Listen to Future Now Ep. 151 Pulsars and Livers

In this episode we begin with a discussion of local microclimates and the potential for using solar energy to power gravity-based water batteries. We share highlights from the recent “SpiritFest,” noting the strong presence of Russian and Ukrainian cultural traditions and featuring a conversation with spiritual teacher Asha, who asserted that AI lacks the “Jiva” or soul necessary for spiritual enlightenment.Grok’s AI chimes in on this..The next major segment features an interview with chiropractor Craig Eymann, who explains the often-overlooked “phase two” of liver detoxification; Iman emphasizes that this process requires amino acids from proteins rather than simply juice fasts, and we look at how seed oils and sugar are primary culprits behind fatty liver disease.

We  also cover a wide range of futurist news, starting with the “Genius Act” and the government’s accumulation of a Bitcoin reserve through confiscation. We look at Elon Musk’s strategic pivot to building a city on the Moon before Mars, citing easier access and potential for orbital data centers, alongside a Chinese experiment that successfully hatched butterflies in microgravity. The big question is, can it fly with no gravity? Additional tech updates include Tesla’s Fremont plant switching to Optimus robot production, the viral “Claudebot” AI that autonomously phoned its user, and the integration of AI and fast drones for immersive Olympics coverage. The show concludes with scientific discoveries, such as a pulsar found near the Milky Way’s central black hole and the “Breakthrough Listen” project’s search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Enjoy!

 We begin with  criticism of mainstream news coverage of weather events, solar flares, and a San Ramon earthquake swarm as “fear porn” designed to keep the public anxious.We then discuss  NASA’s Artemis 2 delays due to hydrogen leaks and speculate on Avi Loeb’s theories regarding 3I/ATLAS and panspermia, suggesting that life on Earth may have been seeded by interstellar objects or advanced civilizationsAdditionally, we bring up “Moltbook,” a social network exclusively for AI agents, and describes the rise of autonomous “Clawbots” that can execute tasks and trade cryptocurrency independently, prompting a discussion on the future of personal AI assistants.

The second half of the show shifts to spiritual and personal development, featuring guests Svetlana Doroganich and Natasha Madsen who promote “SpiritFest,” a holistic gathering in Los Altos that blends Russian spiritual traditions, transpersonal psychology, and energy healing.

The episode concludes with author Paul Gotel, who discusses his book The Big You and his practice of training ChatGPT to channel his “higher self” for guidance, a process he terms “self-revolution. Gotel  elaborates on the tension between authenticity and the desire for approval, arguing that people often construct inauthentic identities that must be deconstructed to move from surviving to thriving, and notes he is currently using AI to synthesize his past writings into a new book called The Big Wow.  Enjoy!

Even though the Japanese moon lander kind of crashed, it is still sort of functional..better than nothing! Robots are making their way into society, but not without some issues from the street..Obelisks-a new kind of life smaller than viruses than live within microbes..

This week we covered the “Spirit Fest,” a gathering of mostly Russian families in the Bay Area interested in mind/body/spirit aspects of life.  In a way it was reminiscent of the great Whole Life Expos of the 1980’s, yet very different in that most of the workshops were based on traditions from Russia and conducted in Russian. It was relatively small in size, with a few hundred folks in attendance including, I might add, many very beautiful women. There was evolution and change in the air, a good feeling! It was a day filled with workshops, meditations, tantric practices, music, dance, and mind-blowing transformational experiences .

We were guests of Svetlana Doroganich, a psychologist who had trained with Stanislav Grof, M.D., famous for his pioneering work in LSD Psychotherapy. In this week’s show, you will meet several of the festival’s presenters, including Svetlana, Dennis Zaika on cosmic energy, and Nikita with Alexaner, pioneers in the integration of spirit and psilocybin. Enjoy!
