    The Skill Trap | Outsourcing Ourselves

    Welcome back to MU! As AI and automation get better & better at doing our jobs, they may also be slowly doing away with the way humans have always learned to become good at them. With examples from robotic surgery, Michelin kitchens, warehouses, bomb disposal, banking, and more, our second installment of Matt Beane’s The Skill Code explores how we build real expertise, and how intelligent machines could either hollow that process out or help create an entirely new kind of apprenticeship.  Welcome to your Plus+ extension, and thank you all for joining us on Plus+! Buddhists believe that millions of super cool people reside in this underworld paradise called Agartha. Their daily lives and their destiny are directed by a wise, all-powerful ruler known as Rigden-jyepo, also known as the King of the World. Rigden-jyepo kicks it in Shamballah, the capital city of Agartha, which is allegedly accessed through many secret entrances from the surface world, found hidden within the towering monasteries of Tibet, guarded by jolly llamas sworn to protect the secrets of the underworld.

    This Hollow Earth - Episode 01: Deep Lore

    Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 36, episode 11! According to Buddhist doctrine, Agartha is a subterranean land located deep within the center of our planet. Buddhists believe millions of people live in this underground paradise. Their lives and destinies are directed by an all-powerful and all-wise ruler. What wonders lie just beneath us all? We are here today to begin a fascinating saga series titled This Hollow Earth, based on the work of Warren Smith in his 1977 book, This Hollow Earth - The astounding investigation into the 'lost worlds' beneath our planet’s surface. We are here to ask: is the story of Agharta nothing more than a fun fable, or is there truth behind the legend? Do we know the Earth is solid, with varying layers of deep, dense material that terminates in a solid molten core? Or could there be vast inhabitable spaces we would be astounded to experience? In Plus+, we look into the growing train of thought that AI and automation are getting better at doing our jobs, and how they may also be slowly dismantling the way humans have always learned to become good at them. From robotic surgery to Michelin kitchens, Matt Beane’s The Skill Code explores how we build real expertise, and how intelligent machines could either destroy that process, or help create an entirely new kind of apprenticeship.  This Hollow Earth: The Astounding Investigation Into the Lost World Beneath Our Planet's Surface Hollow Earth Theories: A List of References Royal Society's portraits of Edmond Halley, and a diagram of Halley's curious model for the internal structure of the Earth Secret of the Ages - UFOs from Inside the Earth The Sky People The Smoky God: A Voyage to the Inner World The Skill Code: How to Save Human Ability in an Age of Intelligent Machines LinksPlus+ ExtensionThe extension of the show is EXCLUSIVE to Plus+ Members.

    The Strange World of Genius Animals

    Welcome to Mysterious Universe season 36 episode 09! Today we investigate the strange world of genius animals of the most impressive calibre: Wizard Pets that earn their keep in life… and in our hearts. From mathematically inclined K-9s, to prophetic pups, to exceptionally conversational horses with a lot to say, including, but not limited to, where to find the bodies of dead loved ones. For our Plus+ extension, we go headfirst into The Shining Island by Jason Quitt. Jason does a masterful job of tracking the myths and legends of Plato, Egypt, and more into a picture of what Atlantis might be...or rather might not be. Join us as we examine everything from primordial water, the Axis Mundi, to infinity & beyond.

    Free-Running | The Human Clock

    Welcome back to MU! This week we take a look at Why Time Flies by Alan Burdick and find out that even “official” time is a negotiated average built from clocks around the world. Then we move into the story of Michel Siffre, who removed himself from daylight, clocks, calendars, and ordinary human routine, and his cave experiments reveal just how quickly the body's internal rhythms can drift when they're cut loose from the outside world. Welcome to your Plus+ Extension, and thank you all for joining us on Plus+! Animals, along with all living things, are affected by cosmic rhythms and celestial cycles. Snails and crabs live by the tides, even in laboratories nowhere near the ocean. Cats with internal clocks that can be adjusted on command. Disappearing dogs that return without fail every Christmas. Biological clocks are nature's timing systems here to help regulate the behavior of all forms of life. From the simplest organism to man himself, and do so quite efficiently. Today we enjoy the 1970 book The Strange World of Animals and Pets by Vincent and Margaret Gaddis. Dedicated to all the pets, who rule us with an iron paw.

    Strange Powers of the Mind

    Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 36, episode 07! Today we dust off a 1968 banger written by Warren Smith to investigate some strange cases of some strange powers of the mind. From unheeded premonitions that should have been heeded, to a Yogi burying himself in the outfield of a baseball game that is played in full, only to be dug up at the end of the game, just a little parched. Including, but certainly not limited to, a remarkably perceptive mentalist detective who solves an impossible quadruple murder case in Canada. For our Plus+ extension, we conclude the amazing journey through Spontaneous Human Combustion by Jenny Randles & Peter Hough. We take a look at more electrical possibilities including atmospheric effects, individual biology/chemistry, and some final thoughts on what this odd phenomenon could possibly be.  Strange Powers of the Mind by Warren Smith  Count Ostoja Rises from his Grave Spontaneous Human Combustion LinksPlus+ ExtensionThe extension of the show is EXCLUSIVE to Plus+ Members.

    The Human Torch - Spontaneous Human Combustion

    Welcome back to MU! Today we bring a collection of some of the strangest spontaneous human combustion cases on record, from victims reduced almost entirely to ash in otherwise untouched rooms to survivors who claimed flames seemed to erupt from nowhere. Along the way, the cases pull in fire science, the wick effect, strange electrical phenomena, and more as we wade through this great selection of craziness from Jenny Randles & Peter Hough. Welcome to your Plus+ Extension and to the final installment of our Visitors from Within Saga, part 06 - Changing the Abduction Experience. This has been quite a ride and we thank you all for joining us for this epic adventure through the mind of a hive mind as we are given some insider tips about changing the abduction experience, as and while it is happening. Germain steps up to our trance channel, Lysaa, to deliver us the tools needed for empowerment in what seem like helpless situations and offers us greater innerstanding about ourselves more than anything else… which is possibly the purpose of this wild realm we find ourselves growing in.
