Dr. Barbara Corkey is an Emeritus Professor of Medicine and Biochemistry at Boston University. Over her prolific and outstanding academic career she went deep into the mechanics of metabolic disease. Along the way, she stumbled upon some shocking insight about the nature of obesity as she watched the epidemic unfold in real time. Despite the popular wisdom that weight gain is a simple matter of calories in v. calories out, Dr. Corkey came to understanad that there was a sea of environmental toxins wreaking havoc on our food supply which seemed to influence weight outcomes more than anything else. Her revelations reach into every aspect of the food supply and the organization of our modern civilization. What do you make of it?

Dr. Gopi Vijaya began his scientific career in solar physics but quickly branched out into fields as diverse as projective geometry, Goethean Science, foundations of astronomy, calculus, and the Reciprocal System of physics. Our conversation begins with the relationship between science and technology and moves into the philosophical realm asking seemingly bizarre questions like - can we do science without models? Also - how do we collaborate as thinkers without competing? Along the way we explore outstanding anomalies in light, electromagnetism, gravity and color theory. It's a wild ride through many of our favorite topics here.

Dr. Miklos Lukacs is a Research Professor of Science and Technology Policy at the University of San Martin de Porres in Lima, Peru. He also happens to be one of the leading critics of transhumanism, which he defines as the technologically-driven push for super longevity, super intelligence, and super wellbeing. Lukacs argues that this campaign threatens the historical relationship between humans and technology, where our tools serve us, rather than the other way around. He worries that by placing such an outsize importance on external tools, we allow ourselves to be molded into an entirely new form that emerges not from bottom-up evolutionary forces, but from an external, top-down locus of control. Our conversation lays out the basics of what Lukacs identifies as transhumanism, and then turns to an exploration of how to balance progress with tradition.Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasB00:00 Go!00:03:55 What is transhumanism, really?00:11:58 Out-shining god00:18:17 Does transhumanism have a clear vision of the future?00:24:30 Bottom up planning00:36:35 Morality & evolution00:45:27 Killing in the name of00:57:01 The human animal01:01:21 Institutions and human nature01:09:42 Porn, universal morality01:14:00 Blame culture, Bentham01:20:29 Clubs v. universality01:26:14 Reacting to the pain of traditional gender roles01:32:04 Body modification & the human-machine hybrid01:38:56 Corruption of protected identity groups01:45:50 City life & tradition wasting#Transhumanism #Humanity #Technology #Ethics #Philosophy #Evolution #SciencePolicy #Longevity #Intelligence #Wellbeing #Progress #Tradition #HumanNature #TechnologicalSingularity #Posthumanism #Enhancement #BottomUpEvolution #TopDownControl #HumanTechnology #Futurism #TranshumanCriticism #longformpodcast Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

Anastasia has been reading Vaclav Smil's Energy and Civilization, so we decided to sit down for a meta conversation about petroleum, prime movers, and geopolitics. This solo chat ties together a bunch of the conversations we've had on the show in the last year about climate, technology and the energy transition. Historically, we've been pretty skeptical when people start banging on about the need to transition to a completely electric grid, but Smil makes a really compelling point - all human endeavors depend on motive power. We go further to consider the downstream consequences of the prime movers we rely on, the risk of this being the last civilization for the next 20 million years, and the strange software called "progress" that was installed in humans when we departed from our primate roots.Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasB00:00 Go!00:03:34 Material supplies do run out: assumption#100:09:38 Oil production going down or no?00:15:38 If we run out, do we go back to horse & buggy times?00:20:08 Why can't nuclear save the day?00:24:47 The actual electric universe00:29:00 Lucius Appeleus00:39:14 Population & growth fears00:43:48 Who or what are the barriers to Electricland00:49:47 Diesel's failed vision00:54:15 Why are we racing toward the future?00:57:57 Relief of sufferring at the cost of all else01:03:07 Calhoun & density epibehavior01:06:51 Godlike machine future01:10:49 Does AI threaten meaningful life?01:18:56 Convenience v. painlessness01:26:35 Solution set is in sight#Transhumanism #Humanity #Technology #Ethics #Philosophy #Evolution #SciencePolicy #Longevity #Intelligence #Wellbeing #Progress #Tradition #HumanNature #TechnologicalSingularity #Posthumanism #Enhancement #BottomUpEvolution #TopDownControl #HumanTechnology #Futurism #TranshumanCriticism #longformpodcast Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/Demystifyin...

Dr. C.S. Unnikrishnan is a professor at the School of Quantum Technology at the Defense Institute of Advanced Technology. Unnikrishnan is also a key member of the LIGO-India project and a member of the global LIGO Scientific Collaboration. His work has led him to some revolutionary conclusions about the nature of gravity, light, and the missing medium for these invisible actions. Our conversation gets into the details of his Machian approach to understanding the cosmos, which his calls "cosmic gravity." We discuss Henri Bergson's criticism of relativity, Einstein's transformation into quantum mascot, and issues with simultaneity in cosmic physics.

This is Dr. Hughes second appearance on the podcast. His background is in biochemistry and biophysics of protein folding, and water hydration structures. But today we're digging under the floorboards of science itself. Is it possible to have a science that isn't built on some set of assumed values? To tackle this issue, we dig into esoteric mysticism - particularly the work of Rudolph Steiner, who prophesized many of the features of the world we see today back in the late 19th century. This leads us to a path where we explore the modern scientific approach to understanding nature, grounded in materialism in all its splendor and shortcomings, asking where do we go from here? What does a healthy science of the future actually look like?

Kate Raworth is an Economist best known for “donut economics,” a model that attempts to map the balance between essential human needs and planetary boundaries. She proposes that the last few hundred years of economic theories were created with a monomaniacal focus on growth that was only possible on a planet with relatively untapped natural resources. After more than two hundred years of industrial development, older economic theories cannot be applied to the necessities of today. Namely, a sustainable material economy for the generations yet to come. We talk about what an economic system that provides for everyone’s basic humans needs can look like, places that have started putting donut economics to use, and how to balance personal responsibility with survival in an unjust system.

Warren Mosler is an economist, hedge fund manager, and proponent of modern monetary theory, an economic model that posits fiscal crises are caused by governments not spending enough money. From Mosler’s perspective, the reversal of any recession starts with getting very comfortable with deficit spending. Opponents argue that unchecked spending eventually leads to inflation of the currency and economic collapse, which Mosler argues is impossible as long as you know how money actually works. We dive deep into chartalism, the theory about the creation of money that sits at the heart of MMT, lay out why deficit spending doesn’t have to lead to inflation, and why the Federal Government’s checks will never bounce.

Scott Zimmerman is a mechanical engineer whose life took a sharp turn when he started to think about the relationship indoor lighting, biology, and solar radiation. He believes that near-infrared light, an invisible component of sunlight from ~800 to 3,000 micrometer wavelengths, is vital for human health. Unfortunately, these are the exact frequencies that our indoor lights and digital devices are incapable of producing. Zimmerman believes that the shift away from incandescent lighting inside of homes has contributes massively to wide-spread hormonal issues in modern population. His mechanism is that our skin, the largest endocrine gland in the universe, is actually a light harvesting organ that uses all the components of light to produce everything from sex hormones to vitamin D. We talk to him about the effect of sunlight on the human body, how he transitioned from mechanical engineering to making lightbulbs, the active harm of blue light, and much more.Tell us your thoughts in the comments!!!Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasBCheck out Nira Lighting, Scott's Company: https://niralighting.com/our-mission/00:00 Go!00:03:50 A monstrous change in solar spectrum00:08:11 A shift from engineering to biology00:18:37 The influence of near-infrared00:27:52 Free radical generation in the skin00:38:05 Melanin, Melatonin, and Sunlight network00:46:48 A solar influence on illness?00:56:17 Why is blue light so damaging?01:03:15 Designing a better bulb01:12:40 Adding UV into indoor lighting?01:22:32 Are the eyes made for gathering invisible light?01:32:20 Medical sensitivites to EMF01:39:21 Closing thoughts#sciencepodcast #NearInfraredLight #SunlightTherapy #LightHarvesting #SkinEndocrineGland #HormoneHealth #VitaminDProduction #BluelightHazards #MissingLightSpectrum #CircadianDisruption #IndoorLightingImpact #HolisticWellness #RediscoverSunlight #EngineerTurnedLightExpert #RevolutionaryLighting #ModernLightingParadigmCheck our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

Dr. Rajendra Gupta is a physics professor at the University of Ottawa who was in the headlines a few months ago for his assertion that the universe might be at least twice as old as we realize. He’s back at the radical reshaping of physics with his latest paper, which proposes that we can do away with dark matter and dark energy. Currently, these invisible substances are thought to make up something like 70-90% of our universe, depending on who you ask. But they’re invisible, undetectable, placeholders for some force or particle that can make the math work out. As an alternative, Gupta proposes modeling the universe with two ideas in mind. One, that the constants of nature are not, in fact, constant and two, that the red light shift seen in the cosmos that is considered to be a signature of expansion is actually the fingerprint of “tired light.” Together, these concepts allow him to recalculate the mechanics of the universe without relying on dark matter and dark energy, which is pretty cool.

Another talk from our recent April conference in Austin, TX, with Thad Roberts from The Physics Monastery. Thad speaks about his institute's recent progress in an ongoing struggle to comprehend the secrets of the constants of nature. These are the steady quantities that scale all the behaviors of the natural world, from electricity and magnetism, to gravity, or even elasticity. It seems strange that there are these fixed numbers inside of all our scientific formulas, but the physical significance is often forsaken. Even worse, we often have no idea why the constant is fixed as it is. Why is the speed of light limited? Why does the electron orbit at that speed? Why are they related just so? These questions and more get aired out in depth.Tell us your thoughts in the comments!!!Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasB(00:00( Go!

Humans have long encountered experiences that challenge their rational ideas about the world. Encounters with angels, demons, fairies, gnomes, or other spirits have been the standards of folklore since time immemorial. We agree with Jung that these revelations are scientifically valuable, though best explored though any lens but materialism; i.e. physics. When we learn about common bizarre experiences, we learn about ourselves. Author Ogi Ogas joins us again, alongside Qualia Research Institute's Andrés Gómez Emilsson, to discuss close encounters with the modern version of those elusive, yet timeless, entities. We begin with the phenomenological approaches to studying consciousness. We then compare both guest's experience with non-human minds.

Today we are sitting down with Dr. Stephanie Seneff, an MIT researcher, who has spent more than a decade obsessively investigating the role that industrial herbicides play in the modern health-scape. This is our second conversation with Dr. Seneff, following up on our detailed discussion of the myriad ways that the herbicide, glyphosate, interferes with cellular processes throughout the body. This time we are digging a bit deeper into how herbicides affect the balance of deuterium, or heavy hydrogen, in the body, and how this dysregulation might promote various disease states. We also go much further into the solution sets facing humanity as these startling realizations become more and more difficult to ignore.Tell us your thoughts in the comments!!!Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasBSupport Dr. Seneff and the podcast when you pick up her book here: https://amzn.to/4b9se3W(00:00) Go!(00:04:36) The deuterium story(00:13:51) Disturbing the electrical balance of cells(00:23:41) How sugar destroys proteins(00:32:26) Why is the link between glyphosate and cancer so elusive?(00:42:10) Cancer as a metabolic disease?(00:53:02) Low doses are more toxic than high doses?(01:03:24) How dependent are we on glyphosate?(01:10:08) Abandoning the cities is hardly an answer(01:18:30) Why can't we have another silent spring?(01:25:00) Industry pressure on researchers?(01:33:16) Closing thoughts#sciencepodcast, #IndustrialAgriculture, #Pesticides, #HealthEffects, #MITScience, #ChemicalRegulation, #DeuteriumBalance, #BiologicalSystems, #AgriculturalChemicals, #HealthScience, #EnvironmentalHealth, #ToxicChemicals, #PesticideRegulation, #PublicHealth, #FarmingPractices, #ToxinExposure, #SustainableAgriculture, #ChemicalToxicity, #FoodSafety, #HealthResearch, #EnvironmentalImpact, #ChemicalContaminationCheck our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

Today we're proud to share another talk from DemystiCon '24 with legendary history of physics, Dr. Alberto Martinez from the University of Texas, Austin. This is our second podcast with Dr. Martinez, unpacking the hidden history of the physicists that brought us to the strange quantum foundation for reality where reality stops making sense. In his talk, Dr. Martinez explores a few key moments where things appear to have gone astray around the turn of the 20th century. He then entertains a luxuriously deep Q&A session exploring solution sets, alternative approaches to physics education, and the role of epistemic humility in truly productive science.

