California Weltgeist II - Origin of a Dream (Exclusive)
Added 2024-01-14 21:26:27 +0000 UTCThis is a ride, it was fascinating for me to put together, so I hope it is worth your time. Sources are Rush to Gold: The French and the California Gold Rush 1848-1854 (2013) by Malcolm J. Rohrbough, White Noise (1985) by DeLillo, Slouching Towards Bethlehem (1968) and Where I was From (2003) by Joan Didion.

Great video! just a note about one interesting point about the growth of California being government reliant. Even now I have heard as a political gotcha in the United States that “red states take more government money and welfare than blue states”. I can see a Californian saying this.

2024-02-11 04:45:51 +0000 UTCHowever, the myth of CA does continue by other means. Its virtually mapped simulated second cummings resurrects in the feeds of NFL goldminer’s California dreamin’: with the 49ers and Taylor Swift’s Chiefs carrying the overexposed secret of the dream of ‘stardom born’ over the PsyOp end zone of Kapitalism.

2024-01-25 06:10:35 +0000 UTCProbably late to this, haven’t read all California related comments but I presume you’ve also been delving into Malcolm Harris’ tome about Pało Alto? Enjoying these more , ahem, interdisciplinary forays and seeing how they connect to all your other content, keep going

2024-01-15 16:46:32 +0000 UTCBravo! Encore. I look forward to the next chapter. I write this comment living next to the Trans American Pryamid and the site where the Australian crime bosses were hung in the 1850's. (The Barbary Coast) We're all wondering about the new and next frontier. Now listening to the Grateful Dead "Estimated Prophet."
