About this listen

In this wide-ranging chapter of Art of the Covenant, Eric asks how the words we choose shape the worlds we live in. From free speech anxieties and the strange power of manifestos to the humbler magic of “write it, then do it,” he traces writing’s arc; from clay tokens and cuneiform to Gutenberg and the algorithmic now. Along the way: a darkly funny personal hospital saga, Civ-style empire building, the Unabomber’s troubling resonance, misinformation old and new, and why our inner reality keeps scripting our outer experience. Part history lesson, part manifesto about manifesting, this episode explores how text became tech; birthing memory, myth, control, rebellion, and the futures we dare to imagine.
