You know how I keep saying that "AI" people since the 90s & 2000s all have the same metaphysical commitments & that the best way to understand them is through the lenses of comparative religious studies in new religious movements, mythmaking, & occult studies?

1. Carry on Screaming. Specifically, Oddbod. More specifically, the way Oddbod's finger falls off, Kenneth Williams puts it in a device and grows a whole other Oddbod. I don't know why, but as a kid this absolutely freaked me—the fuck—out.
