  • 58 Future Now - Interview/Discussion - Making Democracy Wise - with Jim Rough and Casandra Firman

    Listen to 58 Future Now Wise Democracy

    Transcript

    This week we are on the  road in beautiful Port Townsend, Washington, visiting Jim Rough, founder of www.wisedemocracy.org and Casandra Firman, Jim’s wife and partner in updating democracy as we know it. We all know about the importance of voting, and the necessities of jury duty and national defence as citizens, but have you heard of collaborative ‘choice creation?’ Jim and Cassandra help us understand what that means and why it so important for our modern democracy to embrace. In today’s show we also explore related concepts, such as ‘to-beism’ in relation to the economy, unity through choice creation, the role of George Washington as a ‘space creator,’ building trust, and other elements in keeping our system up-to-date. Enjoy!

    Listen to 56 Future Now Show

    Transcript

    Some cool stories this week, including our very own Taylor Barcroft’s admission he is a Swiftie, in the Taylor Swift sense of the word. Who knew?  Besides sharing his Swiftie passion he updates us on the latest in Apple Tech, waveforms of the word ‘water’ in many languages onboard Europa Clipperincluding what’s coming up soon, like Siri 2 this summer!   If you’ve ever wondered what Hitler sounds like if he spoke native English, wonder no more, we play you one of the AI clips that has gone viral.  This clip did inspire a political conversation on authoritarianism and US politics, which is rare for us. 

    The Europa Clipper mission is coming up soon and we share with you some of the magic of this space adventure, as it is exploring a fellow water world in our very own solar system.  There is a cool plaque about water on board, and a world class poem about water, which is quite delightful!

  • 55 Future Now - The Elon/OpenAI law suit and the rise of AGI, NASA sonifies entire Galaxy and The Cosmic Hand, Gaian Mind Sensors, Bird-sized Ornithocopter, real-time 3D map of Solar System, Blood test for Dementia, Methylene Blue uses
    Listen to 55 Future Now
    View Transcript
    Lots happening in the AI universe this week, including Sun’s quite humorous report with examples of Google’s faux paus in the name of woke culture.  EMO by AliBaba is scary-good at taking any source image plus audio and making the image look like they are saying/singing the audio. This can bring to life any decent picture of a person, ressurecting dead friends and relatives, putting words in anyone’s mouth. EMO is not released yet, but should be out in time for fun shenanigans with the upcoming presidential election..We also discuss the law suit between Elon Musk and OpenAI, a big issue when it comes to the public being aware of what’s actually going on with the rise of AGI, Artifician General Intelligence.  Could that holy grail alread exist in the form of Q*, or perhaps even Sora, OpenAI’s formidable entery in the text to video arena? We discuss.  
    Some great space news this week, including sonification of several interesting areas of interest in space, and a very cool interactive 3D map of the solar system, including the planets, moons, asteroids, space probes, and many earth satellites, all in real time! In the medical world we are excited to report of a blood test that works for some forms of dementia, such as Altzheimers.  Bobby shares a use of biographical video recording that helped his mother, when she was suffering from dementia, and discusses Methylene Blue, a long time compound that seems to stimulate the brain’s neurons by increasing mitochondrial function.  Enjoy!

  • 54 Future Now - Space News, Dr. Bruce Damer on the Fourth Path of Psychedelics, Greg Panos on wrangling your AIs
    Listen To 54 Future Now 
    View Transcript

    Dr. Bruce Damer is a  scientist and entrepreneur known for his groundbreaking work in origin of life research and virtual worlds. With expertise spanning astrobiology and computer science, he passionately explores the intersection of technology and the origins of life on Earth and beyond. Now he is focused on what he refers to the Fourth Path of Psychedelics, or the return to more rigorous research into psychedelics and their potential use in creativity, innovation, and problem solving for today’s troubled world.  

    Dr. Bruce Damer investigating indigenous psychedelics In the second half of today’s show, Billy Sunshine checks in for a discussion with celebrated VR/AR pioneer Greg Panos on the taming of the AIs, with reference to Google’s Gemini debacle, a problem of serious bias and hallucination on the part of the company’s flagship AI product. Perhaps we need a psychedelic for the AI’s, or are they already tripping too hard and need to be grounded in reality?

