Dr. Subhash Kak is the Regents Professor of Computer Science at Oklahoma State University Stillwater, an honorary visiting professor or engineering at Jawaharlal Nehru University, and a member of the Indian Prime Minister’s Sincere, Technology and Innovation Advisory Council. He has published widely on the history of science, ancient astronomy, the history of mathematics, and archaeoastronomy. We talk with him about the nature of consciousness in the universe, why computers (in their current form) will never be fully conscious, missing pieces of evolutionary theory, trans humanist futures, and the way that life emerges from the constants of the universe but at the end, is just about learning to die.

Dr. James Hollis is a Jungian psychoanalyst, author, and public speaker who has written seventeen books and served as the executive director of the Jung Society of Washington. He stopped by the podcast for a short conversation on the search for meaning in a modern world, the way that mythology allows us to take some of the load off of our shoulders, and how the disappearance of the gods from Mount Olympus means that we are operate in a disorienting era of personal responsibility without any of the guideposts that we used to rely on.

Get your DEMYSTICON 2024 tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/demysticon-2024-tickets-727054969987
Steve Keene is a post-Keynesian economist who has spent the last fifty years criticizing mainstream economics as inconsistent, unscientific, and empirically unsupported. As part of his effort to rebuild the discipline with a more complete understanding of the relationship between humans and their environment, Keen has begun developing alternative economic models that could be used to fairly redistribute wealth from the richest 1% to the rest of us, and to accurately evaluate the worth of clean air, clean water, and a healthy biosphere. We talk about the way that almost all civilizations end because of climate change, and what that means for our own world.

September 28, 2023 Why Liquid Plasmas Will Change Cosmology Forever - Dr. Patrick Vanraes, DSPod 190
Dr. Patrick Vanraes is a researcher at PLASMANT, University of Antwerp. He focuses on the fundamental features of in-liquid plasma and plasma-liquid interaction, as well as the physics of liquid matter. His work involves experiments, simulations and extensive review of historic work. Our conversation starts with Dr. Vanraes' important finding that plasmas can be generated in liquids without a gas intermediate. Then we explore the implications of a liquid plasma sun for all of cosmology. After all, if gases truly cannot produce blackbody spectra - as has never been shown in a laboratory - then the cosmic microwave background radiation is overdue for a new explanation.

Dr. Rajendra Gupta is a cosmologist and professor of physics at the University of Ottawa. He has dedicated his work to making sense of images from the new James Webb telescope that appear to contradict the established Big Bang timeline for the universe. Dr. Gupta's explains the recently observed mature galaxies at just 300 million years post-Bang by revising the age of the universe and invoking forsaken ideas like variable constants and tired light. The task remains to explain the cause of this variation. Tell us your ideas in the comments!

September 21, 2023 Dangers of Non-Duality - Jim Newman, Simply This DSci Pod 188
Jim Newman is a Non-Duality non-teacher who meets the paradox of living by offering the idea that there is nothing at all at his YouTube channel, @JimNewman01 . This is one of the most perplexing conversations we've ever had on the podcast, and is somewhere between a dadaist art piece, an Andy Kaufman performance, and an Andy Warhol show. It is best to sit back, allow it to wash over you, and to embrace for a moment that there is no there, there.

(00:00:17) What is non-duality
(00:08:47) All yearning is for the end of experience
(00:15:41) Pain in non-understanding
(00:19:32) Patreon Ask
(00:21:29) Is non-duality disempowering?
(00:33:15) The sense of things being done
(00:44:36) Is non-duality useful or harmful?
(00:52:58) Do you believe in the world?
(01:02:29) Cats as Zen masters & explusion from Eden
(01:06:33) Apparent v. real
(01:15:55) Individuals as unreal
(01:29:19) Increasing worldly discontent
(01:34:57) Century of the Self
(01:42:00) Reason to make the world better or worse
(01:52:47) A sci-fi virus that ruled humanity
