Some interesting "weird news" items
this week, 50,000 year old carved stone heads found in Texas and
Pleistocene Buttflappers used the Distraction Dance on Giant Sloths
when hunting them, for example. Some obligatory ridicule of the
paradigm here as well.
Russ reads an article about the strange "Cicada 3301" superpuzzles
that have appeared online, leading thousands of some of the most
intelligent and knowledgeable people on the planet through a
bewildering crypto-labyrinth where Mayan numerology, Victorian
Gothic poetry, and obscure magical grimoires from the Middle Ages
are just a few of the many things that people are required to have
knowledge of in order to solve the puzzles and acquire the clues
for locating more, until eventually the people at the head of the
game, the ones solving it better and faster than everyone else, are
whisked away into the shadows, never to be heard from again; like
they got hired to be MiB or something.
There is also mention of the similar strange metagame from
KanyeQuest, that leads one toward "Ascension" for an as-yet unknown
goal, that Russ participated in briefly and helped solve a few of
the puzzles and decipher a clue or two.
In the second half of the show, for the first segment we discuss
Episode 045, the interview with Mr. Spriggs about the Missing 411
mystery, and what our developing thoughts are on that whole
topic.
The final segment is spent talking philosophical concepts
concerning the primacy of frequency in the material realm, and how
some of it seems to originate from some other, perpendicular
non-material realm. Kyle describes his thoughts about musical
instruments and how they seem to be in some ways transducers of
emotion into actual physical form.
It's a good show. Enjoy.
