Listen Now to Dr. Mark Hastings A long time chiroparactor and practitioner of wholistic health, Dr. Mark Hastings discusses with us his new book, The Well of Truth, about how our thoughts create our experiences in life.  Drawn from his experiences with thousands of patients and personal practice of mind training exercises, he outlines in less than 70 pages the essential processes of reprogramming your brain to create a better life.  You may not agree with everything he says, but Mark does claim that if you apply the lessons outlined, the results speak for themselves.  I think you’ll enjoy our explorations of the mind with the good doctor..Enjoy!

Listen Now to Future News 9.04.2018 Lots of robots this week! We loved the giant orb at Burningman, celebrating robots this year as it’s theme. And we are looking forward to Japan’s Hayabusa-2 spacecraft sending a lander to Ryugu, a near earth object, an asteroid orbiting our planet, later this month.  Once it lands, it will be deploying to two spring-powered robots to investigate the giant space rock, bouncing around until they find something interesting to report. There is also a new commercial kitchen robot, “Flippy,” and an international UN conference to try to ban Killer Robots (they failed). Meanwhile, other robots have discovered massive amounts of water on Jupiter, suggesting that the giant red spot may be powered by the life-giving substance and perhaps might support life on the gas giant.  Could life actually exist on Jupiter..maybe… Enjoy! This year’s Burning Man festival theme was “I, Robot,” and two Danish designers caught people’s attention with a 100-foot-tall orb on a mast.

Listen Now to Dr Future Show 8.28.2018 We tried a new experiment this week, where we have one of regular guests, Dr. Bruce Damer, comment on many of this week’s stories from a session we held the night before the show in our Future Peak hot tub.  Let us know what you think, as there was lots to comment on, from ghost black holes to frozen troves of water on the moon. We also chat with and have a musical guest artist, Little Panda,  sing a couple of fresh tunes for us, on her visit to KSCO studios during our show.  And another of our regular guests, Greg Panos, weighs in on the long-awaited Magic Leap One, a highly anticipated entree into the augmented reality arena.  Enjoy!

Listen Now to Debate on Orbital Space Art With the advent of cheap space flight we are poised with the opportunity to create amazing art in space that can be seen by millions of people. But will it be good art or schock? And who decides what is seen by millions fo people at the same time? The latest project along these lines, simply known as “The Orbital Reflector,” is a reflective, inflatable sculpture affixed to a small satellite that, once ejected, will orbit the earth for several weeks before disintegrating upon re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere. The artistic vision of Orbital Reflector, according to their website, “encourages all of us to look up at the night sky with a renewed sense of wonder, to consider our place in the universe, and to reimagine how we live together on this planet.” Or will this new art just create space junk, a showboating  stunt that could start a precedent  for invasive and uninvited intrusion into the celestial canopy of all the people of the world? To help us evaluate this new kind of art, we speak with Kit Galloway, early high tech artist, and co-founder of the orginal Electronic Cafe, and Don Davis, long time NASA space artist and animator.  We have quite a lively debate which we believe you will enjoy!    

Listen Now to Future News 8.21.2018 Hi folks, we are back from vacation with the latest in Future News and a little report from our adventures. It looks like we’ll soon be bringing back to Earth a sample from an asteroid, that the moon may have enough water to make it practical for colonies there, that there are lots of water worlds in the Milky Way, and we’ll have some amazing new tools for exploring them. Back on Earth, 3D printing tech is helping us save the coral reefs, and magnetic pole reversal happens way faster than we thought! Enjoy..

Listen Now to Future News 7.25.2018  Our last show before our Canadian vacation, we take a closer look at how we are probing the mysteries of the raging global Martian dust storm currently underway, and the Sun itself, soon to be under scrutiny of our NASA Parker Probe.  Our NASA scientists will be trying to figure out how a small dust storm becomes global using data collected from the nuclear powered Curiosity rover and our 3 orbiting probes.  And the Parker Probe will be exploring such mysteries as why the Sun’s atmosphere is 300 times hotter than the solar surface. Lots of AI news this week, with Russian androids heading to the International Space Station, a new pledge from AI scientists not to make killer robots, and a new AI division at the Pentagon for overseeing the 600 plus AI projects currently being funded by the DOD.  And designer babies are a step closer to reality with a green light in Britain to advance reproductive health with three parent children.  Quite exciting, enjoy!

Listen Now to Dr. Duncan McCullum A local Santa Cruz chiropractor, Dr. McCollum embodies a wholistic and preventative approach to one’s personal well-being, with particular attention to cellular health and detoxification practices, beyond usual chiropractic treatments.  He points out that when properly detoxed, the biological systems in the human body will generate their own stem cells for self-repair and with fasting, the weaker cells will be eliminated from the system. A fascinating interview, and by taking heed of his advice, we expect to greatly improve our everyday health.  Enjoy! Dr. Duncan McCullum, DC on Optimal Health practices

Listen Now to Future News 7.17.2018 Wow, ten new moons around Jupiter, including one that is orbiting in the opposite direction of all the others, just asking for a collision, not unlike driving on the wrong side of the freeway! And back home, acoustic research suggests we have quintillions of diamonds below the Earth’s Mantle, amazing. But we’d have to travel a hundred miles beneath the surface to get them.  Sounds straightforward, but we’ve never achieved anything close to that as yet..but if we do, we’d be as rich as the fabled asteroid miners of the near future, and their Luxenborgian backers (another intriquing story this week). Enjoy!

Listen Now to Future News 7.10.2018 It was quite exciting to hear of the successful rescue of the Wild Boars Soccer team from the cave in Thailand this week; and it was especially interesting that the boys had learned meditation from their coach, who had spent 10 of his 25 years in a Buddhist monastery.  We also found Elon Musk’s quick design of a rescue submarine for the team fascinating.  And I think you’ll find our other stories this week also quite engaging, including Mrs. Future’s personal recollection of her dad’s discussion of UFOs with Dr. Future, and the spooky plasma music traveling from Saturn to it’s weirdest moon, Enceladus. Enjoy!

Listen Now to Gabrielle Cianfrani The future of politics? Does politics even have a future? From a deeply political Pennsylvania family, Gabrielle has a unique view of politics from the inside view of a Senator’s daughter, and as someone who  at first genuinely believed that our political system served the people. But after many years of serving as a legislative assistant to the head state democratic finance manager, she now believes campaign finance rerform should be front and center in any political future worth living. Special interest lobbies without massive financing evens the playing field. And the power of govenment returns to the interests of the constituency. And the Internet? Consider that computer networks can easily be perfect socialists when it comes to distributing the wealth. And beyond that, enjoy the show!
