EP.006: State Induced Trauma Bond

Wiirdo's weekly surveillance update involving FLOCK and Axon kicks things off, then Wiirdo and MickeyBravo dive into the real subject of the night: can you actually live forever? Physicist Hugh Everett's many-worlds interpretation says that under the right conditions, you never experience dying — you just keep waking up in the branch where you survived. From there it's straight into reincarnating bloodlines, Aleister Crowley's own claimed past lives, the real (and legitimately fascinating) Tibetan tulku tradition behind the Dalai Lama's lineage, and the Mandela Effect as maybe-evidence that some of us aren't remembering the same timeline. Then a full Black Mirror rundown — San Junipero, White Christmas, Black Museum, Bandersnatch, and the one about the AR visor that turns "undesirables" into monsters — as the pop-culture mirror for everything just discussed. It's a heavy episode with a light touch, and it ends, as always, off the rails.
