An incredibly inspiring day spent with a local friend from a private vinyl FB community. He lugged over the massive modular synth he'd built and we jammed out for a bit.
A fellow INTJ, we had a spirited day-long discussion from brunch to dinner spanning all of our favorite subjects including hacktivism activities, engineering, anticapitalism, anti-theism, anti-authoritarianism, practical applications of anarchism, rational skepticism, conspiracy theorism, and why Hitchens and Dawkins were/are justifiable a**holes, (is it really ad hominem to call someone an idiot if they are?)
From there we ventured into deep explorations of literature, experimental music, and film. We had an exciting discussion of cut-up works and their lasting influence on self-referential post-post-modern music and lit of the present. He recommended The Ticket That Exploded and I finally ordered a hardcover copy of The House of Leaves.
After swapping documentary favorites we decided to collaborate on a Meetup project we'd host together to try to engage other like-minded individuals with an interest in experimental art and DIY/maker culture.
We each sent the other back with a list of recommended reading/viewings. He'll be taking in Citizen4 and I'll be watching the Hardcore Edition of I Dream of Wires.
For a dude who seldom ever leaves the house, this was one hell of a day.
