Listen Now to Dr. Future News 6.04.13

Boy, was Italy a great place to visit, but when it comes to using GPS apps, and having bandwidth, not so good.  We share a couple of our experiences along these realms.   With thousands upon thousands of applicants applying for the Martian colonists slots for the upcoming 2023 Dutch space mission, we are getting some interesting 1 minute video auditions..as you will hear..and the innovations this week are amazing, especially the lensless camera coming from Bell Labs.  Enjoy..

Exploring the Mystery of Life and Communications after Death

Listen Now to Dr. Annie Kagan

We are back from Europe with many tales to share.  On the way back in the plane I was reading a very personal and touching book by a woman who was in communications with her dead brother, called The Afterlife of Billy Fingers.  It wasn’t long after I landed that I got a call from my brother in NY, informing me that my father had just passed..  

So, following my cues, we’ll be interviewing Dr. Annie Kagan today, about her experiences of evidence of life after death and communications with the ‘other side.’  

Dr. Future Show "Future Week" Interviews in Vienna, Austria

We are still in Europe this week, currently in a beautiful but bandwidth challenged town in  Italy (Positano). There is not enough bandwidth to do our live show this week, but we are uploading some interviews we did at FutureWeek Vienna a few days ago.

This first interview is with Dr. Wolfgang Hoeschele, a Germany professor teaching at Truman University in Indiana.  He just wrote “The Economy of Abundance”, outlining a new way to think about economics, money and resources, and has started an online wiki, “The Commons Abundance Network,” for creating a new paradigm of sharing and distributing wealth.  

Tired of today’s pyramid of weath and interested in new ways of sharing the abundance of what we truly have?  Check out our interview with Wolfgang Hoeschele here.

From Future Week in Vienna, Austria - on Global Villages and the Global Villages Network

Listen Now to Dr. Future Show in Vienna, Austria

We take the show on the road this week to Vienna, Austria, where we meet Franz Nahrada, hotelier and founder of the Global Villages Network, and Jeff Buderer, a long-time member of Arcosanti, a visionary community founded by Italian architect Paolo Solari, in the Arizona desert.

Creating global eco-villages is a new paradigm for thinking about where we could live in the future, with roots in the ancient tradition of European monasticism.  We explored these ideas extensively while staying in Vienna at Franz Nahrada’s Hotel Karolinahof, celebrating his family ownership of this venerable Viennese destination since 1913.  

Dr. Future News and Interview - Canadian ex-Defence Minister UFO disclosure, Bars Ban Google Glass, visiting Swedish publisher Lars Ling is our guest, editor of Clean Tech Region, a publication about the global rise of Clean Tech

Yes, it is quite interesting that super conservative Canadian ex-Defence Minister Paul Hellyer would speak out on UFO disclosure at this time in history..however, it doesn’t appear anything will be coming out of our government on this matter anythime soon, despite Hellyer’s plea for authorities to spill the beans…It is interesting to hear what he has to say, nonetheless, as he takes us down the rabbit hole of aliens, illuminati, elites, power and coverups, in his 20 minute talk.

And as Google Glass begins its journey onto the heads of everyone, it is starting to run into a little resistance.  Some people (and places), it appears, still get upset about being recorded without their explicit permission. Privacy issues are once again being discussed as Glass renders the Zoie chip in the scifi film Final Cut, a reality.  Yet, it is inevitable that resistance is futile.  Why?  Dr. Future expounds a bit on this on the show..

If you have any desire to save the world and/or make it a better place to live, you’ll enjoy listening to our in studio guest this week, Lars Ling.  A Swede on a mission, he founded Clean Tech Region Magazine to connect and inform a growing cadre of humans interested in eco friendly “Clean Tech. ”  He is traveling through the USA right now, speaking and connecting with companies, academics, and individuals about this rising global phenomenon with its start in Sweden, a place that embraces this nature-based technology evolution.

Interestingly, Lar’s magazine was recently bought by International Data Group, a consortium of publication, events, and technology that gave me my first start in high tech writing at Infoworld.. a tip of the hat to Pat McGovern, who started all this and gave me a break in the early days  :-)

Next week we’ll be recording our show from Vienna, Austria at the FutureWeek Salon, with some future leaning Austrians!