It's our final solo conversation from the tour and we're breaking down an issue that we have held different perspectives on for quite some time: the limits & importance of free speech. In part, we are responding the documentary "This Place Rules" by Channel 5 creator, Andrew Callaghan, which tracks the absurdity, hipocracy, and more than anything, the profiteering surrounding the buildup to the 2021 invasion of the Capitol in Washington D.C. Shilo argues that it could have been avoided if dissidents hadn't had their voices removed from the internet. Nastia isn't convinced, on account of the power of the incentives backing the revolt. In the end, we circle around the need for a de-algorithmatized public forum, which might provide the basis for an actual democratic republic.Tell us your thoughts in the comments!!!Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasB(00:00) Go!(00:04:30) The case for free speech absolutism(00:15:04) The days of rage and sanctioned protest(00:24:19) Handling a neighbor that's killing your chickens(00:34:33) Is an appreciation for dialogue on the rise?(00:43:59) Is the getting banned from internet to blame for the power of fringe movements?(00:50:07) The raw wound of forbidden speech(00:56:30) The central importance of(01:04:05) The need for a true public square(01:13:50) Closing thoughts#sciencepodcast, #FreeSpeech, #Democracy, #PoliticalPhilosophy, #InformationRegulation, #Populism, #FreedomOfExpression, #CivilRights, #PublicDiscourse, #IntellectualDialogue, #Liberty, #CensorshipDebate, #CriticalThinking, #DigitalEthics, #OnlineDebate, #PoliticalTheory, #EthicalCommunication, #MediaFreedom, #OpenSociety, #TruthSeeking, #DemocraticValuesCheck our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

This presentation was recorded on April 7th, 2024 at the first DemystifySci conference in Austin TX. Dr. Pierre-Marie Robitaille presents an overview of his multi-decadal quest to understand the material basis of the stars. He also reveals a new theory to explain Mercury's anomalous precession - one that doesn't revert to warped spacetime or mathematical acrobatics. In the process, a clever solution to the mysterious solar cycles of magnetism is revealed, along with a possible mechanism for planetary formation, and sun spot production. Dr. Robitaille has faced an onslaught of attacks from the astrophysical community since he first turned his attention to the sun, perhaps because the material basis of the sun underpins all astrophysical revelations of modern times from black holes to the big bang. Like it or not, the material understanding of the sun appears to be in dire need of revision, and Dr. Robitaille has some unimpeachable concerns about the status quo.Tell us your thoughts in the comments!!!Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasB(00:00) Go!(00:03:28) The secret to Pierre's Success(00:06:32) The Solar Photosphere(00:08:51) What the continuous solar spectrum tells us about the structure of the sun(00:11:56) Studying the Corona(00:14:39) William Harkeness at the Naval Observatory(00:19:33) Is the corona really at millions of degrees?(00:21:23) Does the sun have a surface?(00:24:28) The standard solar model and the gaseous sun(00:31:31) Does the sun have a surface?(00:37:32) Evolution of liquid sun theories(00:41:49) Liquid metallic hydrogen solar model(00:47:13) The little cousin of carbon(00:55:44) Liquid Metallic Hydrogen Solar Model(01:02:11) Limb darkening and the liquid sun(01:05:00) Sunspots as evidence of lattice structure(01:06:17) Chemistry in the Chromosphere(01:12:53) An Encounter with the Sun(01:14:12) Celestial Geometry of a Total Eclipse(01:16:24) Eclipses through history(01:20:16) Eclipses and Ancient Civilizations(01:24:36) Lockyer's & Janssen's Eclipse Studies(01:25:54) The Transit of Venus(01:30:01) Le Verrier and The New Planets(01:31:34) The Problem of Mercury's Perihelion(01:33:43) Searching for Vulcan(01:40:19) Two Vulcans?(01:42:49) The Dzhanibekov Effect and Mercury#sciencepodcast, #Astrophysics, #SolarScience, #StellarStructure, #SpaceResearch, #SunAndStars, #AstronomyTalks, #CosmicInsights, #SpaceExploration, #ScientificDebate, #SolarMystery, #StarFormation, #GalacticResearch, #AstroDiscussion, #SolarPhysics, #CuttingEdgeScience, #SpaceDiscovery, #CosmicMysteries, #AstroDebate, #SolarComplexity, #StellarPhysicsCheck our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

It’s week 5 on the road, and we’re deep in the weeds about the question of what we, as scientists, owe the world. Technological progress alone seems like a weak orienting principle, as does abandoning the pursuit of knowledge completely. So how do we hew a path that makes sense, when it seems like the institutions and organizations around us have gone astray? To help us make sense of the interface between science and ethics, we turn to an essay called “To Young Scientists,” read by Ayn Rand at MIT in the 1960s. Rand was writing at the peak of the nuclear age, where the destruction of the species, if not the planet, seemed imminent. Today, the threat of nuclear conflict looms once again, but the cutting edge risk lies in the ceaseless development of machine learning and AI technologies that threaten to engulf all of human practice. There are no easy answers at hand, but we eke out a few basic principles that can serve as the starting point for building a life where progress & meaning can align.

Marcell Fóti is an ancient mysteries researcher who is trying to figure out how the ancient Egyptians and other cultures were able to carve stones with sub-millimeter precision with relatively primitive bronze tools. Fóti’s experiments with geopolymers - ceramic polymers that can easily be mistaken for natural stone - have led him to the conclusion that the inexplicable stonework of the ancient world doesn’t have to remain a mystery. We talk to him about Natron Theory, the five part explanation for how Egyptians made their false stones, the role that natural salt deposits play in the development of a stone-making civilization, evidence that precise stonework and natron are correlated around the world, and the open questions about the ancient stone makers that remain.

On the road between Austin and Santa Fe we make a pit stop in Roswell, New Mexico and sit down to make heads or tails of the UAP phenomena. Both of us are skeptics who want to believe, but are cursed by a nature that prevents us from committing to a single perspective. Instead, we dive into the mythological signifiers that surround the phenomenon, the deep yearning for someone who can take care of us, and the psychological innovations that are driven by the fear of living on a planet whose uncaring systems are so immense that they appear wholly beyond our control.Tell us your thoughts in the comments!!!Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasB(00:00) Go!(00:04:10) Is there a there, there?(00:14:39) What's so tasty about alien invaders(00:23:49) Fear as a catalyst for psychological innovation(00:29:57) AI sky god vs alien sky god(00:35:30) UAP as a moral technological template(00:39:34) Memories of ancestral events(00:43:38) Luciferian tale of the gardener(00:47:19) Oddities of non-interference(00:52:43) An alien source of eco-consciousness(01:00:47) Supernatural gloss of civilization(01:04:41) Closing thoughts#UAP, #UFOs, #Extraterrestrial, #Mythology, #JungianAnalysis, #PsychoanalyticApproach, #PodcastConversation, #AlienEncounters, #AncientAliens, #UnexplainedPhenomena, #ConspiracyTheories, #Paranormal, #ExploringTheUnknown, #HumanHistory, #MythAndRealityCheck our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

Today we start out with the observation that a dominant faction of the techno-futurist community seems to believe that if our civilization maximizes intelligence, everything will be just fine in the end. We intuitively balk at this promise - and in general, we are skeptical at the lack of vision about what that future might look like. To understand this belief we have to understand what is meant by "intelligence." Then we have to consider the alternatives. We look at the evolution of this dream/nightmare from the earliest days of computer science through the lenses of sci-fi authors like Bradbury & PKDick up through a recent JRE interview with Ray Kurzweil.Tell us your thoughts in the comments!Follow our band Secretary of Nature as we're on tour! https://www.instagram.com/secretary.of.nature/Listen to Secretary of Nature!https://soundcloud.com/laterisgoneSign up for a yearly Patreon membership for discounted conference tickets: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB(00:00) Go!(00:06:14) Futurists value computation above all(00:08:14) Quality matters for vision(00:10:20) Intelligence: wisdom, insight, computation(00:14:45) Futurists dream to become god?(00:17:44) Insight & wisdom at the cellular level(00:23:13) False wisdom & hallucinatory insight(00:31:53) Comfort, computational value structure, and slavery(00:38:54) Bradbury corollaries(00:45:24) Soviet model: computational decision making(00:53:23) Exponential computation goes to bureaucratic singularity(00:58:09) We could be wrong.

Michael has a long history of trying to understand the role that water plays in fundamental biological operations from structural assembly to diseases like Alzheimers and Prion disorders. Presently, he is hard at work on a biological theory of everything where water plays out the role of central actor in biological processes from form to consciousness. Our conversation today begins with Michael's journey into the water rabbit hole, exploring the strange way that water structures itself within cells. We work toward an understanding of water as a photo-electrically, an electro-statically sensitive molecule capable of mechanically altering cellular function in response to conscious and external signals. We hope to have Michael back to explore a mutual fascination with the historic interface of spirituality and science by way of Rudolph Steiner and Western esotericism.Tell us your thoughts in the comments!!!Sign up for a yearly Patreon membership for discounted conference tickets: https://bit.ly/3lcAasBGilbert Ling's website & books: https://www.gilbertling.org/books.htmlModern review based on the Association Induction Hypothesis: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32565181/Rice University Archives of the Impossible: https://libguides.rice.edu/impossiblearchives(00:00) Go!(00:09:25) APS 2024(00:11:01) Biochemistry to Cell Biology to Water Physics(00:12:49) Math has true answers(00:16:21) Prions, amyloids(00:25:49) Stress granules as proto-organelle(00:32:38) Aging as disease or no?(00:44:08) Water as biological theory of everything(00:57:19) Transient h-bonding structures(01:15:11) Water density as biological master switch?(01:26:41) Water as dark matter of consciousness(01:40:13) UAPs to be taken seriously?(01:54:36) Evidence-based beliefs?(02:11:43) Remote viewing(02:28:10) Science without spirituality?#science #sciencepodcast #BiologicalResearch #WaterInScience #ConsciousnessStudies #CellularFunction #MedicalScience #StJudesResearch #Biochemistry #AlzheimersResearch #PrionDisorders #ScienceAndSpirituality #PodcastInterview #MedicalInnovation #ResearchInsights #ScienceCommunication #HealthAndWellness #WaterMolecule #StructuralBiology #ConsciousnessExploration #SpiritualScience #SciencePodcast #structuredwater #waterscience #waterchemistry Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

While we're on the road we've decided to take a moment each week to review and articulate our own insights the past year's podcast conversations. In our first On Tour Solo Edition we're examining how a theorist's metaphysics shape their inquiry. We establish metaphysics as the underlying assumptions that allow for the logical processing of a natural phenomenon. We see how several of our guests have differed in metaphysics, particularly with respect to fundamental physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.Follow our band Secretary of Nature as we're on tour this spring! https://www.instagram.com/secretary.of.nature/Listen to Secretary of Nature!https://soundcloud.com/laterisgoneSign up for a yearly Patreon membership for discounted conference tickets: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB(00:00) Go!(00:03:52) Wars are fought over metaphysics(00:08:49) Dualism(00:13:32) Metaphysics of QM(00:21:45) Unzicker & Roberts' metaphysics(00:28:27) Utility of materialist physics(00:32:18) Thomas Gold, Michael Levin(00:39:03) Proving metaphysical value(00:41:18) Cosmology, astro, planetary science revolutions(00:45:15) Monolithic cosmological narratives(00:49:44) Cosmic egg v. outsider cultures(00:56:34) Logic, reason, & immaterial actions(01:02:50) Mental illness & causelessness(01:08:42) Good v. bad, progress, & metaphysics(01:13:13) Intellectual generosity(01:16:11) Examination, the Aiello, Zharkova fires#science #sciencepodcast #MetaphysicsMatters, #PodcastReview, #PhilosophyDiscussion, #QuantumMetaphysics, #CosmologyDebate, #TheoreticalPhysics, #AstrophysicsInsights, #MetaphysicalInquiry, #LogicAndReason, #IntellectualDiscourse, #CosmicNarratives, #MaterialistPhysics, #SpiritualInquiry, #PhilosophicalDebate, #MindBodyDualism, #ScienceAndPhilosophy, #ExistentialQuestions, #IntellectualExchange, #MetaphysicalPerspectives, #PhilosophicalReflectionsCheck our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

For decades, Egyptologists have dismissed the notion that the pyramids incorporated any human-made cement-like materials. But Barsoum's team at Drexel University has uncovered startling new evidence from advanced microscopy analysis of pyramid samples. We talk to him about becoming entranced with the deep history of Egypt, the process of determining the true nature of a stone, and the open questions about this lost civilization that keep him up at night. What if these discoveries are enough to reshape our understanding of just how advanced and ingenious the ancient Egyptian builders were?Sign up for a yearly Patreon membership for discounted conference tickets: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB(00:00) Go!(00:04:00) Who is Dr. Barsoum?(00:12:29) The romance of differential equations(00:18:47) Academic careers over the years(00:28:12) Geopolymers in Egypt(00:45:49) Visual vs. chemical analysis(01:04:05) The Impossibility of Egyptian Construction(01:17:25) Geometry of Pyramid Construction(01:20:36) Casing Stones alone?(01:25:07) Cast stone in other parts of the world(01:32:45) Geochemistry & material properties(01:44:45) Boundary conditions#science #sciencepodcast #AncientEgypt #Pyramids #Giza #Archaeology#Egyptology #MaterialsScience #Geopolymers #Concrete#SyntheticStone #AncientTechnology #AncientEngineering#ConstructionMarvels #PyramidCode Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

Professor De Cruz' research focuses on philosophy of cognitive science and philosophy of religion, with an eye for historic progressions through ideologies across the ages. In her own words, she is guided by the following question: "We spend what seem on the face of it outlandish amounts of time and energy on these pursuits, which appear to be inessential in keeping us alive in the struggle for survival and reproduction. Why do we make life even more complicated than it already is?" We aim this line of inquiry at understanding the state of today's modern physical conception of the universe: a highly mathematized, often paradoxical interpretation of fundamental material reality.Sign up for a yearly Patreon membership for discounted conference tickets: https://bit.ly/3lcAasBProfessor De Cruz' website: https://helendecruz.net/(00:00) Go!(00:03:55) Seeking out the Renaissance(00:11:11) Missing piece of the middle ages(00:18:31) Downstream of the invention of the printing press(00:26:50) Eternal recurrence(00:34:30) Necessary waypoints for collaboration(00:44:51) A kind of thought that touches all domains(00:56:04) Aristotle - friend or foe to the age of reason?(01:06:55) Getting rid of the prime mover(01:14:45) Untangling "why" from "how"(01:18:51) Kant throws fuel on the fire(01:28:04) Crowning physics as king of the castle(01:36:54) Mystical power of mathematics (i.e. runes)(01:47:46) Wonder in Newton vs Wonder in Descartes(01:56:44) The Conduit of Inspiration to Reality(02:07:49) Is there such a thing as an "accident"?(02:13:48) Closing thoughts#science #sciencepodcast #philosophy #philosophypodcast #MetaphysicalOrigins, #PhilosophyofScience, #ModernScientificUnderstanding, #PhilosophicalInquiry, #IntellectualEvolution, #ScientificMetaphysics, #RenaissanceIdeas, #PhilosophicalPerspectives, #HistoricalProgressions, #CognitiveScienceInsights, #ReligionandScience, #PhilosophyofCognition, #ScientificInquiry, #IdeologicalEvolution, #ScientificRevolution, #MetaphysicalConcepts, #ContemporaryPhilosophy, #IntellectualJourney, #ScientificIdeas, #philosophicaldebate Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

This is our second conversation with esteemed physics professor, Dr. Andrê Koch Torres Assis. Following our earlier discussion of Weber's electrodynamics, we now move into Professor Assis' other passion: Machian dynamics. Mach is perhaps one of the most well-known behind-the-scenes players in the saga of modern physics. Einstein and others often point to Mach as inspiring their ideas but it is often unclear exactly what Mach was proposing when he said that inertia was simply the result of the gravity of the sum total of all of the distant celestial bodies acting upon something locally. In this podcast we explore Mach's ideas through a few simple experiments. Please tell us your thoughts in the comments!

