27 January, 2023 — Schokoladen — Berlin

My first show in Berlin was at this spot in…I’m guessing 2012? 2013? Not entirely sure, but I know it was here and I know it cemented me wanting to move to Europe. Absolute legend of a venue. I’ll be playing some new songs through a tiny distorted amp and yelling a lot and recording the whole thing in pristine stereo 44.1 kHz 16-bit .WAV format and uploading it to a platform I’m playing with to see if the audio of my live shows is AI-replicable, so come and shout along if you want to be in the training data.

Fri. 27 January — 19:00 — Schokoladen — Tickets

There will be more tour news about March 2023 in a few days, too.

“Christmas Morning in My Girlfriend’s Car”

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about this after playing it at the past few shows. “Christmas Morning in My Girlfriend’s Car,” which I have been told is a “bop,” will go out as the clock strikes midnight going from 12/24 –> 12/25 as track 1 of this: https://emperorx.bandcamp.com/album/-

Philosophy Poll Results from 15 November 2022

I posted this on Twitter earlier this week. I respond to the results below..

FREE WILL:

We agree, 64.7% majority “free will exists” voters. For now I’m convinced by libertarian arguments (not in the political sense of course; I mean libertarian as opposed to compatibilism or determinism.) Don’t know what flavor (event-causal, agent-causal, etc.) yet. Working on it.

GOD:

We agree, 27.4% minority “God exists” voters. I see an uncaused universe as implausible. “What caused God then?” It’s God, all the way up. This is my most teleological opinion; I hereby submit myself to the philosophy cops for interrogation, during which I will behave very badly.

ROBOT CONSCIOUSNESS:

We agree, 54% majority “non-bio. consc. is possible” voters. We exist; physical consciousness is clearly possible. No principle rules out other physical forms. This is NOT a reductive position. Less “we’re not special,” more “we’re special, and many other things COULD BE special.”
