Summary

In this mirth-blasting mind meld, Colin, Erick and I chat about the beauty of struggle, magical thinking, the afterlife, why wealth devours so many people and much more.

Colin Frangicetto is a musician best known for playing guitar in the band Circa Survive. He's also a fabulous artist, dedicated consciousness explorer and one of my best pals.

Erick Godsey is a self-styled psychology extraordinaire and self-spelunking mystic who hangs out at the intersection of Carl Jung and Robert Anton Wilson.

I try to choose not to have any complaints.

It's been living there for the last few months alongside many others that you can still only get there.

But I wanted to release this one on the main techno deliad transmission conduit for a couple of reasons.

1:48.0

One, it's just it's too frothing with mirth not to share. I love this chat. This is about as close as I can get to conversational purity while still being an episode of the podcast.

and definitely the spiritual and psychological pitfalls of success, hence the title actually.

2:49.4

Specifically, why is it that this archetype of the tortured rich man is a thing? Why is it that when you