At least 87 potential authors - from Daniel Defoe to Sir Francis Drake to Anne Hathaway to Sheikh Zubar - have been proposed as candidates, but all of these proposals suffer from the same problem - they don't quite fit the historical facts and so have to be stretched, ill fitting, to even be considered. Only one of the theories seems to make sense in context of history and biography, and it is that the true author of the plays was Sir Thomas North, soldier, lawyer, and translator. Returning guest Dennis McCarthy is joined by journalist Michael Blanding and author Derek Hunter for a conversation about uncovering the true identity of Shakespeare, the life and times of Thomas North, and the tangled thread of politics, philosophy, and liberty that stretches from the printing press to ChatGPT by way of the Old Globe.Tell us what you think in the comments or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQubSupport the podcast by buying Michael Blanding, Dennis McCarthy, and Dennis Hunter's books:North by Shakespeare: https://amzn.to/4a3xp4nThomas North, the Original Author of Shakespeare's Plays: https://amzn.to/3wF1nNxAnonymous Agnostic Antichrist: https://amzn.to/3v17rj7Sign up for a yearly Patreon membership for discounted conference tickets: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB(00:00) Go!(00:03:22) The man & the myth(00:16:08) Repurposing of ancient tales(00:29:27) Conventional Shakespeare Story(00:49:11) Lost Plays of Other Authors(01:04:39) Ressurection of ancient mythology(01:10:25) Theory without a home(01:19:41) Thowing out the good with the bad(01:23:33) Cycles of secular idealism(01:42:42) Telling theory in fiction(01:49:46) Essex rebellion(02:04:20) How to move the needle?(02:16:48) Modern renaissance in the future?(02:28:22) Pendulum of history(02:30:46) Where to find more#Shakespeare #authorshipdebate #SirThomasNorth #DennisMcCarthy #MichaelBlanding #DerekHunter #history #biography #literature #mythsCheck our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

The details of how a sidelined theology became the mainstream have always been obscure but fascinating, an indication of a powerful hold that a spiritual movement exerted in just a few generations. But what if thinking about the emergence of Christianity as a folk tradition is all wrong? What if it sprang, fully formed, from the minds of the Flavian Emperors who wanted to negotiate a lasting peace with the messianic Jews besieging Rome? We untangle the fantastic story of Christianity and Empire with Warren Fahy, independent scholar and best-selling author of CREATING CHRIST: How the Roman Emperors Invented Christianity.Support the DemystifySci Podcast by reading Warren Fahy's books: https://amzn.to/3Tv3pYDTell us what you think in the comments or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQubSign up for a yearly Patreon membership for discounted conference tickets: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB(00:00:00)

Using her technical knowledge of natural language processing systems, Seneff set out to untangle the biological literature to see if it was possible to identify an environmental contaminant that could be responsible for the exploding numbers of diagnoses. To her surprise, there was a robust correlation with widespread use of glyphosate, an herbicide that is the main ingredient of the Monsanto product Round-up. We talk about her path to uncovering the correlation, a potential biochemical mechanism for how it could be involved in so many disorders, and the controversy that has swirled after she went public with her findings.

He has been named as “one of the greatest financial historians alive” by Fortune magazine, as a result of his prediction of the last two economic bubbles, detailed in his books Devil Take Hindmost, about financial speculation during the dot com bubble and Crunch Time for Credit, about the 2005 housing bubble. He’s attempting the hat trick of economic doomsaying with his most recent book, The Price of Time, all about the true role of interest rates in economic crashes. He argues that abnormally low interest rates coupled to a policy of perpetual quantitative easing has led to an “everything bubble” where all assets, everywhere, are tremendously overvalued. We talk about how he came up with this theory, the poorly understood role of interest, what can be learned from economic collapses of hundreds of years ago, and how theory doesn’t always line up with reality.

He was a columnist for Scientific American for 11 years, until they fired him for his 1995 book, The End of Science. In it, Horgan argues that increases in human knowledge have reached an asymptotic phase of marginal improvements, and the future of science is going to look a whole lot like the present. Twenty five years after publication, Horgan’s certainty about the fate of science has started to waver. Quantum physics doesn’t totally fit together, the JWST keeps finding things that don’t make any sense, and our sense of what makes a biological organism is getting constantly blown apart. In our conversation, we go through what Horgan saw that made him so confident that we were almost at the end, how the landscape has changed since the mid nineties, the areas of science that seem most likely to open a whole new world of study for generations to come, and ideas that probably aren't going anywhere, but maybe should.Pick up John Horgan's books on Amazon & support the show: https://amzn.to/49bd7WDTell us what you think in the comments or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQubSign up for a yearly Patreon membership for discounted conference tickets: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB(00:00)

Cruttenden suggests an alternative explanation for the precession of the equinoxes, suggesting that our sun is part of a binary star system. We consider details of the axial procession, question existing models, and uncover the potential link between civilization cycles and solar cycles. Come along as we traverse the realms of cosmic mysteries, technological progress, and the desire to understand the mysterious celestial dance that could reshape our understanding of our solar system's journey through the cosmos.Tell us what you think in the comments or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQubSupport the guest and DSPod when you pick up his books here: https://amzn.to/3HLw4D2Sign up for a yearly Patreon membership for discounted conference tickets: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB(00:00) Go!(00:03:40) Dive right into it(00:06:57) Axial procession, and issues with the existing model(00:18:15) Procession of the equinoxes only affects objects outside the solar system?(00:25:20) Is the sun part of a binary star system?(00:34:27) Barnard's Star, a potential solar partner?(00:45:25) Missing science on Barnard's Star(00:55:42) Linking civilization cycles to solar cycles(01:05:02) Broken link between technological progress and enlightenment(01:16:49) Pathways to a wiser civilization(01:28:11) Facing the desire to stop things from changing(01:36:41) Closing thoughts#CosmicRevelations, #BinaryStars, #AstronomyInsights, #TimeTravelingTurtles, #CelestialDance, #GalacticMysteries, #SolarSystemExploration, #AlternativeAstronomy, #WalterCruttenden, #PrecessionOfEquinoxes, #CosmicWisdom, #SolarCycles, #CivilizationConnections, #StellarDiscoveries, #TommyTheTurtle, #SpaceExploration, #AstrologicalInsights, #CosmicParadigmShift, #LostStarJourney, #EnlightenedCivilizations, #sciencepodcast Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

He was also an early proponent of the Younger Dryas Impact hypothesis, which suggests that at the end of the last glaciation that an enormous asteroid shattered upon entry into Earth’s atmosphere, showering North Africa, Europe, and North America in meteoritic fragments. Proponents of the Younger Dryas impact theory point to numerous lines of evidence that suggest the event is more than theoretical. There are molten rocks called tektites, a “black mat” of charred organic material that encircles the globe, and a massive extinction event that all correspond to the time and location of the proposed impact. But the Younger Dryas impact theory remains controversial. We talk catastrophic history, cold fusion technology, origin of life, why people are so upset about the Younger Dryas Impact hypothesis, and Malcom Bendall’s thunderstorm generator.

Harper has also served the Bush and Clinton administrations as director of the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, where he was tasked with allocating DOE funds to promising research projects. More recently, he was appointed senior director of the National Security Council office for emerging technologies by the Trump administration - an position that was cut short due to disagreements within the administration about Happer’s strong stance on the relationship between CO2 and climate. Namely, that there is not a strong relationship between CO2 and warming, and that mitigation strategies that are being rolled out around the world will do more harm than good. On the podcast we talk about science as a refuge from social conflict, leading DOE science policy in the nineties, the questionable success of the Ozone hole story, the future of energy, and the disaster of making the wrong moves.

Our conversation explores how physics, in the main, seems only to be able to tolerate one theoretical framework at a time. This has the potential to leave many revelations behind on the cutting room floor.

Dr. Steve Keen is an Australian economist and author. A post-Keynesian, he criticizes neoclassical economics as inconsistent, unscientific and empirically unsupported. Our conversation examines the false dichotomy of capitalism v. socialism and considers the true dichotomy, which is industrial capitalism v. finance capitalism. Hudson and Keen argue that the transition to finance capitalism, where unearned income is considered economic growth, has truly sown the seeds to ruin the world.Tell us what you think in the comments or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQubSign up for a yearly Patreon membership for discounted conference tickets: https://bit.ly/3lcAasBSupport DSPod and the guests when you pick up their books here:Hudson books: https://amzn.to/3Sx6k43Keen books: https://amzn.to/3MFJ14i(00:00:00)

Scott Turner is a physiologist who has contributed extensively to our understanding of collective intelligence through his work on the behavior of mound building termites. Early in his career he realized that the the textbook explanation for the mounds - that they contributed to temperature regulation of the underlying colony - were woefully incomplete. Through his work, Turner was able to demonstrate that the mounds were actually an integral part of the physiological success of the termites - rather than being a temperature regulating mechanism, the mounds acted as an external lung that was built and maintained by the colony for the express purposes of air filtration and circulation. Downstream of this realization, Turner developed a theory that suggests Darwinism alone - in context of survival of the fittest as the sole driver of the diversity of life - was an incomplete representation of the dynamics of life. We talk about the details of how to rewrite Darwin with a greater emphasis on epigenetics, collective intelligence, and the innate drive of purpose that is particular to life. (00:00:00)

Dr. Patrick Vanraes is a researcher at PLASMANT, University of Antwerp. He focuses on the fundamental features of in-liquid plasma and plasma-liquid interaction, as well as the physics of liquid matter. His work involves experiments, simulations and extensive review of historic work. Our conversation starts with Dr. Vanraes' important finding that plasmas can be generated in liquids without a gas intermediate. Then we explore the implications of a liquid plasma sun for all of cosmology. After all, if gases truly cannot produce blackbody spectra - as has never been shown in a laboratory - then the cosmic microwave background radiation is overdue for a new explanation.

Steve Bryant is an author, researcher and futurist who studies the innovative application of emerging technologies, who has long been curious about the gaps and inconsistencies of general relativity. Armed with Chat GPT with a Wolfram Alpha plugin, Bryant combed through Einstein’s papers, where he discovered key mathematical inconsistencies that invalidate the mathematical basis of Einstein’s most famous theorem. We discuss the simple mathematical proof for what Bryant has discovered, the difficulty of unseating beloved ideas, and what comes after relativity.

Dr. Richard Lindzen is an American atmospheric physicist known for his work in the dynamics of the middle atmosphere, atmospheric tides, and ozone photochemistry. He served as the Gordon McKay Professor of Dynamic Meteorology at Harvard University and was appointed as the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the MIT. Dr. Lindzen has disputed the scientific consensus on climate change and criticizes what he has called "climate alarmism". Rather than picking apart the arguments for or against said climate narratives, our conversation is largely focused on the question of what would motivate such alleged deception were it found to be the case.

Dr. Adam Mastroianni is a Harvard and Oxford educated psychologist who loves the idea of science, but not so much it's modern practice. After being told one too many times that his academic writing was "too fun" for academic journals, he decided to devote his time to what science should actually look like - which is passionate people being free to explore the ideas that keep them up at night. He writes prolifically about this at his Experimental History Substack, and on the podcast we talk about how peer review made everything fall apart, how all the bad papers in the world can't take down a single good idea, and the dream of buying a house in Boston and filling it with people who can spend all their free time thinking their way out of the box we're in.

Curtis Yarvin is a blogger from the Dark Enlightenment movement, who advocates for the position that democracy is a failed experiment that should be replaced with an accountable monarchy that mirrors the structure at the top of corporations. One of the main points of evidence for how democracy has failed is the emergence of science as a phenomenon of trust and power, where consensus is used as a cudgel to nudge and motivate the behavior of populations, downstream of a complex mixture of financial and personal incentives. We talk about the nature of this degradation, the burden of proof in a world that's one step short of a simulation, and the path our from the crisis we're in.

Dr. Bruce Damer is a biologist, computer scientist, and director of the BIOTA Institute at UC Santa Cruz with a compelling theory for the origin of life on Earth. Damer and his colleagues have proposed that life didn't begin at the bottom of the ocean, or at a hydrothermal vent, or in the irradiated clouds of the early Earth. They propose the formation of the earliest cells out in the open, at the margins of vernal pools filled with amino acids, minerals, and proto-nucleotides rained down on Earth in the form of micrometeorites. We talk about the hardest questions on Earth, why hydrothermal vents are a dead end, why origin of life researchers don't throw hot coffee at each other any more, and how figuring out where we came from might let us keep going for long enough to reach the stars.

Sid Chhabra is a computer scientist and scholar of Vedic cosmology. His research has revealed startling quantitative similarities between the predictions of ancient works and modern mathematical physics. Fundamentally, however, Sid approaches cosmology as an integrative art that requires one to put themselves into a cosmic context on a daily basis. He argues that cosmology is a study rich with meaning for each person's journey through this world.

