...AGAINST MY RUINS, as we say. Fragmentation is both a theme and a formal feature of the Ask Dr. Hal! Show, the Puzzling Evidence show long on KPFA and its successor feeder show, Reloadio (ongoing). The fragmentary nature of certain recorded previous archival material, eternally "ploughed under" and then, through an active synthesis, "seeded" to produce a new layer in active currency, mirrors the social, psychological, and spiritual fragmentation of the cultural entities extant in the Noosphere after the final U.S. election. National borders will be changing and citizens’ nerves shot to bits as unstable and mobile populations, refugees from Authoritarianism and climate change disasters, move across previously official frontiers, many of these suffering from shell-shock or PTSD. This presentation, alas, offers no solution, except to offer the enduring fragments in new combinations. Song: "Me and my Mummy," by Bobby "Boris" Pickett and his Crypt Keepers. No guests this show, but perhaps we'll have some anon, on a nearing future episode. Three hours.
