Thomas and Brett are joined by Paul and Phillip Collins to discuss their book Invoking the Beyond. The Collins brothers’ research details how the ideology of techno-utopianism replaces the divine with counterfeits such as AI, superweapons, or extraterrestrial ‘gods,’ using these surrogates to epistemically overwhelm humanity and push for the creation of a ‘New Man.’ They get into the historical and philosophical aspects of this elite religion of “the beyond,” focusing on the increasingly mainstreamed UFO-psyop. Discussing UFO-spirituality gives the guys the chance to analyze a Spielberg film for the first time on the show, as they unpack the creepy infantilizing messaging of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
