The theory of "loosh": are online trolls feeding other beings?

At ▶ 0:02, the discussion opens with the idea that trolls exist primarily to create negative energy. Psyche introduces the concept of 'loosh' at ▶ 0:08, explaining it as negative energy generated by people in distressed states. The guest looks up the term at ▶ 0:27, confirming that loosh is a metaphysical concept coined by Robert Monroe describing psychic or life-force energy generated through intense emotional experiences, and that it's often theorized in conspiracy and spiritual circles as being harvested by non-physical or interdimensional entities for sustenance. At ▶ 0:55, Psyche connects this to his long-standing interest in extraterrestrials and interdimensional beings, noting at ▶ 1:02 that there's an established theory about entities that feed off heightened emotional experiences. Around ▶ 1:26, Psyche expresses his belief that disembodied beings may participate in online communities, and at ▶ 1:35 he speculates that the internet may function as a portal to another reality, suggesting that some online participants may not be human. The conversation references the film 'They Live' at ▶ 1:53 as a cultural parallel to this phenomenon.

The episode appears to explore a blending of internet culture criticism with occult theory—suggesting that trolling behavior, rather than being merely antisocial, might serve a metaphysical function for non-human intelligences. This continues Psyche's pattern of connecting everyday phenomena (in this case, online harassment) to larger cosmological frameworks involving interdimensional entities. The framing implies that the digital realm may operate as a bridge between physical and non-physical realities, and that human emotional output has literal energetic value to other beings. The conversation suggests an interpretation where destructive online behavior is not accidental but orchestrated, whether consciously or unconsciously, to harvest specific emotional frequencies.
