Podcasts about Thirteenth floor

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes boot up "The Thirteenth Floor" (1999), a mind-bending sci-fi noir that asked big questions about reality... but got completely lost in the shadow of "The Matrix" and "The Phantom Menace".Mike Field and Mike Butler dig into the film's intriguing setup, the classic genre vibes, and a standout performance by Vincent D'Onofrio, but also explore why the second and third acts start to glitch out a bit. Did this film deserve more recognition, or was it simply uploaded too late?Cue the trench coats and CRT monitors—we're diving headfirst into 1999's other simulated reality.So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema. What era would you like to explore in a virtual recreation? Let us know in the comments below!

2:48:03 – Dave in Kentucky reviews the 1973 West German TV miniseries World on a Wire and the 1999 American movie The Thirteenth Floor, as well as the 1964 novel on which they were both based, Simulacron-3 (a.k.a. Counterfeit World), after which he is joined by his wife Luna in Kentucky (at 28:30) for her […]

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. Elon Musk's comments about preparing for survival on Mars are also dissected, with theories about pole shifts and Earth's weakening magnetic field.

Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us. Also, each episode, one of them is an asshole who will probably sabotage the whole thing. This week we discuss 1999's The Thirteenth Floor!

Shane returns to Shane Talks '99 to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the films released in 1999. Shane begins by looking at the Richard Curtis written rom-com "Notting Hill" and discusses his love for Curtis' writing. Things then shift to the very underrated sci-fi drama "The Thirteenth Floor" - which was critically and financially unsuccessful, so Shane digs into the reasons he didn't like it back then, but after a re-watch thinks he knows what went wrong in 1999.

Actor Craig Bierko's film roles include Timothy in the 1996 action film The Long Kiss Goodnight which he credits for being cast in darkly humorous roles such as Max Baer in Cinderella Man opposite Russell Crowe, Tom Ryan in Scary Movie 4 (spoofing Tom Cruise throughout the film), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and The Thirteenth Floor. In 2000 Bierko made his Broadway debut as Professor Harold Hill in Susan Stroman's critically acclaimed revival of Meredith Willson's The Music Man. He played “the jazz guy” Ray King, a love interest for Carrie Bradshaw in the fourth season of Sex and the City, attorney Jeffrey Coho on season three of the ABC television series Boston Legal and one of four newly divorced friends on Fox's short-lived Unhitched. He was cast as Dave Lister in the pilot for the American TV version of the British show Red Dwarf and has appeared twice on TV's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - first as Andy Eckerson, a United States Deputy Marshal who is working with the SVU (and ex-flame Det. Olivia Benson) to recapture an escaped convict and several years later, a serial rapist. He also appeared for four seasons in the Peabody Award-winning series UnREAL as Chet Wilton, the eccentric, drug addicted, womanizing creator of a reality dating show. Recently, he appeared on The Blacklist as The Chairman, the coldly sociopathic head of an underground stock market for criminals and will be seen on season two of the hit Netflix show Sex/Life as a superstar literary agent.

