Twilight at the Point of Origin

This episode features two intense, long-form monologues from science fiction author D. Colin Palmer. The first is a deep Jungian–Buddhist examination of collective insanity, societal breakdown, and the archetypal forces that drive civilizations toward darkness and potential renewal. The second is a theoretical physics journey through a “hall of mirrors” universe, where quantum mechanics, holography, and information theory are explained from the viewpoint of a dealer at the Point of Origin, calmly laying out the structure of reality like cards on a cosmic table. Designed for serious listeners, text-to-speech, and late-night reflection, this piece is part philosophy lecture, part psychoanalytic field report, and part quantum thought experiment.
