Not Quite the Witching Hour | Episode 1
Towards a Post-Woke World
In this episode of my new podcast, I reflect upon the instant sense of positive change many of us experienced in the wake of the Trump election victory. How new potentials and opportunities are now available, and also how we should not be too gloating concerning laughing at some of the people who are in the depths of the despair right now. In some cases, their Trump Derangement Syndrome is clearly a vehicle for deeper unresolved issues. However, some of these TikTok and other social media 'rage' videos also show people who appear to demonically possessed and the entity inside them is responding to a kind of social exorcism.
This way of doing your Vlog sit's very well with me Thomas and will be my early morning listening. You were talking about the witching hour which when I rise and it got me to realise that the reason I go to bed around eight pm is that the early night holds nothing for me only tiredness and incoherent thinking and boredom . where as to wake early after a rested sleep provides so much more to my life and also gives me that thinking space before the work day begins.
Looking forward to this in the future and the comment section too.
A new age alright. I wonder too if the extremely negative reaction in some quarters to Trump's victory is, as you say, "a kind of social exorcism".
In some cases the reaction is so irrational and emotional that it could not be based on any 'normal' political differences. Is it a more instinctive response based on a deeply-felt fear of what is to hit them personally? No one is saying it openly of course, but the terror is becoming palpable.