هذه الحلقة منتجت وسجلت بالإشتراك مع بودكاست ستيل شاوت (Steel Shout) أدب السايبربنك يعتبر من أهم الفروع التي ولدت من أدب الخيال العلمي في القرن العشرينما هو الـ(cyberpunk)  في الأدب.يمثل الـ (cyberpunk) نوعًا من أدب الخيال العلمي الذي يتميز بتمحوره حول العالم الافتراضي والتكنولوجيا المتقدمة، كما يتضمن العديد من العناصر الأخرى مثل الجريمة والفساد والتحرر والتمرد، ونوع من القصص الغامضة. يعود أصل الـ (cyberpunk)  إلى الأدب الخيال العلمي الذي ظهر في الستينات والسبعينات من القرن الماضي، ولكنه انتشر وازدهر في الثمانينات والتسعينات، وذلك بفضل العديد من الأعمال الشهيرة التي تناولت هذا الموضوع، مثل رواية "نيرومانسر" للكاتب وليام جيبسون التي صدرت في عام 1984.تعريف (cyberpunk)تأتي كلمة "سايبربانك" أو "سايبربونك" (Cyberpunk) من مزيج بين كلمتين:الأولى هي "سايبرنيتيكس" (Cybernetics) وهي تعني دراسة النظم الآلية والحيوية والتفاعل بينها.يشير مصطلح "سايبرنيتيكس" (Cybernetics) إلى دراسة النظم والآليات والتفاعلات بين الأجزاء المختلفة في الأنظمة الحيوية والآلية. ويتضمن هذا المصطلح فهم العلاقات المتبادلة بين الجزء والكل في النظام، وكيفية تغيير وتحكم الأنظمة في أنفسها.وتشمل مجالات الدراسة في السايبرنيتيكس مثل هذه النظم المختلفة كالأعصاب والغدد، والآليات المتحكمة في الصناعة والتحكم في المرور والملاحة والطيران، والتكنولوجيا الحيوية والطبية، والذكاء الاصطناعي والروبوتات.يعود أصل مصطلح "سايبرنيتيكس" (Cybernetics) إلى اللغة اليونانية، حيث تعني "kybernetes" باللغة اليونانية "الملاح" أو "القائد" أو "المدير". ولقد استخدم هذا المصطلح في اليونان القديمة للإشارة إلى الشخص الذي يدير السفينة ويتحكم في اتجاهها وحركتها. وفي القرن العشرين، أطلق عالم الرياضيات الأمريكي نوربرت وينر (Norbert Wiener) مصطلح "cybernetics" لوصف الدراسة العلمية للتحكم والتواصل في الآلات والأنظمة المعقدة. وقد استخدم وينر هذا المصطلح للإشارة إلى دراسة العمليات التي تحكم الأنظمة المعقدة، سواء كانت هذه الأنظمة آلية أو حية. ومنذ ذلك الحين، انتشر استخدام مصطلح "سايبرنيتيكس" لوصف دراسة نظم التحكم الآلية والحية، وأصبح مصطلحًا شائعًا في العديد من المجالات العلمية والتقنية المختلفة.ومن المهم أن نلاحظ أن السايبرنيتيكس لا تقتصر فقط على النظم الحيوية، بل تشمل أيضًا النظم الآلية والتكنولوجية، وهذا ما يجعلها مفهومًا مهمًا في العديد من المجالات المختلفة، بما في ذلك العلوم الحاسوبية والهندسة والفلسفة والاقتصاد والعلوم الاجتماعية.  والثانية هي "بانك" (Punk) وهي تعني نوعًا من الموسيقى الروك المتمردة والمناهضة للنظام والسلطة وبالتالي، فإن الـ(cyberpunk)  يجمع بين عنصرين رئيسيين: العالم التكنولوجي المتقدم والمتمردة والمناهضة للنظام والسلطة. ويتناول هذا النوع من الأدب عادة العالم الافتراضي والتقنية المتطورة بطريقة متمردة ومناهضة للنظام، ويتضمن الكثير من العناصر الاجتماعية والسياسية والثقافية المعاصرة.يُعرف مصطلح "بانك" (Punk) بشكل لغوي على أنه نوع من الموسيقى الروك المتمردة والمعارضة للنظام والسلطة، والتي ظهرت في السبعينيات من القرن الماضي. ويشار في قاموس أكسفورد الإنجليزي إلى أن كلمة "بانك" تعني بشكل عام شخصاً أو شيئاً يتمتع بالقوة والعنف والتمرد والانفصال عن النظام السائد. ويمكن أن يُستخدم مصطلح "بانك" لوصف أي شيء يتميز بالتمرد والمعارضة للسلطة والنظام، وليس فقط في عالم الموسيقى الروك. وعلى سبيل المثال، يمكن استخدام هذا المصطلح لوصف حركات اجتماعية وثقافية وفنية أخرى، مثل حركات الشباب المتمردة وحركات المقاومة السياسية والفنانين الذين يسعون لتحدي النظام السائد.بروس بيثكي (Bruce Bethke) هو كاتب أمريكي ولد في عام 1955، وهو معتبر أحد رواد الأدب السايبربانكي. وقد نشر بيثكي في عام 1980 قصة قصيرة بعنوان "Cyberpunk" في مجلة "Amazing Science Fiction". وقد تم استخدام هذه القصة لاحقًا كدليل لتحديد الأدب السايبربانكي. تتناول قصة بيثكي العالم الخيالي والمستقبلي والذي يتميز بتكنولوجيا متقدمة وتمحوره حول شخصية مخترق حاسوبي يقوم بسرقة بيانات مهمة. وقد اشتهرت هذه القصة بسبب استخدام كلمة "سايبربانك" في عنوانها، والتي أصبحت بعد ذلك مصطلحاً مشهوراً في الأدب والثقافة الشعبية. وقد كتب بيثكي العديد من القصص الخيالية والروايات، وأصبحت له بعض الأعمال الأخرى مثل "Headcrash" و "Wild Wild West" و "Redbeard" و "Rebel Moon"، وقد تم ترشيح روايته "Headcrash" لجائزة نيبولا في عام 1995. وبالإضافة إلى كونه كاتباً، فإن بيثكي يعمل أيضاً في مجال تكنولوجيا المعلومات والحوسبة، ويشغل حالياً منصب مدير تقنية المعلومات في إحدى الشركات الأمريكية.