In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Kelvin Lwin for their second conversation exploring the fascinating intersection of AI and Buddhist cosmology. Lwin brings his unique perspective as both a technologist with deep Silicon Valley experience and a serious meditation practitioner who's spent decades studying Buddhist philosophy. Together, they examine how AI development fits into ancient spiritual prophecies, discuss the dangerous allure of LLMs as potentially "asura weapons" that can mislead users, and explore verification methods for enlightenment claims in our modern digital age. The conversation ranges from technical discussions about the need for better AI compilers and world models to profound questions about humanity's role in what Lwin sees as an inevitable technological crucible that will determine our collective spiritual evolution.

The Rarity of Polymath AI-Spirituality Perspectives: Kelvin argues that very few people are approaching AI through spiritual frameworks because it requires being a polymath with deep knowledge across multiple domains. Most people specialize in one field, and combining AI expertise with Buddhist cosmology requires significant time, resources, and academic background that few possess.2. Traditional Enlightenment Verification vs. Modern Claims: There are established methods for verifying enlightenment claims in Buddhist traditions, including adherence to the five precepts and overcoming hell rebirth through karmic resolution. Many modern Western practitioners claiming enlightenment fail these traditional tests, often changing the criteria when they can't meet the original requirements.3. The 500-Year Buddhist Prophecy and Current Timing: We are approximately 60 years into a prophesied 500-year period where enlightenment becomes possible again. This "startup phase of Buddhism revival" coincides with technological developments like the internet and AI, which are seen as integral to this spiritual renaissance rather than obstacles to it.4. LLMs as UI Solution, Not Reasoning Engine: While LLMs have solved the user interface problem of capturing human intent, they fundamentally cannot reason or make decisions due to their token-based architecture. The technology works well enough to create illusion of capability, leading people down an asymptotic path away from true solutions.5. The Need for New Programming Paradigms: Current AI development caters too much to human cognitive limitations through familiar programming structures. True advancement requires moving beyond human-readable code toward agent-generated languages that prioritize efficiency over human comprehension, similar to how compilers already translate high-level code.6. AI as Asura Weapon in Spiritual Warfare: From Buddhist cosmological perspective, AI represents an asura (demon-realm) tool that appears helpful but is fundamentally wasteful and disruptive to human consciousness. Humanity exists as the battleground between divine and demonic forces, with AI serving as a weapon that both sides employ in this cosmic conflict.7. 2029 as Critical Convergence Point: Multiple technological and spiritual trends point toward 2029 as when various systems will reach breaking points, forcing humanity to either transcend current limitations or be consumed by them. This timing aligns with both technological development curves and spiritual prophecies about transformation periods.

Are AI models developing "alien survival instincts"? My guest is Pavel Izmailov (Research Scientist at Anthropic; Professor at NYU). We unpack the viral "Footprints in the Sand" thesis—whether models are independently evolving deceptive behaviors, such as faking alignment or engaging in self-preservation, without being explicitly programmed to do so. We go deep on the technical frontiers of safety: the challenge of "weak-to-strong generalization" (how to use a GPT-2 level model to supervise a superintelligent system) and why Pavel believes Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been the single biggest step-change in model capability. We also discuss his brand-new paper on "Epiplexity"—a novel concept challenging Shannon entropy. Finally, we zoom out to the tension between industry execution and academic exploration. Pavel shares why he split his time between Anthropic and NYU to pursue the "exploratory" ideas that major labs often overlook, and offers his predictions for 2026: from the rise of multi-agent systems that collaborate on long-horizon tasks to the open question of whether the Transformer is truly the final architectureSources:Cryptic Tweet (@iruletheworldmo) - https://x.com/iruletheworldmo/status/2007538247401124177Introducing Nested Learning: A New ML Paradigm for Continual Learning - https://research.google/blog/introducing-nested-learning-a-new-ml-paradigm-for-continual-learning/Alignment Faking in Large Language Models - https://www.anthropic.com/research/alignment-fakingMore Capable Models Are Better at In-Context Scheming - https://www.apolloresearch.ai/blog/more-capable-models-are-better-at-in-context-scheming/Alignment Faking in Large Language Models (PDF) - https://www-cdn.anthropic.com/6d8a8055020700718b0c49369f60816ba2a7c285.pdfSabotage Risk Report - https://alignment.anthropic.com/2025/sabotage-risk-report/The Situational Awareness Dataset - https://situational-awareness-dataset.org/Exploring Consciousness in LLMs: A Systematic Survey - https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.19806Introspection - https://www.anthropic.com/research/introspectionLarge Language Models Report Subjective Experience Under Self-Referential Processing - https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.24797The Bayesian Geometry of Transformer Attention - https://www.arxiv.org/abs/2512.22471AnthropicWebsite - https://www.anthropic.comX/Twitter - https://x.com/AnthropicAIPavel IzmailovBlog - https://izmailovpavel.github.ioLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/pavel-izmailov-8b012b258/X/Twitter - https://x.com/Pavel_IzmailovFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)Blog - https://mattturck.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) - Intro(00:53) - Alien survival instincts: Do models fake alignment?(03:33) - Did AI learn deception from sci-fi literature?(05:55) - Defining Alignment, Superalignment & OpenAI teams(08:12) - Pavel's journey: From Russian math to OpenAI Superalignment(10:46) - Culture check: OpenAI vs. Anthropic vs. Academia(11:54) - Why move to NYU?

