Where The Hood At?

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more hood philosophy shit, and on this episode I'm talking ancestral knowledge, jiu jitsu, Islamic cults, horror movies and... my experience being a substitute teacher?!
Yeah dawg, it was a fun ride, and I break down how all of the aforementioned are related through that one experience.
We are in the midst of the Toxkatl veintenna and one thing it teaches us is the importance of applying heat and energy in our lives to ensure we blossom into the best versions of ourselves in hopes of being the nourishment the communities that come after us will need to thrive.
This goes heavily against the mediocrity and comfort we are told to cherish in modern times (our ancestors for sure would not have been fans of the fake-woke 'progressive' left homie), and they remind us of the importance of staying physically, psychologically, emotionally, and intellectually strong to ensure we are capable of carrying out such a monumental task.

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and on this episode of the podcast I'm running back some of the happenings from the last four months that it's been since the last episode.
I'm talking a little ancestral knowledge I've learned along the way, the significance of Xipe Totec, the influence of The Smiths, The Cure, and post-punk in general in the Xicano/a community and how wild it is that others are just finding out about that, why cholo culture being appropriated is mad cringe and... Donnie Darko.
That movie is dope as hell, I use it to teach a lot of different parts of philosophy in class like time travel, free will, and the absurd to name a few - some of the real horrifying shit in life when we seriously pause to consider it.

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and on this episode we got lots to talk about.
For starters, one of the Epstein lists has been released, and rather than talk about the human trafficking element side of it, I go in on the effect it's had on undermining the sovereignty of the United States instead.
Don't get me twisted, the trafficking and exploitation of children is unquestionably reprehensible and the sickos that engaged in these actions deserve punishment to the fullest extent imaginable, but belying this is the real root of the problem that some Blue Anon MF'ers are still trying to dismiss.
The US straight up has been bought and sold homie and the hustle only exists cuz our politicians were abusing their power, and that's the issue few are discussing. I got you though, and offer a little hope in the form of ancestral Nahuatl ways that show why such leadership is disgusting as well as how we can potentially fix it so we can build a better world from the smoldering ashes of this one.
I close off by pulling a complete 180 and going in on some psychoanalytic film analysis on Belly, as mentioned in the previous episode. That movie is mad philosophical and deserves its flowers in my humble opinion, and DMX and Nas team up with Hype Williams to give us a masterpiece on what it's like to navigate the struggles of the hood.Stay woke fam...

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and on this episode of the podcast, I'm running back some lingering thoughts on the episode I did with Allaa and talking about the ancestral responses to some of the points he advanced.
I'm also digging into to religion in general and offering a multitude of ways in which I feel they can be interpreted. I'm talking everything from simple practices designed to ensure the survival of a small group of people to complex rituals designed to open portals as practioners prepare to transition from this dimension into the next.
And somewhere in between all that I introduce the bi-cameral mind and how religion may very well be nothing more than a remnant of a time in human evolution where people were unable to recognize the voice inside their heads as their own and ascribed it to the voice of a 'god', instead.
I'm not saying the Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or any other God aint real homie, I'm saying they have no bearing on my life cuz I am my ancestors and my ancestors are me, and when I die I will be welcomed back to the Mictlan with open arms to join them. In the mean time? Well, to quote the great Vince Staples, pimps needs Porsches and h*es need abortions, so if you thirsty please grab a Sprite.

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and on this episode of the podcast, I'm rejoined by my colleague and dear friend Allaa Salama to talk a little bit about Islam.
If you've listened long enough you already know your boy is not religiously inclined - despite that, I have no problem chopping it up with those who are cuz regardless of my own personal biases, I am fully aware that there are insights religions can provide that have been perfected through time and passed on to help us live meaningful, self-actualized lives, and believe it would be short sighted to dismiss them simply cuz of their source.
This is where my boy Allaa comes in the mix. Islam is hotly contested at the moment given its rise around the Western world - the question is, is this really the result of some 'globalist conspiracy', or is there perhaps some insights that it offers that are not satisfied by Christianity?
If you ask my boy Allaa, he'll say that's exactly what is up, but ultimately, it's up to you to decide.

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and on this episode of the podcast, I'm going in on all the reasons why I not do not celebrate holidays dedicated to the legacy of the military of this settler-colonial country.
I used to be conflicted about this back in the day cuz beyond being a veteran myself, I have mad loved ones and homies who are vets as well, so despite the fact that I knew we signed up to defend the interest of the international banking cartel, part of me always justified it cuz how TF else were we supposed to escape the hood, nah mean?
Once I started learning ancestral knowledge, that changed profoundly when I realized that, beyond being confused workers aligning with the bourgeoisie's interests, we were also exploited men and women who had our instinct to protect finessed by predatory military and recruiting practices.
This episode def aint for 'the patriotic', but I'll remind you that we served to uphold the Constitution of this country, which includes the freedom of speech, which is why I can comfortably and confidently say this country is diseased and Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, and Independence Day, and any other holiday celebrating this death cult are a joke.

Meditations: Our Sacred Tezcatlipoca

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and for my first episode back in two months, I wanted to share with ya'll some of the reflections that have come to me in meditating with our sacred Tezcatlipoca.
I'm talking finding meaning on this slippery earth Tlalticpac, navigating the trauma that keeps us from doing so, Asian foos who rep Chicano culture, and everything in between.

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more hood philosophy shit, and on this episode, I'm talking Roko's Basilisk, the Sentient World Simulation (SWS), and The Simpsons uncanny ability to seemingly predict the future.
At first I wanted to try and debunk that idea that the writers on The Simpsons were somehow reaching into the future to tell us about what was to come using game theory, but then I learned that the US government - surprise surprise - runs a program the (SWS) that could very well contain us living everyday lives in it, and now I'm not so sure that not only have The Simpsons used the information gleaned from this program to tell us exactly what is going to happen.
It's all about predictive programming and revelation of the method homeboy, and now beyond wondering if we're secretly lorded over by occultists, I can't help but feel a tinge of terror in thinking I personally - and of course you, as well - may be nothing more than digitized simulacra living in a hard drive somewhere in a government installation.
And Descartes thought he had it bad.

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and on this episode of the podcast I'm doing a little hip hop pedagogy on the Kendrick Lamar deep cut HiiiPower.
So much deep philosophy on this track and I wanted to get into the work of perhaps the most obscure philosopher KDot mentions, Marcus Garvey, who was best known for his ideas on pan-Africanism, repatriation, collectivism, taking pride in one's cultural heritage, education aimed at mobilizing the masses to overcome their oppressors, and all that other fun shit that makes YT liberal academics quiver in their ivory towers.
Can't help but wonder if the reason they never teach Garvey has less to do with the quality of his ideas and more so with the potential effects they may have.

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more hood philosophy shit, and on this episode of the podcast I'm delving back into Nahuatl philosophy to discuss how the problems of the today can only be addressed by speaking to the hearts and faces of the men that have been systematically disillusioned by this diseased western world.
We are def in the 'weak men make hard times' era right now, and it's a beautiful thing, cuz in the struggle is where our precious stone can be best cultivated, where we can become the best version of ourselves that our communities need to overcome these troubled times.
'They' don't like this message cuz 'they' would rather keep us content and seeking to dull and pacify us with the comforts of modern living, but time and again this has proven to have disastrous results for men in general - and given the role we play in the structuring of society - to culture as a whole.
This episode comes on the heals of the four year anniversary of the El Paso Wal Mart shooting, and as a citizen of this town, I can tell you with utmost certainty that feminism, Christianity, or any of the other ideas of the western world are going to save us, only a return to ancestral ways.