Bernie Taylor is a Naturalist, Archaeoastronomer and Author who has written extensively about the true stories of human evolution, as told through the mythological portrayals in rock art found across Europe and Africa. Through a comparative examination of the rock art found in Spain’s El Castillo cave, at the Rock of Gibraltar, and in South Africa’s Rising Star Cave, Taylor paints a picture of a highly mobile, artistic tribe of humans that completed massive migrations and carried with them the cultural imprint of their celestial maps of meaning.

Dr. Li Min is a professor of prehistoric and Bronze Age Chinese archaeology at UCLA, who focuses on state formation, social memory, and story telling. He is also a key player in the excavation of Shimao, a site on the Yellow River in Northwest China that displays iconography from four thousand years ago that looks strikingly Mesoamerican. We discuss the context in which Shimao rose to become a major regional power, the heady interaction sphere between the city and the shamanic Steppe and Altai cultures that surrounded it, the persistence of imagery unchanged across thousands of years, and much more.

Samo Burja is a research fellow at the Long Now Foundation, the founder of Bismarck Analysis, and originator of the Great Founder theory, who is driven by a simple question. Why have all prior civilizations failed, and how can ours escape the same fate? Our conversation focuses on the ways in which getting good data is almost impossible. Civilizations rise, fall, and their skeletons get scavenged to nourish what comes next. Floods sweep the landscape clean of the best laid plans, and rising sea levels bury the rest. We talk about the future of the academy, the search for buried treasures, and informed searches for long-lost cultures. Note - we had some technical difficulties at the end here, and so the audio for the last 20 minutes is pretty choppy. Apologies! We're working on making sure it doesn't happen again.

Dr. Ogi Ogas is a computational neuroscientist, former Harvard scholar, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire contestant. He’s the author of two published books - "This is What it Sounds Like," about the cognitive signatures of individual music preferences, and "A Billion Wicked Thoughts," an analysis of human sexuality through the impartial lens of web searches. who has previously appeared on the DemystifySci podcast to explain how we’ve had a solution to the hard problem of consciousness for decades, and is back to discuss his upcoming book, "Large Gods for Small Children," a memoir where he lays out his lifelong relationship with Intex, and extraterrestrial intelligence. Ogas explains how his relationship with these cosmic minds has granted him insight into the mathematics of consciousness, a deeper understanding of the nature of the universe, and insight into the cosmic battles waged between distant advanced civilizations. Ogas explains how these interactions have led him to the mathematics of consciousness, an understanding of how the universe is made of minds, and perspective on the cosmic conflicts.

Gregg Braden is an author and independent researcher who has spent a lifetime working to bridge the gap between science and spirituality. Our discussion centers upon the inevitable institutional corruptions that appear in any aging system but moreover imagines what a more functional structure might look like. Along the way we discuss the origins of humanity, the tech revolution, and our bifurcating species.

His career has focused on the study of debt, both external and internal, with an eye on what happens when the exponentially growing debts of a society outstrip the profits from the real economy. In the second part of our conversation we talk about modern monetary theory, the path towards debt forgiveness, and the foundational rules of a more perfect society that is not getting devoured by the rentier class.

Dr. James Tour is a Professor of Chemistry, Materials Science and Nanoengineering at Rice University who comes to defend a bold claim: that origin of life researchers are completely clueless about the mechanisms by which life arose on Earth. We start out with talking about Tour’s chemistry work, which includes a method of producing no cost hydrogen fuel and graphene too cheap to meter, the foundations on which he’s built his science empire, and get down to the vital chemistry questions that need to be answered before we can figure out what the earliest cells could have looked like.

Dr. Stephen Grossberg is a cognitive scientist, theoretical psychologist, neuroscientists and mathematician who, with Gail Carpenter, is the originator of Adaptive Resonance Theory - an explanation of how we learn without catastrophic forgetting. It also happens to be a solution to the hard problem of consciousness. We discuss the problem of catastrophic forgetting, the ways that resonant states lead to consciousness, the AI cliques that have taken over the industry, and why AGI is impossible under current design parameters.

Stephen Crothers is a mathematician, physicist, and scholar of relativity who believes there are fundamental mistakes in the mathematics that have created an impenetrable confusion at the heart of physics for more than a hundred years. We talk to him about how errors in equations get propagated from mind to paper to pen, the ways in which relativity has created impossible features that defy explanation, and the curve-fitting crisis at LIGO and WMAP that undermines the foundational pillars of the Big Bang.

Joscha Bach is a German artificial intelligence researcher and cognitive scientist who works on on cognitive architectures, mental representation, emotion, social modeling, and multi-agent systems. We got connected over the hard problem of consciousness - namely, why do people seem to think it’s so hard? During our conversation we deal with the foundational questions of the technological future being built in Silicon Valley, the fever dream of machine intelligence, and try to understand why people seem to think that there’s even such a thing as the hard problem of consciousness in the first place.

Dr Edward Bryant is a Research Fellow in Exoplanets Characterisation at University College London. His research has uncovered the existence of giant planets in orbit around low-mass stars, potentially upsetting our current paradigms of solar system formation. We discuss the detection of planets in strange places, the odd distribution of heavy stuff in our solar system, and the art of piercing the veil of uncertainty that hangs over our understanding of the cosmosCheck out Bryant’s exoplanet paper here: https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/521/3/3663/7069338Check out the SciTech Daily article on it here: https://scitechdaily.com/challenging-widely-accepted-theory-of-planetary-formation-small-stars-may-host-bigger-planets-than-thought/Read more of his work here: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/mssl/people/dr-edward-bryantSupport the scientific revolution by joining our Patreon: https://bit.ly/3lcAasBTell us what you think in the comments or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub

Dr. Ogi Ogas is a theorist, author, and visiting scholar at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, where he serves as Project Head for the Individual Mastery Project. Ogas boasts to be in possession of the end theory of consciousness, and he makes a rock solid case for it. You be the judge. Our conversation begins with an introduction to the problems of consciousness and walks through a topological framework for the emergence of increased complexity in biological awareness, culminating in rare cases of self-consciousness, perhaps best exemplified by our own species. We then consider the future evolution of consciousness as humans reach outward for the stars.

Leighton Akio Woodhouse is a journalist, Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker, and co-founder of Public, a Substack focused on cities, energy, and the environment. His recent work has been focused on untangling the urban decay that is sweeping through American cities, with a focus on the downwing incentive structures that have created a self-perpetuating homeless industrial complex whose existence depends on the perpetuation of the homelessness crisis. We talk about the decay of San Francisco, how the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and the chokehold of emotion-first activism. We also discuss the Twitter Files, widespread involvement of former intelligence officials at high levels at tech companies, and the end goal of clamping down on discourse.

We discuss the principles of quantized inertia as a derivation of photon pressure at the cosmological horizon in the form of Unruh radiation, the path to formulating an mathematical formulation for an everything-is-connected universe, and how the Casimir effect that emerges from the theory can be used to engineer novel, combustion-less propulsion mechanisms.

Geoffrey Drumm is an Egyptologist and self-taught chemist who has theorized that several ancient Egyptian pyramids were not pharaonic burial chambers - they were industrial manufacturing plants for ammonia based fertilizer and the raw materials used for metallurgy. His presentation begins inside the red pyramid, whose three chambers mirror the three stages of nitrogen fixation used in the Haber-Bosch process we depend upon today. We talk about the physical evidence his investigations have uncovered, the difficulty of doing research in Egypt, and pervasive belief of a primitive history for ancient civilizationsSupport the scientific revolution by joining our Patreon: https://bit.ly/3lcAasBTell us what you think in the comments or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub

Michael Levin is the Vannevar Bush Chair of the Biology department and director the Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology at Tufts University who is focused on understanding the cellular motivations that govern biological systems. In other words, why do cells create the bodies that they do, and what are the environmental conditions that need to change in order to rewire the bodies that these cells will make? The successes of his work, including permanently altered body plants in planarian flatworms and synthetic bodies from frog skin cells, have significantly challenged our limited perspectives about the extent to which biological systems have wants and needs that can only be satisfied through the fulfillment of an inherent program. We talk new perspectives on the nature of bodies, teleophobia, the game of life, and much more.

Dr. Beatriz Villarroel is a researcher at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics who is the brains behind the VASCO project - a study of Vanishing and Appearing Sources During a Century of Observation. The project asked a stunningly simple question - if we compare photographic plates of the cosmos taken in the 1950s with photographs taken in the last few years, would there be much of a difference? To their great surprise, Villarroel and colleagues discovered more than 100,000 mismatches between the two datasets. We talk to her about the missing objects, the art of astronomical observation, how to stay creative in a system that rewards incremental progress, and her ambitious goal of identifying and recovering an extraterrestrial object from within our solar system.

We catch up about new developments in his pole shift research before diving into his paleoarchaeological research on pre-Columbian contact between the Mediterranean and Meso-American cultures. Along the way we wrestle with convergent iconography on both sides of the ocean, bird gods with handbags, anomalous Sumerian artifacts, the true location of Babylon, and the Sons of Light.

Dr. John G. Williamson is a founding member of the Quicycle Society, and is back for a third conversation - this time about cosmological, electrical, and institutional questions. He is a veteran of CERN and the R&D division of Philips research who spends his days thinking about the unanswered problems in physics. In his view, there are foundational problems with key physical theories that scientists ignore at their own peril. Solutions to these inconsistencies will not be found at the end of a massively complicated equation that no one really understands - they will be found in the intuitive exploration of natural phenomena. We discuss the nature of the electron, possible causes for red shift, an explanation for charge, and the future of science. there are problems in physics that we can't keep ignoringSupport the scientific revolution by joining our Patreon: https://bit.ly/3lcAasBTell us what you think in the comments or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub

Dr. Philip Goff is a philosopher and writer on panpsychism who has recently turned his attention to the teleological aspects of the universe. In his upcoming book he explores the radical idea that perhaps the appearance of humans, animals, and all other life isn’t just a random outcome of pure physics bumping into itself.. it’s a phenomenon that has a grander point on the scale of the universe. We talk about the teleology of life, making it through to the other side of ultra capitalism, the spiritual struggles of success, and much more.

Arnie Benn is a writer, composer, designer whose recent work has been focused on the behavior of humans and magnets. In his upcoming book, the Animal in the Mirror, Benn explores the evolutionary patterns still at play in the human mind, with an emphasis on the animalistic aspects that tend to govern cognitive processes. For the Quantum Bicycle Society, he has been exploring material explanations for magnetism as a function of atomic orbitals shape. We talk about music, the endless project of maintaining the landscape of the soul, cosmological mysteries, and material explanations for atomic phenomena.

Dr. John G. Williamson is a well-known researcher and author whose work on particle physics, nano electronics, and on the physical foundations of atomic phenomena has been cited nearly 14,000 times. During his time at the advanced theoretical and experimental group at Philips Research, Williamson was part of the project that designed the first solid-state single electron device, and was able to take measurements of electrons in the quantum state. and discovered that they were enormous; in certain conditions, they were tens of nanometers across. This discovery, combined with his skepticism over particle physics that he acquired during his time at CERN, set him off on a new quest: to be the first person to truly understand the nature of the electron. With his Philips colleague Martin van der Mark, Williamson started the Quantum Bi-Cycle Society, which explores the physical foundation for atomic phenomena and hopes to settle, once and for all, the mysterious nature of the atom. We talk to him about the architectural principles necessary to satisfy the equations of quantum mechanics, serious problems with the quark model, the relationship between spin and charge, and why the definition of time is not the same thing as the nature of time.

Dr. Anthony Aveni has been writing about the relationship between humans and our astronomical habitat for more than fifty years. His latest work is inspired by a renewed interest in a more... biological aspect of the cosmos: Aliens. In his new book, Aliens Like Us, he explores why our stories about extraterrestrial visitation are just so, so boring. Rather than imagining a true “other” reaching out and contacting Earth, we seem to just be inventing a capitalist dystopia in space, with alien visitors who are just extracting resources or looking for potential experimental subjects. Aveni proposes a more interesting way of looking at it, where instead of just imagining ourselves from the future coming for a visit, we actually come up with something truly interesting.

Erik Zirnstein is a researcher at Princeton's Space Physics Group who is studying the outermost reaches of our solar system - the place where the heliosphere meets the interstellar medium. But how do you study something so large when you’re so very, very small? We explore the science behind the heliosphere and the interstellar medium, and the cutting-edge technologies that enable us to explore this structures found in this mysterious region of space, the sun as a point source, the slow but steady progress of technological advancements, layer-cake records preserved in the heliotail, and intriguing mysteries of the interstellar medium.

Charles Mann is a historian, journalist, and author known for groundbreaking non-fiction books. He was the first to challenge the traditional view of Americas before European contact, arguing that indigenous populations were much more advanced and populous than previously believed. Mann suggests that when colonists arrived, they encountered a native population that was already in decline due to various epidemics. By rewriting entrenched histories to more accurately reflect the past we gain a clearer understanding of the present and a better sense of what the future holds. In this interview we explore topics such as the resurgence of the buffalo, the sovereignty of conquered nations, and the conspiracy of fire.

Dennis McCarthy is a writer, historian, and independent researcher who, in the process of tracing Hamlet’s origin, ended up unwinding the entire legend of Shakespeare. Digging deeper into the history of Shakespeare's plays alongside collaborators June Schlueter and Michael Blanding, McCarthy uncovered evidence that all but two of Shakespeare’s plays were written by Sir Thomas North, an English translator, lawyers, and justice of the peace. We dig into the evidence for the overlap between the two figures, unpack the myth of the lone genius, and seek to understand how the origin of ideas is driven by the sum total of the biogeographic connections that impinge on a given time and place.

Alexander Unzicker is a theoretical physicist, historian, and author whose award-winning work focuses on the great unanswered questions of physics. He’s also the host of Unzicker’s Real Physics ( @TheMachian ) where he explores the path forward after a century of particle madness. We talk variable speed of light, the veil of differential geometry, why unification is so difficult, the bright line between mathematics and reality, and much, much more.

