And The Net Appeared

I am beyond thrilled to share this episode with you. James McCrae is a writer, poet, and meme-artist based in Austin, Texas. You may already know him as @wordsarevibrations on Instagram.

We talk about:

• Internet culture and the meme as an art form and a way to create & spread ideas.
• The connection between the imagination, psychedelics, and the internet as we know it.
• Terence McKenna and his many ideas: from psychedelics to memes to the ‘transcendental object at the end of time’.
• Keeping a level-headed perspective amidst the chaos in the world.
• Reinventing yourself & pivoting your message to stay true to who you are.

And so much more.
