We're trialling a new format this week, as I am in the Bay of Fires for work. A visit to a beer-drinking pig inspired some ruminations on how and why we connect as this idiotic, digital hellscape builds itself around us.
The episode discusses the manipulation and sanitization of reality through digital currencies, IDs, and the evolving media landscape, including the shift to 'private' or enclosed digital engagement opportunities like Mighty Networks and Substack, aiming for authenticity in an increasingly controlled and artificial world.

0:00.0 | The world without sin has arrived. That's what I'm calling this solo show. |
0:12.0 | I'm in the Bay of Fires which appears to regularly get voted |
0:17.3 | one of the top ten beaches in the world. It is definitely an amazing place and I'm here doing some filming for the time magic course for the premium membership and yesterday to I suppose instigate or inspire this podcast episode, we visited a very, I'll be honest, |
0:37.2 | boomer-coded location called the pub in the paddock, which the clue is in the name, is a pub in the middle of a paddock in the middle of a dairy valley. |
0:49.0 | This pub has a famous pig called Priscilla. |
0:53.8 | I'll actually include a couple of images of this |
0:55.8 | in the show notes. |
0:57.5 | So if you're listening to it and you're like, |
0:59.3 | okay, you have annoyed and intrigued me, Gordon,'m going to go and look at this. |
1:05.0 | It's, I can't understand how this isn't legally problematic, but it's obviously good business. |
1:11.0 | There's a pig associated with the pub who drinks beer and so you buy beer at the pub and you go and feed it to the pig anyway. |
1:21.0 | We did not do that. It seems like a strange choice, if you, which I am, if you're doing |

1:40.0 | That was a little sidebar. I just wanted to point out that I was in an extremely remote location because |
1:47.1 | Tasmania is already remote. I'm in the northeast. in a way it has a mobile signal it the pub had slow Wi-Fi and in a way it inspired |
2:01.6 | the framing on how I want to talk about the world without sin in this update or installation |
2:10.4 | in frankly a long running series now, over a decade long. |
2:15.0 | So in order to do that, I will give the new people a very brisk update on what I mean by the world of that sin. |
2:21.0 | And then we'll do a bit of a news update on why I can say the world of that |
2:25.2 | sin has arrived and then and I'm never sure how much people are interested in this I |
