The Black Elephant World

Aaanndd we're back! With so much to do and only so many hours in a day, we took a brief hiatus from recording to allow for some other cool things to take shape, one of those being the forthcoming album from the Gawd MC Mak himself! In this episode we jump straight to the chase and meander from topic to topic as is our specialty. From Google seemingly providing a proof-of-work for their killswitch, bomb scares, Asian dominance of cellphone tech, to Trump and Ye's SNL worthy sitdown and rectilinear Allspark-esque icebergs being uncovered, its a good one. As always, thanks for listening! ***SHOWNOTES BELOW*** 3:22 Google's Killswitch https://fstoppers.com/education/youtube-outage-shows-dangers-putting-all-your-eggs-one-basket-297457 6:49 Chinese chips in tech, Samsung's S10 sensors https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s10-plus-879600/ 9:46 Lottery ran up crazy https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s10-plus-879600/ 11:06 Bombs and other hysteria https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45983580 17:52 Netflix Canceling Shit https://netflixlife.com/2018/11/01/netflix-new-releases-angelas-christmas-30-movies-shows/ 20:12 Disney's Inclusivity Initiative & The Art of Not Giving A Fuck https://variety.com/2018/film/news/michael-b-jordan-inclusion-rider-1202721271/ 26:22 Khashoggi https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-46067959 29:56 The Rectilinear Iceberg https://www.npr.org/2018/10/23/659799976/whats-going-on-with-that-bizarre-rectangular-iceberg 36:34 Trump and Kanye Have a Sitdown https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-dines-with-kanye-west-at-the-white-house-live-updates/ 40:24 Letting Experience Inform Knowledge and Healthy Skeptism 47:12 The Significange of 2.4Ghz and 60-95+ Ghz http://www1.lsbu.ac.uk/water/water_vibrational_spectrum.html https://resonance.is/scientists-show-that-water-has-memory/

Whats going on yall? Today's installment comes in at roughly an hour and a half, but its surprisingly well segmented! The first portion of the show focuses on the nature of music: how its made, its power to affect us emotionally, and different aspects that contribute to the fabled "timeless classic". Portion two is a tale of a man and his dog as told by Mak, with the final segment dealing with the battle between the Securities Exchange Commision and Elon Musk as well as a splash of censorship commmentary. And as the initiated are well aware, plenty of other poignant points. As always, thanks for listening!

Well yall, this marks the second livestreamed episode of TBEW as well as what may very well be one of our most focused entries yet! Mak and Sae'Von take quite the plunge into the implications of Bill Cosby's sentencing, why Russel Simmons ran off on the D.A., and even touched upon MLK's fascination with women for hire. There's also an extended look at sociopathy and how all the previous topics relate as well as plenty of other poignant points. As always, thanks for listening!

Today's episode is equal parts sour and sweet. Though Mak and Sae'Von kick things off with the usual casual banter that makes way into the first few topics - including Elon Musk's recent blunt blazing interview, voodoo and P Diddy's eccentricities. Toward the back end of the episode though things begin to turn more serious, including Mac Miller's death and discussion over drugs' current place within the culture and even an anaysis of prayer itself. This is now the second episode in a row where drug abuse has taken center stage. We are hopeful this pattern can cease before becoming a trend. Please. Choose Wisely. Oh yea. And hella other poignant points.
