    From Asimov to Planetary Intelligence: Rebooting Seldon Crisis

    After a long pause, Seldon Crisis is back—with a new name, a broader focus, and a new home. What began as a Foundation-focused story + dramatization + commentary show is rebooting as Seldon Crisis: Beyond Foundation, exploring the near- and long-term futures of life, intelligence, and civilization—especially as today’s headlines start to echo Asimov’s themes of collapse and recovery. In This Episode Why I started Seldon Crisis five years agoWhat changed—and why the show pausedWhy Foundation feels newly relevant in the era of:AI accelerationclimate and planetary crisisinequality and political dysfunctionsystemic and existential riskThe new show identity and directionThe move to Substack and what it enablesWhat’s New New title: Seldon Crisis: Beyond FoundationNew description: An exploration of the range of possibilities for life and intelligence in the near and distant future.New platform/home: Substack via seldoncrisis.netBetter organization: episodes categorized as:Story (narrative episodes)Conversations (guest interviews)Reflections (solo essays & commentary)Some topics may be written-only when visuals matter.Upcoming Topics A planned episode inspired by three major thinkers: Sara Imari Walker — Assembly Theory (with Lee Cronin) and new ideas about the origin of lifeDavid Grinspoon — Earth in Human Hands and intentional planetary stewardship; co-author (with Walker) on planetary intelligenceBenjamin Bratton — speculative theory on planetary computation and large-scale systems thinkingAlso coming: more guest conversations, including returning and new guests.
