    Feb 11 2025
    Futurist Calum Chace discusses Artificial Intelligence & the Future Of Work from his book, The Economic Singularity: Artificial intelligence and the death of capitalism". Artificial intelligence is overtaking our ability to absorb and process information, and its possible that within a few decades, most humans won't be competitive in the job market. All careers will be affected, making this the single most important development facing humanity in the near future. Universal Basic Income isn't the solution - we'll need an entirely new economic system, and we needs to start planning soon for the Economic Singularity! Calum Chace is a futurist and recognized subject matter expert in Artificial Intelligence. Calum has 30-years of career experience in business strategy, marketing and journalism working as a marketer, strategy consultant and CEO. He studied philosophy at Oxford University, and maintains his interest in business by serving as chairman and coach for growing companies.

  • Jeff Tarrant - The Telepathy Tapes & Beyond
    Feb 8 2025
    Do autistic children hold the key to understanding consciousness? Dr. Jeff Tarrant discusses The Telepathy Tapes & psychic phenomena, qEEG brain scanning, mediumship & meditation, the Noösphere & global consciousness. Dr. Jeff Tarrant has worked with non-verbal autistic children featured in the Telepathy Tapes podcast series, and shares his insights into the remarkable telepathic abilities described by Dianne Powell & Ky Dickens. We discuss his experience working with the children and speculate on the nature of non-linguistic processing in the brain and it's relationship to conscious abilities. Additionally, Dr. Tarrant describes over a decade of data-based research into remarkable human abilities, including his use of qEEG technology to measure brainwaves and identify the states of mind involved with reported abilities. Dr. Tarrant has conducted research on telepathy, ESP, psychokinesis, remote viewing, past-life readings, spirit art, energy healing, mediumship, and Qigong - and describes some of the most intriguing case-studies he's come across so far. Dr. Tarrant's story begins with the case of Janet Mayer, who began speaking in tongues - and after careful investigation, was found to be communicating in a South American tribal language she couldn't possibly have known. Where did she learn the language? Could that knowledge have come from the Noösphere, or through some form of mediumship? Is this kind of distant knowledge & communication similar to recent claims about people using psionics to communicate with NHI? Is it possible that a civilization from another star that’s millions of years more advanced than us may be using direct conscious communication, which could begin to validate the claims of NHI mediumship? Does this all connect to the Noösphere - or as some people call it, the "Akashic records"? Could those in fact be part of the shared consciousness in a global human superorganism, as part of a larger level of awareness we are connected with but not normally aware of? Are the unique results of the Global Consciousness Project a data-driven indicator that this collective consciousness exists, and can we use data-mining to better understand it? Dr. Jeff Tarrant is the founder and Director of Psychic Mind Science and the NeuroMeditation Institute in Eugene, OR. He is a licensed psychologist and board certified in neurofeedback, and specializes in teaching, clinical applications, and research combining technology- based interventions with meditative states for improved mental health. In addition, Dr. Tarrant has studied and taught the ancient practices of Qigong, mindfulness, and energy psychology for the past fifteen years. Dr. Tarrant’s research focuses on exploring brainwave changes that occur as a result of contemplative practices, induction of altered states, and energy psychology. He is a regular presenter at national and international conferences and has a private practice in Eugene, OR where he lives and plays. Dr. Tarrant’s exploration of psychics and mediums has been featured on the Dr. Oz show, in the Huffington Post, on Coast-to-Coast AM, in the New York bestselling book The Light Between Us by Laura Lynne Jackson, and in an upcoming 5-part docu-series. Dr. Tarrant’s clinical work includes Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy done in association with two separate physicians. He also offers a variety of technology-assisted interventions for nervous system balance.

  • Alessandro Fontana - Post-Singularity Scenarios
    Feb 5 2025
    Does DeepSeek point towards multiple future Singularities? Kurzweil predicts AGI by 2029 & the Technological Singularity by 2045, and Dr. Alessandro Fontana discusses five scenarios for a post-singularity world. Before we get into Post-Singularity scenarios, let’s talk about The Singularity itself: Ray Kurzweil has predicted the development of Artificial General Intelligence by 2029, leading to a technological singularity by 2045. In this interview, Dr. Fontana outlines possible futures based on "AI alignment", which aims to steer AI systems toward a person's or group's intended goals, preferences, or ethical principles. We also discuss the DeepSeek AI, which has reduced the cost of AI development and may result in a large number of AI & future AGI systems - thereby leading to the possibility of multiple Technological Singularities in disparate systems across the globe. Dr. Alessandro Fontana is an interdisciplinary engineer specialized in Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence and their growing mutual interactions. Dr. Fontana works in IT Security and Data Science at Bosch, and his diverse of interests includes psychology, helped him pioneer the field of Cybersecurity and AI at Bosch engineering. His career work also includes experience in Cybersecurity, including the development of a novel method for rendering neural networks more resilient to adversarial intrusions.

  • Jean-Christophe Spilmont - On The Edge Of Collapse
    Jan 27 2025
    Jean-Christophe Spilmont compares Orlov's analysis of the 5 stages of social collapse in the USSR to contemporary decline in US financial, commercial, political, social, and cultural institutions. Dmitry Orlov documented by 40% drop in GDP, a 50% increase in mortality rates, 40% decrease in birth rates, a poverty rate exceeding 50% of the population, and inflation of 2500% during the collapse of the Soviet Union. Today in the United States, homelessness, poverty, inflation, and our national debt have all increased dramatically. The value of the dollar is down 20% since 2020, and our national is up from $26 to $36 trillion during the same period of time. Are these warning signs of impending collapse, and if so, how soon? Is the United States on the edge of a catastrophic collapse like the Soviet Union, or are we in a prolonged period of social decline similar to the Roman Empire? The collapse of the USSR allowed rapid restructuring of the government and economy leading to the modern Russian Federation, whereas ancient Rome's decline led to centuries of social & economic hardship. What is the optimal scenario for the United States to minimize long-term hardship? Jean-Christophe Spilmont is a business strategist, futurist, and thought leader in digital transformation and strategic intelligence. Over the last two decades, he has assisted multi-billion dollar companies in their digital transitions, and he currently serves as the Global Head of Strategic & Industry Marketing at a large IT group in Europe and Global Head of Portfolio for its Big Data & Security Division. Jean-Christophe has an MBA in International Economy & Management from ESSEC, an executive MBA in Strategy & Competitive Intelligence from Ecole de Guerre Economique, a Masters in Biotechnology Engineering from ENSAIA, and studied in the Abundance Digital Executive Program at Singularity University.
