What Can AI Pornography Show Us About Having “The Experience?”

This week’s episode is about the inner reality of our experience- actually, specifically, that our experience is being had by us and only us.

It was inspired by this Instagram video on @mantalks where a gentleman was talking about it being time to “let go of porn,” as within years, all of the online porn/chat sites will be led by AI, and not a human.

My question is- “What does it matter?”

Through my analysis, I show how not only does it not matter, but more broadly, how the experience you’re having is unique to you and only you.

And also, while it’s true that it might be time to let go of porn, AI running the show has very little to do with it.

Brutally Sober: A No-Bullshit Conversation with Joe Conley

On this week’s episode of the Get the F*ck Off Podcast, I had the true pleasure of having a conversation with Joe Conley, host of the Brutally Sober podcast, and the Alcoholics Anonymous Deprogramming Podcast on YouTube.

This conversation was very raw and real and explored many topics such as Joe’s experience in rehab, Alcoholics Anonymous, the science of drinking, our personal struggles with alcohol both past and present, sobriety during COVID, spirituality, enlightenment, identity, and being a fucking curmudgeon.

I absolutely loved talking with Joe and hearing about his life and experiences.
