Topic: Rex Mundi

Howdy Mikoski discusses the prevalence of global suffering and the "cesspool of difficulty" in places like Africa and India to support his view of a predatory reality. He criticizes the system for wiping memories between lives, arguing that a helpful system would allow for the accumulation of experience. He identifies his current philosophy with the Cathars, who sought to end the reincarnation trap of "Rex Mundi."

The conversation turns to the Cathars, a 13th-century group that believed the world was created by an evil god named Rex Mundi. Howdy Mikoski explains that the Cathars were not interested in improving society or government, but were solely focused on escaping the reincarnation cycle. Their genocide by the Church of Rome is discussed as a pivotal historical event regarding the suppression of this "exit" knowledge.
