On Debt, Sacrifice and the Plague with Daniel Fraga

This is the second episode of an ongoing series with Daniel Fraga, and is an experimental episode that begins with Owen and Daniel 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.
