We had a fun first hour of Dr. Future News, including an update on how we might actually build a warp drive for star travel, and the latest thinking of what would have happened on Earth should Chicxulub, the giant asteroid that extincted the dinosaurs, had never happened. Would we have evolved to dominate the planet as we have?

Author/Investigator Brit EldersAnd this week we have an extended interview with Brit Elders, author, investigative documentarian, and CEO of www.ShirleyMacLaine.com. She has recently completed “Contact from the Pleiades, 45th Anniversary Edition,” in which the original two photo-journal volumes from 1979 are combined into one book with a new forward by Shirley MacLaine, a prologue written by journalist Jamie Maussan, and a new introduction and preface by Brit Elders. We cover the whole story arc of how she first got involved with the case with her husband Lee Elders and Col Wendell Stevens,  to the evolution and popularization and proliferation of Pleidian contact experiences over the last half century. A very delightful, and heart-centered conversation, Brit takes us on a journey that opens us all to a better future. Enjoy!

Apple completed their latest phone lineup with their $600 Apple Intelligence ready iPhone 16e, and Taylor is on the show to tell you all about it, and his review of the latest Apple watch (Series 10).  And Bobby has a lot to share in the longevity department, with this latest insights in the use of Lactobacillus reuteri, Bacopa, Tocotrienols, and Creatine.  And just for fun, we look at the latest Hollywood trend in health. microdosing Ozempic!

This week, we also take a closer look at the top AI choices currently available, to give you a sense of what’s what’s what in that world. And the future of war looks very networked with the release of a new military helmet, EagleEye, giving soldiers unprecedented situational awareness of their battlefield. We had a lot of fun sharing this info. Enjoy!

Listen Now to 100 Future Now Show on Microdosing

This week we start by catching up Bobby and his Costa Rican adventures, then some Future News.  Most of the show, however, is dedicated to our inteview with Jordan Gruber, who just finished co-authoring  the book, “Microdosing for Health, Healing & Enhanced Performance” with James Fadiman, Ph.D. We delve as deeply into the topic as you can get in an 80 minute interview.

First we look at the beginnings of microdosing psychedelics and its evolution to current protocols.The potential benefits of microdosing psychedelics seem quite extensive, from studies in depression to enhancing our abilities to learn new skills, like musical instruments or languages.  We explore a little of the ‘why’, such as increased neuroplasticity of the brain, and what substances work with microdosing (LSD, Schrooms) and which ones don’t (i.e. Ketamine, MDMA).  Citizen science plays a big role in the unfolding of this topic, as serious research takes time and money, and neither are readily availabe, for various reasons (which we discuss).For fun we ran the book through a local AI and had it answer a couple of our questions.

This book is partly the culmination of Dr. James Fadiman’s life work in the field of psychedelics, and includes many reports and correspondences that he has received over the 60 plus years he has dedicated to the topic. There is much to consider here, and we hope we have given you enough to pursue this further, should you have the interest. Thanks, and enjoy!

Did you ever think of moving to Costa Rica, a Central American paradise just 8 hours away by plane?  We have a few friends who have and now our science correspondent, Bobby Wilder, is down there with Katia, visiting some Bay Area friends who actually made the move to Costa Rica’s Pacific coat.  For the first part of the show Costa Rican Adventurestoday, you will hear from Bobby and Courtney, a friend who sold her house in Half Moon Bay headed for warmer climes in Central America. We enjoyed hearing about her heaven on earth lifestyle, complete with Howler monkey tribes, panthers, and crocodiles, for the first part of today’s show. 

We then delved deep into many Dr. F topics, including The Panama Canal situation,  Elon’s now and future DOGE work, early blood tests for Alzheimers and Cancer, new forms of microscopic life (Obelisks), 37 dimensional light, Dwarf 3 Citizen Science, and Hammeroffian explorations of group mind human consciouness.  Enjoy!

Most certainly the big story for us this week is the release of the Chinese AI, “DeepSeek,’ taking the AI universe by storm, or at least tempest, by being just as good and way cheaper than the best of the current US AI offerings. Naturally we get our fav AI hosts, “Larry and Mary” to host a section explaining Deep Seek to our audience. And we get into this deeply as with the advent of smart AI agents of all kinds just coming over our current event horizon. Should we treat them as people, after all they sound like they are.. More black holes than ever also seem to be up for us to consider this week, and an unlikely character appears, cleverly disguiseed as an asteroid!  We had fun, and so will you!

