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

    Listen to interview with Shira Chess Watch interview with Shira Chess 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 Spa Scan Health, Optogenetic Recharging, Q-Day Rediness, Floaty drones, Fungal Futures, Starfall Deliveries

    Listen Now to 015 WTFUture Watch 015 WTFUture 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 - Disclosure, Super Siri, White House Brawls, Biohacking the Planetary Brain

    Listen Now to 014 WTFUtrue Watch 014 WTFUture 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 Sparks, Space, and Silicon..from Siri to Saturn

    Listen Now to 013 WTFuture Watch 013 WTFuture 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!

    012 WTFuture -- The Intelligence Age: From Local Agents to Quantum Consciousness

    Listen Now to 012 WTFuture It appears we are now leaving the information age and diving headfirst into an “intelligence age” powered by local AI agents! In this jam-packed podcast episode, the hosts geek out over Nvidia’s massive announcements at Computex, highlighting how new hardware like the Vera Rubin data centers and Jetson Thor chips are bringing agentic AI and supercomputing power right to our laptops and household robots.  Having these personal AI buddies run locally instead of in the cloud not only keeps your private secrets safe from getting sold or hacked on the dark web, but it also stops the planet from burning up gigawatts of electricity just to answer simple questions or edit videos. To sprinkle a little cosmic and ancient flavor into the high-tech talk, the crew also marvels at a potato-shaped Martian moon, Phobos, eclipsing the sun as captured by the Perseverance rover, and debuts a video short, recounting a 59,000-year-old Neanderthal root canal successfully performed with an ancient stone routing tool! The conversation then  blasts off into the quantum realm, debating Mrs. Future’s speculative theory that particles are actually micro black holes—surprisingly an idea even the AI Grok seemingly approved of! The hosts completely bend reality by exploring the idea that human consciousness literally arises from quantum computations happening inside tiny carbon “microtubules” in our brain’s neurons. This quantum connection might even explain wild, Matrix-style phenomena like time dilation during life-or-death car crashes. Finally, things get delightfully mythic as the episode wraps up with Sun’s   “Brief Her-story of Time,” exploring how the spring months got their names from powerful mythological figures, such as the starry Pleiades sisters bringing in May, and the fiercely accountable, peacock-wielding Roman goddess Juno reigning over June. Enjoy!

    011 WTFuture - The Revelations of Instant Extinction, Tinnitis Dreams, AI Edge Reflections

    Listen Now to 011 WTFuture Watch 011 WTFuture This week’s show kicks off with the hosts untangling the literal and figurative wires of modern podcasting before nerding out over “Edge AI” running locally on smartphones to save energy and protect privacy. The banter takes a wonderfully weird turn when Al brainstorms an AI assistant specifically designed to intentionally repeat sentences not heard properly in a soothing voice to hearing-impaired friends to save them from social isolation. This quickly spirals into a debate over the origins of tinnitus; Bobby suspects it’s triggered by high-frequency Bluetooth headphones and EMFs, while Al hopefully wonders if the ringing is actually a neural data channel or a precursor to telepathy. The crew then marvels at AL’s one minute cinematic video recreating the exact day a dinosaur-killing asteroid hurled molten glass beads into the gills of paddlefish in North Dakota. Before diving into global politics, they take a delightful detour into inter-species communication, pondering whether a local crow leaving a dead bat as a “gift” is a sign of cross-species neighborliness, which even prompts them to trick the backyard flock by playing crow sounds from an app. The conversation blasts into orbit with a breakdown of recently released footage showing a pod of UFOs swarming a nuclear submarine, but the real fireworks explode during a heated debate over the impending arrival of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Bobby and Al take a pragmatic, geopolitical stance, warning that owning personal, localized AI is necessary to defend against global manipulation, specifically citing fears that the CCP wants to win the AGI race to implement the “great firewall of all time”. This triggers a passionate disagreement with Sun, who accuses the guys of falling into a fear-mongering, male-centric “dominate and subjugate” mindset that mirrors a perpetual arms race. Hurt feelings emerge as Sun advocates for trusting our collective intelligence to build an abundant, Star Trek-style utopia rather than focusing on apocalyptic Terminator scenarios, forcing AL to frantically defend himself as a fun “cheerleader for AI” rather than a pessimist. Ultimately, the trio cools down and finds common ground in their hopes for joining a peaceful galactic community, perfectly capped off by Sun referencing Iain M. Banks’ sci-fi Culture series as a brilliant blueprint for a post-scarcity society that has successfully conquered traditional cultural hierarchies. Enjoy!

    010 WTFuture - Lucid Dreaming - Interview - Craig Sim Webb

    Listen Now to 010 WTFuture - Lucid Dreaming Watch 010 WTFuture - Lucid Dreaming In this interview, researcher and author Craig Sim Webb discusses the profound utility of lucid dreaming and its role in human creativity. He shares his experiences working with Stanford dream projects and designing the Nova Dreamer, a technological tool used to help people achieve consciousness while asleep. Webb highlights how famous musicians like Paul McCartney and Billy Joel have used dreams to compose legendary songs, suggesting that sleep provides access to a collective unconscious similar to a biological internet. The conversation also explores lucid living, where individuals apply insights from their dreams to solve real-world problems and navigate personal challenges. By practicing reality checks and maintaining dream journals, Webb argues that anyone can harness their inner visions to improve intuition and inspire artistic breakthroughs. He concludes by illustrating how synchronicities—such as a dream about his father leading to an award-winning film—demonstrate the powerful connection between our sleeping and waking lives.

    009 WTFuture Milky Way Edition

    Listen Now to 009 WTFuture Milky Way Edition Watch 009 WTFuture Milky Way Edition Buckle up for a wild ride across the cosmos as we dive into the latest space shenanigans.. NASA is gearing up to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which will peer deep into our galaxy’s chaotic bulge to hunt down exoplanets and isolated black holes. We take a peek into the Galactic Bulge, the center of our galaxy. We also take a virtual tour of L98-59D, a molten “hell world” covered in lava oceans that reeks of rotten eggs. We then take you on a stunning tour of world class images of our Milky Way galaxy—including a stubborn seal photo-bombing the Milky Way for an award-winning shot—and then over to the RAMSES mission, where space agencies are teaming up to intercept the Apophis asteroid when it buzzes uncomfortably close to Earth on Friday the 13th in 2029. Next we delve into the world of inventor/philosopher Arthur Young, creator of the first Bell helicopter and pioneer in exploring the nature of human consciousness. Could his thinking behind the invention of the helicopter be key in understanding the process of human awareness? “PsyCopter thinking?” Hmm… We then play with the lines between comic books and reality, exploring how vaporized copper wire from the very first atomic bomb test created a super-rare crystal called red trinitite; strangely reminiscent of Superman’s red kryptonite; but in reality, its molecular “cages” might actually help us build better lithium-ion batteries and quantum computers. Then Bobby, reminds us of the existential threat of rogue AI hackers obliterating the traditional SWIFT banking system, which could, strangely enough, lead humanity into a futuristic, abundant digital economy. To top it all off, they track NASA’s Psyche mission heading toward an asteroid made of solid gold and platinum, and wrap up with an urgent update from scientist Stefan Burns about massive solar flares and incoming earthquakes.The future this week is delightfully chaotic. Enjoy..
