Episode 302: Metaphysical Edging
Very Bad Wizards
What makes something weird? What makes something eerie? David and Tamler wander into Mark Fisher’s The Weird and the Eerie to learn more about these concepts. How does weird art expand our imagination of what’s possible? Why does the feeling of eeriness dissolve when we get an explanation for what we see? What draws us to phenomena that evoke these unsettling feelings?
Plus – DeepSeek has Silicon Valley shitting themselves but how does it really stack up against good old American AI?
