Pill Pod 181 - Hegelian EGirl Council ft. Jreg

btw, Enneagrams r not that new, it’s been around. I think Ouspensky (Russian mystic) may have developed them. Very popular at Naropa University, and among North American Sufis. I was told I was a 4w5: a #4 with a 5 wing…. Believe it or not, they’re scary accurate on personality……

I think it is interesting that in both the youtube of Hegelian e girls and this podcast episode, the Covid Pandemic is never mentioned. You would think…in terms of historical material causes that this had some generational impact on gen z above all. That it is so obvious yet so repressed kind of says it all…for all of us, not just Gen Z, but….

This is the first time I'm truly glad I'm not familiar with the subject matter so I can experience this chaos in its purest form.

Communism unmoored from a working class consciousness. So basically just a reactionary who probably wasn't raised around a dominant ideology that codes "communism" outright as the devil.

Great episode. I had to consume the Jreg episode of the hegelian egirl council and it was tough. But Jreg managed to lead the discussion surprisingly well and with a straight face. Diego should be in the hegelian egirl council. Same vibes.

My experience of Autism is that it is characterised by a lesser than typical imposition of categorisation, for example nonvervbalism or Pathological Demand Avoidance.

Never expected to see Jreg on the pillpod

Enjoyable content. Also, I enjoyed hearing Jreg on here, as I wasnt entirely sure what to make of him from the podcast he did with the Heg.E-girls. As a millennial I do wonder if it's like how they say wheat domesticated humans during the agricultural revolution, are Zoomers raised by technology in that way? What does that mean for humanity going forward exactly?

Amazing, ty

That sounds dirty. I like it.

Between internet-brained guests such as Diego or Jreg, Jreg was not only entertainment but also sounded way more honest and interesting.

'Vril' comes from Edward Bullwer-Lyton's _The Coming Race_ (from the 1870s), a book which first Theosophists and then later some of the more mystically inclined Nazis were obsessed with due to its themes about hierarchies of races and racial "superpowers". In the book, Vril was a mystical type of energy that those with sufficiently developed skills (and genetics) could wield to kill, heal, etc. The name was probably meant to suggest "viril". From the context in which it was dropped in the episode by jreg it appears to have become slang for male lust directed at hot online girls.

I don’t see what’s troubling about community for its own sake unless you think communities should have other goals? Another thought is that right wingedness isn’t a genetic disposition. Perhaps community could influence someone to the left.

Shits hilarious

I didn’t catch vril, but grok is to grasp/understand something

anacidcommie

Listening back there's a lot I've never heard anyone say, vril? Grok?

Plastic Pills

I lost my shit when jreg was explaining to Victor what a pseud is. And only Pills could manage to squeeze in some legitimately informative theoretical explanations in what is essentially pure shitpost content. Absolutely goated episode, really hope jreg’s invited back in the future.

anacidcommie

Pills you need to get back in your gamer era: some of us still long for a return to something like that Disco Elysium stream!

anacidcommie

Surprisingly good and funny

Pills, speaking of have eboys and aesthetic, did you know there’s a book called Sad Boi Aesthetic that uses Baudrillard and Wittgenstein to talk about juicewrld, post malone, and other rappers?

Jack

My fav eboy is Brakence I love hyperpop

Jack

Lol when I wrote that I had no idea if e-boy was a real thing, but it seems like it is a real thing, a real wiki aesthetic lol didn't know that was a thing either... (doesn't it feel like everything thing you can possibly think of *is already a real thing,* but in the sheer quantity of *new things* it doesn't really have any substance as a real thing lol). I think it's usage for the PillPod would have to be ironic. Perhaps Pill-Bois then. Idk, I really just think it would be spectacular if the PillPod had a theory talk with the or a Hegelian E-Girl(s). https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/E-Boy

ageOfBumFires

Wtf is an eboy?

Plastic Pills

Pray tell, when will the PillPod be embarking as the Millennial E-Boyz to do battle in a Twitch stream with the Hegelian E-girls? There can be only one...

Dr. LibVic

Jack

Even if just so that I can bully LibVic in person

anacidcommie

I’m definitely an Erik sun Pills moon and Erik rising and my victor is in Scorpio

Jack

I’ll try and dig up something citeable where he’s doing what jreg is doing but instead pulling people somewhat more toward “centrism” by contrast though it does seem relevant

pose.human

To be honest I do personally find his writing to be more like pamphlets reflecting the surface level of the sort of stuff your channel has already covered, I’m a subscriber of yours after finding that he doesn’t do much beyond pointing the way to your kind of theory proper — I threw out his name in a more hyperbolic tongue in cheek kind of way but neglected that wouldn’t come across. But I do think a conversation where you guys interrogate his perspective could be interesting

pose.human

I'm asking just because someone recommended him to me, then I met him, then I looked up whatever he'd done lately but it was really uninteresting. If you know where the interesting stuff is hidden I'd like to see that, because his name does kinda float around

Plastic Pills

Not super up to speed but I remember politigram* and the post-left quite well, and in a lot of material/conversation he touches on a lot of similar observations — though from my limited understanding he has a less “accellerationist” perspective than jreg, more of a tendency to look for value to retain within existing status quos? Mainly I just thought of him because he seems to begin his research from similar sorts of taxonomies of signs?

pose.human

What do you like of his?

Plastic Pills

Amazing, next: Joshua Citarella cameo?

pose.human

I found the pill pod from horseshoe theory so I’m hyped for this one

Matt

Yes sir Jreg and pills? The Canada boys? Makes me want to repatriate

Jack

When I saw that this was going to be about the Hegelian e girl council, I knew this was going to be great, but as soon as I saw fucking jregs name there, I knew it was gonna be a legendary episode, well done Pills

anacidcommie

What the fuck I did not expect that notification
