Over the course of a 2+ hour interview with Ricky Varandas on the Ripple Effect podcast last week, we discussed:

The effect that AI might have on the arts (my Substack The Posthumous Style is dedicated to critiquing AI and transhumanism).

The fact that Jeffrey Epstein funded the Santa Fe Institute before I was there in the early naughts and why he was ultimately disappointed in the research there. My book The Biologist Mistress was written at SFI. That convo starts around :30.

Close to the hour mark, we talk about how conspiracy theories are becoming mainstream due to the partial Epstein file release, my 9/11 truth novel Locus Amoenus, and about solutions to the current political mess.

Near the end, we discuss The Girlie Playhouse, Nabokov, who was my biggest influence for that book, and how female sexuality is censored while child porn is not. Here are three 3-minute clips that feature The Girlie Playhouse:
