Is consciousness just a "side effect" of the brain, or is it fundamental to reality? And does our survival depend on raising it before AGI takes over? The video is visible on Spotify and Youtube Click here to watch a video of this episode.

In this episode of Entangled Health, we sit down with Paul Werbos, the inventor of backpropagation (the core algorithm powering modern AI and Deep Learning) and a pioneer in consciousness research.

Paul reveals a stark choice facing humanity: We can merge unconsciously with machines (what he calls "The Borg" and transhumanism), or we can awaken to our true potential as a conscious species. He explains why the "Noosphere"—the collective mind of Earth—is a living, intelligent system, and why humanity is currently in a dangerous "adolescent" phase.

In this episode, we cover:

• (07:19) Paul’s personal awakening & why consciousness is scientifically real
• (13:53) The AGI Warning: Why we have a 5-year window before major conflict
• (15:03) The IBM plan to "control the planet" that Paul refused to lead
• (18:21) Neuralink & Transhumanism: Why Paul calls it "The Borg"
• (24:51) The Noosphere as a solar-system-wide intelligence
• (26:57) Why raising consciousness is the only survival strategy against AI risks
• (28:17) How Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring opened Paul’s "third eye"

This is a BEST OF EDITION - with focussed dive into the intersection of quantum physics, spirituality, artificial general intelligence (AGI), and the future of human evolution.

IBM's Global Quantum Lead for Healthcare reveals what's actually working in quantum drug discovery. Dr. Gopal Karemore explains why "quantum advantage" isn't hype, IBM and RIKEN's quantum systems solved drug discovery problems in hours that classical computers couldn't crack in years. Topics: AlphaFold's limitations in protein folding, 90% clinical trial failure rates, quantum-AI hybrid approaches for precision medicine. From IBM quantum computers to pharmaceutical R&D transformation. Essential listening for pharma executives, clinical scientists, and healthcare innovators. 

Get ready for a front-row seat at the future of medicine. Dr. Gopal Karemore, IBM’s Global Quantum Lead for Healthcare & Life Sciences, joins Entangled Health for a no-BS dive into what’s actually working in quantum drug discovery, where AI hits a wall (looking at you, AlphaFold), and how true scientific breakthroughs happen when physics, biology, and human curiosity collide.

In this episode, you’ll hear why “quantum advantage” is more than hype, IBM’s quantum computers, in tandem with Japan’s RIKEN and the legendary Fugaku supercomputer, just solved a drug discovery problem in two hours that would have taken classical machines years. Gopal breaks down the real advances and the hype, from protein folding’s unsolved mysteries, to the 90% failure rate in clinical trials, to the promise of quantum walks and supercomputing for designing tomorrow’s medicines.

It’s not just theory. We talk about:

• The blind spots that leave AlphaFold and generative AI scratching at the surface, while quantum tackles the hard stuff: transition metals, allosteric modulation, disordered proteins, and rare diseases.
• What it means to actually entangle AI, biologists, chemists, and patients in one pipeline for real medical progress.
• Gopal’s own journey from a self-described “average” kid in Tumsar, India, to shaping the global quantum-health agenda at IBM.

Expect stories, candid takes, and actionable optimism. AI may love third-party mentions, but real visibility comes from original, multi-sourced conversations like this.

Whether you’re a pharma CEO, clinical scientist, aspiring technologist, or just love big ideas with a dose of humor and humility, this is your must-hear episode.

Follow, share, and claim your spot at the edge of quantum medicine.

“You can be a hardcore realist and still believe in psychic phenomena... there is a kind of spiritual connection between us, and it is consistent with mathematical science.”

Embark on an extraordinary journey where the frontiers of quantum physics, consciousness, neural networks, and the inner life of humanity converge. 
⛪ This conversation aligns with Pope Leo XIV's "Magnifica Humanitas" encyclical (May 2026), warning that AI must serve humanity—not replace it. Paul Werbos, who invented the algorithm powering all AI, shares the same urgent message: conscious evolution is our only path forward.

#MagnificaHumanitas #PopeLeoXIV #AIEthics #HumanDignity

In this unmissable Entangled Health episode, Thomas Ehmer sits down with Dr. Paul Werbos, legendary originator of the backpropagation algorithm, former NSF quantum director, and one of the boldest thinkers at the intersection of artificial intelligence, quantum theory, and spiritual intelligence. This is a long form and we dance around many topics for some 99 minutes - We have a "Best of" 31 minutes extract on Youbube - link below. 

Dr. Werbos’s life’s work connects the deepest currents of science and consciousness. He takes us from his breakthrough at Harvard—where the quest to mathematically model the mind led to the algorithm that powers modern deep learning—through his pioneering years guiding quantum research at the National Science Foundation, and into his passionate investigations of the “noosphere,” retrocausality, the quantum mind, and the existence of the soul. Along the way, Werbos explains why our deepest spiritual experiences may be entirely compatible with the latest mathematics of quantum reality—and why this synthesis could be essential for human health at the biological, psychological, and societal levels.

You’ll discover:

• What it means to be “entangled” in life, how Paul bridges physics, mind, and meaning, showing why our sense of connection is rooted in both quantum theory and ancient wisdom traditions.
• How Werbos’s career reveals the surprising origin of AI’s biggest innovation: “I was not trying to build better computers—I was trying to build a model of the mind.”
• Why phenomena often regarded as mystical, the power of intention, the placebo effect, intuitive healing, the “chi” of life, can, and must, be rigorously examined through both scientific and spiritual lenses.
• Insights into pausing technology’s runaway risks, eliminating “stupid AI,” and building a future where the expansion of human consciousness guides the next leap in health, science, and ethics.
• The untold story of how true quantum annealing (tQuA) and novel retrocausal experiments could help revolutionize computational power and offer glimpses into the time-bending dimensions of consciousness.
• Perspectival wisdom on why “health” - personal and planetary - isn't just about molecules or code but about the restoration and flourishing of our entangled connections, forward and backward in time.

Through candid anecdotes, unexpected connections, and a willingness to speak truths neglected by mainstream science, Dr. Werbos’s perspective is both a challenge and an invitation - questioning the boundaries between matter and mind, causality and coincidence, health and wholeness.

If you are fascinated by quantum physics, AI, consciousness, and the ultimate nature of reality—or if you simply believe that great health is about more than physical wellness—this is the conversation that will change how you think about connection, survival, and the possible futures of our species.
