Episode 37: Entities, with Stuart Davis
Several years ago, on New Year\u2019s Eve, a tall, purple-robed praying mantis appeared to multidisciplinary artist Stuart Evan Davis as he meditated while running a fever. \u201cRemember who you work for,\u201d the entity said after beaming a zettabyte of information into Stuart\u2019s febrile mind. Though it lasted less than a minute, the encounter sparked a series of life-changing -- and hair-raising -- events worthy of a Philip K. Dick novel.
\n\nJF and Phil talk to Stuart Davis to get his thoughts on nonhuman intelligences, the artistic cosmos, a movie trilogy the Mantis commissioned, and Stuart\u2019s brilliant audio documentary, Man Meets Mantis.
