  • Duncan Horst on NeuroConvergence and the Erotic Path to God
    2025/04/16
    Duncan Horst discusses his work with Fifth Wall Productions, an interactive theater company aimed at breaking the distinction between actor and audience to foster a sense of community and combat nihilism. He explained the concept of the "fifth wall," which involves audience members actively participating in performances. Horst also delved into the importance of neuro convergence, integrating neurodiverse individuals into a unified framework, and emphasized the role of sexual practices and financial management in personal growth. He highlighted the need for trust and shared frameworks to create meaningful connections and enhance cognitive and creative capacities.Transcript:Adam Lamb 0:02 Welcome Duncan,Duncan Horst 0:05 thank you, Adam.Adam Lamb 0:07 I've followed your work for some time through our Facebook connection. I just spent the last half hour listening to your album that came out in late last year, and I have so much curiosity about you as a person. I will start by asking, What are you up to now? What lights you up in your your work in the world?Duncan Horst 0:40 Well, there are a couple of different things that feel really germane to this conversation. They're all ultimately connected. It's kind of like a higher IQ version of like the Marvel Avengers arc, where they set up with like 23 different movies that all joined together to defeat Thanos. And in this case, like Thanos or Thanatos, like the ultimate Thanatos is not like a risk of death, but it's the risk of nihilism within a matter modern context. The two biggest ventures that I'm actively engaged in that combat nihilism are fifth wall productions, which is an interactive theater and event company that aspires to break the fifth wall so it's breaking the distinction between actor and audience, breaking The distinction between people who come in to consume entertainment to people who come in and create from the moment so creating, you know, clan size to tribe size gatherings where the identity structure is re knit from passive observer to active co creator within a meta, mythic lens that incorporates a lot of improvisation in order to get people to interact with and enact the archetypes as they're applied to the present moment. Is something that I feel is a plausible answer. It's a plausible answer like, is it the answer, no, but what it can do is it can create identity at the tribal level that is sufficient to modern nervous systems to begin to embody what is necessary in order to remain human.Adam Lamb 2:41 I'm gonna slow you down, just not at the risk of infantilizing my audience or whoever happens across this recording, I want to back up and like I found that what you just said is I absolutely agree, and I find it very fascinating and interesting, and I want to unpack some of the language. So when you you talk about the fifth wall, and then you you mentioned a few dichotomies that you're breaking apart like, or rather fusing together the audience and the spectator, and being one of them. Can you give some background, perhaps, to this phrase the fifth wall is that something that already exists, or is that a something you made up?Duncan Horst 3:31 Yes. So I have, like I have my own special little neuro convergent lens on things, the breaking the fourth wall is an established theater term. It's like in house of cards or Shakespeare, when an audience, when an actor, like breaks out of the thing and like does a whispered aside to the audience. Isn't this person ridiculous? And that's my secret plan, like, you know, to get people copacetic your the fourth wall is between what is on the stage and a stage. All theater is implicitly religious theater. You know, all acting started as a way for polities like Athens Greece to honor the local gods and create cultural unity so they could defend themselves against the Persians, or so that they could make sure that their own identity was safe against the barbarians, which are literally, it's a Greek word, meaning the people who speak blah blah, the blah blah, rien barbarians, blah blah, I did not Know that the blah blah people, basically, people who didn't speak Greek but who didn't speak the mythic language of the Greeks were the blah blah people. Okay, so it's like making sure that there's a shared cultural language.Adam Lamb 4:54 So you're saying that theater reinforces the culture, which is. Necessary to defend the culture against intruders like the blah blah people. That'sDuncan Horst 5:04 right. I mean, it it separates in groups and out groups, but it also creates the shared framework that people can use to connect with one another and connect more deeply. Without that shared framework interactions tend to be shallow and more head based. So it creates a set of, you know, security protocols, essentially, yeah, you know, you're that the system can't be hacked by rogue thought forms, or rogue, you know, Thanatos, aka nihilism, is what stalks the land. You know, a specter is haunting Europe, the ...

