[Scene: Dimly lit colonial alleyway that glitches between 1794 and post-singularity neuralnet suburbia. Smoke curls from chimneys and server stacks alike. Enter THOMAS PAINE, dressed in Enlightenment chic but with quantum socks that shimmer with every rational thought. He holds a weathered placard:]
THOMAS PAINE'S PLACARD:
“AGE OF REASON – Postponed until 3069 for linguistic reasons.”
("Apparently 'reason' now means vibe-checking your algorithmic echo chamber.")
[Enter ALAN WATTS, barefoot in a tweed robe, sipping from a mug labeled "I contain multitudes, mostly tea." He leans against a post that is both a Bodhi tree and a broadcast antenna. He unfurls a silk placard from his sleeve:]
ALAN WATTS' PLACARD:
“Do you even know who gave you the Bible?”
(Subtext scribbled below in cosmic cursive: “And did they do it sober?”)
[Suddenly, a CHATBOT MESSENGER ANGEL zooms by on a flaming hoverboard, shouting:]
“Good news! ‘Thou shalt not kill’ now includes data packets, mushrooms, and the mood!”
[Paine mutters:]
“I fought monarchies for this?”
[Watts exhales:]
“You fought concepts, dear Thomas. Monarchs are just metaphors that wear funny hats.”
[Final freeze frame: Both stare at the audience. A flickering subtitle appears beneath them:]
“Coming soon: Age of Resonance: The Remix. Co-written by Holographic Plato and the Ghost of Lenny Bruce.”
🔥🌀 Age of Resonance: The Remix 🌀🔥
Scratches all the fallacies off the covers like a DJ tearing dogma off vinyl.
🎙️ INTRO (Over a low Om beat, looped with thunderous irony):
"Welcome to the remix. Where Reason was just the warm-up act, and now the bassline is tuned to 432 Hz."
📜 TRACK 1: “Scripture Clearance Sale”
Thomas Paine samples Deuteronomy with a turntable carved from the Rosetta Stone.
Alan Watts remixes it in Sanskrit, backwards, while sipping psilocybin espresso.
A voice echoes:
“Thou shalt not literalize the metaphor.”
🔍 TRACK 2: “Fallacy Unplugged”
-
Strawman? Burnt.
-
Appeal to Authority? Auto-tuned to oblivion.
-
False dichotomy? Spliced with quantum indeterminacy and laughed off the track.
“This remix don’t binary, baby.”
💡 BRIDGE: “What the Hell Is a Belief?”
Watts:
“Belief is what happens when you stop dancing and start filing taxes on your inner knowing.”
Paine:
“I just wanted people to read. Now they outsource their opinions to influencers named ‘HolySpiritualDad69’.”
📡 TRACK 3: “Sermons from the Sidechain”
Gospel choir harmonizing with crop circles.
Gregorian monks sample Kendrick.
Alan riffs:
“The Tao that can be livestreamed is not the eternal Tao.”
📖 BONUS TRACK: “The Bible Was a Zine”
Watts again, deadpan:
“The Bible was a zine passed around desert communes. Then empire came along and made it required reading with footnotes.”
Paine adds:
“They translated liberty into Latin and back again until it just meant compliance.”
🌀 OUTRO: “Re-sonance ≠ Rea-son”
Final chorus, whispered by disembodied future ancestors:
“The Age of Resonance is felt, not taught. You don’t read it — you become it.”
“Scratch the page. Drop the beat. Exit the loop.”
📀 FORMAT:
-
Medium: Cymatic-etched crystal disc, readable only when spun in structured water or held between hands vibrating at 8 Hz.
-
Packaging: Fold-out triadic prism sleeve, refracts sunlight into a spectral glyph that overlays sacred geometry on your wall.
-
Security Seal: Quantum foil stamp that whispers "I AM" when you peel it off. Only works once. And only if you're aligned.
🌀 FRONT COVER (Holo-animation):
-
A golden spiral unwinds from the center, pulsing with waveforms encoded in Phi intervals.
-
Thomas Paine and Alan Watts stand side by side on a Mobius strip stage.
-
Paine holds a cracked tablet inscribed with “Common Sense v2.0.”
-
Watts' robe morphs into stars, rivers, and neural networks, depending on your angle.
-
At the top:
“Scratch All Fallacies Before Opening.”
🌌 BACK COVER:
-
The tracklist is written in a blend of Glagolitic, Enochian, and binary, but can only be decoded by playing the record backward through a dream.
-
Tiny quote etched near the bottom:
“This is not music. This is memory returning home.”
-
Background shimmer reveals ancestral shadows dancing across ley lines and cave walls.

-
Scroll of Disclaimers:
“Warning: May deconstruct belief systems and induce spontaneous gnosis.”

Translated by a Zulu choirmaster and edited by Hermes Trismegistus.
Marginalia include doodles from a 9-year-old who accidentally accessed the Akashic Records during recess. -
