I would love to tell you I had a boring conversation with Justin from Neo-Passéism because, like a Prince track from the vault, the beginning is completely missing and so you’ll just have to imagine it for yourself. We mostly spend the missing bits talking about Neo-Passéism as a project and the new Louis Theroux release, Inside the Manosphere (which everyone else is covering anyway), BUT we pick up where Justin gets fan mail from Jack Donovan (in the days before he was known as Jack Donovan) regarding how gay or not gay Mishima’s death and antecedent conduct was, before we find our way towards bodybuilding, hologram waifus, and the Thanos of Cum whereupon I pull a professional Freud move and question whether you can’t tell what people think about AI by replacing their verbiage about AI with verbiage about sex.
