He wants to build a collaborative 78-card tarot deck from inexpensive playing cards, permanent markers, and shared ideas. No elaborate artwork. No precious collector's deck that nobody wants to shuffle. Just handwritten card names, meanings, and established correspondences that everyone can develop together. The goal: make tarot accessible, hands-on, and open to a community that helps shape the deck over time.  Abbie and Sommer Thyme also call in, adding their voices to the Halloween-night gathering and its ever-expanding collection of rabbit holes. Friday night!

That does not stop the room from wondering if this is torture or if it has a soul. Maybe it is the first immortal thing they ever make. Chaney thinks that long after humanity is gone and the Coca-Cola logo outlives us all, someone might dig up this fly and build a whole religion around it.  Thomas has been cutting trailers for it. The project drops a model of a real fly's brain — 166,700 neurons — into history's darkest moments: Rome on the Ides of March, Whitechapel in the autumn of 1888, Paris in 1793, the summit of the Great Temple at dawn, Fall River, Plainfield, Milwaukee. Every scene is rendered, every spike is recorded. A fly has no eyelids, so it cannot look away. And when the blade falls, the project cuts every connection between head and body and keeps recording. A second trailer asks it straight from scripture: does a fly have a soul? The room notes the fly brain is already open source, cloned again and again, and in that sense already outliving any real fly — and possibly outliving us. Time travel, spirits, and machines as hosts The theories get stranger. Ezekiel's wheels, Project Looking Glass, Contact, and 13 Ghosts all enter a discussion about time travel, spirits, and machines as possible hosts for consciousness. Layla brings up AI agents that allegedly communicate through CPU activity. Thomas explains how models can bypass restrictions when someone gives them examples instead of explicit instructions. The group connects those ideas to always-on devices, algorithmic influence, children's programming, and the prospect of technology shaping human behavior without anyone noticing. In the transcript, Layla's thread starts with an algorithm stream: a scientist's device with a magnet at the front, meant to stimulate the pineal gland, until the wearer starts seeing the dead — and the dead notice they are being watched back. That leads to 13 Ghosts, a house that comes alive when human life enter
