“So, then we went into the pit.”

Welcome to the quantum brain. For this episode, I am joined by Günseli Yalcinkaya, writer and researcher. She has recently published an essay, “The Internet Enters Its Age of Aquarius”, at Spike, where she talks about how quantum principles are reflected in culture today. Following her recent trip to Japan, we met at mine to discuss:

* Ankle bracelet politics

* Paris Hilton’s network state

* Why the multiverse has no "edge"

* What is weird now

* Being mistaken for a theorist

* Self-fictioning and failing

* Being trapped under the slimy glass ceiling of the AI slop

* Quantum oil

* Aura, corrupted by boyfriends

* The smell of the Large Hadron Collider

* Cryptids

* Japan’s everyday UFOs

And, of course, the Bag TSA Check.