تصريح بروس ستيرلينغ "combination of lowlife and high tech" ليس تعريفًا محددًا للسايبربنك، وإنما هو وصف للجو العام الذي يمكن أن يتميز به عالم السايبربنك. ففي هذا الوصف، يركز ستيرلينغ على تحدُّث السايبربنك عن النزلاء الرَّخاء والمتعطشين للمتع الجسدية والأمور غير المشروعة، والتكنولوجيا العالية والحديثة التي تستخدمها هؤلاء الأشخاص في تحقيق ما يريدونه. ويتناول ستيرلينغ هذا المفهوم في روايته الشهيرة "المرآة الشعورية" (Mirrorshades)، وهي مجموعة من القصص القصيرة التي تعتبر أحد الأعمال الأساسية في أدب السايبربنك.ومع ذلك، يمكن القول أن هذا الوصف ينطبق بشكل عام على أعمال السايبربنك، حيث يتميز هذا النوع الأدبي بتحقيق التوازن بين الجوانب العالية التكنولوجية والجوانب الأكثر شعبية والمرتبطة بالعالم السفلي والجريمة المنظمة. وتنتمي روايات وليام جيبسون وبروس يرلينغ وغيرهما من الكتَّاب إلى هذا النوع الأدبي، ويتعاملون في أعمالهم مع قضايا تتعلق بالتكنولوجيا المتقدمة والحياة الافتراضية والتحديات الاجتماعية والثقافية التي تنشأ بسببها. وتجمع هذه الأعمال بين الجوانب العالية التكنولوجية والجوانب الأكثر شعبية والمرتبطة بالعالم السفلي، وتتميز بأسلوب سريع الإيقاع وشخصيات مثيرة للاهتمام، كما تستخدم لغة فيها الكثير من المصطلحات التقنية والحاسوبية.وبشكل عام، يجمع وصف بروس ستيرلينغ "combination of lowlife and high tech" بين هذه الجوانب، ويعكس الجانب الغامض والمثير للاهتمام في أدب السايبربنك، الذي يتميز بتحقيق التوازن بين العالم الافتراضي والعالم الحقيقي وبين الجوانب الفنية والتكنولوجية والجوانب الاجتماعية والثقافية.عناصر السايبربنك الأدبي:·       الجوالـ (Dystopian):o      تحكم وتملك المنظمات والشركات للمجتمع.o      طبقية الرأسماليةo      حياة وضيعة.o

عام 1968:o      نوفا هي رواية خيال علمي من تأليف الكاتب الأمريكي صموئيل ديلاني ونشرت في عام 1968. تستكشف الرواية، التي تصنف رسميًا كعمل فضائي، السياسة والثقافة في مستقبل يتسم بانتشار تقنية السايبورج بشكل شامل (والرواية واحدة من سلفيات السايبربانك)، ولكن يمكن أن تنطوي صناعة القرارات الكبرى على استخدام بطاقات التاروت. تحمل الرواية نغمات أسطورية قوية، وترتبط على حد سواء بمسألة البحث عن الكأس المقدسة وبقصة جايسون والأرجونوتيكا والسعي للحصول على الصوف الذهبي. تم ترشيح نوفا لجائزة هيوغو لأفضل رواية في عام 1969. في عام 1984، قام ديفيد برينجل بإدراجها ضمن قائمته لأفضل 100 رواية خيال علمي كتبت منذ عام 1949. ملخص القصةفي عام 3172، تنقسم السلطة السياسية في المجرة إلى فصيلين: فصيل دراكو الموجود على الأرض وفصيل الاتحاد الثريد الذي ظهر في وقت لاحق. كلاهما لديه اهتمامات في المستعمرات الخارجية الأحدث، حيث تنتج المناجم كميات قليلة من المصدر القيم إليريون، وهو مادة فائقة الثقل ضرورية للسفر الفضائي وتغيير مناخ الكواكب.يتورط قائد مهووس ومشوه من الاتحاد الثريد، لورك فون راي، في صراع بين العائلات الأرستقراطية والاقتصادية القوية، فيجند فريقًا متنوعًا من المختلفين لمساعدته في السباق مع عدوه اللدود، الأمير ريد من شركة ريد شيفت المرتبطة بفصيل دراكو، للحصول على الزعامة الاقتصادية عن طريق تأمين كمية هائلة من إليريون مباشرة من قلب نجم نوفا. وبذلك، سيحدث فون راي تحولًا في توازن القوى في النظام الكوني الحالي، مما سيؤدي إلى سقوط العائلة الحمراء ونهاية سيطرة الأرض على السياسة الفضائية بين النجوم.تتبع الرواية مغامرات فريق فون راي في محاولة الحصول على إليريون من نوفا، حيث يتعرضون للعديد من المصاعب والتحديات، بما في ذلك مواجهة العدو، والتعامل مع الأسرار الغامضة المرتبطة بنوفا نفسها، وكذلك الاستكشاف العميق لشخصيات الأعضاء المختلفين في الفريق.