within philosophical, metaphysical, scholarly and scientific circles who now appears to be spending most of his time making YouTube videos (on his Theoria Apophasis channel) about metaphysics, electromagnetism and camera equipment. He also likes to crack the kinds of jokes one might expect from a 6th grader. Is he for real? Noah and Cahlen discuss the man and some of the unexamined implications of his ideas. The Trigrams are briefly discussed in this episode so here is Noah’s Trigram YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8j2QsBqUb7ylMAnjUCS_ow and a paper on the subject: https://medium.com/@taijireality/consciousness-and-time-part-1-24c2f6e11b62 ASRH Contact/Support: silentassembly@protonmail.com https://www.patreon.com/taijireality BTC: 3ArEkk6xAZia13gmtJzbmEMW1haHVUPCfz ETH: 0x56073462949bA7EFB21dFB562067b4628685436C PayPal: t a i j i r e a l i t y atsign geemaildotkom ASRH theme music “Huddled” by Peck Slip: https://peckslip.bandcamp.com

A train of thought about our world’s pervading sense of crises, the true meaning of good and evil, the law of unintended consequences, the importance of playing the game to the very end and the power of unexpected love - with loads of commentary ex post facto. Also - a brief clip from a forthcoming episode with Cahlen included as a bonus at the end. Happy New Year to All ASRH Listeners! Hopefully 2020 will be better than any of us might reasonably expect.
