ThingThatIs

ThingThatIs is a Canadian intellectual figure who appears in the archive primarily as the subject of a poetic musical tribute in EP.253, described as possessing both intellectual sharpness and a gentle temperament. Their presence is marked not by direct participation but by recognition within the show's creative output and community discourse.

ThingThatIs emerges in the archive through a formal musical tribute, suggesting they hold particular significance within the show's intellectual or relational landscape. The framing as "Master of Mind Control" paired with descriptions of thoughtfulness and debating capacity suggests an engagement with persuasion, rhetoric, or psychological influence as domains of interest. The tribute itself—a poetic musical composition—indicates they represent a figure worthy of formal recognition or possibly ceremonial acknowledgment within the Cult of Psyche community. Their second appearance comes only obliquely, referenced within broader community drama discussions, suggesting their influence operates somewhat peripherally to the show's main narrative thrust.

ThingThatIs's relationship to the archive is primarily mediated through Father Psyche's creative output and attention. The decision to compose and feature a musical tribute indicates a meaningful connection or recognition of significance, though the nature of this relationship remains implicit rather than explicitly documented. Their positioning within discussion of YouTube streaming community dynamics in EP.281 suggests they occupy some recognized position within that ecosystem, though specific collaborative or conflictual relationships with other named figures are not recorded.
