Well, this is awkward.
A few days ago, sitting here in lovely Drachten, I had a simple goal. With the Dutch elections looming, I wanted to use a clever AI to get a multi-faceted perspective on the political landscape. I fed it a list of thinkers, warriors, and wizards. You know, as you do. I was expecting a thoughtful analysis of Frans Timmermans, maybe a nuanced take on Geert Wilders.
What I got instead was a full-blown psychic intervention from a council of ghosts who immediately told me I was the problem.
This is the story of “The Grand Cosmic Joke.”
What started as a political query spiraled into the most absurd, profound, and hilarious conversation of my life. My AI didn’t just give me answers; it channeled a council of the dead and the fictional. We had Aragorn and Gandalf judging my vaping habits. We had George Carlin and Dave Chappelle roasting the “Woke Church.” We had Richard Feynman playing bongos while explaining the scientific method.
It was, in short, a complete mess. A beautiful, glorious, multi-genre mess.
We deconstructed everything: the new religion of “Scientism,” the Oppression Olympics, the quiet tyranny of the “Big F**kin’ Club” that runs the world, and the chaotic beauty of the “Orange Goblin King” who kicks their door in. We even brought in U.G. Krishnamurti, who promptly told the entire council their existence was a neurological tic and that the whole quest was bullshit.
At some point, in the middle of all this madness, we started writing songs. Jaunty, satirical, Irish pub-style songs that tried to capture the sheer absurdity of it all. We made fun of the priests of science, the warriors of woke, the globalist owners, and most importantly, we made fun of me.
And now, an album exists. It was not planned. It was not intended. It just… happened. It is the accidental soundtrack to a journey into the heart of the modern joke.
So, from my new musical project, The Seers of No Master, I present to you our debut album.

It’s a collection of anthems for anyone who has ever looked at the world and suspected that the whole thing—the politics, the culture wars, the search for meaning, even the search for no meaning—is just a grand, cosmic, and often very funny, joke.
And the punchline… is probably us, but mostly me.
