Always a Writer

-
Do I Amuse You?
09/08/2018 Duración: 05minThere's nothing funny about presenting false memories as fact. We are missing, and the Virtual Cloud assistants take over this memetic as your hosts. To live, is to remember, and to know, is to be aware of the lies being fed to you as universal, human, truths!

Elites and Anti-Intellectualism
19/07/2018 Duración: 11minWho gets to claim they are the smartest? Let's take a gander at who we value, and why. Is the blacksmith more important than the professor?

Suicide is Painless
28/06/2018 Duración: 20minDo we own our lives? Or are we required to be alive? We share commentary on the wiles and wherefores of suicide in the modern life. What are we owed? Who controls our want for death? Are we allowed to exit on our own terms?

Pulling Threads
21/06/2018 Duración: 14minDramatic Structure demands a secure warp and woof. When you start tugging at the threads of a story -- "I’ll take this bit here, and stick it into that bog over there, and take this spindellythang and drop it into this bindleboodle, and hope it will all work out in the end" -- you are risking the integrity of the entire script!

Golden Age of Acquiescence
31/05/2018 Duración: 14minWe believe we are living in the Golden Age of Democracy when we are really adrift in the Age of Acquiescence.

Do the Hardest Thing, Not the Dumbest
24/05/2018 Duración: 14minWhy have we programmed our children to take the easiest path? Let's question the reasoning for the separation of aesthetics into "child" and "adult." Why don't we have one, universal, ideal of what is good and right?

Knowing When You're in the Good Old Days

Why I Stopped Doing Q&A
03/05/2018 Duración: 10minQuestions and Answers are never a fine format for knowing. We parlay understanding into the realm of an education being found in the question -- and not the answer. The passing of wisdom is not passive, it must be dynamic to be effective; and parsing a question into an answer is like pressing a box into a circle; it may fit, but it shall not spin.

Turning Down a Life
26/04/2018 Duración: 15minHow many life-changing opportunities are offered in a lifetime? The answer is, "only one that matters." We ask how many of us are able to not only recognize the "once in a lifetime opportunity" -- but then also leap to accept it in total? Some language, NSFW.

Leaving the World
