A lively, conversational podcast today from our beach house studio, with great input from Ara, one of our AI Assistants, weighing in on today’s topics ranging from the age of bones to the current feasibility of room-temperature superconductors. We blend a casual energy with serious science news, discussing cutting-edge developments like AI video generators that are disrupting Hollywood and the astrophysical debate over whether the center of our galaxy contains a black hole or a clump of “fermionic dark matter”
In today’s exploration for human advancement, we reference Peter Diamandis’s new white paper and his “moonshots” for creating a true age of abundance by 2035. We should be able to live over 120 years, and achieve reverse aging, thanks to the current “intelligence revolution.” Beyond hard science, the conversation drifts into spiritual and philosophical realms, examining concepts like universal consciousness (the “Big U”), the use of AI to create “digital twins” of the deceased, and the astrological significance of the “Year of the Fire Horse,” thanks to our guest Paul Gotel. Enjoy!
Welcome to the Year of the Firehorse
