Years ago, a friend and I were nodding on heroin and arguing about who was hotter: Susan Sontag or Joan Didion. Let it be known for the record that I was in Joan's corner, and beyond her hotness just think she's great generally.
I loved Play it as it Lays—one of the few books I’ve ever read that I thought was too short and could have used less editing. It wasn’t until I read that that I realized what a huge influence Didion was on Bret Easton Ellis, another favorite writer of mine.
Annoying interview, btw, but I’m sure that was the point. I love this account, guys, you have a major fan here.
Lovely interview. A thought on psychedelic experiences.
I think it should go a little broader yet more radical: psychedelics (from weakest to strongest forms, including chinese tea, bread, wine etc.), occult/magickal/yogic praxis, poetically imaginative thinking.
Greatest geniuses were doing either all 3 or just the latter in some form, whilst astrally secreting psychedelia through sheer unapologetic hardcore vibing as they composed their life as a devotional ritual to whatever theurgic obsession they pursued.
In this day and age, where all the essential (primordially verified, so to speak..) teachings are publicly available and the intrinsic axiology of the spiritual life should be more apparent than ever, it ought to be treated as an ontic crime to create art whilst not engaging with the proper prior cultivation.
Ergo, magickal life is the true Adam Qadmonic life. Anything else is betrayal of inner sovereignty, vapid aesthetic mesmerism, mayamania, prana deficiency, gooner metaphysics, and what have you.

You have forever put me off heroin.

Great interview. DMT & CREATINE.
The thing i like most from fin de siecle decadentism of 19th is the spiritism craze and the first leaps of parapsychology subsequently
Its clearly was a sublimantion of the young/middle aged to old ladies
It’s stands for isis chtonic goddess right not western puppet proxy head choppers amirite
Exactly!