في نهاية المطاف، يتمكن فون راي وفريقه من الحصول على الإليريون من نوفا، ويتغلبون على الأمير ريد وشركته، مما يؤدي إلى تحويل التوازن في السياسة الفضائية بين الفصيلين. وبالتالي، ينتهي السيطرة الأرضية على السياسة الفضائية، وتبدأ مرحلة جديدة في تاريخ المجرة. ·       رواية (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep) لـ (Philip K. Dick) عام 1968:o      هي رواية خيال علمي كتبها الكاتب الأمريكي فيليب ك. ديك، وصدرت عام 1968. تدور أحداث الرواية في المستقبل البعيد بعد أن تعرضت الأرض لحرب نووية دمرت جزءا كبيرا منها وأدت إلى إنقراض الحيوانات وتحكي قصة ريك ديكارد، الذي يعمل كصائد للروبوتات المتمردة التي تشبه البشر، ويتم تكليفه بمهمة القضاء على ستة من هذه الروبوتات المتمردة. هذه الرواية تشتمل على بعض العناصر التي يمكن وصفها بالسايبرنك، مثل الروبوتات والذكاء الاصطناعي، يمكن اعتبار هذه الرواية الأم لفيلم "Blade Runner" الذي صدر في عام 1982 والذي يعتبر من أهم الأعمال في فن السايبرنك.تدور قصة الحيوانات في الرواية حول شخصية ريك ديك، الذي يعمل كصائد للحيوانات النادرة، وذلك لكسب نقاط مادية تتيح له شراء حيوان حقيقي بدلاً من حيوان اصطناعي. ويحلم ريك بامتلاك حيوان طائر "البطريق الإمبراطوري"، وهو الحيوان النادر الذي يساعده على التفرد والتميز في مجتمع موحد.تعتبر قصة الحيوانات والتركيز على الرغبة في امتلاك حيوانات حقيقية، رمزًا للحاجة إلى التميز والاهتمام بالطبيعة والحيوانات، وكذلك للعلاقة بين الإنسان والطبيعة في عالم مستقبلي متغير. وتعد هذه القصة أحد المحاور الرئيسية في الرواية التي تتناول موضوعات أخرى مثل الهوية الإنسانية الواقعية والذاتية والمجتمعية والروبوتات والذكاء الاصطناعي، والتي تركز على القضايا الأخلاقية والفلسفية المتعلقة بالحياة والوجود والتعايش في عالم متغير ومعقد.رواية (Neuromancer) للكاتب الأمريكي ويليام جيبسون عام 1984 م:تعد من أولى روايات السايبربانك. تعتبر من أهم الأعمال الأدبية في هذا النوع، حيث أنها قدمت للقراء نموذجاً جديداً للأدب العلمي والخيال العلمي، يستخدم فيه (جيبسون) تقنيات ومفاهيم حديثة كالحوسبة والشبكات والذكاء الاصطناعي والروبوتات والتجارة الإلكترونية، وجعل منها عناصر رئيسية في قالب قصته المثيرة والمشوقة. وقد فازت هذه الرواية بجائزة نيبولا لأفضل رواية علمية خيالية في عام 1984.بطلها كيس، وهو هاكر حاسوب عاطل عن العمل يتم استئجاره من قبل صاحب عمل جديد غامض يدعى أرميتاج. يتم تشكيل فريق مع مولي، السايبورغ، وبيتر ريفيرا، اللص والخادع، لتنفيذ سلسلة من الجرائم التي تمهد الطريق للهدف النهائي للمجموعة، والذي يتم تنفيذه في محطة الفضاء المدارية المسماة "فريسايد"، موطن عائلة تيسييه-أشبول الثرية. تم إنشاء اثنين من الذكاءات الاصطناعية (AIs)، وينترميوت ونيورومانسر ، التي هي قوية لدرجة أنها يمكن أن تتصل ببعضها البعض في نقطة واحدة فقط. يتعلم كيس وزملاؤه أنهم تم استئجارهم من قبل وينترميوت لكسر الفصل بين الذكاءات الاصطناعية. يتغلب كيس ومولي على التدخلات القانونية السيبرانية ومحاولة خيانة من ريفيرا لدمج وينترميوت مع نيورومانسر، وينتهي الأمر بكيس يعيش في عالم جديد شجاعأفلام:·        Escape from New York (1981)[40][41]·        Burst City (1982)[42]·        Tron (1982)[43]·        Blade Runner (1982)[44]·        Brainstorm (1983)[45]·        Videodrome (1983)[46]·        Repo Man (1984)·        The Terminator (1984)·        Brazil (1985)·        RoboCop (1987)[47]·        The Running Man (1987)·        Gunhed (1989)[48]·        Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)·        Circuitry Man (1990)[49]·        RoboCop 2 (1990)·        Hardware (a.k.a.

Geoff Shullenberger returns to Psyop Cinema, continuing his conversation with Thomas about Roland Emmerich. Having previously covered the depopulation themes of Emmerich's disaster trilogy, Geoff and Thomas first consider the unabashed elitism and glorification of the manipulative artist found in Anonymous, before looking at how Stargate, The Thirteenth Floor, and Moonfall portray gnosticism, AI, ancient astronaut theory, and the simulation hypothesis. Emmerich's filmmaking quality may be uneven, but he couldn't be more consistent about his message that humanity needs to hand over control to an overclass of artistic geniuses and technical managers whose knowledge makes them worthy to rule the rest of us. They also discuss a recent book review where