Dr. John G. Williamson and Arnie Benn are core members of the Quantum Bicycle Society, a collaborative group scientists who aims to build better models for everything from quantum mechanics to the cosmos. Williamson began the project with his colleague Dr. Martin van der Mark after a disillusioning stint at CERN, where he was confronted by the massive discrepancies between experimental results and the predictions of quantum chromodynamics. We talk the nature of the electron, the ur-stuff from which everything is made, misconceptions about the proton, alternative explanations for cosmic microwave background radiation, and more.

Dr. Rupert Sheldrake believes that memory is inherent to nature, and has spent the last forty years of his career investigating slippery, esoteric phenomena at the very edges of empiricism. Some of the results are intriguing - dogs that know when their owners have started the long journey home, crosswords that become easier to solve a few days after they’ve been published in the papers, IQ scores increase generation after generation. His work is ongoing, the territory marginal, and the implications immense.

Bernardo Kastrup has a PhD in philosophy and another in computer science, and is interested in a theory of consciousness that by necessity emerges from quantum physics. Which, in short, suggests that reality isn't real. What we interact with is just a dashboard, a simulacrum of what's actually going on. We try to understand limits of what matters, try on alternative interpretations for quantum spookiness, and try to make sense of why the world looks and acts the way that it does.

Dr. Thomas Metzinger is a renowned philosopher and professor of theoretical philosophy at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz. He also serves as a member of the European Commission’s High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence. Our eye-opening conversation with Dr. Metzinger explored a range of favorite topics all centered on the question: what does it mean to be a human in the post-modern landscape of for-profit healthscare, algorithmic decision-making, and endless war. We also discuss how the brightest future might result from the tiniest changes at the level of the individual, despite the self's inevitable recession into the increasingly totalitarian, yet inevitably unstable, global industrial-state machinery.

What happens when the FDA approves a drug that doesn't work? Say it gets accelerated approval from the regulatory body, but further clinical trials demonstrate a lack of efficacy. Normally, the agency requests that the company take their drug off the market, the company does so, and so the wheel turns. But when post-approval clinical trials showed that Genentech's blockbuster breast cancer drug Avastin was killing women, the company broke with more than a century of tradition, and declined to take their drug off the market. We talk with Miami University's Mikkael Sekeres about his experience sitting on the jury for the trial that denied Genentech's right to keep selling Avastin to breast cancer patients, regulatory capture, care for the dying, gamesmanship at the FDA and much, much more.

What happens when corrupt incentive structures and incorrect ecological assumptions crash into each other? A billion crabs vanish, and everyone blames it on the nebulous effects of a changing climate. Everyone, that is, except for Spencer Roberts - freelance journalist with bylines at the Intercept, Jacobin, Nautlius, and The New Republic. Roberts started looking into the hyperbolic headlines and discovered a predictable mess of corrupt incentive structures, questionable ecological practices, and a bottomless appetite for exploiting ever-deeper, colder waters. We talk greenwashing, corrupt incentives, government as corporation, nuclear power, and what to do about everything that's wrong.

Could the universe be shaped by consciousness, rather than the other way around? Most researchers working under the classical paradigm would say no - awareness is something that emerges from space time. But a new generation of cognitive neuroscientists, philosophers, and physicists has rebelled against the stalemate at the heart of consciousness research by asserting that clearly, obviously, inexorably... awareness must come first. This conversation with Dr. Jude Currivan, cosmological archaeologist with Masters in Physics from Oxford university, is our second attempt to understand how the physical world can spring from an abstraction. We talk about the mythmaking powers of science, the nature of reality, the holographic principle, and how it is not enough to consider things themselves - any robust theory of reality that attempts to understand awareness itself must explore the network itself.

Dr. David Carballo is back for another round with DemystifySci, this time all about the timeline of the peopling of the Americas. We talk about the timeline for human habitation of the Americas, where those people might have come from, and how it was that they came to organize themselves into villages, cities, and eventually empires. The first half of the conversation deals extensively with the early human history of the Americas, and the second half is all about the specifics of Teotihuacan - who built it, how did they do it, and how do we know?

Is it possible to view the future before it happens? A buttoned-up academy scientist would probably say no, but Julia Mossbridge, founding executive director of the Institute for Love and Time, would say yes. She comes from a line of scientists who have been willing to dive into the very edges of what can be studied with empirical science, and has come back from the front with stories to tell. We talk about the nature of science, the aggressive reactions in the establishment, how to train precognitive abilities, and much much more.

Is life inevitable? Or are we the unbelievable result of an against-all-odds game that has produced a pair of eyeballs capable of unravelling the mysteries of the universe? Nick Lane, Biochemist at the University College London, is torn. On the one hand, life seems like it has no choice but to occur. The biochemistry of metabolism is completely spontaneous, even in the absence of cells. But complexity? That's a whole different ballgame. We talk about why life on Earth is so strange, why a metabolic theory for life is so good, why Panspermia is so unsatisfying, and how some lab results imply our understanding of metabolism isn't as good as we think.

At the very bottom of all our attempts to explain nature there is a single question. Why is there anything at all? What are the forces that take an entire universe of undifferentiated matter and give it form? According to Ray Tomes of the Cycles Research Institute, the universe we occupy is shaped by the resonant pressure of cycles. The whole universe rings like a bell, with a fundamental frequency ringed by harmonic structures of decreasing intensity. In this model, the fundamental corresponds to the starting bell of the universe (big bang/big bounce/take your pick) and everything else - from galaxies to atoms - is the result of material being organized by the resultant harmonics. We get into the theory, explore implications for real life, and try to get some investment advice.

Fundamentally, this is a conversation about applied consciousness. We talk about the way that the "self" emerges from the resonant "structures" of the mind. These antennae decide the way that external stimuli are processed and integrated into experience, and so serve as the roots from which conscious experience springs. We talk about what happens when the antennae are tuned to a destructive resonance, the meditation industrial complex, the radical act of changing your mind, and much, much more.

These days, spring comes at strange times, winter barely arrives, and summer seems like it will never end. Conventional wisdom points to a single molecular cause - the rising tide of CO2 from increasing human activity. But that's an incomplete story, says Astrophysicist Nir Shaviv. It treats the Earth like it floats unmolested through the black night of the universe. But the full story is bigger, and weirder, and much more cosmic. We interview him about his cosmic ray theory of climate, cloud formation, and electricity.

Dr. Karl Friston is the most widely-cited neuroscientist in the world, known for his development of parametric mapping, a method for comparing brain scans between different patients that basically enabled the whole field of functional neuroscience. To follow up his insights into the human brain, Dr. Friston has turned his mathematical mind to other questions of life and consciousness, such as the distinction between living and not-living, the simplest division imaginable between things, and the great challenge of encoding emotional states. We dig into what a soulful robot might look like, and the new class of myths that humans and robots are going to have to write together.

Science is the source of modern myths, and cosmology - the study of the cosmos and our place in them - is the foundation on which the house of science is built. But we know that these myths, about the location of the Earth in the universe, about the verdant surface of Mars, about the firmament above a flat earth studded with glowing orbs, about the formation of the solar system - all these myths can suddenly change. We sit down with Brian Keating to discuss the nature of mythmaking in science, the golden calf of prizes, the ego, the will to power, and the search for the fingerprints of inflation.

DemystifySci is a show of opposites, and in the court of Science it is vital that we present both sides of any debate. To balance our tendency to favor arguments that undermine consensus, we have a conversation with Dr. Ethan Siegel, blogger, professor, podcaster, and high priest of the big bang and inflation cosmology. This is a primer of the foundations of thought in mainstream physics, and so constitutes mandatory listening for those interested in finding a new way forward because, despite the ways in which we disagree, Siegel is right about one thing. New theories have an enormous burden of proof, and it's our responsibility to meet that bar.

Photons don't exist, and the experimental results that got Clauser and Aspect a Nobel prize are a result of an incorrect interpretation of the data. So says experimental Physicist Eric Reiter, who has reproduced the famous experiments that show violations of Bell’s inequality and come out the other side with a much less spooky interpretation of quantum weirdness. According to Reiter’s Threshold Model, atoms are resonant structures that can absorb different amounts of energy based on their unknown baseline state, and entanglement is simply a misunderstanding of what is happening on the atomic level.

Most economic theories are what one would call "bounded," which is to say that they are based on a narrow window of human activity, be that time, or place, or category. This limitation produces ideas with middling real-world efficacy, as they cannot be widely applied to, say, the whole of humankind. But, what if an economic theory of everything, a decoder ring for why the condition of our species is the way it is, was possible? What would it look like? How could one idea help us understand the arc of human development all the way from stagnation, to growth, to inequality? Unified Growth Theory, laid out by Oded Galor in his new book, The Journey of Humanity, attempts to answer all of those questions. By studying the arc of human development from the earliest settlements of the fertile crescent to modern day socioeconomics, Galor purports to have solved the mystery of development. What we do with this knowledge, though, is still up to us.

We speak with David Carballo, Boston University archaeologist and anthropologist about the lost city of Teotihuacan which, at the start of the Common Era, was one of the largest cities in the world, boasting a population of more than 100,000 inhabitants from all corners of Mesoamerica. But all things end, and the capital city of the Teotihuacanos was no exception. Climate change, the collapse of social trust, and rising inequality meant that a few centuries later the builders of the city were buried by history. Studying what remains of the art and artifacts can shed some light on changes we can make in our own time stave off crisis.

Why are you the way that you are? Why do you hurry, or focus on the technical details, or let your mind drive up anxiety and worry? Do you know? Or, do you, like most people, simply take for granted that your internal state is inevitable and largely unchangeable? That you're just a happenstance combination of genetics, upbringing, scarring social moments, and the civilizational frame you've been brought up in? Neuroscientist, philosopher, psychiatrist, and author Iain McGilchrist (The Matter with Things, The Master and His Emissary) proposes that the essence of your you-ness isn't an external phenomenon, and isn't even encoded in your genetics. It's a byproduct of the way your brain is organized, where the left hemisphere - that cataloguing and exacting nag - has effectively taken over not just your cognition, and our cognition, but that of the entire species. Left hemisphere dominance is the reason that capitalism is so corrosive, why our jobs suck and our lives lack meaning, why the singing of birds and the sighing of the wind have lost their luster. It is the key to understanding ourselves, our society, our civilization... and maybe, even, our future.

PS A small note: we had some gnarly issues with lag in this recording, and so the conversation is a little stilted in parts. However, we thought it still warranted sharing, and hope you'll forgive us for the issues and will let us know what you thought of the ideas anyhow.

What if we're wrong about entanglement? This is the question that's been driving Carver Mead, Caltech Physicist and veteran of the semiconductor industry, and at this point, he's pretty sure that Bell's Theorem is wrong. This is a bold claim! After all, Clauser, Aspect and Zeilinger just won Nobel, the biggest prize in the world, for their work on painstaking experiments that seem to prove the spooky paradox - some information can travel faster than light! Not so fast, says Carver Mead. There's no problem with the experimental design, or the observation that the photons are "entangled." The problem lies upstream of the experiment, at the threshhold of understanding. What is a photon? What are the atoms doing when they're generating the signal that's being measured, and how does a physical understanding of the wave function change the spookiness of quantum mechanics?

Professor Lee Cronin is an organic chemist, but he isn't just interested in the usual research path of describing new chemicals, though he does do that - he's interested in understanding the fundamental principles of chemistry, and how they can be used for the search for life on other planets... and for the creation of life, de novo, on our own.

And that's tricky, because the origin of life is one of those contentious theories where the truth of what happened here on Earth will never be fully known. Instead, people like Lee Cronin are going to have to build devices in the laboratory that allow them to create organisms capable of undergoing generational selection... but even then, will we have truly answered the question of what happened way back when? Likely not, but as the conversation with Professor Cronin shows, we'll at least have a stellar definition of life from the process that can be used consistently to search the cosmos.

Is Earth's crustal formation influenced by its position in the galaxy? And how would we know? It's obvious there are many celestial cycles, from the earthly ones that Milankovitch described to the orbit of the solar system through the galaxy, but how can we tie those to geological planetary cycles, like the 800 m.y. resonance of the core, the 500-300 m.y. supercontinent cycle, and the ~ 30 m.y. impact cycle? Professor Chris Kirkland and team from Australia's Curtin University have developed a zircon-based approach that they say can tease apart the cyclic secrets of crust formation. We talk radiometric dating, limits and benefits of the technique, asymptotic time horizons, and the difficulties of doing geology on a galactic scale.

Untold numbers of people across North America have been caught up in the wake of the opioid crisis - loved ones lost, lives interrupted, cities overrun with addicts. This tableau has unfolded in countless cities, against the faraway backdrop of an underworld drug empire that terrorizes the people of Mexico. Author Sam Quinones has spent the last decade of his life on both sides of the border, reporting from the front lines. He's traced the origin of the crisis, detailed the toll it took on the government of Mexico, the people living there, and how unlimited quantities magic pain pills erased an entire generation, with no regard for social or class lines. What makes this conversation unique is that, despite the darkness he's seen, Quinones has finally found a glimmer of hope among the wreckage. We talk destruction, absolution, and rebirth. We talk of the drug wars, of the way that wall street colluded to make the crisis, and how we all played a role. But more than that, we talk about the way that we can pull ourselves out of this mess, by taking a lesson from the cities where the crisis really started.

Astronomer, Dr. Steven Finkelstein, joins us for the third week of astro/cosmo discussions centered around the new James Webb (JWST) data. Dr. Finkelstein captured some of the first images of our most distant known galaxies. In this episode we discuss how the data is compiled and processed and how small changes in these pipelines can alter distance estimates by orders of magnitude. We also discuss tired light and the usual explorations of paradigm shifts in science.

