Dispatches from Post-Reality

Hello Dear Listener! In this episode Josh and Dale once again stray from the esoteric path to talk about some of the technological underpinnings of science fiction. That’s right, we are talking all things LASERs and directed energy. Will this be an informative episode, or will it be more nonsense from your favorite pseudointellectuals? Only one way to find out.

Short one this week, folks as we're both sort of in-between vacations over here. Still, there's bit of banter, and a couple of articles in here. Remember, if you like what we do and would like to help out start by telling everyone you know about the podcast; go yell it from a mountain, if ye will. Also, time is money (according to some) and we just gave you some of ours; if you'd like to give a bi...

Despite our best efforts we have yet to determine what other dimensions look like. Are they merely mathematical thought experiments designed to make modern physics work? Or are they actually fully developed universes where parallel versions of ourselves go to work at slightly different jobs? In this episode Josh and Dale try to wrap their 3D brains around the possibility that our observable realit...

Here we are again with this fortnight's musing, news, and other nonsense.

Once again Dear Listener, Dale has decided to foolishly try and convince everyone he is not a nerd by delving needlessly deep into an obscure nerdy topic. Meanwhile Josh is to tired and sick to stop him and is forced to listen to this whole mess. That's right, for this episode we will be talking about the Chaotic TCG, a game you've never heard about. Unless you are Canadian or Danish or something....

Do you enjoy watching disaster unfold? Well, grab your novelty Dispatches popcorn bucket (n0w with more lithium in the battery), sit back, and enjoy as we carry you though this one. Here's just a bit of what we're talking about this week: Dale has to replace his AC because of Josh reading Zoltar cards. America is going to hold the first Death Race, probably. All the AI slop you never thought you w...

Language is pretty cool, if you think about it. We (humans?) have built it up as a tool from simple monosyllabic grunts into elaborate systems of communication with double meanings, deep meanings, and hidden meanings. The question is, is it inevitable that we all end up speaking one language in the end? Or is the likely outcome something both more simple and more complex, and we end up speaking un...

As demanded by literally no one, Dale has picked up the gauntlet thrown down by Josh, and the boys debate the merits of "artificial intelligence." Is it the great savior of human potential and productivity that Big Tech wants us to believe, or is it just another novelty without a use case? Josh and Dale discuss this and more in this episode. However, the most important question is how realistic ca...

What is a dream? A miserable little pile of liminal spaces. Or is it? Throughout human history we have been trying to decipher our dreams and determine if they truly are a different reality that can only be entered once our concious waking mind takes a backseat. In this episode Josh and Dale take a meandering trip to the subconscious shopping destination that is Mall World. So grab yourself an eth...

What is a meme? A meme is just an image that encapsulates a known story about humanity. It can be a scene from a ubiquitious TV show, or a comic strip of a dog sitting on a dumpster surrounded by fire. It can be the image of the Sun shining it’s light on all of creation so that all that is hidden can be revealed. In many ways the history of Tarot is just one part of the history of memes; it’s just...

So join Dale has he attempts to use his project management skills, and Josh as he does whatever the opposite of that is, to get through another "season" of the podcast.
