We spark up the Anchoret HQ sauna, 1000% immersive schvitz. Also pain, demons, orbs. What is the meaning of pain? We’re stuck between “Western Medicine” and cascades of wellness cults. Pain as incommunicable (Elaine Scarry-pilled). That feeling of amniotic suspension in the cosmos. Hank meets an orb. Nick can’t articulate the movement of Spirit. RIP Blaze Foley. We praise Tao Lin’s Leave Society for giving form to the struggle against pain-as-alienation.

Like Serj Tankian said:

“SPIRIT MOVES THROUGH ALL THINGS… SCIENCE HAS FAILED OUR MOTHER EARTH.”
