Alon describes earlier published studies demonstrating that human brain cells - derived from stem cells - integrated into a digital environment were able to receive signals and send responses, and within minutes learn to play the computer game, Pong (a paddle and ball game). The so-called human-computer hybrid is being taught to ‘read’ handwriting and play Doom, a more sophisticated computer game. Alon also describes how the hybrid has been used to compare the efficacy of anti-epileptic drugs. Referred to as synthetic biological intelligence, the system has been incorporated into a commercially available device.

  • L'Chaim - To Life S14 E3 (17-09-2025) with Dr Henry Theriault, Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, Dr Ron Wiser AM, Gareth Narunsky and Sharon Kuper
    Sep 17 2025
    The program is replayed Fridays between 2PM and 3PM on Melbourne’s 3ZZZ 92.3FM Title: Dr Henry Theriault – IAGS resolution on the genocide in Gaza: (GIGO) Garbage in, garbage out (*from 1:55 mins) Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Henry Theriault, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs at Worcester State University International, Founding Co-Editor, Genocide Studies International (University of Toronto Press) and Immediate Past President (2017-2021), International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) that with the recent passing of a IAGS resolution, made the false claim to the world that an overwhelming majority of genocide experts agreed that a genocide was taking place in Israel. Appearing to now be just another group of activists masquerading as scholars, the most egregious resolution accusing Israel of everything under the sun in order to allege genocide, the resolution was passed by just 20% of the IAGS membership, in anyone’s language a far cry from an overwhelming majority. After asking Henry for some background about the IAGS and for a definition of genocide, by-the-way the United Nations defined genocide in the Genocide Convention, focusing on the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious. Henry then very much declined to discuss the resolution in detail stating that he does not engage with genocide-deniers and abruptly terminated the interview. For further information and understanding about the IAGS and the depraved resolution about Israel, our listeners should listen to an interview with Sara Brown on the Israel Connexion with David Schulberg podcast at https://omny.fm/shows/israel-connexion/israel-accused-of-genocide. Sara Brown is a genocide scholar who has been a member of the International Association of Genocide Scholars since 2013 and is highly critical of the very biased resolution, the report that was the foundation for the resolution, along with the resolution process and the membership makeup of the IAGS. Title: Nitsana Darshan-Leitner – 5 Legal lies about Israel (*from 31:11 mins) Description: Are the accusations against Israel actually grounded in international law; or are they political weapons in disguise? In this powerful breakdown, Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, President of Shurat HaDin exposes the top 5 legal myths surrounding Israel’s actions in Gaza. Genocide? Land theft? Starving civilians? Listen to hear what international law really says. The truth matters. The facts matter. So why isn’t anyone telling you this?

She also talks about the apparent normalisation of antisemitism in our classrooms, with teachers claiming they have a right or mandate to push a strong, pro-Palestinian viewpoint on students as young as those of kindergarten age, without any repercussions.

This ignores strong evidence-based criticism from psychiatrists on the introduction at an early age of the idea of being transgender.