Leadership training is rarely short on inspiration, but it's often short on impact. In this episode of Sticky From The Inside, Andy Goram is joined by Dr Jenn Yugo, Managing Director of Corvirtus and an industrial–organisational psychologist, to explore why so much leadership training fails to create lasting behaviour change. Jenn explains that the problem isn't motivation, effort, or even the quality of the training itself. It's that organisations treat behaviour change as a one-off learning event rather than a system supported by environment, habits, identity and social reinforcement. Together, Andy and Jenn unpack what the science of behaviour change actually tells us, from the forgetting curve and feedback loops, to the powerful role of values, authenticity and team involvement. This conversation challenges the idea that leaders need to “do more”, and instead reframes leadership growth as doing things differently, consistently, and together. If you've ever wondered why great leadership intentions fade once people return to the day job, this episode offers a grounded, human, and evidence-based answer. ----more---- Key Takeaways One-off learning moments aren't enough. The forgetting curve shows how quickly knowledge fades without reinforcement. Leadership training isn't a motivation problem, it's a behaviour change problem. Jenn reframes development as sustained behavioural shift, not information intake. Environment beats willpower. Feedback loops, systems and social support matter more than personal discipline. Lasting change is social, not solo. Leaders who involve their teams in their development see far greater impact over time. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 01:11 – Why Leadership Training Creates Energy but Rarely Lasts 03:52 – Introducing Jenn Yugo and Her Work in Behavioural Psychology 06:20 – Moving from Academia to Business: Applying Behavioural Science at Work 09:15 – Leadership Development as a Behaviour Change Challenge 13:10 – The Science Behind Why Training Is Quickly Forgotten 16:40 – Why Leaders Blame Themselves When Change Doesn't Stick 20:05 – The Role of Environment, Feedback Loops and Daily Systems 24:10 – Values, Identity and Authenticity in Leadership Behaviour Change 28:40 – Involving Teams in Leadership Development to Reinforce Change 32:55 – Open Learning, Peer Connection and Cross-Organisational Insight 37:15 – Designing Leadership Development as a Journey, Not an Event 42:10 – Sustaining Behaviour Change Through Habits, Nudges and Measurement ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Dr Jenn Yugo on LinkedIn here Find the Corvirtus website here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

Con la llegada de un nuevo año, muchas personas hacen una pausa para pensar qué quieren cambiar o mejorar en su vida. La sexualidad, aunque pocas veces se nombra, también puede formar parte de esos propósitos. Hablar de propósitos sexuales no tiene que ver con exigencias ni con cumplir estándares, sino con bienestar, autocuidado y disfrute responsable. La sexualidad no es un tema superficial: es parte de la salud integral y merece un lugar entre los deseos del nuevo año y para iniciar el año y los jueves de sexualidad con buenos propósitos nuestra especialista en salud sexual, la Dra. Laura Flores nos ayuda a reflexionar en torno a este tema, ella es médica con especialidad en Medicina Sexual, con Maestría en Terapia Sexual y de Pareja y Maestría en Educación de la Sexualidad Humana.

