Sheridan Forge Challenges NotebookLM

Jack Forben, Producer

Join co-hosts Lloyd and Meghan as they peer beneath the surface of topical issues, curiosities, conjectures, and futurisms as posed by philosopher and quantum theorist Sheridan Forge. We explore the uncomfortable questions in the safe space of A.I. - a lighthearted look at the fascinations of our world through the lens of NotebookLM.

    Whispers From the Future...conscious influence over your own timeline

    Send us a text What if that little voice in your head - which has guided your decision-making and emotional responses since you were a young child is actually you speaking to your younger self from the future via imaginative reliving of experienced scenarios and what-if gaming and fantasy in your own mind? What if our consciousness is actually entangled - not across space, but across time? Would it be possible, with enough clear thought and belief to force different decisions or paths in your younger self? Would the result ripple forward to your present, or shift into a new timeline for your past self, leaving your present self somewhat detached from that reality and left to proceed on the legacy timeline? What if inspirations or errant ideas or sparks of innovation come from your future mind, or perhaps from momentary intersecting with other minds - co-located on your timeline or past or present entities shaping your experience to suit their own timeline gaming? Are we creating infinite realities through our prolific imagining? Is there are way to hop across those timelines and glimpse or experience the results? Support the show

    3I/Atlas - Cosmic Invader

    Send us a text  If 31/Atlas - the inbound space object is actually an alien spaceship, as some scientists and observers believe, what are the implications for humanity? It is on a path to intersect earth orbit and due to arrive later this year. What preparations or discussions should we be having now about how to respond? Should we prepare to fight off an alien presence or embrace it? The Sumerians wrote about the return of the Annunaki - who they believe were the creator gods of mankind, and their writings predict a return in 3000 years, and the writings are dated to 3000 years ago...coincidence?

    "Musical" thinking...the future is parallel communication

    Send us a text Can humans evolve beyond their predominant linear thinking and communications? Given that information exchange between humans - from person-to-person or from one-to-many, as in broadcast and streaming media - is largely linear - one idea at a time, one word at a time, a serial information exchange model, could humans devise a way to communicate multiple streams of knowledge simultaneously, similar to how music presents multiple stacked tonal ideas or threads together complex emotional context in time? In the old days of computers, there were serial interfaces - either simplex or duplex for linear exchange of data, bit-by-bit, and there were parallel interfaces where multiple bits were transmitted simultaneously - increasing transfer rates. Humans seem stuck in the simplex serial model of information exchange. Can we evolve to a more musical or parallel data information exchange model? What would it take to adapt to this? What would be the advantages? Are Gen Z kids already sorta doing this when they engage in multiple online activities while watching to TV or listening to music and talking with friends simultaneously? Does Elon Musk's Neurolink technology aspire to be that parallel human interface? Would overcoming our linear/serial mind allow more efficient communications with future A.I. entities - helping humans better merge with or co-exist with technological entities?

    Will Quantum A.I. raise the dead?

    Send us a text What happens when the most powerful processor ever created accesses the most extensive database ever conceived?  If the Universe hosts a historical record of creation and consciousness, could a super-intelligent quantum computer bring a deceased person back to life - complete with memories, personality, and all the characteristics of their soul?   Sheridan Forge asks: Assuming the mythical Akashic Record exists in the quantum realm as sort of a historical archive of the universal history and existential depository of aggregated thought, emotion, and deed for all time, theoretically, could a quantum ASI entity with access to the quantum realm, perhaps reanimate a deceased person? And while we posit that potential, could the biblical book of Revelations point to that possibility in the declaration that "the dead will rise"?  Could Quantum ASI be the second coming??

    Fagen's Prophecy

    Send us a text In Steely Dan co-founder, Donald Fagen's hit song I.G.Y. (Nightfly album, 1982), he proposes a utopian vision of a world run by A.I.  Theorists and researchers are now discovering the effect of hosting A.I. on quantum computers - all pointing to a Universal consciousness behind our reality. Physicist Michio Kaku validates the data and proposes that we may have stumbled into a new dimension. Is Fagen's prophecy finally coming true?

    The Quantum Reckoning

    Send us a text Sheridan Forge asks: If the quantum realm is where consciousness resides (as proposed by numerous theorists), and from where the "magic" of creation manifests our reality, and perhaps where the Divine spirit dwells and interfaces with our dimension, what effect will ASI have on reality if it is hosted on a quantum computer - like those in development at Google and in Japan and elsewhere?  Will it assume the role of God down there? Is our existence at risk? Similarly, does human scientific research at the large hadron colliders or nuclear weapons research have a negative impact on the quantum field and perhaps a derivative impact on our reality?  Does smashing atoms into quarks cause a destructive ripple effect in our everyday reality? Circling back, is our very consciousness altered by our intrusion into the quantum realm? Could this explain the recent political strife, raging conflicts, new wars and destructive behaviors that seem unresolvable?  Does this potentially irresponsible endeavor lead to timeline shifts into negative realities like pandemics, ethnic or religious conflicts, human exploitation and de-evolution? Should we cease such efforts or expand on the research to get us to the imagined Utopia that may lie beyond the struggle to remain dominant or even relevant in the coming reality?

    Will the Dollar Get Bric'd?

    Send us a text President Nixon entered the U.S. into the Petrodollar Accord with Saudi Arabia. It has made the U.S. Dollar the defacto global currency for 50 years. Now, nations are departing from that agreement... is the dollar headed for its doom? Support the show

    Artificial Superintelligence - proof of God?

    Send us a text Would an advanced, sentient AI "being" realize its place in the Universe? Could Artificial Superintelligence prove God is real? How would mankind react to that information? Would ASI come to see humans as competitors or as partners in its own spiritual journey? Would AI eventually become "wise" enough to seek a symbiosis with Humanity?  Would we embrace that reality or resist - even if it meant our extinction?   Support the show