This is the second installment of three episodes this month in the astro/cosmo department at DemystifySci. This is John Moffat, Cambridge cosmologist and out-of-the-box mathematical physicist. Dr. Moffat is working on various modified gravity regimes to make sense of the latest James Webb data, which suggests Galaxies were fully formed just a couple hundred million years after the Bang. We discuss the possibility that we are witnessing modern renditions of the classical Ptolemaic epicycles as mathematicians scramble to patch up the standard models.

A rockin' conversation with Professor Batygin about his perspectives on modern cosmology, how paradigms shift, and what the field looks like at the very horizon. We want to know - what are the roads to forming new planets? What about stars? What about heavy elements? This is another piece of the "why is this happening" puzzle, where we attempt to understand how and why certain ideas in science appear unchallengeable, in service of slowly helping the paradigm shift. A HUGE thanks to all our new patrons this month, and for everyone that's been with us since the very beginning. We love that you help us keep this project growing, and are excited for the future.

Why are there electric anomalies at so many ancient structures? Why do structures built outside the classical periods of complex civilizations fail to display the same anomalies? Why do seeds taken to the top of a Mayan pyramid germinate faster than those left behind in the hotel room? Why are so many ancient buildings built with telluric currents and ley lines in mind? These are just some of the questions that Cliff Dunning of Earth Ancients Radio helps us deal with in our attempt to understand a simple question: are modern humans really the first technologically advanced civilization to grace the face of the Earth?

We take for granted today that public health systems around the world have the capacity to trace the progression of outbreaks, to determine how cancer clusters are linked to environmental effects, how dirty water causes outbreaks of transmissible illnesses... but where did all this knowledge come from? Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't from John Snow's identifying the origin of the Cholera epidemic as the pump on Broad Street. No, John Snow was using techniques that were passed to him fully formed. The real source of epidemiological tools lies in the brutal and bloody arc of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, a finding that shocked Gettysburg College history professor Jim Downs when he found it buried in the dusty archives from which his research is sourced.

His psych lab at Johns Hopkins focuses on behavioral modification in the wake of psilocybin, salvia, DMT, and other psychedelic therapies. On this week's episode, Dr. Johnson waxes wild on escaped patients, CIA mind control, and the myriad hijinks and challenges associated with drugging patients in a laboratory. Can psychedelics be harnessed in a clinical setting or will they always require a more wild setting?

Edo Kaal believes that it would be more useful to think about the atomic nucleus in terms of architecture rather than abstract mathematics. His Structured Atom Model (SAM) addresses the material basis of whether or not an element is radioactive, how the isotopes differ from one another, how instability occurs for large elements after lead, why alpha decay occurs, and much, much more. We ask the obvious questions to try to understand the model better.

Miles below our feet is a dark world of filled with creatures for whom we have no context, and who far outnumber those who bask in the light of the planet's surface. Who lives down there? How will they rewrite the book of biology? Are we ready for what we'll find in the depths?

We talk origin of life, bacteria that AIRWAVES is a new audio-only series from DemystifySci where we explore topics that don't yet fit into the dialogues we're releasing here every week. Let us know what you think and which of these paths we should explore even farther.

We've all heard the popular theories explaining the clockwork cycle of glaciations that generally boil down to a series of overlapping eccentricities in the Earths' solar exposure. These Milankovitch cycles still don't entirely satisfy our need to explain the bistability of the system: what causes the Earth to regularly jump from glacial to interglacial over the course of a few tens to hundreds of years? Lance Weaver from Utah State Geology suggests the hypothesis that a true polar wander would neatly fill in the blanks, whereby some variety of mass imbalance would cause a true pole shift event that snapped the axis of the Earth between two stable barycenters. It would certainly explain why the periodic glaciers seem to be centered directly over Greenland instead of the North Pole.

Philosopher and transhumanist David Pearce believes that this is an inevitable step in human development, and that we must turn our attention to the most noble cause imaginable - the alleviation of unnecessary suffering. But just because we can, does that mean we should?

Physicists have been seeking a grand unifying theory for as long as they've known that the very large and the very small don't properly fit into Newton's equations. Wal Thornhill, the Chief Advisor for the Thunderbolts Project, has spent his life working on an electrical solution to this problem, and is here to give an overview of what he's found. We start with how, as a young man, he was inspired by the work of Immanuel Velikovsky, we get him to sketch out the foundational concepts for how everything can be described through the lens of electricity, and talk about resistance in the sciences to truly radical ideas.

Well, even after decades of experimentation, no one had managed to boot up consciousness from inanimate objects. Donald Hoffman, professor of cognitive neuroscience at UC Irvine, thinks this is because the very premise upon which most consciousness research is based, that the material world comes first and consciousness emerges from it later, is flawed. Instead, he takes a mathematical approach inspired by the work of people like Nima Arkhani-Hamed to show that consciousness had to come first. That is, awareness does not emerge from the material world. Instead, it comes from beyond the world we know.

What is the dividing line between the feeling of sitting in a fluorescently lit cubicle vs flying down the Gold Coast, sea foam in your hair and music in your ears? Obviously almost everything, but where is the root of the subjective emotional experience, the qualia, come from? Andrés Gómez Emilsson, director of research at the Qualia Research Institute, suggests that it lives in the harmonic patterns of the brain. Enjoyable experiences can be understood as consonant resonances, negative ones as dissonant, disorganized ones. He and his colleagues are working on a mathematical model of experience - both the mundane and the transcendent, as they are informed in their work by the hyperbolic geometry of DMT and other psychedelic substances. The goal, at the end of the day, is to create a functional map of human experience so complete that it can help eliminate unnecessary suffering.

Berkeley professor Gibor Basri studies brown dwarves - cool objects that are not quite planets, not quite stars. But before we could get to the strange phenomena of these deuterium and lithium fuses, we have to cover some basics. How do you tell the difference between a planet and a star? Is it thief formation, their location, or something else entirely? The answer is fuzzier than you would expect - and requires us to take a trip into the dark, cool reaches of our galaxy, where stars and planets alike are being formed in the safety of the nebular nurseries hidden in the dark arms of our pinwheel Milky Way. There we discover that star formation, often spoken of as an exclusively gravitational process, is midwifed by chemistry, electricity, and magnetism. Come explore what happens in the dark, cold reaches of space, and how the darkness gives rise to light. #astronomy #astrophysics #paradigmshift

What do ice ages, geology, crust shifts and super ancient civilizations have to do with each other? Well, when taken together, they tell the story of much, much longer timeline of technologically advanced humans. Our episode this week is with engineer and archeological researcher Mario Buildreps, who after years of research into the architecture of ancient cities, found something very strange. No matter where he looked, the northern face of ancient buildings was pointed towards Greenland. As he looked deeper and deeper into his dataset of great circle orientations, he realized something even weirder - the intersections of these structures clustered into five nodes. By correlating his findings with data from the Vostok ice sheet, the age of the ocean floor, and the layout of tectonic boundaries, he stumbled on an extraordinary theory. Not only were these structures much older than we realized - maybe ten times as old - but they told a completely new story of the geologic history of the Earth.

Too often we encounter science with the mindset that everything has been figured out, that the big challenges are all behind us, and that the last thing to do is to dot some i's and cross some t's. Not so, says NASA's Dr. Michelle Thaller, who sees the story of star birth, life, and death as an unfinished puzzle. We talk about the angular momentum paradox, the pitfalls of steady-state astronomy, and an integrated future, where gravity is just one force among many that creates the celestial sky.

How do you explain a gold chain pulled from a 300 million year old lump of coal, a perfectly crafted brass bell pulled from a mine in the Appalachians, delicately inscribed stone obelisks found deep in gold mines, hammers embedded in impossibly ancient rock? Archaeology can't... which is why most researchers disregard these findings in order to maintain a 300,000-year-old timeline for modern humans. But Michael Cremo is not your typical archaeologist, and he isn't willing to ignore the compelling evidence for a much stranger, deeper history of human emergence. Join us as we explore the world of forbidden archaeology and establish an alternative theory for human emergence.

We normally think of planets as inanimate balls of nickel and silicon, animated by the molten rumbling of the inner core. How does our world change when someone like NASA’s David Grinspoon reveals that planets are actually powerful beings? It requires zooming out from our own experience, lived in the narrow corridors of the human scale. It requires us to think on the galactic scale, to entertain ideas of living beings that operate in ways we can barely imagine. But imagine we do! We talk about the ways in which the wild creatures Earth live and breathe as a single organism, the role of humans in this interconnected world, and how Earth - and maybe all planets - come to be powerful, intelligent beings. This conversation is based on work that Grinspoon did with Dr. Sarah Walker and Dr. Adam Frank on Planetary Intelligence, check out their paper here: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/international-journal-of-astrobiology/article/intelligence-as-a-planetary-scale-process/5077C784D7FAC55F96072F7A7772C5E5

There are three steps to mass formation psychosis, and signs point to the fact that we are living through the very last stage. In this week's conversation, Ghent University's Dr. Mattias Desmet, lays out his psychological theory of how entire societies go insane and fall prey to totalitarianism. What are the conditions that bind people into collectives rather than communities? What causes a woman to hang her own child? Most importantly, we finish on a ray of optimism - about how to balance on the knife's edge of chaos and come out whole on the other side.

Did an Alien Craft crash into the Pacific Ocean near Papua New Guinea? Dr. Avi Loeb, Harvard University astronomer, certainly seems to think so. We have him on the show to talk about his potential discovery of a second interstellar object (following up on his earlier model for Oumuamua) and his mission to find the fragments that will settle the debate once and for all. We talk about what it takes to find an alien civilization, what that search may bring, and the path forward for astrophysics.

What makes the voice of god real? This is the question that has driven Tanya Luhrmann's research for the last twenty years. She has lived with witches, with christians, with zoroastrians, with psychologists, and finds the same pattern woven through the lives of believers: They have trained themselves to have a sensory experience of god. On the podcast we talk about where this ability comes from in the mind and how it changes the initiates. If you like this conversation, you might also like our talks with Brian McVeigh (https://youtu.be/z1-ivI6QgXQ) and Dan Smith (https://youtu.be/EqL3nkYNqGE) about Julian Jaynes' work on the bicameral mind.

What if plate tectonics isn't settled science? Consensus suggests Earth's crust has been going through relatively constant supercontinent cycles for as long as there has been a solid crust. There are all kinds of measurements and experiments that seem to confirm this observation - but there are whose who insist that the ancient history of the Earth is not what it seems. Rather than being formed as a molten ball of naked space goo, condensed from the sun's protoplanetary disk, it's possible that the Earth formed hot and gassy - like Jupiter, or the sizzling gas giants that Kepler is regularly finding in close solar orbits.

If that's possible - and our recent conversation with NASA's Don Pettit suggests there is a solid line of evidence here - how does that change our understanding of the Earth? Enter Dr. J. Marvin Herndon, who proposes the history of our planet is a history of decompression. In this episode of the DemystifySci podcast, he takes us through his theory and, along the way, explains everything from the composition of the inner core, to the generation of the magnetic field, to the reason that the surface of the Earth looks the way it does.

Supply chain collapse and food shortages are on everyone's mind these days. Is the answer to homestead, to prep, to drop out? Most likely not - it's nearly impossible to grow enough food in a small garden to sustain a family. But don't let the garden grow over quite yet - there's more to growing and getting your own food than survival. Tamar Haspel moved from NYC to the woods and was surprised to find that growing, gathering, and hunting brought her a lot more than food. We discuss how bringing our lives closer to the foods isn't about opting out - it's about community, integration, and growth. More details in her new book, To Boldly Grow.

Astronaut Donald Pettit champions a theory he developed while studying under Octave Levenspiel at Oregon State University. In short, it is apparent that large winged dinosaurs could not fly under today's atmospheric conditions. Pettit suggests that the solution to dino-flight is that the Earth's atmosphere was much thicker in the past, lending buoyancy to the giant animals while maintaining today's ratios of elemental composition. If this trend is extended long before the dinosaurs we end up with a hypothetical atmosphere as thick as Venus or even more. The theory then raises the question: what events caused the atmosphere to disappear?

Is competition really all there is? If you take the word of those who insist that natural selection is solely responsible for all of life on earth, then yes. The story goes that competition drives fitness, that maximizing fitness ensures survival, and that survival ensures your traits become fixed in the population. But that's not the whole story. On the other side of the competitive evolutionary coin, there is natural induction, a cooperative process that balances the competitive aspects of natural selection.

On this week's episode, Dr. Richard Watson uses the language of machine learning and artificial intelligence to make a compelling about how our understanding of evolution has misunderstood a key point: The success of individuals and groups depends on cooperation as much as it does on competition.

Today's conversation is all about what large-scale patterns in Nature can teach us about the individuals at the helm of decision making within those ensembles. Dr. Ted Pavlic trains AIs to detect these sorts of otherwise invisible interactions. The hope is that this approach, similar to that of Tuft's biologist Dr. Michael Levin, will allow for the remediation of large scale dysfunctions like cancer, neurological injury, or even large scale catastrophe's like stampedes.

What does the future of medicine look like? Precision, precision, precision. In the last few decades, neuroengineers have largely relied on optogenetics to achieve single neuron precision, but widespread application in the clinical setting has been hindered by the fact that to get the tech to work you have to have a light in the brain. Which is... invasive, to say the least. Enter magnetogenetics, the next generation of precision neuromedicine. By engineering cells that are responsive to external magnetic fields, researchers have started to demonstrate that not only is it theoretically possible to use magnetic fields to affect the behavior of neural circuits, it will likely be a practical technology in the clinical setting in the next few decades. We talk with neuroengineer Dr. Jacob Robinson about the work his lab is doing, the state of the field, and how to escape the generator function that creates technologies that rule us, rather than the other way around.

