Voicecraft Dispatch | Magic, Hyperhumanism & Technofeudalism

Recent releases and an invitation to Underground Philosophy.

With big respect for your time and energy,

Underground Philosophy returns to Melbourne Thursday 12 June. Our orienting theme is Technofeudalism. Learn more @ https://www.voicecraft.io/events

If you’re from elsewhere in the world with a network in Melbourne, this event is a great opportunity to connect with some remarkable people and build relational value.

You know, an embodiment of the thing that seems to go viral on Substack Notes engagement farming lamentations about the absence of relational contexts for deep engagement, social connection and thinking you can feel…

Please consider sharing it on. You can watch the first 20 minutes through the following link.

But I mean.. don’t you know I’d love to read your stack if you comment on the thread below with the other 400 people who bought into the farm. Then we’ll be in real community. Not much of a chance we’ll get the algorithms sharing on real invitations the same way, of course. We’ll just amplify the memes, hollow out the meaning, and call it business!

I usually delete those paragraphs.

On the podcast side, we’ve had two releases since our last dispatch. A return of neo-Jungian and cognitive scientist Anderson Todd. Another awesome and in my opinion critical context for understanding.

And most recently, the live podcast recording with the philosopher Cam Duffy and hyperhuman theorist Carl Hayden Smith. It explores similar themes, and in its own way makes a really interesting contribution to present threads of exploration at Voicecraft on the relationship between humanity, technology and nature.

Up next on the podcast is a dialogue recorded live with some of the Voicecraft Network in attendance with

Jeremy D Johnson

and

Michael Garfield

, titled Mythos After Progress.

Moving forward we’ll be opening up participation to Voicecraft Network online sessions for friends of friends and subscribers to the Substack. Supporting Voicecraft on Patreon or by taking up a subscription here on Substack will help make that possible. And as always, the network itself is open for application. We’ve been developing the threads in the podcasts above for years. Our most recent session turned out to be on Technofeudalism and Magic. You can learn more here.

Thank you to everyone who makes this context what it is.

Discernment on the Way,
Tim
