Science Fiction Author D. Colin Palmer

From the upcoming album Getting High at the Church of Science Fiction Fantasy Theater. "Poker With a Writer" is a raw, original track by Johnny Slade that blends grit, storytelling, and the atmosphere of the underground. This music video captures the unique sound and vision that define Johnny Slade’s style.

A long-form monologue on quiet power and first principles: how modern managerial elites manipulate the interface—dashboards, nudges, and metrics—to steer behavior at scale, and why that fluency in models is not the same as truth. Moving from information theory to quantum entanglement, black-hole information, Jungian archetypes, and the Gnostic insistence that there is a second horizon drawing us, it argues that inner sovereignty is the only firmware update tyrants cannot audit. This is a meditation on civil liberties, attention as a scarce resource, and practical methods for “writing through” the interface from within: vows that compile, habits that patch, forgiveness as a security fix, courage as a new primitive. The map is not the territory; the spreadsheet is a shadow that forgot the sun. Walk the territory.

A long-form monologue exploring why Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump can be read through Zen discipline and Native American wisdom: forgiveness as a functional technology, the Sacred Hoop and Seven Generations, the Trickster’s disruption, and the calm axis required to hold a nation together under pressure. We trace a line from public courage to private mercy—how Erika Kirk’s forgiveness (highlighted by Tim Allen) models a physics of the soul—and ask whether leadership can be both disruptive and ceremonial, fierce and compassionate, modern and indigenous. If you’re here for politics, philosophy, and something deeper than the news cycle, this is the one

This intense philosophical monologue journeys across quantum physics, Egyptian mysticism, Machiavellian power dynamics, and chaos theory to explore a startling insight: gambling isn’t just luck—it’s cosmic authorship. Every wager collapses a wave of possibility, forging a new reality where fate, will, and risk converge into fractal creation. This immersive piece explores: Quantum entanglement and the collapse of potential into lived outcome Machiavelli’s Fortuna as a philosophy of strategic chaos Egyptian metaphysics of the Ka, Ba, Duat, and Ma’at as soul mechanics Chaos theory, string vibration, and fractal recursion embedded in risk The observer’s role in shaping reality by witnessing If you’ve ever felt the silence before a card flips... or the chill of fate deciding… this monologue exists within you already. Reality is a game. And the gambler is not merely a player—but the author of the next world.

Science Fiction Author D. Colin Palmer invites you into a copper‑rimmed home poker room—bronze mirroring from Dollarama set into the tabletop, edges burnished to catch a small domestic dawn—on the eve of an October tournament at a Native Canadian (First Nations) casino in his province, a top‑notch room with excellent food and dealers who move like clockwork. This long‑form monologue braids quantum mechanics and theoretical physics with Buddhist philosophy to ask whether reality is a simulated copy of a perfect point of origin that endlessly cascades into ever‑so‑slightly warped iterations—an infinite hall of mirrors where we act in unison with the source while struggling with the paradox of free will and determinism. Along the way: śūnyatā (emptiness) and dharmakāya (ground of being), pratītyasamutpāda (dependent origination), and Indra’s Net refract through the felt; entanglement echoes in table dynamics; karma becomes a probability distribution shaped by intention; and a single chip pushed across that copper edge feels like one bright facet of a boundless lattice. Come for the cards, stay for the cosmology: a grounded, personal reflection on craft, casinos, and the shimmering code we call a life.

In this episode we explore symbolism in poker (reading tables, tells, and probability as living signs), the “Great Dream” that threads meaning through our waking lives, and a brief dive into simulation theory—how code, chance, and consciousness might rhyme. After the talk, enjoy two bonus videos from G Gangsta Liddy for a different vibe and a clean finish. I share the Apache segment with respect and humility; it’s an appreciation, not an attempt to speak for the culture. If I get something wrong, I welcome gentle corrections.

Time is not the straight line we imagine—it is layered, cyclical, and filled with echoes. In this episode we explore the mysteries of existence through science, philosophy, and myth. From nonlinear theories of time to the human search for meaning, we follow the fragile threads that bind the unfinished hour together. This is a journey into the strange, the profound, and the eternal—where every moment may hold more than it seems.

A special double feature exploring mysteries both modern and ancient. First, we journey into parapsychology and a ghost tale from Saint John, New Brunswick, uncovering strange encounters and the timeless fascination with the paranormal. Then, we travel back thousands of years to examine Ancient Egyptian religious texts that may hint at the mysteries of interdimensional travel. From ghostly whispers to cosmic gateways, this feature connects folklore, spirituality, and the unknown into one unforgettable exploration.

What happens when our brains can’t keep up with our machines? This monologue argues that we’re living inside a curated loop—samsara with a silicon spine—where algorithms farm attention, nudge choice, and script our days. We move from Buddhist insights on suffering, no-self, and the Middle Way to Freud’s ego under siege, regression-by-design, and our Oedipal rebellion against AI. Jung’s archetypes reappear as feed mechanics—the Shadow in the black box, the Trickster in memes—while sociology maps the aquarium: stratified classes, echo chambers, deskilled lives, and moderators who can rewrite the rules mid-game. Economics explains the profit of confusion: depreciating human capital, nudges that look like choices, dazzling interfaces masking real stagnation. Then Vonnegut winks from the control room—“So it goes”—as time plays like save files and foma keeps the cursor moving. The exit instructions are simple and hard: treat mindfulness as latency detection, reclaim your Shadow, build offline craft, and hold long-form conversations no algorithm can compress. Are we becoming slaves to our own tech—or players who remember we’re in a game? Don’t let your mind atrophy—read, think, resist the algorithm.