Dr. Michael Levin is a developmental and synthetic biologist best known for two things - the creation of xenobots - biological robots created from frog cells - and his ability to fine-tune the bodyplan of regenerating organisms with morphogenic bioelectric fields. He's speaks with us about the philosophical foundations of his work in regenerative medicine, which include intricate theories of cognition that assert the goal-seeking behavior associated with the "self" is apparent at all scales of life. His work serves as a proof-of-concept for this view of the world, as he has demonstrated it is much more effective to change how organisms grow and regenerate through the careful direction of this goal-seeking behavior, rather than through traditional biochemical methods. His rigorous attention to the philosophy of biology - which includes his forward-thinking definitions of terms like "self," "intelligence," and "cognition" - allows his ideas to jump from the page and into a reality filled with two-headed immortal worms and frog-skin xenobots.

A conversation with Forrest Bishop about the Pleistocene Murders - a whodunnit theory that seeks the cause of the megafaunal extinction that rocked the planet during the most recent period of glaciations - from 2.5 million years ago to about 10,000 years ago. While most theories - including a recent paper from Tel Aviv university point the finger at increasing populations of hungry humans, Forrest proposes that this ignores a crucial, global change that occurred over the course of the Pleistocene: a global decrease in carbon dioxide levels. In the Pleistocene Murders, he proposes that falling carbon dioxide levels led to the dominance of c4 plants - those who can flourish at relatively low partial pressures of CO2. This evolutionary advantage allowed grasslands to dominate the globe... which, in turn, led to a decrease in the caloric content of the trophic foundation of the world's ecosystems. It's an excellent story that binds together geology, chemistry, and biology... and even a little bit of spirit, as humans have an emergent role on the planet that we get to at the very end of the conversation

This is the second installment of a multipart series with famed electric heretic Ivor Catt. This time, he is here to tell us the story of the Catt question: where does the instantaneous negative charge on the bottom conductor of a simple circuit come from? A satisfying answer to the question would require us to rewire the common conception of how electrical current moves through a circuit, and so has occupied Ivor for decades. the conversation digs into Catt's question, the potential solution of Heaviside energy current, and the stodgy nature of academic science.

Today on the show we are speaking with Etienne Fortier Dubois about the problems with scientific publishing and what an ideal future might look like: One where science is freely shared amongst all thinkers, not merely those within a discipline, or those with the institutional power to pay for access. Etienne is presently working on a new journal called the JAWWS - the journal of actually well written science. His goal is to reformat high impact papers so that they can be understood by anyone with a basic undergraduate level comprehension of the material. A fairly low bar in a society like the united states where nearly half of the population has a college degree. Our conversation expands into alternatives to peer review - a recurring point of contention on the show among outsiders and academics alike.

This week’s episode is with Dr. Matthew Herron, professor of Evolutionary Biology at Georgia Tech university. He found us through a series of articles on our blog about the emergence of multicellularity, and joined us for an excellent conversation on the topic. Over the course of the hour we covered all kinds of topics, from what the biology of Volvocine algae can tell us about our own multicelled nature, to more philosophical subjects like the emergence of life on earth, the value of careful speculation, and the way that basic science encourages us to pursue pure curiosity, simply for the sake of knowing what’s possible.

This is the first of a multipart series with famed electric heretic Ivor Catt - pioneer of digital electronics and formulator of the infamous “Catt question” - an apparent contradiction in the fundamental laws of electromagnetism. Today, Ivor tells us about his first encounter with institutional censorship - a theme that he became increasingly familiar with during his years of arguing the Catt Question both in the literature and through ongoing and regular correspondences with leading academic physicists.

Today, we’re bringing you a conversation with Dr. Ian Hutchinson, professor of nuclear science and engineering at MIT’s plasma science and fusion center. In addition to him answering our questions about the very nature of that mysterious fourth state of matter, we also explored hurdles in fusion technology, pernicious problems of ideological anchoring in academic science, and the looming crisis of scientism. Our discussion was so wide-ranging that we absolutely must have Dr. Hutchinson back again! We’re particularly curious about his latest research on space weather and its impact on everyday life. Stay tuned for that one!

Dr. Harry Cliff is an LHCb particle physicist, Cavendish Fellow, and the writer of an excellent book about subatomic physics called “How to Make an Apple Pie From Scratch: In Search of the Recipe of Our Universe.” Our discussion today circled around the big question of: what exactly IS a subatomic particle? We also go deep into free will vs. determinism, how biology is only one part physics, and by the end of it, we had a much clearer picture of what it is that physicists actually mean when they speak of “fields,” “particles,” and “entanglement.” Support the podcast by becoming a Patron @DemystifySci

How can you be human - enjoy a movie, dance, or story - without going under at least a little bit now and then? To be human is to be hypnotized. In this episode, we explore the nature of hypnotism not just in humans but also in your more distant relatives. Why did organisms evolve this strange behavior, anyways? Don’t forget to check out the full interview with hypnotist Kevin Stone all about the role of hypnosis in society at large.

The Modern Creation Myth: At the start of the 20th century, mathematical physics, inspired by a series of instrumental discoveries in astrophysics, attempted to formulate an answer to the question of how the universe came to be. The resulting creation story, the big bang, was hailed as a triumph of reason and cosmic understanding. But was it really something new, or was it just a new version of the oldest myth known to humanity?

The tragedy of the commons is a frequent excuse for the often ill effects of efficient corporate industry. Curbing bad behavior can seem impossible - so we look to see how biology beats cheaters throughout the natural world. In the process, mother nature schools us in corporate accountability. Fortunately, cheaters don't seem to win in the long run!

Some species are boom and bust - but for others, life after growth is a more steady affair. What will it be for humans?

If the past informs the future, a tragic tomorrow can seem inevitable: famine, war, disease, and destruction threaten to unfold at the end of every path. Escaping the past has meant maintaining physical and economic growth, but this leads to another set of worries:  Does all this expansion doom humans to the boom and bust fate that awaits all exponential creatures? It might. But what if an endless cycle between growth and death is just one of many possible evolutionary strategies? This is the story of the meanwhile creatures, exponential growers who thrive and persist long after growth is done.

The strangeness of ordered water: Water is usually seen as a solvent, the background against which the reactions of life play out. But sometimes, water can form nearly invisible, orderly structures at cellular surfaces. Structures that are strong enough to govern biological behaviors - yet are always on the verge of falling into chaos and allowing something new to grow. This biphasic process of stability and renewal can be seen as a metaphor for larger patterns in nature, and even in humans, where social interfaces shape culture in unseen ways.

Did you think the world's richest entities were governments? Think again! 71 of the richest 100 organizations are corporations, not countries. Is a high-tech version of the old-tech company town in store for humans? This week is all about trying to answer what seems like a simple question - would you want to live in a town that's run by the government, or one that's run by a bright and shiny high-tech giant?

Cyber-security expert Herb Lin joins us to talk about what that world might look like, and also sheds some light on what a corporate internet means for dwindling freedoms on the internet, the price that humans have to pay in return for security, and the difficulty of establishing consistent, robust standards for something as complex as the internet. In return for security, humans of the future might find themselves living in the tech generation’s version of a company town.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, we all know that. But Dr. Christopher French, professor of Anomalistic Psychology at the University of London, might know it more than the rest of us - he’s spent his career in pursuit of tangible evidence for all kinds of paranormal beliefs. Extrasensory perception, telepathy, dowsing - and has come up with little proof that these phenomena occur - but has not lost the skeptical spark that leaves all possibilities on the table.

Along the way, he became interested in the question of cognition - how do people come to believe in magical phenomena? Did they feel the appeal of motivated reasoning, or did it take them by surprise? Proof and disproof don’t seem to have much of an effect in this world of metaphysical beliefs, since cognition doesn’t depend on facts - it’s much more about emotions, tribal associations, and the way that humans want the world to be, rather than how it is.

Medical mystery Wim Hof has put his body to the test, and the science is in: belief is really good for you. Especially if you learn to use the power of your mind (and lungs) to control your immune system. But what’s going on? How is it that your mind, a part of you that doesn’t even seem to have a physical location, shapes reality? How can thoughts have such a huge influence on everything from your immune system, to how likely you are to die in the next decade?

Join us as we sit down with University of Radboud Immunologist Matthijs Kox and figure out the ways in which the mind affects medical outcomes, and why training yourself to overcome what the brain and body want can mean the difference between success and tragedy.

There are two opposing forces that steer the course of consensus science - quality of thought on one hand, and narrative control on the other. When you’re pushing the limits of human technological ability, should you be worried that modern science is about power? This is a conversation with Jeremy Rys, @Alienscientist on YouTube, about what happens when you hang out on the cutting edge of engineering outside the institutions.

Jeremy has grown a community centered around doing just that - and has started a lab that builds and tests various propulsion prototypes to see what gems may have fallen through the cracks of history. Extreme patience rewards the seeker, for even the most far-out ideas will produce the occasional pearl of wisdom. If researchers on the cutting edge dismissed everything ever labeled as “pseudoscience,” maps of the universe would probably still have Earth at their center.

Propaganda, strongmen, and authoritarianism are mainstays across the authoritarian-liberatrian boundary, marked by a lack of democratic and free elections, a codified hostility towards threat to the social order, a lack of accountability, and religious party loyalism. ªº¬˚∆≤≥≤≥ Join the mailing list http://eepurl.com/gRUCZL​ ≤≥≤≥∆˚¬ºª

Widespread lockdowns have triggered fears that the world is taking a turn towards authoritarian rule, a government system that’s marked by a lack of democratic and free elections, a codified hostility towards threat to the social order, a lack of accountability, and party loyalists at every turn.

The 20th century despots were very effective at playing on endemic frustrations during long periods of economic hardships. Hitler came to power during the interwar period where Germany was dealing with extreme social instability following reparation-driven hyperinflation. A damaged information ecology, where levels of mistrust and conspiratorial thinking go through the roof, reinforces a want to be ruled by someone who promises answers. They want an economic and social liferaft, not nuance.

Living in fear causes a cascading reaction that activates the fight-or-flight response at a constant level, which means that people’s brains actually change - we lose our ability to make well-reasoned, emotionally discharged decisions. Instead, everything becomes reactive, a panicked stormy attempt to get out ahead of the problem that they can’t get a clear perspective on.

Despite the novelty of your democratic experiment, it seems possible that you humans will live to improve it. Political tolerance is one way of finding your way to strength. There has to be an open exchange of ideas and interpretations. If you find that there are voices being silenced, you must fight to make room for their careful, public analysis, lest your satisfaction at their absence be the weakness in your armor.

Environmentalism, equality, gun laws, lockdowns, these are all areas where people are interested in doing the RIGHT thing, but end up with very different ideas of what that looks like. ªº¬˚∆≤≥≤≥ Join the mailing list http://eepurl.com/gRUCZL​ ≤≥≤≥∆˚¬ºª

Though it might not look like it on the surface, most of the problems in the human world today are all about how to tell the difference between wrong and right - but most people don’t spend a ton of time trying to figure out if their definitions of those words make sense.

What happens is that a lot of people, when they start to think about the difference between right and wrong, conflate legality and morality. It’s a reasonable confusion - there have been thousands of years of empire on Earth, all of which have asserted that rules about good and bad behavior originate from a supernatural authority, rather than from the individual. But in the modern democratic age, it doesn’t make much sense to look to laws for moral guidance when you’re the ones expected to build the laws of the future.

In the absence of a trustworthy top-down source - whether that’s an institution, God, or nature itself - individuals have to take on the heavy mantle of moral reasoning for themselves. It can be hard, in an atomized isolating world to make sense of this responsibility. The Western world is one of the most permissive societies in the history of your species and it might feel impossible to establish the difference between right and wrong.

In building a moral framework, you really have to look out for motivated reasoning, which means that if you reeeeeaaaally want to do something, it’s going to be really easy to convince yourself that it’s morally okay. That’s because reason is a post-hoc justification that animals generally give to their actions after the fact. As David Hume, one of Kant’s contemporaries argued, reason is slave to the passions.

Remember, the ethical and legal system in which you live right now isn’t the best version of the world - it’s just the latest greatest adaptation in the aftermath of the church, the rise of reason and nation, and the emergence of the individual. What comes next, humans?

Empiricism as the dominant way of knowing the world optimized technological progress, but also alienated humans because it often avoids the spiritual, motivational realm of biology beyond atoms crashing into one another.

**ªº¬˚∆≤≥≤≥ Join the mailing list http://eepurl.com/gRUCZL

≤≥≤≥∆˚¬ºª**

When it comes to Human science these days, all explanations eventually come back to physics. And while the mathematical convolutions of quantum theory and fluid dynamics can make humans better engineers, physics alone can’t address the emergent properties of biology: Why do you want what you want? Where does the human capacity for transcendent experience come from? What is religion, and why has it been so central to all of human history?

One possible explanation is that many phenomena cannot be reduced to pure physical mechanics. Birth, death, will, meaning, and love can’t be totally encompassed by a volumetric description of atoms drifting between synapses… which suggests that physicalist science can’t possibly yield answers to all of life’s questions. This doesn’t discount the contribution of a materialist worldview to humans’ technological development, but it does suggest a more integrated perspective is necessary.

**Problem is, even with your ability to smash atoms together and your impressive technological advancements, you humans are no closer to answering the question of how to get along, or how to avoid cyclic social unrest… and perhaps it’s time to consider that the kind of science that will actually be able to deal with these questions will have to integrate the deep history of spirituality throughout your species’ Earthly history.

All of us animals live in a world that is impure and imperfect, and each of us must rise above that stain on a daily basis in order to keep from descending into an impenetrable darkness. Finding a language to scientifically address the transcendent might be the only way to find your way back to forgiving yourselves.**

Why would governments and corporations alike be interested in destabilizing society?

Well, it depends on who’s responsible. A state like China, Russia, or Saudia Arabia might be interested in seeing the United States self-immolate to clear the way for their agendas on a global scale. Remember, Rome fell to civil war before being conquered from beyond its walls.

