Well that was a fun ride! This magnetic zero stuff kind of reminds me of Agnes Callard's theory of aspiration, wherein one transforms into a better person by being drawn toward the normative standards of a nonexistent future self.

Episode 33: UTOKing with Alex Ebert                                                           October 25, 2021

Title: On FreQ Theory and Magnetic Zeros                                                               

In Episode 31, Gregg welcomes Alex Ebert. Alex is an American singer-songwriter and composer, best known for being the lead singer and songwriter for the American bands Ima Robot and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. He has won a Golden Globe Award and appeared on the Colbert Show. In this episode, Alex shares his narrative of how his musical career and involvement in the "loudness wars" led him to a series of insights about the nature of waves, frequency consolidations, relations between lack and desire, and the nature of emergence from quantity to qualities. He and Gregg then sync this up with UTOK, especially the iQuad coin, memes, and the upcoming singularity. 

Here is the episode on podbean. Here is a clip on "MEmes" and the singularity.

Here is his Facebook Page. Here is his Twitter handle.
