Ep.16 - Gabriel Kennedy: Robert Anton Wilson and Non-Zero-Sum Politics

Épisode 16

mardi 6 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:44:01

Marc Salmon is joined once again by writer Gabriel Kennedy, author of Chapel Perilous: The Life and Thought Crimes of Robert Anton Wilson, for a conversation about the ideas of Robert Anton Wilson and what they might have to offer us now.

Together they explore non-zero-sum politics, anarchism, power and hierarchy, violence and nonviolence, reality tunnels, the eight-circuit model of consciousness, psychedelics, intelligence, AI and the question of who gets to programme the programmers.

Gabriel first appeared on Episode 5 of The Bardo Podcast for a wider introduction to the life and work of Robert Anton Wilson. This time, we get deeper into the ideas themselves, where they still feel useful, and where they might need questioning or updating.

Solo: You're Waiting for Your Life to Begin

mardi 28 juillet 2026 • Durée 26:38

In this solo episode I explore why so many of us postpone happiness until some future version of ourselves finally arrives.

Inspired by the surreal Japanese film Mind Game, I reflect on ambition, creativity, Buddhism, meditation, comedy and clowning.

Along the way I explore the friction between desire and burnout, the weight of social comparison, and what it actually means to just stop trying so hard to become 'somebody.'

I'll be taking a short summer break while I'm performing at the Edinburgh Fringe, but I'll be back later this year with more conversations and solo episodes.
