There is something I want to write about related to this topic, but it’s a different topic that hasn’t completely crystalized into a coherent concept yet (at least not in my brain). So I will write about something similar — simply because it is more accessible (to my brain) right now. The other day I… Continue reading Mainstream Ignorance

Mainstreaming a Different Mainstream
I remember the first time I attended a Quaker Meeting (for Worship) many decades ago just like it was yesterday. It was an awe-inspiring experience. I guess maybe when Simon and Garfunkel wrote “The Sound of Silence”, they might have been trying to capture a similarly phenomenal experience. I am often reminded of this experience… Continue reading Mainstreaming a Different Mainstream
An Introduction to the Mainstream Trick
I have been troubled with the contrast between mainstream and milieu for several weeks now (see e.g. “Mainstream Milieus“). This week I discovered a fascinating insight, and I wrote about it on “Epidemic of Knowingness” [ https://podcasts.video.blog/2025/03/28/epidemic-of-knowingness ]. In particular, Chris Williamson describes something he refers to as experiencing a “lonely chapter” in life, which… Continue reading An Introduction to the Mainstream Trick
Mainstream Milieus
I guess about a decade ago I became aware of a new trend in the music industry, referred to as the “mashup”. A mashup was a combination of two songs — and these songs could be quite different. The result was (I guess) a new piece, and one of the most prominent examples and in… Continue reading Mainstream Milieus
Voiding and Avoiding the Void
I have been writing about this stuff for decades, yet I have never (as far as I know) put it quite that way. Why do I put it that way now? It’s actually not me — it’s other people. Every day I see people saying they are putting this or that or whatever “out into… Continue reading Voiding and Avoiding the Void
Cleansing Democracy
I think maybe democracy and cleansing have never been quite as closely associated as in this title, yet I also think that maybe it’s about time they are. This past week or so, populations worldwide have been not only generally alarmed, but have indeed become bombarded with somewhat of a political frenzy. Hardly any of… Continue reading Cleansing Democracy
Mainstreaming vs. Mass Throttling
This week I am very much under the influence of a few podcasts which address (or “report” on) topics I find fascinating, yet which are not directly in the “wheelhouse” of my interests. The topics covered, while somewhat similar, seem rather unconnected (apart from both being related to my own interest in such topics as… Continue reading Mainstreaming vs. Mass Throttling
A jumping off point for the truth
I listen to quite a few podcasts, and I have already mentioned some of them here before. Now I am going to mention an episode of “Factory Settings” (another episode of which I also mentioned a few months ago — see “There (but for the Grace of God) Go I“). In this new (or at least… Continue reading A jumping off point for the truth
