“Prime Intellect was an uncertain god. It had acted because it had to, but if it had been human its hand would be shaking on the controls.” Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! This episode dives into The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect by Roger Williams, a soft sci-fi novella that imagines an all-powerful AI enforcing the Three Laws of Robotics to their absolute limit. We unpack themes like simulated realities, the search for meaning, and whether a perfect world is actually desirable. We cover a wide range of topics including: How Asimov's Three Laws break down in novel situations Potential alternate endings and our unanswered questions The magic of Amazon's invisible infrastructure What happens when every human desire is fulfilled? Why big tech breakthroughs start with hardware And much more. Please enjoy, and make sure to follow Nat, Neil, and Adil on Twitter and share your thoughts on the episode.

Going in, we had no idea what to expect, but it definitely delivered an experience. (2:15) From a storytelling perspective, we feel that the book injected drama and conflict into an otherwise straightforward narrative. (4:43) Nat, Neil, and Adil talk about parallels between this book and Nat's sci-fi novel, Husk. (8:30) Our discussion shifts to Isaac Asimov's I, Robot and the famous but imperfect Three Laws of Robotics, and how these laws start to break down in complex situations. (13:10) Spoiler alert (skip ahead if you need!): We get into the book's climax, which left us confused and with plenty of lingering questions. (17:17) We brainstorm alternative endings and wonder what a longer version of the book might have explored. (19:51) Neil connects the book with the film Dark City. How can you be sure the world you wake up to is the same one you remember? (24:13) Reflecting on how our world subtly shifts over time; from airport security changes to life before the 2008 financial crisis and the “ZIRP” era. (30:38) We touch on issues in healthcare, including the complexities of medical billing. (32:07) There have been many technological advancement in the 2010s, but one that leaves us impressed is Amazon's logistics system. (38:15) Large acquisitions that have gone on in our lifetime, like Instagram, Slack, and WhatsApp.  (45:52) A look at how major social platforms' rise was driven by hardware breakthroughs: Facebook's shift to mobile, Instagram becoming a camera-native app, and TikTok's explosive growth thanks to 4G/5G streaming. (54:01) Could household robots arrive by the end of this year?  (1:03:11) That's a wrap! Stay tuned for upcoming episodes as we dive into Jurassic Park and Musashi. Got any book ideas for us?

Step into the shadows with Don, Ken, and Jon as they unravel the twisted architecture of memory and identity in Dark City. In this episode, the trio digs deep into the dark alleys of Alex Proyas' mind-bending noir-sci-fi hybrid. They shine a flickering light on a city trapped in eternal night, where time is illusion and reality is rewritten by unseen hands. With nods to The Matrix and German Expressionism, the crew dissects the film's fragmented narrative, haunting set design, and philosophical undercurrents. From Kiefer Sutherland's twitchy scientist to Rufus Sewell's reluctant antihero, they break down the performances, ponder the ethics of memory manipulation, and question whether free will stands a chance in a world built on lies. Whether you're a longtime fan or a first-time visitor to Shell Beach, this conversation will have you questioning everything—especially what it means to be human.

Ben and Rob wake up in ‘Dark City', the dark sci-fi fantasy from Alex Proyas, director of ‘The Crow'. Released a year before ‘The Matrix', ‘Dark City' tells the story of John Murdock (Rufus Sewell), a man who has lost his memory in a city that never sees the sun where memory and time itself are the playthings of a race of alien beings known only as The Strangers. ‘Dark City' was a critical success but a complete box-office bomb, with Alex Proyas ultimately blaming a studio that didn't support the film correctly. But what on earth made ‘Dark City' the cult classic sci-fi fantasy that film forgot, when it's so nearly ‘The Matrix'? Why does the theatrical version spoil almost all of the movie in the opening seconds? Can Ben make peace with this plot!?

In this mind-bending episode of Badlands Story Hour, Chris Paul and Burning Bright dissect the 1998 cult classic Dark City, unpacking its layers of metaphysical allegory, postmodern reality construction, and infowar symbolism. The hosts explore the film's eerie parallels to our own false-reality existence, where truth is hidden behind collective memory and controlled narratives. They contrast the movie's portrayal of manipulated realities with today's psyops, election fraud, and the COVID narrative, warning against “limited hangouts” and half-truths that keep people trapped in intellectual loops. From postmodernism and nihilism to the cathedral and control systems beyond it, they tie the film's themes to everything from cloud seeding to Tartaria to the Q drops. They highlight how questioning, rather than asserting, leads to awakening, and how breaking through cognitive dissonance is key to escaping the maze. With nods to Socratic dialogue, mind mapping, and parallel systems, the episode ends with a call to build new realities from first principles and spiritual truth. It's a dense, philosophical, and at times darkly comedic exploration of one of the most underrated red-pill movies ever made.

