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?