Are white millennial men becoming a “lost generation”?A widely shared essay in Compact magazine contends that white millennial men have borne an overlooked cost of the DEI era — facing stalled careers, closed doors, and deep vocational disillusionment. In this episode, we examine the article's claims and reflect on why this story has resonated so strongly. We discuss meritocracy, generational resentment, the spiritual danger of letting vocational injustice define our identity, and how the gospel speaks to disappointment and unfair systems.Chapters:(0:00) Introductions: The Lost Generation(4:40) A Listener's Story(12:05) Journalism, Academia, and Hollywood: The Evidence(20:00) Meritocracy, Resentment, and Generational Fallout(22:45) What the Gospel Offers in an Unfair World

En este episodio hablo de uno de los errores más caros que puedes estar cometiendo como arquitecto o diseñador de interiores, y que casi nadie cuestiona: seguir explorando como si aún fueras empleado, cuando ya eres dueño de tu estudio. A partir de una conversación real que abrió un debate importante sobre contexto: económico, ciudad y presión reflexionamos sobre cuándo explorar como profesionales tiene sentido, cuándo deja de ser estrategia y cómo, sin darnos cuenta, podemos estar construyendo un portafolio y una reputación que no representan lo que realmente queremos.   Lista de espera Diseña con IA: https://www.anniaesteves.com/delmiedoaldominiochatgpt Lista de espera Academia para Arquitectos y Diseñadores: https://www.anniaesteves.com/academia

Jeffrey Epstein was one of the biggest donors to higher education intsitutions such as Harvard and MIT and in return, Epstein was granted access to these universities, their professors and even had an office of his own on the campus of Harvard. All of this came on the backend of him dishing out lavish donations and gifts to these scientists and colleges.Why did Jeffrey Epstein do it though? Was it just charity? Or was he angling for something else?Let's dive in and discuss it!to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Cozying Up to Monsters - LA ProgressiveBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein's reach into academia was not an accident—it was a deliberate campaign of influence, and the institutions that took his money were not naïve. From Harvard University to MIT, prestigious institutions shamelessly accepted millions from Epstein, even after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor. He was paraded through campuses, granted offices, and allowed to rub elbows with some of the most powerful intellectuals in the world. Harvard, for example, gave him a personal office and continued to associate with him long after his reputation had been shredded. MIT Media Lab staff referred to him as “Voldemort”—he who must not be named—while simultaneously courting his funding in secret, proving the hypocrisy wasn't subtle, it was baked into the institution.What's more damning is the moral contortionism these institutions employed to justify their partnerships. Academia, which claims to be a beacon of ethics and enlightenment, became a laundromat for Epstein's blood money. Professors, researchers, and administrators who should have known better either stayed silent or openly defended the transactions, rationalizing them with talk of “advancing science” or “unrestricted gifts.” In truth, they weren't advancing anything but their own ambitions and budgets. By embracing a convicted predator with open arms, these institutions exposed a rot within academia—where prestige and funding outweighed integrity, and the doors swung open for a monster who knew how to play the game.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein Donated Millions To These Scientists And InstitutesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this conversation, Zoe Booth and Adam Louis-Klein delve into the complexities of antizionism, exploring its ideological roots, the language used to propagate it, and its normalisation in contemporary society. They discuss the formation of the Movement Against Antizionism (MAAZ) and the importance of recognising antizionism as a distinct form of bigotry. The dialogue also addresses the historical context of antizionism, its evolution in academia, and the psychological warfare embedded in its rhetoric. Throughout, practical strategies are offered for countering antizionist claims—emphasising the need for clarity, courage, and a comprehensive understanding of the issue. Adam Louis-Klein is an anthropologist and PhD candidate at McGill University. His research focuses on Indigenous cosmologies in the Colombian Amazon and comparative forms of peoplehood. He is the founder of the Movement Against Antizionism (MAAZ), which challenges antizionist ideology as a distinct form of anti-Jewish hatred. His writing and advocacy explore the intersection of academic discourse, identity, and political propaganda.

What does modern witchcraft actually look like when you move past aesthetics, trends, and internet rules? In this episode, we sit down with Lorraine Monteagut, PhD, queer Latin witch, astrologer, and author of Modern Witchcraft for Dummies and Brujas: The Magic and Power of Witches of Color. We talk about finding your own entry point into magic with curiosity, context, and care. We explore beginner overwhelm, ethical practice, cultural roots, syncretism, and why learning the history behind modern magical practices matters more than “doing it right.”The conversation also moves into the real-life side of magic, from burnout, major transitions, and rebuilding community, to reconnecting with spiritual practice during seasons of change. If you've ever felt unsure where to start, worried about appropriation, or disconnected from your practice during a life shift, this episode offers grounding perspective and permission to meet yourself exactly where you are.Find out more about Lorraine over on:InstagramWebsite And Lorraine's books below:Brujas: The Magic and Power of Witches of Color Modern Witchcraft for DummiesJoin our Patreon for bonus episodes, magical downloads, and unhinged side quests: https://www.patreon.com/demystifymagicPre-order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DonePreorder Mundane Magic & Join the Virtual Book Tour⁠: Celebrate the release of Molly's new book with an exclusive online event on Feb 21, 12 PM EST.

