Pointing in the Continuum
Manage episode 301709133 series 2815874
In this episode, Oyani and Dr. Ray present an argument defending their use of the word spirit using the character Colin Robinson from "What We Do in the Shadows".
In the episode "Spirits & Waveforms", the hosts define spirit in terms of how something programs the universe and how it is programmed by the universe. This associates the concept of spirit with how the universe evolves during an interaction. Given this definition, the hosts argue that they are removing the supernatural aspects from the word while keeping most of its historic connotation to communicate precisely. This is related to Colin Robinson since he is an energy vampire, not a traditional vampire who sucks blood. Despite this, he is still understood to be a vampire by the audience. Further, by making him a vampire that feeds on negative emotion, he represents a person, like an internet troll, who spreads misery for their own sustenance. Since this archetypal spirit exists in real life, the show demonstrates how the concept of vampire can manifests itself in reality by keeping some traits of the vampire while removing others. It is in this sense that the hosts justify their use of the word spirit while removing the supernatural.
