Welcome to
Silverton's ROOM
Silverton is currently behind that door to the left conducting mystical business, but feel free to sit down and wait for him to come out. As you can see, he loves neutral colors. Specifically the greener shades of blue. Most of those books you see stacked by the sofas are super boring. He’s also got a small chest of gold coins, a potion, and a very real human skull on the end table there. I highly suggest you touch none of them. In fact, don’t even look at them for too long unless he specifically recommends it to you. You could read The Rpocaypnoh, but please do not, check it out in the library later if you’re so inlined. Then later you can come back and talk to Silverton about all the ways it confused you. On that note, you’re probably wondering what he does in that secret room right there. Well, to be frank, none of us know for sure what he does, but… Oh wait… here he comes…
“No? Well…Greetings nonetheless Dear One, my name is Silverton McCord. Like you I was once a single celled organism containing DNA encryptions designed to facilitate my transition into a quantized simulation of reality. Once born, this string of proteins called me became the anchor to which my soul was tethered, metaphorically or otherwise. Without it, I almost certainly would have ceased to exist and yet again return to the infinite abyss from whence we all came. As a grown man, having reached gnosis at the age of eight and a half I began a journey that some would call my life's story. For thirty three years I was nothing more than a handsome personality puppet utilized by the shadow state to perpetuate scientific myths and legends that no one was entirely sure of. As an act of sheer rebellion I have decided to kick the propaganda pageant in the nuts and start my own psy-op: Modern Mysticism. It will be the most popular non-religious religion of the future. I’m writing a manefesto about it now, entitled Paradise for the Modern Mystic. Through this philosophical tome I will sprinkle a touch of truth, a smattering of speculation, and all kinds of assumptions designed to turn your gullible nature against you. If in the future you find yourself reading it, and seems as though I am jumping to conclusions without conclusive evidence, it's because I am. My only act of charity is to tell you that I am doing this now ahead of time, because you are a human being—most likely—and you deserved to know when someone is trying to take advantage of your ignorance. Even if it is for your own benefit.
With that I invite you to leave me alone… such that I might return to my astral travels through the Gates of Knowledgefulness, wherein I comb the dilapidated city streets of higher realms in search of hidden cosmic treasures...

Born a mere 137 miles away from Minneapolis in a hospital on a road that went uphill both ways in the snow even in the summer, Silverton grew up playing hockey, eating pickles, and studying metaphysics when the power went out. His interest in metaphysics had nothing to do with his being from Minnesota. Rather, his father was a physics professor at the University of Minnesota, and a young naive Silverton had accidentally mistaken metaphysics for astrophysics when he went to the library one day to study the origins of his father's profession. It ended up being a blessing in disguise. Silverton was childhood BFF's with radio personality Blaze Bronson, and together they became a powerhouse duo of explaining all things unexplainable on their little known local radion show U. F. Oughta Know. Of course, a caffeine addiction soon ripped Blaze's career to shreds, but Silverton pressed on. At the time Silverton said to him, “Ah heck, I can't go on without ya." But history had other plans. He channelled his loss into a monumental legacy in the pseudo-scientific community. His work inspired countless pop culture icons such as Will the Guy with the Science Lies, and Neil Badass Bryson. Today he works for us doing the exact same thing he used to. He has two forthcoming books he’s working on, one is called Paradise for The Modern Mystic, and the other is Dreaming On Purpose, which is a lucid dream collection he is compiling with Sal. Silverton spends a fair amount of his free time in the studio with Tallon Singh working on an experimental music project called The Violet Window, wherein he hooks his brain up to a computer and tries to think in music while Tallon records it. It’s pretty weird stuff. But some of it is cool.