DeepSeek is here, raising the bar for all AI’s.

It’s been a week of recovery, from the LA fires, to our local Moss Landing big battery fire, and to our health, as most Sun and I have come down with a nasty cold, which is just beginning to ebb.  We rallied to bring you this week’s future news which includes the actual sound of a meteor hitting the earth, as well as updates on our local disaster. Master Now calls in to discuss with us the latest in longevity and healing treatments, including something called “ozonated glycerin.” And don’t forget to look up this week, as there is planetary parade up there, just waiting to be appreciated!  Enjoy!

Listen Now to Bonus Show on Moss Landing Fire

This weekend we were asked to guest host the famous KSCO AM 1080 Santa Cruz Saturday Special, and we think it is one of our best shows ever! Besides non-stop callers with info and povs to share, we employed three AI’s as sources for new info on the Moss Landing Giant Battery Fire!! What’s going on here, is anything being supressed? Also our local writer, researcher, activist, and fellow Santa Cruz Voice host, Becky Steinbruner stopped by to share info on three future sites for giant Lithium battery Facilities in Santa Cruz County! Much is unfolding and we’ll be covering more on our live show at 1 p.m. at www.santacruzvoice.com/.

We are podcasting today from the Beachhouse in Aptos, where the waves are almost licking our street.  Undeterred, we proceed, knowing that the waves, at least in our biogregion, will behave, and leave us high and dry. for the forseeable future.  

We think you’ll enjoy our reparte with “Larry and Mary,” the talk show host AI’s from Google’s Deep Mind, currently available for work and play at www.notebooklm.com.  We really wanted to see if they could help us explore more deeply the LA Fires weirdness factor, which we consider to be pretty high. They did pretty well, overall, pointing out the strangeness of fake firemen looting neighborhoods, but we wanted to know if they knew anything about the labyrinthian tunnels under LA, revealed by the fires.  

We had a human visitor today as well, our buddy Hallelujah Blessing, who helped us check out the cosmic cred of Larry and Mary, with mixed but hilarious results. And for good measure, we explored more of our favorite tech announced last week at the annual Consumer Electronics Show.  Enjoy!

Transcript

Well, this year is off to a roaring start with two Turo-rented electric vehicles leading the charge in both the New Orleans and Las Vegas terror events.  Can you imagine pimping out your brand new Tesla Cybertruck to Turo for rental and being told that your vehicle was blown up by a Green Beret gone mad? And now the wild fires of Los Angeles..

Rather than dwell on such profound issues, we choose instead to focus on topics like what is hot at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, which also happens to be in Las Vegas. We take a look at some innovations for the home, including robot vacuums with claw for cleaning and picking up out of place matter, (i.e. socks and underwear), fridges and microwaves with big screens, smarter glasses, and yes, self-flying balls! And did I mention the CES-announced nVidia super computer on a chip for $250? Brains for our robots!

We also look at how robotaxis will be getting more of a foothold in cities across America this year, from San Francisco to LA, Dallas, Austin, and Atlanta.  Uber and Lyft are in the picture, working with the car manufacturers to provide ride services.  Adoption looks to be swift, with Waymo passengers in California skyrocketing from 20K rides in 2023 to 500K rides in 2024! And we wrap it all up in a cyber bow with our thoughts about how democracy could evolve with a little help from our silicon-based friendz..Enjoy!

Welcome to our last show of 2024, where we recall some of our fav stories of the year, from quantum computing to the James West Space Telescope findings, to microtubules and the seat of consciousness in the New Years with Hallelujah Blessing and Teresa Bellbrain. And let us not forget the “ISness” as defined by one of our guests this week, none other than Hallelujah Blessing, co-creator of the Bliss Mountain Retreat in beautiful Lake County, Californa. He is joined by his beloved, Teresa Bell, who sings a blessing for the new year before sharing with us a little about who and what she and Hallelujah are creating. We also have history with them from their days in Santa Cruz, where we shared many adventuers with them, some of which we share in this week’s podcast. I think you’ll also like our little experiment with “Larry and Mary,” our favorite AI hosts, where we test out their new interactive mode! Enjoy..