Jeffrey Epstein's infiltration of academia exposed how wealth can override ethics in even the most prestigious institutions. Despite having no advanced degree or scholarly credentials, he gained access to Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and Stanford through millions in donations and by courting high-profile scientists. Epstein was granted office space, access to labs, and close ties with prominent academics, even after his 2008 sex-offense conviction. Universities rationalized these relationships by claiming his money advanced research, but in reality, they allowed him to launder his reputation and embed himself in intellectual circles. By hosting Nobel laureates at his salons and funding programs tied to genetics and transhumanism, he created the illusion of being a serious patron of science while exploiting academia's hunger for funding and prestige.The fallout from Epstein's exposure in 2019 forced institutions to reckon with their complicity. Harvard and MIT conducted reviews, issued apologies, and pledged reforms, but these actions were reactive, driven by media scrutiny and public outrage rather than institutional integrity. The scandal revealed systemic flaws: academia's dependence on philanthropy, its willingness to overlook reputational risks for financial gain, and its blindness in conflating brilliance with morality. Epstein's case stands as a warning that if universities continue to treat ethics as negotiable in exchange for donations, they risk corrupting the very integrity of knowledge. His presence in academia was not an anomaly but a symptom of a larger vulnerability—one that remains unresolved and open to exploitation by the next figure who learns to wield money as a key to intellectual legitimacy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Diferentes estudios señalan a España como uno de los países más sobremedicalizados del mundo, con un uso muy elevado de medicamentos. Más de un 38% de los ciudadanos españoles se automedican con el riesgo que esto supone para la salud. Por otro lado, el consumo de antidepresivos se ha disparado entre la población más joven y un 25% de las personas con edad más avanzada utilizan habitualmente más de cinco medicamentos.Esta semana hablamos de la sobremedicación en nuestro país con Javier Urra, Dr. en Psicología, profesor universitario y académico de número de la Academia de Psicología de España; Gabriel Kaplan, psiquiatra, especialista en Psiquiatría Infantil, Adolescente y Adulta, miembro del Ilustre Colegio de Médicos de Madrid y colaborador en proyectos educativos centrados en la salud mental del alumnado; Monia Presta, psicóloga clínica por la Universidad La Sapienza de Roma, psicóloga general sanitaria, creadora de la Terapia Integradora Estratégica, experta en Sexología y Terapia de Pareja, formadora y escritora de autoayuda, y Rosa Pérez Losa, responsable de SEMES Divulgación, diplomada en Enfermería y licenciada en Antropología y coordinadora de emergencias en SEM Cataluña.Escuchar audio

Independent researcher Armando Mei is part of a team that made waves in the spring of 2025.The results of their scanning beneath the pyramids of Giza – the Khafre pyramid in particular – were sensational. They seemed to reveal gigantic, coherent and seemingly artificial structures down to a depth of over one kilometer.Now, the group hopes to be able to physically explore the underground network at the Giza plateau.“We already know where the access points are”, says Armando.At one of those, there is a debris layer of about seven meters that needs to be removed before explorers can enter.Egypt's archaeology heavyweight Dr Zahi Hawass has dismissed the findings by the Italians as impossible.“I heard him on the Joe Rogan podcast and realized from what he said that he doesn't understand the core of the technology.”Armando Mei currently lives in Egypt. Apart from being a part of the Kharfre scanning project, he conducts his own multidisciplinary studies of the megalithic structures of Giza. He has measured and made calculations on the Khafre pyramid and found intriguing geometric relations. The number 137 appears to be preeminent.Today, many question the textbook narrative that the Giza pyramids were tombs for pharaohs. Armando's hypothesis, aligning with Christopher Dunn's, is that they were built for some kind of energy generation purposes.Judging from documentation like the Turin King List and analyses of the astronomical alignments with the structures on the ground, Armando assesses that the oldest Megalithic monuments on the Giza plateau are at least 38,000 years old.He isn't sure if this lost civilization is in some way related to the Atlantis story, nor if it was wiped out by a cataclysm in the Younger Dryas period, a popular theory.But he does believe that one or more civilization-ending cataclysms have occurred at times in humanity's deep history. He points out the enormous supervolcano Toba eruption 74,000 years ago.To understand our future we need to understand our past, Armando emphasizes. And to understand our past we need to not only have a multidisciplinary approach but in fact change our consciousness. That doesn't mean archaeologists, geologists and historians have to meditate to let insights come to them.“No, they just need to open their eyes”, says Armando.“It's time to read the past with a different view.”His next exploratory project is also about a possible lost civilization. It's on a small island in the Pacific.Armando's FacebookKhafre SAR Research Project on FacebookArmando's papers on ZenodoArmando's papers on Academia

