Text me your thoughts about our podcast! Or just what you had for dinner last night....

Welcome to the Infinite Harmony Podcast! Join us for a sometimes un-nerving journey into the world of Scott Alexander's Moloch, inspired by the Allan Ginsberg poem of the same name.

Have you ever felt that underneath the current of darkness that often overcomes the human soul is something far more powerful that we are? That despite our striving for goodness that we are powerless to stop the machine that is society from devouring the world? Enter Moloch, the collective mind's demon, whose blood runs on money and progress.

This episode looks at the nature of consensus reality, of multi-polar traps, the power of capitalism and if we humans really can thwart the end of the world.

Discover the golden threads that weave us all together.

This episode contains imagery that may not be suitable for young children as well as un-beeped swear words for dramatic effect.
