“He walked into the glitchy wilderness with a GORUCK bag, tritium watch, and nothing to lose but his cached identity.”

In this genre-warping, filter-stripping conversation, Chris Abraham goes full analog soul in a digital world — decoding identity, memory, and authenticity in an age of surveillance, simulation, and semantic rot. From the ghostly AI of William Gibson’s Agency to the aching sincerity of Love on the Spectrum, this episode is a postmodern pilgrimage for truth in a world where being “based” now outranks being “brilliant.”

Chris explores what it means to live with aphantasia and SDAM, navigates the ethics of erasing your digital trail, and unpacks how meritocracy, identity politics, and liberalism lost the plot. With references flying from Foucault to A Fish Called Wanda, it’s part sermon, part shitpost, part Socratic rave.

Somewhere in the ruins of mass discourse, we meet the Low-Res Messiah: flawed, glitchy, possibly cringe, but still walking forward — one click, one stretch, one deletion at a time.

• Memory as Myth: Living with SDAM and aphantasia in a society built on nostalgia and vision boards.
• AI and Faith: When “Eunice” the AI mirrors both divine omniscience and autistic pattern recognition.
• Based Over Brilliant: The return of emotional honesty and lived authenticity as new currency.
• Virtue & Vice in Identity Politics: Why calling everyone a Nazi isn’t just wrong — it’s lazy.
• The Anchorite Reboot: Chris’s call for digital minimalism, walking meditations, and gym-floor stretching rituals.

“Mind palaces are a scam. Memory is a JPEG — and I’m running on 256 colors.”

“There’s no deer in the woods that survives being loud and proud.”

“The boil does not make the plague — Trump is the symptom, not the cause.”

“Being invisible doesn’t mean you’re hiding. Sometimes, it just means you’re free.”

Q: What’s a “Low-Res Messiah”?
A: A symbol for imperfect truth-seekers in a high-def world of lies. It’s about being genuine in a world that rewards optics and simulation.

Q: Did Chris really delete all his tweets and posts?
A: Yes. Not out of shame — out of a desire to stop being a museum exhibit for people who don’t read past the captions.

Q: Why so much talk about IQ, autism, and memory?
A: Because intelligence isn’t just horsepower — it’s how your RAM, hard drive, and operating system interact. And Chris runs on a forked distro of neurodivergence.

Q: Is this podcast left-wing or right-wing?
A: Yes.

Q: Is Chris okay?
A: Yeah. Just stretched out and swinging kettlebells again.

• Aphantasia: The inability to visualize images in one’s mind. No mind's eye.
• SDAM (Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory): A rare condition where people can’t vividly recall personal memories.
• Eunice: A hyper-capable AI assistant in Agency by William Gibson.
• Mind Palace: A mental visualization technique used to store and retrieve information — not available to the Low-Res Messiah.
• Based: Slang for being unapologetically true to yourself, often contra “woke” orthodoxy.
• Virtue Signaling: Expressing moral positions to boost social standing, rather than out of conviction.
• Panopticon: A prison design and metaphor by Foucault where surveillance becomes internalized.
• Drill Rap: A gritty, aggressive rap subgenre, often hyper-local and controversial.
• Sky Daddy: Internet slang for God, often used pejoratively in atheist or anti-religious contexts.
• Anchorite: A religious recluse who retreats into solitude for spiritual reasons — or to dodge the algorithm.