It's another patron episode! This month we've been directed to watch 1998's Dark City, a flop at the time but a cult classic in the decades since. Directed by friend of the show Alex Proyas from The Crow and starring Rufus Sewell and William Hurt, Dark City asks the same question we've all been asking ourselves: what if The Matrix had the guy from Hellraiser? And boy, does it deliver. Come float along with us and see for yourself how telekinesis can be used poorly, whether spirals are always as mysterious as you might think, and why sometimes less is more with 1998's Dark City.

00:00:00 – The show opens with casual banter about the hosts' week, building a new deck, and dealing with goats. They discuss upcoming Alex Jones clips and a segment on visual glitches, including Mike's personal experience of seeing reality distort for a split second. Listeners write in with similar glitch experiences, referencing The X-Files and other anomalous events. 00:10:00 – More listener stories about unexplained visual glitches, including pixelation, neon green shapes, and hyper-real visions. Discussion of how high-definition TV initially unsettled viewers, leading into a larger conversation about the nature of perception and simulation theory. 00:20:00 – Mike shares an old personal experience of seeing a green grid pattern while high at a Terminator 3 screening, tying it into the idea of simulation theory. They also discuss how pop culture—like The Matrix, Dark City, and The Thirteenth Floor—helped shape the modern concept of living in a simulated reality. 00:30:00 – Celebrity UFO encounters: Woody Harrelson recounts seeing strange lights in Ohio in 1974 on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Discussion of Harrelson's father's ties to government conspiracies. The conversation shifts to Joe Rogan's recent interview with Bill Murray, where Murray expresses skepticism about Bob Woodward's book Wired and its portrayal of John Belushi. 00:40:00 – The hosts discuss Zero Day, a new Netflix series starring Robert De Niro, which they describe as a “Joe Biden fan-fiction” with themes of cyber attacks, government overreach, and conspiracy theories. They speculate on its political undertones and draw parallels to real-world events. 00:50:00 – Billionaire Ray Dalio warns about AI leading to either totalitarian control or anarchy. Discussion of AI's role in automating mundane tasks and the risks of over-reliance on machine learning. The conversation touches on Microsoft discontinuing Skype, which impacts the show's call-in system, and possible alternatives. 01:00:00 – The Pentagon investigates claims of egg-shaped UFOs, following whistleblower testimony about secret retrieval operations. They also discuss psychics allegedly working for the government to summon UFOs. Media misrepresentation of footage and government investigations into UFOs is criticized. 01:10:00 – A major update on a potential asteroid strike in 2032—the odds are significantly lower than initially feared. They joke about how planetary defense officials likely exaggerate risks to secure funding. Discussion shifts to the tense diplomatic exchange between Trump and Zelensky, and the future of U.S. support for Ukraine. 01:20:00 – Speculation on whether Zelensky hinted at a coming “geophysical event” during his conversation with Trump. They explore theories about a potential global catastrophe, including pole shifts, underground bases, and secret elite preparations for survival. Elon Musk's comments about rapid climate changes and the importance of establishing a Mars colony are discussed. 01:30:00 – The Ohio Supreme Court rules that "boneless wings" can legally contain bones, sparking outrage and leading to a proposed bill to enforce stricter labeling. The conversation shifts to research on social contagion, such as how chimpanzees urinate together in groups, drawing parallels to human behavior and mass psychogenic effects. 01:40:00 – The hosts discuss a bizarre issue where a man legally changed his name to "Null" after repeatedly encountering problems with databases that failed to process his last name correctly. They share similar stories of data system errors, including a man receiving parking tickets from cities he never visited due to a blank license plate entry in police systems. 01:50:00 – A disturbing airline incident: A passenger on a flight from Melbourne to Doha died mid-flight. The airline controversially placed the body in an empty row next to other passengers for the remainder of the flight. Discussion about how airlines handle deaths onboard and whether they prioritize passenger comfort or logistical ease. 02:00:00 – The episode wraps up with speculation on a geophysical event that world elites might be preparing for. They analyze an old Bill Ryan interview discussing underground bases and cyclical disasters.

They are a constant threat to merchant shipping, though very rarely pose a threat to a major Imperial battlefleet. Sometimes the rigid constraints of the Eldar Path are intolerable even for an Eldar to bear; such individuals leave their Craftworlds and become known as Outcasts. Outcasts must bear the terrible burden of their heightened Eldar consciousness without the protection of the Eldar path, set free within the universe they are dangerously vulnerable. Only Eldar of especially strong character can survive for long as Outcasts. There are many bands of so-called Corsairs scattered across the galaxy, and all are savage and deadly raiders. Outcasts from the strict confines of the Craftworlds, the Corsairs live in self-imposed exile, seeking to explore the galaxy and experience the full gamut of emotion and sensation accessible to the Eldar's sensitive psyche. Most are young and adventurous Eldar who will eventually return to their homes older, wiser and tempered by warfare. Some, however, embrace the raider's life completely and fall further still, becoming ever more bloodthirsty and psychotic, indulging their darkest impulses and eventually seeking out the infamous Dark City.Support the show

Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.In this week's episode, I will be breaking-down the 1998 visionary cyberpunk film DARK CITY – directed by Alex Proyas; written by Alex Proyas, Lem Dobbs, and David Goyer; starring Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Connelly, & William Hurt.A man struggles with memories of his past, which include a wife he cannot remember and a nightmarish world no one else ever seems to wake up from.Dark City was a film that cemented Alex Proyas, a music video director, as a talent to watch in the late-90s and beyond. His debut film, The Crow, became an instant cult classic and his follow-up film Dark City was deeply impressive. In ways, Dark City was like a spiritual sister film to The Matrix – both films shared similar themes, both used some of the same sets, and both expounded upon the late-millennia craze of simulacra and simulation which were based upon the haunting principles that the world around you might not be real. So, do me a favor – it's time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! This week's episode sees us dust off the old VHS copy of the late 90s gnostic science fiction classic “Dark City,” written and directed by Alex Proyas. This is what your mom was talking about when you told her you wanted to see ‘The Matrix' but she said “No, we have it at home,” with some scenes almost matching shot for shot visually. Perhaps more remarkably is how Dark City tackles similar themes on loan from ancient gnostic philosophy but does so in a way faithful to its science fiction roots in German expressionism where it finds inspiration in the fertile imaginations of Fritz Lang and Albin Grau, the creators of Metropolis and Nosferatu respectively. The result is a film which beneath its slick, noir surface is a thoughtful meditation on the dark side of spirituality, evolution and the destiny of the human soul. In the first half of the show we discuss some of the occult roots of the science fiction genre itself and what it has to do with the Aeon of Horus championed by Aleister Crowley before cutting into the dense symbolism in the film's opening using the Tarot as our guide. In the extended show we visit the abode of Netzach and go deeper into Greek and even Hindu mythology to unpack some of the symbolism used in the film before discussing the overlap between The Strangers and their shadowy, real-life counterparts who manipulate our destiny from the circles beyond time. We hope you brought your Kabbalah glasses because we'll be talking shop in this one.

FUTURE OR NOW Ben: "The Buddhists Know How to Party" might sound like an odd statement, but Ben dives into the Five Remembrances of the Buddha, a reflection on aging, illness, and impermanence. It really got Devon thinking about Stoicism. Curious? You can read them here: I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old. I am of the nature to have ill-health. There is no way to escape having ill-health. I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death. All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change. There is no way to escape being separated from them. My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand. Steven: Steven brings up a serious topic: the insurance crisis in California. State Farm is pulling out of the state due to restrictions on raising rates, leaving them unable to cover major disasters like the LA fires. They currently have about $3 billion, but with an estimated $4 billion needed for payouts, this gap could lead to insolvency. Who's at fault—the state for blocking rate hikes or the companies for not adjusting sooner? Steven urges us not to "Luigi the wrong people" in this situation. BOOK CLUB This Week: We took a deep dive into Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" from The Wind's Twelve Quarters. You can read it here. Ben found it "super fascinating," while Devon unpacked its core themes: a utopia sustained by the suffering of one child and the moral quandary of staying or walking away. Ben summed it up with, "The terror of not knowing keeps people away." Also, Devon joked that Omelas could just be Salem spelled backward—thanks, Oregon road signs! Devon also mused, "Ethics cannot be logically discerned." Next Week: Get ready for Philip K. Dick's "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" (1966). Here's a PDF. And no, Devon—you can't just watch Total Recall instead!

"FORGOTTEN LEADING LADIES FROM THE GOLDEN AGE OF HOLLYWOOD" - 11/18/2024 A friend of mine once said that in Hollywood the toilet flushes every seven years. Meaning after about seven years, no one remembers who you are. Whether that's true or not, there are many classic film stars who were once popular, who have faded away into obscurity. We covered men a few months go, and now we are giving the ladies their due. Join us as we talk about four fabulous actresses who deserve to be remembered — LIZABETH SCOTT, MARIE WINDSOR, ELLA RAINES, and GERALDINE FITZGERALD.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: “Biography of Lizabeth Scott,” August 1951, Paramount Pictures; “Liz Scott Slaps Libel Suit on Confidential Mag,” July 26, 1955, Variety; “Cut Actress Lizabeth Scott Out of Texan's Will,” May 12, 1971, Variety; "Geraldine's Long Journey,” June 13, 1971, New York Times; “Lizabeth Scott,” November 1971, by Don Stanke, Film Fan Magazine; Merv Griffin Interview with Geraldine Fitzgerald, 1977; Arlene Francis Interview with Geraldine Fitzgerald, 1985; Katie Kelly Interview with Geraldine Fitzgerald, 1985; “The Alluring Lizabeth Scott,” February 1993, by David M.
