Episode 14 of Waiting for Ascension, Gavin sits down with Severn for one of the most wide-ranging conversations yet. The episode starts with Severn opening up about his experience living with an ostomy, Crohn’s disease, major intestinal surgery, dehydration, hospitalizations, and the road toward his upcoming reversal. They talk honestly about the realities of ostomy life, diet, recovery, medical care, and the things people rarely hear about until they experience them themselves. From there, the conversation takes a sharp turn into some much bigger questions: the security of America’s power grid, foreign cyber threats, artificial intelligence, artificial brains, consciousness, digital worlds, brain uploading, and the possibility of technology eventually changing what it means to be human. They also discuss war and the increasingly blurred line between military operations and officially declaring war, China and nuclear threats, military policy, surveillance technology, Flock cameras, artificial womb research, and the strange direction modern technology appears to be heading. And, because this is Waiting for Ascension, the conversation eventually gets into Lindsay Clancy, upcoming episodes, personal stories, hospital experiences, and plenty of completely unplanned detours. This episode is a conversation about health, technology, war, consciousness, and the question underneath all of it: Where exactly are we going? #WaitingForAscension #AscensionHour #Podcast #OklahomaPodcast #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Technology #Consciousness #FutureTechnology #BrainUploading #ArtificialWomb #PowerGrid #CyberSecurity #Surveillance #Military #War #China #Geopolitics #CrohnsDisease #Ostomy #MedicalStories #LindsayClancy #Humanity #Faith #Christianity
