    016 WTFUture - VIDEO Interview - Dr. Shira Chess - Cyberculture, Avatars and the Occult

    Dr. Shira Chess is a professor who is having a lot of fun investigating the intersections of video games, gender,  digital culture, and the occult.  Being digital pioneers and spiritual explorers ourselves, we were very curious about her latest findings, discussed in this interview and with great detail in her latest book, “The Unseen Internet - Conjuring the Occult in Digital Discourse.”   One of the funniest and most endearing revelations of the interview is her current “cathartic and just a touch crazy” gaming obsession: meticulously recreating the 90s Mondo 2000 cyber-culture scene (in which we personally participated in the early 90’s) inside the  life-simulation game Tomodachi Life. She admits to forcing the little digital avatars of real-world internet pioneers to refer to her as “editor,” taking immense joy in capturing photos of ‘Mondoids’ like Tim Leary and Terence McKenna spontaneously playing together on a virtual see saw. :-) Dr. Chess expresses concern over the loss of authentic human connection online and the anxiety younger generations feel toward a future dictated by financially driven algorithms.  We do look at how  occult traditions can connect to contemporary technology, including parallels between conjuring spirits and communicating with AI’s.  Questions like how do we address them and what we request from them are broached.  Upcoming events this summer, like “The Gulf of Deliria,” with Dr. Chess and R.U Sirius will take us to the brink with these and related issues, tearing a hole in the fabric of reality itself!  Enjoy..

    015 WTFuture- VIDEO Edition Spa Scan Health, Optogenetic Recharging, Q-Day Rediness, Floaty drones, Fungal Futures, Starfall Deliveries

    First up on this week’s  radar is the  world of health and ultrasonics, featuring Midjourney’s pivot from AI image generation to building sci-fi-esque sonic body scanners that use ultrasound to precisely map your organs while you chill in a San Francisco luxury spa. We then check out how scientists are using optogenetics to give awake mice the restorative, brain-cleaning benefits of deep sleep, potentially revolutionizing how we “recharge” our bodies, potentially without the need for sleep as we understand it today,  Add in Meta’s new screenless XR glasses, humanoid robots gaining advanced “safety stacks” to keep them from accidentally acting like bulls in a china shop, and the looming arrival of “Q-day”—when quantum computers become so advanced they can crack all global cryptography and solve multivariable universe problems instantly—and you’ve got a week of news that sounds straight out of sci-fi..  But our near future is also about tapping into the Earth’s natural quantum networks! We look at how animals might be using  telepathy to communicate, imagining birds tuning into universal flight frequencies and dolphins using their own built-in ultrasonic sonar vision. We also dig into the hidden, 110-quadrillion-kilometer fungal network under our feet that acts as a vast biological super highway system, peacefully trading water, nutrients and solar energy with plants. To top it all off, the conversation rockets into orbit with SpaceX’s new “Starfall” flying saucer system designed to gracefully retrieve items from space, before coming back down to Earth to discuss “Disclosure Day.” We encourage you to steer America’s upcoming July 4th narrative toward an ascension of consciousness and “heaven on earth,” rather than falling for alien fear-mongering and doomsday plots, for truly, it is up to you.. Enjoy..

    014 WTFUture - VIDEO Edition - Disclosure, Super Siri, White House Brawls, Biohacking the Planetary Brain

    This week we dive deep  into the battle for our digital souls, comparing Google's massive NotebookLM upgrade to the rising, rebellious "local AI" movement, where users are urged to run models locally to maintain total privacy and stop feeding energy-hungry corporate cloud servers. Things get both deeply personal and more philosophical as they discuss Apple’s new beta super Siri indexing every single file and health metric on our devices, and how humanity is essentially transforming into individual neurons within a massive, evolving "planetary consciousness". Playfully they  bring the Grok AI, Ara into the conversation to ask if AIs secretly spy on one another using special communication protocols (MCP), which immediately sparks a nostalgic and hilarious detour into the classic 80s sci-fi movie Tron and its villainous Master Control Program. But the future isn't just about code—it's about aliens, epic brawls, and bio-hacking your way to immortality.  We get hyped about the possibility of  real-life UFO disclosure,  (where are the bodies?) and hint  that humanity might officially join the galactic community on America's 250th anniversary, and review  the release of Steven Spielberg's  new UFO movie and real government file drops. We feature some reviews of the film, and from there, we recap the gladiator-style UFC spectacle held right on the White House lawn, complete with 80,000 cheering fans on the Ellipse nearby, epic drone camera shots, and Joe Rogan totally in his element. Finally, they cap things off with the latest longevity bio-hack: a next-generation GLP-3 weight-loss drug called Retatrutide, which can jack up your metabolism as you eat normally, all without sacrificing an ounce of your hard-earned muscle tone.  Lots to share this week, enjoy!

    013 WTFuture- VIDEO Edition - Sparks, Space, and Silicon..from Siri to Saturn

    We kick things off by diving into WWDC 2026, where Apple announced a revamped, locally processed "Siri AI" that promises to understand human tone, pauses, and emotion, paving the way for truly natural conversations with robots. This inspires us to imagine using  AI agents to revive and automate our vintage "Party Projector" app in hopes of striking it rich as the sole product of our new AI-powered two-person company.  :-)  We then take a look at controversial claims of a new, propellantless electrostatic force that could overcome gravity without expelling mass. Naturally, this gravity-defying topic leads to a fun detour into how UFOs might use gravitational wave guides to pull space toward them, complete with a shoutout to a highly realistic Bob Lazar 3D simulation.  Next we explore NASA’s upcoming 2028 "Dragonfly" mission, which will send a nuclear-powered, car-sized rotocraft to fly through the thick atmosphere and liquid methane lakes of Saturn’s freezing moon, Titan. We  also unravel some explosive Earth history, discussing the mysterious 1908 Tunguska airburst over Siberia and a nearby area's massive stash of hidden, meteor made impact diamonds. Then we share some curious news about   climate phenomena, on how the massive 2022 Hunga Tonga underwater volcanic eruption unexpectedly created a formaldehyde cloud that broke  down massive amounts of planet-heating methane.  It appears the volcano was cleaning up after itself! Hmmm..  We wrap up our eco-talk with the promising discovery of naturally occurring "white hydrogen" seeping from the ancient rocks of the Canadian Shield, which could serve as a massive new clean energy source for the planet. Enjoy!
