    019 WTFuture - VIDEO Edition - Sun Storms, Future of Freedom, and Silicon Frontiers

    This week you are in for a ride through space, bizarre weather, and cool  tech with the likes of us! We kick things off by unraveling the mystery behind strangely tropical, Hawaiian-like July weather, linking it to intense solar activity, hyperactive sunspots, and massive coronal holes that might even be triggering earthquakes along the Pacific Ring of Fire. From there, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Viking 1 Mars landing, diving deep into the spicy, decades-long scientific drama over whether its infamous labeled release experiment actually discovered alien microbes half a century ago. We use the AI’s to animate  the  “panspermia” theory that humanity’s primordial ancestors might have been blasted off the Red Planet on meteorites and hitched a ride to Earth. And then it’s back to Earth, where we look at how “monster” AI models—like China’s 2.8-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 and smartphone-sized powerhouses like Caltech’s Bonsai 27B—are completely shattering the large data centers via phone sized AI’s.  Bobby explores how immortal billionaire AI avatars will soon run corporations, or if future silicon-based lifeforms will simply view humanity as a “carbon infestation”, as in the first Star Trek movie. Sun explores the Future of Freedom, humans and AI’s in terms of property rights. Toss in a scandalous, legendary anecdote about John McAfee and a creativity conference in Hollywood and you have a must-listen episode that will leave you with some new insights into what’s now with the future and some great links to explore. Enjoy.

    018 WTFuture - VIDEO Edition - Chopstick Robo Surgeons, Knee-saving Beads, latest UAPs and Sweet Space Clouds

    Welcome to a future where your next surgeon might be a 4’ tall humanoid robot operated by a doctor who is exceptionally good with chopsticks!  Meet Surgey, a highly mobile humanoid robot that can remove a gall bladder or kidney via a remote operator, proving that these easily transportable machines can soon be dropped anywhere on the planet and perform delicate operations.  We then  explore a groundbreaking procedure called Genicular Artery Embolization, which uses tiny beads to block blood flow to inflamed knee vessels, offering a successful and relatively painless alternative to total knee replacements.   And then there is a real “sweet cloud” near the center of the Milky Way containing Erythrulose, a sugar molecule that suggests the fundamental building blocks of life might have been sprinkled onto a young Earth from deep space billions of years ago, during what is now known as the “Early Bombardment” period.  Speaking of space-grown miracles, researchers have also discovered that 3D-printing human organs like livers and kidneys in microgravity prevents the bio-ink cells from sinking and clumping together—a problem we compare to blueberries sinking to the bottom of muffin batter on Earth.  We wrap up with a quick peek at the Pentagon’s latest UFO photo dump—featuring a flying anomaly that looks suspiciously like the Star Wars Imperial probe droid looking for members of the Rebel Alliance on the ice planet Hoth.  We had a lot of fun this week, enjoy!

    017 WTFuture Celebrating the Interdependence of Future Wisdom

    In 017 WTFuture, we take you beyond typical hot dogs and fireworks to celebrate “Interdependence Day”. We dive into  how native wisdom— that which  inspired the US Constitution—is perfectly intertwined with natural law and even extraterrestrial phenomena, thanks to a download from Danny Sheehan. We look at how our consciousness with AI can free humanity from a monetary focus and spark a true creative renaissance. Throw in some wild NASA science  using biological waste to power bioreactors that power   eco-focused AI data centers, and you have a fascinating roadmap for saving the planet by merging cutting-edge tech with pure biology.  And we return into deep space with the ancient interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, a 10-to-12-billion-year-old fossil that might just be delivering solar upgrades to activate our dormant DNA and grant us new superpowers. If society feels like total chaos right now, do not panic—think of humanity  as a voracious caterpillar turning into gooey stem cell mush before transforming into a monarch butterfly, a process driven forward by awakened “imaginal cells” , guideposts to our butterfly future. From exploring quantum portals hidden inside our brain’s microtubules to prepping for galactic citizenship alongside telepathic ETs, this episode is a “soul school” ticket to understanding the magic of our living universe. Enjoy!

    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..
