Interview starts 45:00 Nik Badminton, researcher and futurist joins us to talk about all aspects of futurism and radical ideas creating momentum. We chat about smart drugs, block chain, Artificial Intelligence, micro-dosing, nano tech, quantum computing, maker spaces. Nik has been researching and speaking all futurism for years now and we get into the transition going on between job and pro am vs. career and hobby. We talk about the 8 main areas of tech, and there will be exponential change, yet we are riding the fine line between slavery and freedom. http://nikolasbadminton.com/ In the intro we chat with James about artificial intelligence - the risks and rewards, and the upcoming Grimerica Goes to Space balloon project. Graham shares the UFO quote, and some listener synchronicities and feedback. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8hXlEeqWzQ&app=desktop Saudi's and the new AI city https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gattaca https://x.company/loon/ https://www.broadinstitute.org/what-broad/areas-focus/project-spotlight/questions-and-answers-about-crispr https://www.cnet.com/news/cyborg-interview-hear-colors-with-antenna-in-your-skull/ http://www.opensciencenetwork.org/ http://www.jamesdysonfoundation.com/ https://www.amazon.com/What-Dormouse-Said-Counterculture-Personal/dp/0143036769 http://alcor.org/AboutCryonics/index.html https://www.elsevier.com/connect/Dr-Eric-Topol-Digital-healthcare-will-put-the-patient-in-charge http://cloudheadgames.com/ http://www.maps.org/ Please help support the show….
