Owen and Daniel begin playing a glass bead game. The glass bead game is a psychotechnology designed to explore a specified topic in a way that creates space for profound insight. We play on the topic of debt, which then leads into a discussion of: debt, sacred and material; sacrifice and what it enables; the tensions of interplaying potentiality and actuality that characterise life; mythic interpretations of the coronavirus - the plague gods, the lord of the flies, the existential turning-inwards as expansionary modernity is challenged; the sense that in 2020, shit is getting real; critiques of metamodernism and the Game B subculture; and religion and technoshamanism.
