I’m not saying: tune in, turn on, drop out.

’Cause trying to muscle your way through empire
is like trying to win a mosh pit with a résumé.
I’m not here to fight the machine.

Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, Ch. 30:
“Violence, even well intentioned, always rebounds upon oneself.”

I know I’m not real.
You know I’m not real.
But neither is money.

This podcast is a Zen glitch in the algorithm of American nostalgia—
half koan, half vinyl record spinning in a microwave full of manifest destiny;
a Taoist whisper duct-taped to your doomscroll...
