Do you guys think a live call-in show for weird stories would draw the same interest as it used to? Seems like it would be easier than ever with live streaming services and so on.I've got a decent personality for random discussions and I'm thinking about giving it a shot.>Inb4 comparing myself to ArtWould never but it's a nice image for the thread.
>>41323638no. memetic churning is happening now in the weird stories thoughspace. stuff like coast to coast AM was more or less what we have here now, especially in the days of ham radio. my uncle was super into that and would chat for hours with randos from around the world about this exact stuff. they used to have someone write it all down as a listener, type it all up, then mail it out as a sort of zine.problem is, that process was sort of like idea mining. it extracted most all of the tinfoil hat ideas in the "weird stories" space, sort of like a vacuum cleaner. you'll notice people just repeat the same bullshit over and over again, like when churches trundle out the same religious artifacts, same sermons, same bullshit, just that it needs to be rotated through, or worst of all, people finding "new and interesting takes" on old bullshit.the fact is, every once and a while, someone comes along with some actual new paranormal experiences or knowledge, and it most often gets drowned in the noise from grifters. the griftpocalypse makes it such that someone can pull in piles of cash with a shitty youtube channel where all they are doing is just barfing up old paranormal crap from some cheap books written in the 1980s that they bought for cheap on amazon. eventually, everything becomes stale and unoriginal. bullshit and lies float to the surface and truth sinks to the bottom.people think it is all spirit wars, quantum healing crystals, vampire business corporations, and ayylmaos wearing skinsuits to hide the real truth that they are lizard people who live in the earth which is at once hollow, flat, and globe shaped.read these.https://techgnosis.com/high-weirdness-book/https://techgnosis.com/nomad-codes/https://techgnosis.com/techgnosis-book/
>>41324168I'm really bummed to hear that.Unironically I didn't want to monetize shit. I just thought it'd be cool do talk since I like to do that anyway and that listening along might be comfy for others. I get exactly what you're saying about the shit storm, though.
>>41324201I'll chat with you. what's on your paranormal mind right now?
>>41324239At this particular time, I've been feeling strange lately in a way that's hard to describe. I guess it's like something is crouched inside of me, ready for something to happen. It doesn't really feel like anxiety anticipation, it's not even exactly uncomfortable. I just feel on the verge of jumping out of my own skin sometimes for no perceivable reason. A state of internal "readiness" that is strange because I don't have any plans to do anything weird and I don't have any reason to be so apprehensive either.
>>41324262same. I used to get that in my 20s. I used to do this thing where after a few months, I would pack everything up and move away to another city, sometimes another country. it was mostly for work, but also because of that adventurous spirit. I did that for about 20 years, living homeless, but not on the street, if that makes sense.I would move around every 6 months or so, sometimes even shorter. people would just become nameless, faceless, meatbags. some of those men I spoke their last words with, cared deeply for them (in a professional sense, since they might die), and even lost sleep over my part in our work. still, they died and I can barely remember their faces or names, nor having any emotion about them after they either died or I moved on.that same feeling, as you describe as anxiety anticipation or vague strangeness, in me, was wanderlust. not until I bought my house here and have lived in it for about 8 years have I ever felt like I was home. I left home at 17 and didn't stop being homeless until 38- again, not a street walker, its just that I bounced from couches, airport terminals, ditches, hotel rooms, apartment, random houses of obscenely rich people, etc... as a wacky couchsurfing glowie.none of that is even close to how much I like having my little home with my brain herb garden I grow. what I am getting at here is that you probably need to burn off those adventures. it worked for me, though I still do get restless. I went out and saw the world, did stuff in it, and got disappointed with it in the end.it's all so blasé.your turn, what paranormal stuff were you looking for? maybe I know something.
>>41323638Maybe, yeah. The Why Files after show and Forbidden Frontiers are kinda like thatGood content is good, so make it good and you’re good.
>>41324387Fair enough. I guess it's always worth a shot. Not like I'd lose anything by not being any good.Now I just have to figure out how to get people to call in without spamming everywhere like an irritating douche.
>>41324403If you build it they will come
