On 14th August 2020, Prashant Bhushan, a legal activist was convicted of a serious charge of criminal contempt of court. This came after Mr Bhushan made two tweets in criticism of the state of the judiciary and the story has been a dramatic turn of events that unfortunately has resulted in criticism of the supreme court and a dangerous precedent for free speech in the Democratic Republic of India. The following episode talks about the incident and the legal background and repercussions of the same.

This episode, I get on a call with Himanshi Parmar, an artist and academically a communications designer and Aditi Rakhe, an Art Historian and an Architect to talk about the philosophy of Aesthetic. I recently read Wittgenstein and wanted a session of learning about other theories or aesthetic and how it has come to represent the human experience,  perceptions and understanding. I know most of you must be tired of hearing of the wall of perception at this point, but that's what I ended up contributing to the discussion, and we talked about memetic theory in the context of the aesthetic and gender along with politics.

For this episode, I collaborated with TIFA Working Studios and got in touch with Angus Joseph, a gentleman who was involved in viral marketing using the memetic theory and sort of engaged in the science of memeing in the mid-2000s, and we get insights into how information spreads through memes. Angus also tells us about his experience with a Doki-Doki literature club-sque marketing experiment where they marketed a company that didn't exist for a while, and we discuss the way propaganda spreads through social media.

I get on a call with Salva Mubarak from Rayon Magazine, the person behind the very successful Bollywood satirical news page - rayon mag. I go through the textbook recital of the history of satire the way a 1st grade English oral exam would go, and I and Rayon talk about how satire and real-life are taking turns of imitating each other, along with my passionate hate for celebrity culture.

Over the course of the last week, the theories surrounding the deep state and QAnon have resurfaced and have seen the exposure/impressions like never before, mostly because of the new development in the conspiracy about the theorised child trafficking ring and involvement of the eCommerce site "Wayfair furniture". The theory, as most would've figured, is a hoax and a leap that's fairly well constructed to have a lot of face value. This episode goes through explaining the conspiracy theory and further providing arguments for why it's not real.

For Episode 76, I get on a call with Tadpatri Talkies, a shitposty youtube channel that blew up, thanks to their work on a satirical rap album "Bhookh", and while responding the direction of contemporary hip-hop in the country, with Divine and Naezy at the helm of the culture - came up with some of the best commentaries on poverty porn that exists in the country, and ended up parodying a rap scene that was only emerging in the country. We talk about the album, class critique and discuss Gully Boy for a brief moment.

One of the biggest crimes that the community of Psychiatric / Psychological studies has part-taken in helping conceptualise in its brief existence of a century is the pseudo-scientific methods of conversion therapy, that tried to change the sexual orientation of individuals. This podcast gives a brief on the history in medical sciences and cultural impact and recorded commentary on the same.

For episode 73, we visit the multiple murders that my subconscious brain combined with a little bit of its own imagination and formed a new one  - and I thought it was documentation worth sharing with the world. From our television to the popular rock music in our playlists, we are surrounded by content that is a result of musing about serial killers and what they represent in the time and place we share in this microcosm of space. The murders discussed are: Satanic Murders Of Thiruvananthapuram The Moors murders - "Suffer Little Children" by the smiths Manson Murders Joshi Abhyankar Murders Bloody Benders Support me on patreon! https://www.patreon.com/deepfriedneurons Follow me on social media   www.instagram.com/deepfriedneurons https://www.facebook.com/DeepFriedNeu...

While I was researching for episode 71, I just happen to stumble on to this concept of library of babel and how it challenges my understanding of language, time, predictability, predestination, originality, communication, theory and even praxis of literature and how we treat it. I just thought it was too cool to not do an episode on. libraryofbabel.info Support me on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/deepfriedneurons Follow me on social media   www.instagram.com/deepfriedneurons https://www.facebook.com/DeepFriedNeu...

Over the course of time, one of the peculiar ordeals that humans in civilizations have engaged in are leaving buried/stacked or preserved messages for people of the future to find out. a message stationery in space but to be delivered in time. It is a very amusing way of communication for me, given time only moves in one direction and it is even more curious what some of these messages contain; sometimes what these messages translate to and what does curation of the contents of this message say about human psychology and historical records. Also, I just thought it was plain cool.

Gaslighting is an often overlooked aspect of a toxic, almost abusive or an abusive relationship, and I thought it would be helpful and interesting to go through what it means, where it comes from and why in the time where our institutions of shared shelter like family, romantic live-in relationships and friendship are tested, I hope this was relationship that was relevant to discuss Story Hunter's Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ooQqVyomTo Illymation's videos about her abusive relationship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7lYeRqhQ9Q&list=PL5KT1haMqErN1T_fIhD4NLTR9IqzKmqeQ Support me on patreon! https://www.patreon.com/deepfriedneurons Follow me on social media   www.instagram.com/deepfriedneurons https://www.facebook.com/DeepFriedNeu...

Since we finally made it to the most important milestone in the history of this podcast, I thought it would be nice to do a podcast about sex and the way it has been viewed in society and the way most people think about and why. the intent and purpose of this episode are to open a  discussion into why and how we think and talk of sex and what does that mean for us as individual beings.

For this episode, I talk about how we find answers to the question of "who we are" in our purchases, and come to the point in our existence as a society where the derivation of who we are is defined by what we purchase; and how purchasing as it becomes an activity we find comfort and relief in. This podcast asks more questions than it answers. Hope you enjoy it.
