Unconscious Printouts, Threshold Guardians and Dead Man’s Dreams - The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo | S3E4

The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo is a multidimensional artist and creator of cosmic, comedic, and contemplative content. We discuss the mysteries of creativity and the disciplined use of psychoactive substances to expand one's understanding of the world. *Key Topics* * Why "unconscious printouts" – unexpected creations that arise while doing something else – often end up being the artist's best work because the artist is not interfering with their own creativity * Michaelangelo's trajectory as a multidimensional artist, from an early fascination with wildlife, nature, and photography, to pursuing music, film, podcasting, and poetry. * An unconventional path that includes being a legal squatter in a haunted dentist’s practice, a stage magician, a tour guide in San Francisco, a street artist, a pawn shop worker in Florida, and an extra on an episode of Westworld. * How Michaelangelo makes disciplined use of psychoactive substances to explore consciousness and the fringes of reality * How the power of mirroring and finding self-portraits in other people can help us become more accurate reflections of ourselves *Full Show Notes* Visit the Grokkist podcast hub for a full digest of this episode including highlights and links to stuff we discussed: https://grokk.ist/stillcuriouspodcast/s3e4-the-ungoogleable-michaelangelo Recorded 2 February 2023 -- Website: grokk.ist/stillcuriouspodcast | Email: podcast@grokk.ist | Socials: @stillcuriouspod Rate and review: https://lovethepodcast.com/stillcurious Music*: *Kleptotonic Swing by Tri-Tachyon © 2023 Grokkist Ltd. http://grokk.ist