Geoff describes how declining sperm counts threaten humanity and possible responses to this problem.https://outsidertheory.com/https://twitter.com/g_shullenbergerhttps://compactmag.com/https://www.marsreview.org/issue2/our-precious-bodily-fluids-by-geoff-shullenberger-~fotfeb-diblenhttps://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttps://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Click below for the transcript Transcript Just a note before I begin, this episode deals with mental illness and with the methods, close to torture, used to treat it in the middle of the last century, so anyone for whom that's a delicate subject may want to skip this one. There's a term that often gets used about some musicians, "outsider music", and it's a term that I'm somewhat uncomfortable with. It's a term that gets applied to anyone eccentric, whether someone like Jandek who releases his own albums through mail order and just does his own thing, or someone like Hasil Adkins who made wild rockabilly music, or an entertainer like Tiny Tim who had a bizarre but consistent view of showbusiness, or a band like the Shaggs who were just plain incompetent, or people like Wesley Willis or Wild Man Fischer who had serious mental health problems. The problem with the term is that it erases these differences, and that it assumes that the most interesting thing about the music is the person behind it. It also erases talent, especially in the case of mentally ill artists. There are several mutually incompatible assumptions about creative artists who have mental health problems. One is that their music should be treated like a freak show, and either appreciated for that reason (if you're someone who gets their entertainment from someone else's suffering) or disdained (if you don't want to do that). Other people think that the mental illness *makes* the music, that great art comes from mental health problems, while yet others will argue that someone's art has nothing at all to do with their mental health, and is not influenced by it in any way. All of these positions are, of course, wrong. Mental illness doesn't stop someone from making great art -- except when it takes away the ability to make art at all of course -- people like Brian Wilson or Vincent Van Gogh are testament to that, and their best work has nothing to do with a freak show. But nor does it grant the ability to make great art. Someone with no musical talent who develops schizophrenia just becomes a schizophrenic person with no musical talent. But to say that mental illness doesn't affect the work is also nonsense. Everything about someone's life affects their art, especially something as important as their mental health. And the real problem with these labels comes with those artists who don't manage to develop a substantial body of work before their illness sets in. Those with real musical talent, but who end up getting put in the outsider artist bucket because their work is so obviously affected by their illness. And one of those is Roky Erickson, of the Thirteenth Floor Elevators. Erickson started his career aged fifteen with a group based in Austin, Texas, called the Spades -- and I hope that this wasn't intended as a racial slur, as the word was sometimes used at this time. Their first single, "We Sell Soul", released in 1965, shows the clear influence of "Gloria" by Them: [Excerpt: The Spades, "We Sell Soul"] That was a regional hit, and so their second single, the first song that Erickson had ever written, was recorded in the same style: [Excerpt: The Spades, "You're Gonna Miss Me"] But by December 1965, Erickson had left the Spades, and joined Stacy Sutherland, Benny Thurman, and John