   The Food You Trust Isn’t What You Think | Surveillance & the Age of Deception w/ Kaiva Rose

   What happens when the things we’re told to trust no longer match what’s actually underneath? Kaiva and I start with the recent UC Davis avocado oil study and what researchers found in products from brands like Siete, Primal Kitchen, and Chosen Foods. From there, the conversation opens into something much bigger: Flock cameras, surveillance, the loss of privacy, corporate power, AI, deepfakes, and the increasingly difficult question of knowing what is actually real. At times it feels like we’re living inside the kind of world Philip K. Dick was writing about decades ago, where the image and the reality beneath it become harder and harder to separate. From the food we eat to the cameras watching our streets, how much of what is being sold to us is actually what it claims to be? This is a conversation about deception, discernment, privacy, technology, and learning how to see through the representations of reality we’re surrounded by every day. The map is not the territory.

   Young Aleister Crowley and the Magicians' Revolt: A Conversation w/ Lon Milo DuQuette

   Lon Milo DuQuette is a scholar, author, magician, and one of the most authoritative voices on the work of Aleister Crowley, Thelema, and the Thoth Tarot. His books include Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot, My Life with the Spirits, The Magick of Aleister Crowley, and his newest work: Young Aleister Crowley and the Magician's Revolt, a novel. In this conversation we get into what Crowley was actually after, why his lust for self-realization is not the same thing as rebellion, and what it means to walk into the Golden Dawn revolt as a young initiate with no idea what you have stepped into. We talk about Yeats, MacGregor Mathers, and the real historical figures Lon has fictionalized into a cinematic story that has been 25 years in the making. We also get into what Thelema actually asks of a solo practitioner, why initiatory oaths are made to yourself and no one else, and the one line from the Book of the Law that Lon says contains an entire religion on its own.

   Amazon & Anthropic Are Destroying Books to Feed AI | Who Controls Knowledge? w/ Kaiva Rose

   Amazon is buying physical books, cutting off their bindings, scanning them for AI training, and destroying the originals. Court documents have also revealed Anthropic’s Project Panama, an effort internally described as wanting to “destructively scan all the books in the world.” But what happens when the physical book disappears and its digital representation becomes what future generations encounter? Tonight we go from Amazon and Anthropic into the Library of Alexandria, Fahrenheit 451, Orwell’s 1984, General Semantics and “the map is not the territory,” hermeneutics, historical memory, and the growing distance between actually reading a text and asking AI what that text means. Are we building the greatest library humanity has ever created, or something that may eventually replace our need to enter the library at all? Welcome to Magus in the Media.
