“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.
