Dr. Michael Hudson is a professor of Economics at the University of Missouri Kansas City, a political consultant, commentator, and journalist. His career has focused on the study of debt, both external and internal, with an eye on what happens when the exponentially growing debts of a society outstrip the profits from the real economy. We talk about GDP is a false marker of prosperity, the growing influence of the rentier class, fantasies of joining the one percent, and why there’s never going to be another debt jubilee, even if it means the whole system has to fall apart. We continue the conversation about possible solutions in part 2, which will be released on Thursday. In the meantime, check out Dr. Hudson’s books: https://amzn.to/44F6J7n

DemystifySci goes solo. We talk about placebo mechanisms in psychedelic research, why no one can put together a good protest any more, and most importantly, Shilo lays out his structured water hypothesis for why spores stay asleep, in context of his recent Nature paper about hydration solids, a new kind of biomaterial: https://rdcu.be/ddZgd

PODCAST INFO:  Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities.

Dr. James Tour is a Professor of Chemistry, Materials Science and Nanoengineering at Rice University who comes to defend a bold claim: that origin of life researchers are completely clueless about the mechanisms by which life arose on Earth. We start out with talking about Tour’s chemistry work, which includes a method of producing no cost hydrogen fuel and graphene too cheap to meter, the foundations on which he’s built his science empire, and get down to the vital chemistry questions that need to be answered before we can figure out what the earliest cells could have looked like.

Dr. Stephen Grossberg is a cognitive scientist, theoretical psychologist, neuroscientists and mathematician who, with Gail Carpenter, is the originator of Adaptive Resonance Theory - an explanation of how we learn without catastrophic forgetting. It also happens to be a solution to the hard problem of consciousness. We discuss the problem of catastrophic forgetting, the ways that resonant states lead to consciousness, the AI cliques that have taken over the industry, and why AGI is impossible under current design parameters. Check out his book, Conscious Mind, Resonant Brain: https://amzn.to/3PshWnc00:00:00 Go!

Dr. Alexander Unzicker is a neuroscientist, theoretical physicst, and award-winning non-fiction author who has just published a new book on Dr. Pierre Marie Robitaille’s liquid metallic hydrogen model of the sun. We speak to him about the theory, why Kirchhoff’s Law of Thermal Emission is so important, evidence for chemistry in the photosphere, and much more.

Dr. Shane Simonsen is a an experimental farmer and speculative biologist who breeds crops that can thrive under zero-input conditions in a post-industrial future. We talk about his vision for the lumbering collapse of the petroleum-fueled present, the rise of the biopunks, and the limitations of our imagination when it comes to military tech, psychological weapons, and the dark art of crowd control.

Stephen Crothers is a mathematician, physicist, and scholar of relativity who believes there are fundamental mistakes in the mathematics that have created an impenetrable confusion at the heart of physics for more than a hundred years. We talk to him about how errors in equations get propagated from mind to paper to pen, the ways in which relativity has created impossible features that defy explanation, and the curve-fitting crisis at LIGO and WMAP that undermines the foundational pillars of the Big Bang.

Carver Mead is an emeritus professor of engineering and applied science at Caltech, where he has taught for more than thirty years. We talk to him about his work on simplifying the foundations of mathematical physics, his days as a pioneer in integrated circuit technology, incorrect interpretations of Gravity Probe B, and some proposed experiments for testing the coupling between gravitation, momentum, and the speed of light.

Joscha Bach is a German artificial intelligence researcher and cognitive scientist who works on on cognitive architectures, mental representation, emotion, social modeling, and multi-agent systems. We got connected over the hard problem of consciousness - namely, why do people seem to think it’s so hard? During our conversation we deal with the foundational questions of the technological future being built in Silicon Valley, the fever dream of machine intelligence, and try to understand why people seem to think that there’s even such a thing as the hard problem of consciousness in the first place.

Dr. Martin Sweatman is a chemical engineer at the University of Edinburgh working in both statistical mechanics and archaeoastronomical studies of symbolism at Göbekli Tepe. Our conversation with Dr. Sweatman circles around the missing pieces in our modern narrative of the emergence of civilization after the last glaciation. Might Göbekli Tepe have not been the first city but merely the oldest remaining after an extraordinary cataclysm like the Younger Dryas impact?
