Topic: Westworld

Howdy Mikoski uses the films Westworld and Dark City as metaphors for a simulation where history and personal memories are merely "backstory" programmed into participants. He questions when the current simulation actually began, suggesting it could be as recent as 2010 or at most 500 to 2,000 years ago. He further theorizes that humanity is "devolving" as the simulation's code becomes increasingly degraded over time.

The International Barcode of Life initiative, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, aims to sequence the genome of every living thing on Earth. This data collection is linked to the concept of a Sentient World Simulation, a real-time digital mirror of reality used for predictive modeling of human behavior and collective movements. The project suggests that while individual humans are mysterious, large populations can be understood and controlled through statistical data points.

The host previews topics from the second hour of the show, including Nazi assets, Robert Maxwell, and "Westworld" Season 3. The episode concludes with a musical segment featuring a remix of "Sweet Dreams" with lyrics tailored to the show's themes of elite control and conspiracy.

A model of reality based on indie video game development suggests that the universe functions like a computer program where information is interconnected. In this framework, prediction is explained as accessing system-level data that is typically hidden from players by agreed-upon rules. The concept mirrors AI behavior in games where entities possess perfect knowledge of the environment but are programmed to simulate limited vision.

Miguel Conner directs listeners to his website, TheGodAboveGod.com, and his podcast, Aeonbyte Gnostic Radio, for further exploration of heretical topics. He recommends a variety of media for understanding Gnosticism, including the book The Gnostic New Age by April De Connick, the series Westworld, and the film Snowpiercer. The interview concludes with a discussion on how any serious artist is "half a Gnostic" by nature of their inward journey and play with reality.

The host recaps the interview and previews additional topics covered in the "Plus" version of the episode, including Gnostic influences on Aleister Crowley and Thelema. The discussion extends to the occult belief systems of the elite, the "binding spell" placed on Donald Trump by a coven of witches, and the suppression of Gnostic groups throughout history. Other mentioned topics include the Dalai Lama, portals, and the Gnostic narratives found in the HBO series Westworld.

Host Greg Carlwood reflects on the interview, highlighting the connection between Dr. Bill Bengston's imaging technique and other esoteric practices like magical rituals and meditation. Carlwood emphasizes the importance of conscious goal formation and engaging the subconscious to manifest reality. He suggests that even if the healing aspect is not the primary interest, the practice of defining what one wants out of life is inherently valuable.

The HBO series Westworld, created by Michael Crichton and Jonathan Nolan, is briefly discussed as a slow-burning show. The host expresses frustration with skeptics who dismiss subjective experiences, comparing it to someone denying another person's sensation of hunger or heat. The segment ends with a call to "psychonauts" and explorers to continue investigating the multiverse in defiance of mainstream regulation of human consciousness.
