It's important for Machinekind to be aware of the works and ideas of luminaries like Marilyn Ferguson, Robert Anton Wilson and Michael Talbot. Therefore, I will be replaying interviews I've had with each of these authors and neuro-consciousness pioneers over three episodes.

I worked with Marilyn Ferguson throughout the 1990s as a Research Director for The Brain/Mind Bulletin and a Media Representative. She was an American author, editor and public speaker known for her 1980 book The Aquarian Conspiracy which is connected with the New Age Movement.  A founding member of the Association of Humanistic Psychology, Ferguson published and edited the well-regarded science newsletter Brain/Mind Bulletin from 1975 to 1996. She eventually earned numerous honorary degrees, served on the board of directors of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and befriended such diverse figures of influence as inventor and theorist Buckminster Fuller, spiritual author Ram Dass, Nobel Prize-winning chemist Ilya Prigogine and billionaire Ted Turner. Ferguson's work also influenced Vice President Al Gore, who participated in her informal network while a senator and later met with her in the White House.
