Day Two (May 23, 2025): Willie the Whit & Anticipating the "Memory Engines"UPCOMING LIVE WORKSHOP ON 5/25/25 WITH DR. ANTHONY METIVIER ON MEMORY ENGINES!!!Today, we're building on the foundation laid by previous Magnetic Memory workshops. Willie the Whit isn't just guessing what the "Memory Engines" are; he's using his already established understanding of Magnetic Imagery and Memory Palaces to anticipate how these new encoding "engines" will fit into and enhance his existing framework. The upcoming workshop isn't a completely new language, but a deeper dive into the grammar of effective memory input.Willie the Whit's Pre-Anticipated "Memory Engines" (Informed by Past MMM Workshops:Given Anthony's focus on "poor encoding" and "Magnetic Imagery," these "Engines" are likely mechanisms for making those images more effective at the crucial point of input.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with a chat about the recent thunderous weather sweeping through town and Kyle's garden, which looks ready to burst into life at any moment. But the calm ends there. Soon, they dive headfirst into a series of bizarre and unsettling encounters—starting with a terrifying goblin-like figure that manifested in a woman's living room, followed by a massive, hair-covered humanoid with glowing white eyes that reportedly crossed a lonely highway near Ft. Irwin, California. And that's just the beginning... After the break, Cam unravels one of the strangest unsolved incidents of World War II—the chilling tale of the Ghost Blimp of 1942. On the morning of August 16th, in the normally uneventful suburb of Daly City, California, something unexplainable pierced the sky. Around 11:30 a.m., a Navy blimp—silent and sagging—drifted low over rooftops, its movements strange and unnatural. Without warning, it descended, brushing against a house on Bellevue Avenue before gliding onward like a lost soul, finally becoming ensnared in a web of power lines. Sparks erupted, electricity danced violently through the air, and the massive airship collapsed in a heap of twisted metal and torn fabric. Engines smashed into the pavement. Propellers bent like soft wire. Gasoline spilled into the streets. Residents ran toward the chaos, drawn by curiosity, fear, or both. Police and fire crews rushed to intervene, pushing back the growing crowd and preparing to rescue the blimp's crew. But there were no men aboard. Not a soul. The gondola was eerily empty. The doors were sealed. The parachutes were untouched. The Ghost Blimp had returned... without its pilots. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!