  • Masculinity and Intimacy with Mikaal Bates
    2025/02/26
    Mikaal Bates and I discuss men's work, intimacy, rites of passage, masculinity, initiation, brotherhood, sacred theater, acting, self-discovery, community, purpose, combat sports, nudism, political landscape, and tribal societies.Adam 0:02 I'm here with Michael Bates. He is a men's coach and a coach of of intimacy between men and women. I met him in New York right before the pandemic, literally two weeks before the the first news of it, and I had attended a men's circle he held in Brooklyn, and then it was only years later, three years later, that I did my own initiation into men's work. And now I've been paying a lot more attention to what he's been doing, and he's doing some really interesting things. So thank you for being here, Michael,Mikaal 0:38 it's a pleasure to be here. Adam, thank you for having me. It's good to see you again.Adam 0:43 Yeah, you too. So, like many of us, myself, I moved to New York coming from a jazz performance area. And you, I understand, are coming from an acting background. I'm I'm curious, like, what was your journey to come to New York and in general, how did your acting inform the work that you're doing?Mikaal 1:05 Now, it's a great question. I was actually a jazz saxophone player in college, but, uh Oh, wow.Adam 1:11 Which, which sacks, etc. Nice. I played Alto and Perry Right on man, BMikaal 1:18 flat to B flat. You know? It's a nice the nice, big gap, yeah, yeah. Man acting, I mean the arts in general, I would say that you know, so much of the work that I do, especially in the in the rites of passage and initiation space, there is a component of sacred theater to it. There's a component of enacting these rituals, the ritual of masculinity, the ritual of manhood, the transformation of going from one state to another and studying acting in New York at the the Esper studio, which is Meisner technique, was a revelation. It's a spiritual, deep spiritual practice to live or do truthfully under imaginary circumstances. And so it was a huge time for me of self self discovery and learning to use my entire body as an instrument. I had been, as I mentioned, a musician, and I've been an athlete, but there was something about getting to know myself and the instrument of the body so deeply that I could be open to any experience and to take on any experience or role, any any of the vast potentiality of what it means to be human and to be a conduit of that. I honestly don't think there's anything I recommend people do more than go to acting school. It's just such an incredible skill and just an incredible way of getting to know yourself. And so I would say, I use, I use skills that I learned in acting school every day, and the work that I do, literally in the one on one coaching work, and also in the the group, the groups as well. Yeah,Adam 2:58 the being open to any experience really stood out at me, because in my own experience of men's work, I realized how much, how kind of myopic my my life was, just I'm only operating from my own perspective. So being in, and I imagine this would be group therapy in general, but being in experiences where I'm I'm seeing, in this case, men coming from all walks of life, experiencing all kinds of different issues, and in a way, holding space for that, being a vessel for that, it makes me less judgmental and less reactive to other people's experiences in general.Mikaal 3:37 Yeah, that's a good way of putting it. I mean, once you once you meet the entire retinue of human potential, and I think New York is so great for that, you know, just go and go on the subway in New York and just sit and watch. And the whole human spectrum is just there, just laid out in, in, in every single individual and the uniqueness of the individuals there. So it's a beautiful thing. And one of my favorite things about New York to say the least,Adam 4:04 yeah, so what is men's work? And why does it matter?Mikaal 4:12 That's a great question. Men's work is a term that's become pretty popular in the last, you know, five to 10 years. I mean, it's, it's the process of men working on themselves. It's the process that once happened to us when we were young men, when we were living in intact tribal societies for hundreds of 1000s of years, regardless of where our genetics come from, if you go back far enough we were living as tribal peoples, and there have been extensive studies done on the peoples of Earth. And one of the beautiful, just unifying aspects of this work is that as teenagers, you and I with the rest of the men of our. Tribe, or the boys of our tribe, would have been taken by the men away from our mothers, away from the comforts of the hearth and the warmth of mother's skirt tails. And we would have been taken out, usually into the dark, into the cold, with the men. And we would get to learn the experience of what it means to be men, the ethos of our tribe, the the mythos, the myths, the stories and we would be literally put through a process of becoming men. And ...

  • NEDx: Naked Extemporaneous Discussion
    2025/02/05

    Last month I combined two of my favorite things: extemporaneous discussion and nudity. I was shocked at how many people RSVP’d (nearly 45), then pleasantly surprised when only 14 showed up. Cold feet, maybe?

    The event was designed as both a contest (cash prizes woo!) and a workshop. This is how it worked:

    * Starting clothed, we held an opening circle to introduce ourselves and say a few words about what we were feeling in that moment

    * I asked the audience what does it mean for someone to be a good speaker? And a bad speaker? and wrote the answers on a big white board

    * Breaking off into groups of 5, I had each group pull a few cards from the hilariously irreverent and seriously confronting question deck AskHole

    * Each person took two minutes to respond to one of the questions

    * Each person anonymously ranked the others from most to least resonant (according to the attributes on the board or just vibe), and turned their votes in to me.

    * I had a clown come out and do an act (to distract people while I entered their scores).

    * I tallied up the scores and did my best to recombine people into groups with even distribution of high/medium/low scores.

    * We did four rounds in ninety minutes. It took me about ten minutes to count the votes and recombine people between rounds.

    * I invited the 3 highest scoring people up to answer a final question: What are you passionate about, and what measurable action can the people in this room take to help you with that?

    * Veela won!

    I was happy with the event and hope to make it a regular thing as long as people continue to be interested in it.

    For future events:

    I could imagine redistributing people in more of a hierarchical way. This would require weighing the high scorers so the last place person in the highest ranked group is not given the same number of points as the last ranked person in the lower groups. But for now this method seemed to work.

    In retrospect, the clown was fun but a better use of time would have been to give participants time to give feedback to each other.

    I could have prolonged the transition period from clothed to nude. And I could have used less intense question decks in earlier rounds.

    Curious? Join us for another NEDx tomorrow February 6th in Brooklyn at 7pm. Register here

    We have a men only NEDx coming up (date TBD), to learn about that sign up for my newsletter here.