**Then there's transnational and domestic actors, who can take many different forms: everyone from coal to big tech is very, very concerned with controlling public narratives. Why? To out-compete one another!

Bad actors to weaponize pessimism by creating exhaustion in the face of global problems. This can decrease voter turnout, decimate political organizing, and can ensure the status quo keeps purring along unchallenged.

These days, the biggest threat hanging over conflicting people’s heads isn’t mutually assured destruction by way of nuclear warheads - it’s an online battle for the heart and soul of the global populace.**

This is neurohacking at it’s finest - no need to buy anything, pay for courses, or even leave your house. If you’ve cleaned your room and made your bed, embracing the cold is the next step for building the iron discipline that’s absolutely necessary in your quest to make the world a better place.

In the interview that follows this episode we talk at length with Dr. Vaibhav Diwadkar, Wayne State neuropsychiatrist who’s been mapping the deep-brain changes that happen during meditation, deep breathing, and exposure to cold. It doesn’t happen overnight, but it looks like regularly overcoming your emotional aversion to unpleasant tasks can actually change the way you react to everything else that life throws at you.

Earth’s online evolution - Technological explosions weather spiritual implosions...

::!!:: Join the Demystifying Science mailing list ::!!:: http://eepurl.com/gRUCZL::!!::

Like all ecosystems, the community that’s emerged on the internet requires a diversity of species to be optimally functional - and that threatened by the big tech monoculture emerging on Earth these days. To figure out what’s going on, we go back to the 1960s when it all started, and trace the explosion of online existence since then. Our conversation with Evan Bailyn, a 17-year veteran of getting websites to the front page of Google, considers what exactly the future of the internet might look like. His experience with the inner workings of the search behemoth leads us to a fascinating conversation about the things you won’t find on Google, the strange nature of niche radicalization, and what - if anything - is going to replace the big three that dominate the online world today.

UCB biologist, Dr. Daniel Pauly on what breaks a scientific argument, the fate of your future seafood, and the limits of controlling one’s environment.

This conversation with Dr. Pauly, spanned many topics - ecology, how change is simultaneously difficult yet necessary, the political situation on Earth, and the strange nature of the human animal. Somewhere in there, we even tried to reckon with the non-material aspects of biology, and how futile it is to treat humans as nothing more than a stack of inanimate atoms. But more than anything else, the trio circled around the tricky question of starting points in science. How can we navigate to an explanation, if we aren’t sure of the phenomenon itself? Take, for example, the Earth’s focus on the causal relationship between man-made CO2 and global temperatures. This assumption about carbon dioxide then leads scientists to the conclusion that reducing its emission will ultimately stabilize the climate. But what if Earthlings have made a mistake, and managing CO2 is a necessary - rather than sufficient condition, for maintaining the wellbeing of the planet? What if there are other, equally insidious threats to humans and their habitat, like pesticides, industrial waste, single-use plastics, or overconsumption? Currently, the conversation about carbon dioxide is totalizing, with only one correct answer - that industrial interventions are necessary to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and that the planet’s climate must be stabilized and prevented from further change. This is one of those cases where getting where you want to go, rather than just getting somewhere, requires more than a mastery of logic. It also requires a careful evaluation of that first assumption - much like navigating by the north star requires actually knowing the north star. When our ability to correctly estimate a reliable starting point is compromised - either by time, politics, or belief - it becomes almost impossible to reach a robust conclusion about anything - whether it’s orienteering, the fate of the climate, or what to have for breakfast. In the case of science, the systematic process by which we understand material existence, our conclusions can only be sturdy only if we start by considering all of the possibilities. If one refuses to consider a possibility because it complicates a political message or undermines a belief system, no amount of logic can lead to understanding.

Dr. Milton Love on what he’s learned on his voyages into the unexplored depths of the deep, blue Pacific Ocean.

::!!:: Join the Demystifying Science mailing list ::!!:: http://eepurl.com/gRUCZL ::!!::

Milton - only his closest associates call him Dr. Love - has carried on an affair with the sea for most of his life. Unlike most love affairs, though, this one included nearly 15 years at 1,200’ below the surface of the waves in the Delta - a two person submarine. Though the Delta is long gone, converted to more flowerpot and less research facility, Milton is still hard at work. In addition to writing massive tomes with names like “Certainly More Than You Want to Know About Fishes of the Pacific Coast,” he’s published widely in his field, in popular magazine and, sometimes, he even does an experiment or two.

Our conversation with him ranged from the role of observation versus theory in science, to how to be comfortable with uncertainty, to how true expertise requires constant revision. At the very end, he wraps it up succinctly:

“A sustainable human future requires deep abiding respect for the oceans. Nature has an unlimited number of ways to end you or any lifeform.”

Micky & Quinn meet up with Dr. Brian McVeigh, an anthropologist and mental health counselor, who was once a student of Dr. Julian Jaynes. Jaynes developed the Theory of the Bicameral mind, which seeks to explain the evolution of conscious introspection in humanity. In other words, how did humans come to have a perception of themselves that could be abstracted - the I of the present, and the “me” of future action, cognition, and planning?

Jaynes’ proposed that this shift happened as a result of the bronze age collapse of around 1200 BCE. Prior to this event, he suggests that humans experienced thought as auditory hallucinations, theophanies, which were assumed to be of divine provenience.

In this perspective, ancient human thoughts were understood as the voice of Gods, which regularly appeared to people and helped them navigate decision making.When the bronze-age civilizations of the middle east ended, a new mentality emerged from the wreckage - a unicameral perspective where those voices were integrated into the Self. In this way, the voice that seems to create ideas and inspiration from thin air went from being the word of God to simply being a thought that belonged to the individual.

In his recent work, “The Psychology of the Bible: explaining divine voices and visions”

Dr. McVeigh adds a biblical hypothesis to the Jaynsian picture. He compares the wording in different chapters of the bible, written at different time periods, to illustrate how the voice of god receded from society over time.

**We also talked about the future evolution of consciousness in Humans and other animals on Earth, and how the destabilizing effect of an overwhelming information stream might precipitate radical adaptations - much like the Bronze Age Collapse did.

Hallucinations as an automatic signifier of mental illness is a surprisingly recent paradigm. Traditionally, hearing non-corporeal voices was viewed as a supernatural event, the realm of religious prophets, ecstatic poets, and inspired painters. In those circumstances, hearing voices was viewed through the lens of divine inspiration, indicative of an active relationship with the metaphysical. Today, auditory hallucinations are often sensationalized into a non-normative pathology, a situation where the response to even a mildest case is often tinged with fear - of violence, of contagion, of impurity. In these conditions, the deep, spiritual significance of the event is devalued, the meaning erased. Our guest today, the writer and scholar Daniel Smith, is here to talk about the ideas in his book – Muses, Madmen, and Prophets: Hearing Voices and The Borders of Sanity. The book is an exploration of the dual nature of hallucinations, heavily inspired by the Bicameral Mind Theory of Julian Jaynes. Centered, also, is Smith's own experience - while his father lived “terrorized by the thought of what might happen if he revealed his voices,” his grandfather consulted his for "picking horses at the track and beating retirees at gin rummy." Our conversation with Mr. Smith runs the gamut. We explore non-normative conscious experience, moral choice, optimism vs. pessimism, and the prevalence of loneliness in the modern milieu, and the evolutionary role that auditory hallucinations might still play.

What if the day comes that humans need to make massive, intentional changes to the earth in order to ensure the survival of the species? Perhaps the solar radiation from the sun increases, or the orbits of the planets shift, or greenhouse gases accumulate to fatal levels. These changes could result in the kind of intense warming that happened during the cretaceous, when palm frond and freshwater ferns dominated the polar landscapes. According to some, the best strategy for avoiding this kind of cataclysmic change is to, quite literally, block out the sun. It sounds risky, pre-apocalyptic, and almost hubristic. Who are these humans who think on a planetary scale, and refuse to turn away from the challenge of engineering the atmosphere? Our guest today, Harvard professor Dr. David Keith, is an illustrative example of the field. While he studies what sorts of interventions could be used to turn down the intensity of incident solar radiation, in the next breath he’ll be the first to suggest that perhaps spraying sulfuric acid, aluminum, titanium, or diamond dust into the atmosphere isn’t a very good idea. Our conversation covers all aspects of solar geoengineering. The state of the field, the incentives for developing systems that can change global climates, the likelihood of private actors taking matters into their own hands, and much more.

A conspiracy is defined by shadowy actors acting in secret to do bad things, and is an unfortunate consequence of geopolitics. Conspiracy theories, on the other hand, are ways of explaining reality that lean heavily on this kind of behind-the-scenes cabal as a mechanism for just about everything. They’re often marred by a lack of evidence, or over-extension of evidence, despite the fervent belief of their adherents. Sometimes conspiracy theories prove out over time, however: CIA mind-control, government assassinations, pretexts for foreign wars, human experimentation, etc..

Humans appear to be living through a golden age of conspiracy theories, with alternative explanations available for everything from wars, to weather, to gun control, to the Beatles. Despite the shaky foundations of many of these theories, our guest Mick West has found that they often have extraordinary staying power. Mick started talking to conspiracy theorists when he encountered the idea of chemtrails while studying for his pilot’s license. He figured a well-placed scientific presentation would lay the matter to rest - but ten years on, he’s still at it. He’s since expanded his topic-set to Q-anon, UFOs, and started several websites dedicated to conspiracy-debunking. Our conversation ultimately sought means of productively discussing alternatives to established narratives. Subscribe & like so we can keep bringing the best conversations!!!

When the world seems like it’s moving too fast for comfort, how do you make decisions? Is it a random walk towards an uncertain future? Is it fear based? Is it by gradually whittling down the set of possibilities to the absolute best option, given what you know now? Is it based on some prediction of what the future might hold? Chances are, it’s a mixture of all of the above, given the circumstances in which you’re making the choice. Our conversation with L.A Paul, a professor of philosophy and cognitive science at Yale University explores the ways in which humans come to make up their minds when facing high-stakes transformative hurdles. She also thinks a lot about the effect that those decisions have on our existence in general. We consider what it means to choose while embracing uncertainty - and how our relationship to this discomfort can be tempered by a deeper understanding of the ways that rationality and morality overlap.

The future does not happen on it’s own - it is born of the narrative that humans create for themselves. Historically, this has been the domain of science fiction authors and filmmakers like Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and Gene Rodenberry. However, in recent years, fantasies about potential human futures have become much more democratic. For this week’s episode we talk to Isaac Arthur, a futurist who has spent the last eight years thinking, studying, writing and making media about the future.

On his YouTube channel, Science and Futurism with Isaac Arthur, he presentes detailed analyses of the past in order to get a better understanding of what the future holds. He brings a unique optimism to the discussion of what will come on Earth and beyond, what works and what doesn’t in democracy, and the best ways for humans to tinker with their institutions.

Our conversation explores these ideas but also examines the effects of increased population density, heightened information connectivity, and interplanetary travel on human civilization.

Is blockchain going to be the technology that changes everything? Will it help us trust again? Will it revolutionize the relationship of people to their government? David Robison, cryptocurrency trader and blockchain enthusiast, suggests that it can be used to secure elections, supply chains, and the means of production. He believes in the potential of blockchain to such a degree that he recently renounced his US citizenship and moved to Fort Galt, a libertarian community in Southern Chile where crypto is king. We start our conversation with the basics - what is blockchain, bitcoin, and cryptocurrency? What can these technologies do for a society? We talk about the hurdles to blockchain implementation, and explore the persistent utility of fiat currency, the accelerating necessity for global stewardship, and the perception of democracy abroad.

The hallmark of a strong stable civilization is the extirpation of extreme poverty. Many countries have realized this and implemented small-scale universal basic income (UBI) plans as a safety net for individuals or families suffering unexpected setbacks. Dr. Jim Pugh, a UBI activist and co-founder of the Universal Income Project, believes that supporting the most impoverished populations is how we can build a more humane, ethical society.

Critics of UBI suggest that granting everyone - and we mean everyone - a guaranteed stipend would be harmful to the economy and for the 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' mentality that is prevalent in individualistic societies. This hasn't been the case in UBI pilot programs. While there is some minor decrease in amount of time spent working a job, much of that time is spent on skill acquisition and education that provides for future economic advantages.

Our conversation also investigates the remodeling of political structures, the differences between the U.S. and parliamentary republics, and the role of unpaid work such as child-rearing.

From Dr. Jean Masterson's perspective, establishing humans as an off-world species makes a lot of sense. During these tumultuous times, it seems like a clear path toward international and interpersonal collaboration; it seems like it could serve the species on multiple social, physical and spiritual levels. But as someone who designs life support systems for interplanetary and extraterrestrial travel at Paragon Space Corporation, she's quick to point out that actually surviving in the inky expanse of outer space is an enormous challenge. We talk about long-term radiation exposure, closed-loop resource systems and the difficulty of sustaining ecosystems in isolation. In addition to the technical details of survival in space, we delve into the role of science-fiction as inspiration for engineering, biological adaptation of humans to alien lands, and the quick and dirty promise of using poop as a radiation shield.

Dr. Kidd is a philosopher at the University of Nottingham, concerned with epistemological vices: fractures in the way that humans come to understand their world. One intriguing philosophical problem that Dr. Kidd has considered recently is the idea of misanthropy: the suspicion that humans have, on balance, done a lot of bad during their tenure on Earth. But misanthropy is not the same as selective hatreds of racism, sexism, or other supremacist ideologies. To the extent that a misanthropist harbors hatred, it is directed at humans as a whole. However, hateful, enemy-of-humanity type misanthropists are actually by far in the minority. Most misanthropists have real hope for improving their species. Our conversation investigates the applications and pitfalls of a misanthropic mindset, and also explores tangental ideas like animal morality, what separates humans as a species, and the evolutionary psychology of species-level suspicions.
