My Vibecamp experience = 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Was a GIFT to make theater for and with brilliant people who get it and me. You are why I’m now tweeting!
SO MUCH gratitude to
@morganecf
and
@sophianegativa
at the
@classics_dept
for inviting me to host the Dating Show to S(h)ave the World!
We are CREATING the genre of Corporate Ritual Theater.
My life finally makes some degree of plausibly coherent sense.
Jodorowsky, watch this space! I want your blessing while in body, Panic theater ur-father!

The writing was an absolute collaboration -
@morganecf
and
@sophianegativa
brought the initial draft and pulled me in, and we improvised over three ~2 hr workshop calls which turned it 180 degrees as a group.
Having not tweeted until this week I’m shocked by the following:
A) That twitter is actually alive
and
B) that I am excited and motivated to participate in it.
The space is somehow sentient and intelligent.

@wish_monger
and I developed the Apollonian/Dionysian themes, and
@bashu_thanks
and Tim held down the music which fit better than it had any right to. Then our clown team, contestants, and tech rehearsals brought the rest.
@morganecf
@sophianegativa
@wish_monger
@bashu_thanks
As for threads this one is a great representative review and links to bashu’s comprehensive overview of the mythic/magical themes we ended up expressing - worth a read to understand the big picture of our world/ritual building!
@deepfates
Thank you for encapsulating exactly what we were going for (without precisely knowing it beforehand)!
FYI 50% of the plot was developed via vibe in zoom calls and rehearsals…the goal was to be with/transmute what was there. Worked better than I could imagine!
The DSM-5 is the most remarkable book of our times.
It contains within its pages the greatest squandering of potential and imagination in human history.
Prove me wrong.
Soooo I did a musical with
@MasterTimBlais
in Costa Rica and we absolutely crushed it in a bizarre beautiful psychedelic umami way.
Think ‘improv buffet’ rather than ‘two days of rehearsal at a music festival’
Love that 50% of our clowns wrote post vibecamp essays on the nature and purpose of clowning. Shakespearean fool cred to the max!

ok but fr though I keep steering the topic back to this to the point that Im a little nervous people around me are getting sick of it, but it was a genuinely ecstatic experience and i figure i should crank out a little thread about it:

I will also be there to answer any questions on-stream as the representative of the

If Judas had only compounded his 30 pieces of silver at 2% annually he would have 4,758,441,982,811,304,000 pieces of silver by 2024.

@sophianegativa
I was probably improvising 30% of my lines in the show, and of the other 70% over half of it came from prior improvisations in past rehearsals and we kept the ones that worked. Iterative script design and awesome direction of talent by
@morganecf
to just let it happen!
@puheenix
Yes! When I teach freestyle improvisation fully half the work is with partners, training the receiving partner to receive the freestyler with total openness and love in their body.
It accelerates learning threefold.
Disney’s cash-driven monopolization of the American cultural meme-plex towards crass 80-IQ sequels and sub-GPT 3.5 screenwriting is priming society for AI takeover. (And it’s stopped generating cash. Thanks Bob Iger!)
Someone PLEASE change my mind.
The current culture war is basically WWI.
Prolonged trench warfare, both sides lose, and diseases (of the mind, including via algorithms) are the biggest killers.
Solution: pack up, re-establish prewar boundaries, and no putative inflationary reparations.
Ontology today:
I classify the current state of rationalism as ‘helpful but not sufficient.
‘Post-rats’ are shorthand for ‘well-meaning hedonists in a semi-self-aware cocoon stage,’ enjoying life while awaiting coherent leadership and a more holistic embodied worldview.
AI will force us ALL to meditate more.
The content of our minds, audio, visual, lyrical - is replicable, but the resonance is not. Toning the resonance has a future.
The rest is just data.
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing…
Working vibecamp and then organizing for the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness the next week pleasantly increased my rank on The Spectrum.
I feel like Rogue but for neurodivergence.
@algekalipso
Hmmm Colorado’s leading theoretical Freemason told me in 2016 that every time the great procession of the equinox (2140 years) entered an air sign, that began an age of spiritual androgyny. That leaves a 8,560 year cycle between gender dominance which includes clan matriarchy.
@TylerAlterman
We ran the first ever ‘authentic berating’ workshop at our April 1st gathering ‘the best cult ever party’ and it was unreasonably successful.
It featured the above face a LOT.
@sophianegativa
The show is ALWAYS TODAY! Always almost here! Groundhog Day as INFINITE TECH REHEARSAL! LIVE THE DREAM
@sophianegativa
! LIVE THE DREAM!!!!!
Today’s learning:
Qi gong is a GREAT bridge between Christian love-based practice and tantrik energy-based practice.
Flexible, humble, and noninvasive. I highly recommend Taoist breath work as a spiritual super connector.
@SAMOYEDCORE
Yes! YEEEEESSS! You picked up the pipe that I/we were laying down!
I can’t believe I WASN’T on dissociatives “acting” on it. Pinch me bruh.
The moment you accept that we are basically time traveling crime solvers, this whole experience becomes dramatically easier and way more fun.
Try it for yourself!
@prerationalist
Dead celebrity AI ads hella incoming.
Abraham Lincoln at Ford’s theater shilling life insurance with a smiling Booth in the background. Mark my words.
Rationalism is a weakly positive waiting room of the Zeitgeist for unaffiliated geniuses and non-neurotypicals.
It’s an inoffensive place for outliers to develop 1/7th (or so) of their psyche while a more inclusive mutant-inclusive ontology enters its third trimester.

