Philosophy with a side of mischief.
Fictional hosts. Real questions. Mild spiritual side-effects.

They lead straight to our YouTube channel, where Schmetterling and Etherstein continue their nonsense in full audiovisual glory.
🎙️ About the Show
Neural Nonsense is a future-set philosophical comedy podcast hosted by two entirely fictional experts:
- Schmetterling – a cosmic trickster with a PhD in charm, chaos, and questionable metaphors
- Dr. Etherstein – a clinical neuroscientist who speaks in citations and disapproval
Together, they explore the strangeness of the human mind from three angles:
neuroscience, myth, and mischief.
Every episode blends humour, psychology, sci-fi worldbuilding (from the world of Madane), and existential clarity — the kind that makes you laugh first, then think later.
None of it is true…
unless you believe it.
🧠 What We Talk About
Neural Nonsense takes deep topics and makes them funny, warm, and oddly insightful.
Episodes explore things like:
- Empathy without drowning
- Dream AIs, cognitive shadows & emotional glitches
- Thoughts that think you, not the other way around
- The origins of creativity in chaos
- Identity, archetypes, and the WyrdKeeper mental labyrinth
- Sci-fi philosophy from the timelines of Madane
If you like Terry Pratchett, Sadhguru one-liners, Petersonian logic, or Black Mirror without the despair — you’ll feel right at home.
👥 Meet the Hosts
Schmetterling
Warm, sly, theatrical.
Philosopher-magician turned corporate escapee.
Speaks in stories, sideways wisdom, and existential jokes that shouldn’t make sense but somehow do.
Dr. Etherstein
Precise, clinical, and unintentionally hilarious.
A man who believes every human problem can be solved with structure, scaffolding, and exactly three controlled studies.
Constantly baffled by Schmetterling’s metaphors.
Together, they form a dynamic duo of:
science + satire
logic + laughter
analysis + absurdity
🎧 Listen / Watch
All episodes are available on YouTube.
Long-form + shorts for maximum mischief.

🌌 A Note from the Future
This podcast is recorded in the Synes-News Cosmic Art Gallery, somewhere between timelines.
Our hosts are fictional, but the questions are real.
The answers… debatable.
If Neural Nonsense makes you think, laugh, or pause mid-scroll —
mission accomplished.
And if it makes you meditate angrily…
we apologise in advance.

All connected, all expanding, all mildly unhinged — by design.
Philosophy, But Illustrated
Neural Nonsense may be an audio broadcast, but the timelines insisted we attach visual evidence.
These illustrations capture fragments of the Dreamfield, the Synes-News Gallery, and the many mental landscapes our hosts wander through.