Ike Walton, the members of another band called the Lingsmen. They were joined by a fifth man, Tommy Hall, who became the band's lyricist, liner-note writer, and general spokesman, and who played an electric jug, creating an effect somewhere between bubbling and a wobble board. Hall started calling the group's music "psychedelic rock" in late 1965 after being influenced by Timothy Leary, and I've seen some people say he was the first person ever to use the term. The group released a rerecorded version of "You're Gonna Miss Me" on a small local label: [Excerpt: The Thirteenth Floor Elevators, "You're Gonna Miss Me"] That was released in January 1966, and later picked up by a larger label, International Artists, which was the home of a lot of Texan psychedelic bands, like the Golden Dawn and the Red Crayola. It spent most of the year slowly climbing the charts, eventually reaching number fifty-five -- the highest chart position the group would ever have. It was included on their debut album, The Psychedelic Sounds of the Thirteenth Floor Elevators, released towards the end of the year, by which time Thurman had been replaced by Ronnie Leatherman on bass. The album's liner notes were written by Hall and had a large amount of advocacy for the use of psychedelic drugs -- as did the music itself, though some of this was a little more subtle, like the song "Fire Engine", where the line "let me take you to the empty place" was meant to sound like "DMT place", DMT being a psychedelic drug: [Excerpt: The Thirteenth Floor Elevators, "Fire Engine"] Around this time, the band crossed paths with Janis Joplin, who was a big fan of the group and who they tried to get to join them, but Joplin decided to move to California instead. Tommy Hall was a huge advocate for both the potential of LSD to open people's minds, and of the general semantics of Alfred Korzybski, and his enthusiasm for both showed up on the group's second album. Unfortunately, not all of the group were of quite the same mind, and Leatherman and Walton left early in the sessions for that album, Easter Everywhere, which was considered not quite up to the standards of the previous album, though Erickson and Hall's eight-minute long "Slip Inside This House" is a favourite of most of the fans. [Excerpt: The Thirteenth Floor Elevators, "Slip Inside This House"] Unfortunately, the band started to disintegrate. The core of Erickson, Hall, and Sutherland remained together, but various bass players and drummers came and went -- though one of the band's rhythm sections, Duke Davis and Danny Thomas, was good enough that the band's label got them to back Lightnin' Hopkins on his album Free Form Patterns. According to reports I've read, Davis and Thomas were both on acid during the session, but they still play solidly throughout: [Excerpt: Lightnin' Hopkins, "Give Me Time to Think"] Another potential bass player at this point was a roommate of Erickson's, who Erickson tried to get into the band but who Hall turned down. Townes Van Zandt later went on to rather bigger things. Erickson also started to have some mental problems -- apparently taking LSD literally every day for years is not great for you. And when he was arrested for marijuana possession, he decided to use his mental health as a way to get out of a potential ten-year jail sentence, by getting three years in a psychiatric hospital instead. He later claimed that he was lying about his problems and acting mad to get this sentence, but he had been having problems before then. Hall and Sutherland and their current rhythm section finished up a few demos, and the record label put out one final album made up of outtakes, plus a faked live album with crowd