  • 53 Future Now - Stormy weather stories, Our media experiments with AI, In Memoriam- Science Poetry by Len Anderson, Wooden Satellites, Nukes in Space, Lunar Landing!
    Listen to 53 Future Now Show Len Science Poetry
    View Transcript
    What’s great about stormy weather is that stirs up some great stories, and out here in California it means we have more indoor time.  This translated into more creative time for us play with some of the new AI media tools coming our way.  So in this week’s show you’ll have a preview of what’s possible in telling your tales in more spectacular ways. My favorite experiment so far is our Scifi short, “First Contract,” about a group of intergalactic trader priests negotiating with an off planet entheogenic humanlike tribe living in a tropical rain forest. We have completed just the first couple of minutes sans visuals, a nice tease..
    Our last radio broadcast with poet/scientist Len Anderson
    We are sad about the passing of Santa Cruz poet/physicist Len Anderson, but happy that we are able to share some of his science poetry.  A large part of Len’s work deals poetically with spiritual and metaphysical themes, and funny! One of his poems starts like a joke,”Science and Mysticism walk into a bar, and decide to have it all out in the back alley, each accusing the other of not knowing what he is talking about.,” His friend and colleague on the frontier, Dr. Nick Herbert, wrote a touching in memoriam of Len, on Nick’s blog, including the rest of this poem. So if want to know who won, see you in podcast!

  • 52 Future Now - New Luna Landings, Evolutionary Chiral Current Tech, Interview - Randall Lee Hopper on Free Food, Vitamins, and Tech for those in need
    Listen to 52 Future Now Randall Lee Hopper
    View Transcript
    Some great space news this week, including a new US lunar lander touching down this month; if successful, the Nova-C Lunar Lander by Intuitive Machinesfirst US craft on the moon since 1972! We also explore what are known as ‘chiral currents,’ a new approach to tech which may be as significant as electrons are to modern day electronics!  
    And we had a great interview with Randall Lee Hopper, a local visionary/entrepreneur who shares with us how is able to procure and distribute an abundance of free food, books, tools, vitamins, and consumer tech from both local, domestic, and international sources. We think you’ll appreciate his understanding of our region’s food recycling ecosystem.  He also shares with us his enthusiasm for of a new kind of social space where people can freely eat, drink, talk, read, and connect to create a better life.  Enjoy!

    Listen to Future Now 2.6.2024
    View Transcript
    We recorded this show in the aftermath of a large west coast storm, and if you listened in realtime, you would have heard the numerous tech glitches that happened, including dropping off the air multiple times.  But for the podcast version you get to focus on what we found most fascinating this week, not the glitches. In Space News, for example, the PACE mission will dramatically improve our tracking of life and weather over the Earth’s oceans, and led to a conversation on how other creatures of this planet may also benefit from our planetary tech.  If you like glowy things, consider the first commerical glowing house plant, a petunia with a biolumenescent gene from  a South American mushroom!  If that is too silly for you, consider deploying bio-engineered bacteria that eat our waste plastic, a relatively low cost/low impact approach to cleaning up our polymer messes.  We also have fun looking at the new Short TakeOff and Landing aircraft under development, the the exciting new infrared NASA photos of Jupiter’s highly volcanic moon, IO.  Hot spots all over, enjoy!

  • 50 Future Now - Moon Lander falls over, Robots attacked, AI prevents potholes, Obelisks- a new life form, Russian Spirit Fest debuts
    Listen to 50 Future Now Show
    View Transcript
    Even though the Japanese moon lander kind of crashed, it is still sort of functional..better than nothing! Robots are making their way into society, but not without some issues from the street..Obelisks-a new kind of life smaller than viruses than live within microbes..
    This week we covered the “Spirit Fest,” a gathering of mostly Russian families in the Bay Area interested in mind/body/spirit aspects of life.  In a way it was reminiscent of the great Whole Life Expos of the 1980’s, yet very different in that most of the workshops were based on traditions from Russia and conducted in Russian. It was relatively small in size, with a few hundred folks in attendance including, I might add, many very beautiful women. There was evolution and change in the air, a good feeling! It was a day filled with workshops, meditations, tantric practices, music, dance, and mind-blowing transformational experiences .
    We were guests of Svetlana Doroganich, a psychologist who had trained with Stanislav Grof, M.D., famous for his pioneering work in LSD Psychotherapy. In this week’s show, you will meet several of the festival’s presenters, including Svetlana, Dennis Zaika on cosmic energy, and Nikita with Alexaner, pioneers in the integration of spirit and psilocybin. Enjoy!