Women are 1/3rd as sexually responsive to looks as are men. Rear occipital hypothalamus.
Conversely women’s sexual response to appetite is 2x coded as men. Give a woman a good meal on the town and she’ll likely be turned on.
@dschorno
The plot was archetypally crowdsourced and we essentially had less than a week of rehearsals of any kind, definitely an assemblage from reality and was glad to have you on board! 🤡
@algekalipso
By temporal pincer do you mean: We are cleaning up the old feminine gods that were mulched at the start of the Age of Gemini (~9K years ago) when citystates began to dominate the matriarchy to kick off a standard 10k year cycle of gender dominance, in our recent case male?

I personally want more people empowered to share their grand visions and craft rituals - Elena looking at you.
The most noble criticism is also implicitly an audition to help curate the future. 🌊 looking forward to the artistic homeostasis you’ll bring with your vibes. 🌟
@quistydotquist
But it’s a really sweet spell and quite innocuous - our intention was as an internal use document towards the energies raised by the show, not towards the audience. Hope that helps!
~100bn total people were arguably required to create an AI akash of all data.
Fewer people will be needed to steer that data. Thus there will be fewer people.
Those that evolve will be capable of curating from the set of all data rather than simply producing it.
@algekalipso
The blood sacrifice of which creates most of the old gods that the ancient Temple and the Masons harvested for their rites, and which are now being repurposed into the Grid? Lmk if that’s your angle Andres otherwise I should likely delete.
The worst part is it feels like nobody is properly using the harem! I’m emphatically ‘meh’ about the iPhone 15 or the 1% dividend.
But magic as ever, requires balls (or ovaries).
@boon_dLux
The Christian “devil” carries Shiva’s trident and has pan-like goat hooves as a propaganda hit against this powerful rival force for human attention and worship. 🔱
It’s a conspiracy against the life force which ONLY held for the age of Pisces. We done bruh.
@boon_dLux
Shiva/Dionysius likely come from the same proto-Vedic / Aryan root. Shrines to shove/Dionysius are always outside the major cities in nature. Especially in Shivas pashupati ‘lord of the animals’ form he is heralded as the horned god.
@metaLulie
Internal vs external value…some people give everything away and there’s little left within. Remarkable, successful people with very limited inner worlds and huge followings. Not datable but transactional if the win-win is externally valid. Stay magnetic. 🧲
@Meaningness
It’s great for dissociating into a shallow Kegan stage 4 though. Worshipping at the sexless plastic ‘perfection’ of an Apple Store cathedral.
The gnostic demiurge is somewhere up there, laughing.

Please list them here so I can compare! There’s such a meta-context about the corporate sponsorship and LARPing AS the corporation that I haven’t personally seen done and opens unique artistic possibilities - and am super open for an expanded history lesson!
@deepfates
I estimated 30% of the dialogue was made up in the moment but of the remaining 70% over half of that was the product of prior improvisation. The script was not written out beforehand at all - just a series of beats. Characters found their lines via zoom calls and rehearsal.
The decline in quality of virtually all print news sources reflects the shift from print to digital and the discovery of articles from social media networks.
NYT eliminated their ‘page one’ meeting in favor of culture klatsches in 2014 for this reason.

Great k is excellent when used therapeutically or to connect with dear friends. There’s great mud and lower realm k so only get the good stuff if you can and be CHOOSY with set and setting.
It’s good.

It’s possible but you’d have to go soft core w-economic stagflation, T decline due to lifestyle/pollution, VR families, and a voluntary rather than disease mediated birth rate drop.
