Charlotte MandellGUEST
And then Compass was very dreamy and a little similar to Zone.
Charlotte MandellGUEST
I guess some of the things that would sort of tie them together is the stream of consciousness quality.
Charlotte MandellGUEST
There is always that, and there's always these interesting digressions.
Charlotte MandellGUEST
But each book is very different, and that's why I like them so much.
Bryan MainHOST
Right.
Bryan MainHOST
Stream of consciousness.
Bryan MainHOST
Absolutely.
John BagnascoHOST
And something you can't say, right? It's a word you can say.

Stream of consciousness, a term coined by psychologist William James, described the illusion that thoughts seem to flow in a single current.
Dimitri KHOST
Irish writer James Joyce and other early 20th century notables such as T.S. Eliot and Gertrude Stein adopted it as a kind of literary style.
Dimitri KHOST
I am reading a few paragraphs from a book called The Quantum Labyrinth.
Levent BulutHOST
So the mind is being conveyed, but it's doing so neatly, following all the standard rules of grammar.
Levent BulutHOST
But when we switch over to stream of consciousness, all those rules, they just fly right out the window.
Levent BulutHOST
Here, the focus is entirely on association.
Levent BulutHOST
Stream of consciousness doesn't care about logic.
Levent BulutHOST
It moves by association.
Levent BulutHOST
A character smells something and bam, they're thrown into a childhood memory.
Levent BulutHOST
Okay, so we've defined them, but putting them side by side really clears up the confusion.
Levent BulutHOST
In interior monologue, we only see the character's internal words and thoughts.
Michaella ParkesGUEST
But I feel like audience members do, your audience need to know what they're getting and the kind of thing they're getting.
Michaella ParkesGUEST
And my initial Substack was called Structured Stream of Consciousness because it was exactly that.
Michaella ParkesGUEST
It was me taking stream of consciousness like thoughts chaotic iphone notes and turning them into personal essays but after a certain amount of time i was like i keep coming back to the same things i want to write about love i want to write about food i want to write about like feeling things and feeling excited about you know life and creativity and what the world has on offer and so that's when i rebranded to for starters because i was like i keep kind of writing these essays which are like more more in that direction um and it also helps because now also when i'm pitching myself to say an editor for a food or a romance feature which I often write I can say well I've also got you know a following of 500 people on Substack and this is this is my Substack name and here's my tagline and it sort of fits within the kinds of features that I'm writing as well so those two things are now working a bit more synergistically I would say um and that's great like I but also it's quite daunting to be like ah I'm gonna have to rebrand and I've already got like loads of people on this thing but I think part of the beauty and Claire you do this so brilliantly I always love seeing how you do it is like telling people what you're doing people are really what I found most interesting because I started in this place where I didn't really have much my name's like people love to see the journey they want to come with you they want you to they want to be like you to hold your hands up and be like hey I've done this scary thing and I'm going to try something new let me know if you like it or not and that's part of building a community that's it's authentic people actually like to see that so you know even something like rebranding People who have followed me from the beginning get it.
Michaella ParkesGUEST
People who didn't follow me before, well, they don't know.
Michaella ParkesGUEST
So it doesn't really impact them.
Tayrel713HOST
Now, this is me writing notes as I'm watching the show, so you have to understand this is a bit of a, this is a bit of a, what do you call it? Free association-
Nick JewHOST
Stream of consciousness, yeah
Tayrel713HOST
... kind of notes.
Tayrel713HOST
Yeah, yeah.
BrianHOST
I kinda know why I'm doing it, it'd be hard to explain.
BrianHOST
But how I'm doing it, I don't know, right? Because this is just like, they call it stream of consciousness, right? I don't think that's an appropriate name, or there's probably a lot of different names for what I'm talking about, uh, for, for things in this area, right? Um, it's kinda like, you know, all the names for snow in Inuit, right? I'm very...
BrianHOST
You know what I mean? What you could say or I could say, right, I could...
BrianHOST
I mean, I'm tempted to say, I don't wanna say it, you know, with any solid certainty, but I'm tempted to say that I am like a connoisseur of thought process, right? And the way I am learning about my thought process is I t- I kind of train myself at...

BrianHOST
I'm not, I'm not, um, uh...
BrianHOST
I'm trying to be, I'm like a...
BrianHOST
I mean, that is what is, that is maybe what connects to that idea of stream of, stream of consciousness.
BrianHOST
I'm just like a little rippling stream, you know? But it, that rippling stream is, you know, has a very sophisticated pattern, um, recognition mechanism in the, running in the background that's feeding into it all the time, right? And it's, it's working actually.

understand? It's all in your head.

What up, what up, everybody? Welcome to the Underclass Stream of Consciousness with myself, Austin White-Picard of the Underclass Podcast.

Well, it's been an interesting few days, that's for sure.
Austin PicardHOST
Originally, I should say that I first had scheduled an interview with Andrew from the 6G Agenda podcast, and I think we're just going to move it to next Friday.