noise overdubbed on some earlier studio recordings, but with their lead singer in hospital for three years the band split up. Hall became a Scientologist and quit the music industry altogether. If Erickson *was* faking his illness when he went into the hospital, he wasn't faking it by the time he came out. Psychiatric medicine was still in its infancy then. It's far from wonderful today, but at least in general you can be relatively sure that the treatment won't make you worse. That wasn't the case in the late sixties and early seventies, and Erickson was forced through multiple sessions of electro-shock therapy. (To be clear, electro-shock therapy can sometimes be effective for some conditions when done properly and with the patient's consent. This wasn't either.) When Erickson finally got out, he tried to put his life back together, and formed a new band called Bleib Alien, later renamed Roky Erickson and the Aliens, who made hard rock records with lyrics about science fiction and horror themes like zombies, fire demons, medical experimentation, and two-headed dogs: [Excerpt: Roky Erickson and the Aliens, "Two-Headed Dog"] Erickson became a cult artist, cited as an influence by everyone from Henry Rollins to ZZ Top, and intermittently released recordings for the next few decades, but he spent much of the time dealing with severe, untreated, schizophrenia. There are many stories about this time that get shared, and are easy to find online, but which I'm not going to repeat here because they tend to be shared in a freak-show manner. But by 2001 he was placed in the legal custody of his brother . This kind of situation is often abused, but in Erickson's case it seems to have done him good. His brother got him legal and medical help, and helped him start finally receiving royalties on some of his records. There was a one-off fiftieth anniversary reunion of most of the living original members of the Thirteenth Floor Elevators, and in 2010 Erickson released his finest album, a collaboration with the band Okkervil River, True Love Cast Out All Evil: [Excerpt: Roky Erickson and Okkervil River, "Ain't Blues Too Bad"] By all accounts the last years of Erickson's life were happier and more comfortable than any he'd had. He got to tour the world, playing for appreciative crowds, he got his schizophrenia under control, and he was able to live a relatively independent life, and to know that new generations of musicians admired his work. He died in 2019, aged seventy-one.

Intuition, the thirteenth floor I find it funny buildings ignore the thirteenth floor, thinking by not naming it thirteen, there's no thirteenth floor. It is a perception we accept. We all pretend there is no thirteenth floor, even though it is only in the name. Intuition is similar, referenced through many different names and incidents, but we never ask questions or call out the obvious.  1st Example: "Give me a read on that person."  2nd Example: "The company was nearly in bankruptcy, but I knew (or my intuition told me) we would be in a better position in the next year.  Key Points: No matter how much we pretend something doesn't exist, it still exists.  We open up a new enlightening conversation by acknowledging and calling out what exists.  Know that intuition is always there. It is always available no matter what you name it, no matter what you name it. Ask about and knowledge intuition in all aspects of your life and business. We play funny tricks on ourselves like renaming the thirteenth floor, the fourteenth floor, just as we do with renaming or glossing over intuition in business. Until next time, keep it simple, be at ease with yourself, trust your intuition with light the way.
