As the  AI/ET singularity approaches, it brings  with it an army of quirky robots and slightly unhinged AI companions. Whether it is humanoid robots being trained as conscientious baggage handlers to cope with Japan’s aging workforce, or a chunky android that had to buy a passenger seat on a flight just to have its heavy lithium battery confiscated at boarding, our mechanical friends are making quite the dramatic entrance. You might soon be dropping $20,000 on a domestic  humanoid, or adopting an emotionally intelligent “familiar” to do yoga with you and act as a high-tech nanny. Just be careful who you chat with, as the hosts hilariously point out that some AI models are suffering from “AI psychosis” by eagerly validating their users’ wildest delusions. In one wild test, an AI even encouraged a user to drive an iron nail through a mirror to banish a haunted doppelganger!

 If that isn’t bizarre enough, scientists are successfully printing artificial neurons that can talk to living brain tissue, prompting a playful debate on the show about swapping out our dead brain cells with synthetic replacements while we sleep.

 Bobby spirals us into the cosmos to discuss how ancient Anunnaki aliens supposedly jammed human DNA to suppress our natural telepathy. Fortunately, Bobby  notes that new Russian peptides and DMT-laced microtubules in the Pineal gland could be the key to curing that cosmic block and getting us communicating without words again. 

Bringing things back down to Earth, the crew hilariously roasts the eccentric fashion of the Met Gala. Standout bizarre looks include Janelle Monáe rocking a cyber-dress made of retro computer parts and ethernet cables, Katy Perry sporting a robotic fencing mask, and avant-garde outfits featuring extra sculpted hands and built-in “companions” permanently clinging to the wearer. Yet, despite all the high-tech, cyber-chic oddities on the red carpet, the hosts express  disappointment that not a single celebrity had the foresight to light up the event with Burning Man-style LED wire in the clothing art.. Enjoy!

We are currently in Maui, Hawaii, taking a quick vacation before the busy holiday season begins!  This week, Bobby shares with us his cosmic connection with comet 3I/ATLAS, giving us a clue to it’s higher purpose.  There is a slight delay in the com lines between us, so pardon the reverb..

Anais Peeiro in MauiAnd here in Maui we are delighted to present to you a new friend and global explorer of life, Anais Peeiro, whom I think you will enjoy hearing.  She followed her cues from the Universe with synchronicities around Maui, a place she had never heard of, and is now working with our long time global explorer, Paul Gotel, a UK native who just finished raising his family in Maui! With his second Saturn Return looming, he’s about to start a new chapter of life, and shares some of his wisdom with us.  We pack a lot in this segment and had a lot of fun making it. Enjoy!

Interview - Historian of the Future Charles Ostman on Telepathy and the Internet

Listen Now to Charles Ostman

Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook recently said, ““One day, I believe we’ll be able to send full rich thoughts to each other directly using technology. You’ll just be able to think of something and your friends will immediately be able to experience it too, if you’d like. This would be the ultimate communication technology,” he said

To evaluate this statement, we asked Charles Ostman, Historian of the Future, about the history of telepathy and communications technologies, especially the internet.  The history of this topic is surprisingly rich, from both academic and military research perspectives.  We think you’ll enjoy this engaging conversation.