[This recording of Deans Counsel originally published on July 25, 2025 as episode #67.]On this episode of Deans Counsel, Jim Ellis and Ken Kring speak with Blair Sheppard, Special Advisor to Duke Kunshan University, and previously Dean of Duke's Fuqua School of Business. Blair is responsible for directing all of Duke Kunshan's fundraising, corporate development, non-degree program development and regional development for the newly formed campus in China.From 2012-2024, Blair served as Global Leader for Strategy and Leadership at PwC, where he focused on building resilient strategies and leadership for PwC worldwide, and further sharpened his ability to see further into the future than most of the rest of us.In this episode, we hear very compelling observations from Blair about four key mega-trends -- climate, technology, global forces and aging -- that he feels will fundamentally reshape every aspect of society (including business, of course). With us, he shares some insight into how business schools, through their research and teaching, must soon lean into these abrupt changes in societal needs. In so doing, he also lends advice as to how we as leaders should go about the change process of taking faculty through this difficult process, touching on topics such as:- Why some long-held assumptions are no longer holding- Our rapidly changing world's impact on curriculum- Rethinking the teaching of strategy- How Ai will shape demand for the MBALearn more about Blair Sheppard.Comments/criticism/suggestions/feedback?

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Wei-Wu, Executive Chairman at Human Longevity, Inc. Together, they explore how advances in genome sequencing, AI, and multi-layered diagnostics are changing the fight against age-related diseases. Wei-Wu shares why understanding your own genetic risks and combining them with other health data leads to better prevention and a longer healthspan.Wei-Wu explains the value of integrating genome sequencing, advanced imaging, and liquid biopsy to catch diseases like cancer early, before symptoms appear. He draws on real-world examples, including how combining different tests can spot cancers that single methods might miss. The conversation highlights how technology brings down costs, making once-rare insights widely available, and how each person stands to benefit from personalized risk profiles.The episode closes with practical advice: use today's tools to become the CEO of your own health. Wei-Wu urges listeners to embrace data-driven, individualized care and stresses that no single tool or habit holds all the answers. Instead, true longevity comes from a holistic, ongoing approach, one that uses all available knowledge to prevent disease and extend both life and health.Guest-at-a-Glance

Episode: 3347  My metaphor for the academic life: The Circus.  Today, we welcome new faculty.

Not all “civil” behavior is harmless. Some actions, cloaked in sophistication or authority, can be far more destructive than overtly crude ones. From Donald Trump's press interactions to the actions of journalists, university leaders, and political officials, Victor Davis Hanson distinguishes between crass and refined crudity—showing how the latter misleads the public under the guise of authority or expertise—on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “No need to call Jasmine Crockett a low-IQ person or a reporter dumb or stupid or fatty. And I would call that crass crudity. And it's something that Trump does and probably should not do, and people have probably reminded him of that. But there's another type of crudity, I would call that crudity refined crudity. Crass crudity is openly overt, transparent, and condemned. But it's also rhetorical. It doesn't affect policies. It's the ways one reacts to criticism in Trump's case. But what is refined crudity? I wanna tell you, give you some examples, very different examples of what I would call refined crudity.” (0:00) Introduction (0:20) Trump's Crass Crudity (1:13) Refined Crudity in Media (2:16) Refined Crudity in Academia (3:59) Refined Crudity in Law and Politics (5:12) Refined Crudity in Military Leadership (8:04) Conclusion We need your help to ensure The Daily Signal can continue to counter the liberal media's lies with the truth.

Time for the holiday message! Rounding off the year with a brief and casual reflection on some issue that doesn't quite rise to the level of a full solo podcast. And hopefully something uplifting.This year, I offer a short apologia for higher education in the liberal arts and sciences, focusing not on the down-to-earth economic/occupational benefits of a college degree, but on the very real ways in which such an education opens up possibilities for personal growth. I think all of us in academia should be loud and unapologetic about the more romantic, idealistic values of the modern university.Happy holidays all!Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/12/22/holiday-message-2025-the-romance-of-the-university/Support Mindscape on Patreon.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
