Secure your gas-masks and your racial privilege, we're
taking a look at one of the earliest pieces of proto-Afrofuturism,

0G169: Matrix Reloaded and Non-dualism
Dec 15, 2021
In
keeping with the genre, the first half of this episode is just

into Matrix Three.

episodes and a couple issues around the alignment problem and
awakening.
