James was contacted by fellow Rational Rise contributor Antony Sammeroff, who also works as a therapist, to discuss some broader aspects of the psychology surrounding James’ reluctance to promote his creative work to stranger.

Hopefully this conversation will be of value to other creatives who have similar ambivalence about self-promotion.

Antony can be reached for his counselling and therapeutic services here:

LISTENER DEBATE: Molyold vs. Molyneux, Political vs. Personal, Economic vs. Spiritual

Rick Giles from New Zealand contacted me after hearing my call-in show with Stefan Molyneux, to discuss some other ideas he had. We ended up going down the philosophical rabbit-hole, and although a circular and challenging conversation at times, we managed to cover a lot of ground and finally reach an understanding at the end. This won’t be the last conversation with Rick!

Rick studies the Anarchist history of New Zealand, and can be found on Facebook here: http://ift.tt/2oHcWil

Toby Smith - Jamiroquai original keyboardist, dead at 46

I'm very sad to hear that Toby Smith, the founding keyboardist and songwriter of Jamiroquai died yesterday at the young age of 46. Toby's writing and keyboard playing was absolutely seminal and one of the most pronounced influences in my early life as a musician. His incredible ability to create unusual harmonic progressions that modulated freely, but pivoted effortlessly with jazz and gospel influenced transitions, showed me that you could write a great pop song without having to reduce it to mere I, V, vi and IV as your building blocks.

I was privileged to see Toby play live twice with Jamiroquai in 2002, and at age 16 they were the most profound spiritual musical experiences of my life. In 2008 I got to play with my band Nude Continuum (later Soul Continuum) as the opening act for Jamiroquai in Ahaus, Germany, and while Toby was no longer in the band by that time, his spirit was present in the countless wonderful songs he wrote with Jay Kay and the band that continue to be performed every time they tour.

I'm not sure how he died, and since he left Jamiroquai after A Funk Odyssey I don't really know what he was up to musically, but I know that Jamiroquai was never the same without him, and a great and highly underrated musical light in the world has gone out.

Rest in peace, Toby. Your work changed my life and set the course of my love affair with music. You are missed.

Philo-Sci-Fi – Neuromancer, Origins & Archetypes

Sven and James discuss their shared love of science fiction, and give a brief review of Neuromancer, by William Gibson. They also explore their origins as sci-fi lovers, and examine the core aspects of science fiction, and fiction in general, that make stories of heroism so compelling for humans.

A Conversation With Stefan Molyneux

I was invited to again come on Stefan Molyneux’s weekly call-in show on Freedomain Radio to discuss anything I wished. I chose to call on Stefan’s great wisdom in matters of self-knowledge to help me unpack some internal resistances I have been experiencing about the promotion of my new book, The Ghost of Emily.
