Synopsis:  An AI revolution is underway, but so is the resistance.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription:  An AI revolution is underway, but so is the resistance. People across the country are feeling the strain of the huge energy-sucking data processing centers that AI requires, and telling their elected officials to slow down or stop new big tech projects for firms like OpenAI, Amazon, Google, Facebook and Microsoft. Data from a 2025 Pew study shows that only 17 percent of Americans think AI will have a positive impact over the next 20 years. But it's a David vs. Goliath battle. Today's guests say AI expansion is not a red or blue issue; it's about who gets to decide how human and natural resources are distributed, who controls the technology, and who stands to benefit. Faiz Shakir is the Founder and Executive Director of the labor-focused news platform More Perfect Union, and serves as a political advisor for Senator Bernie Sanders. John Cassidy, staff writer at the New Yorker, is the author of the recent book, “Capitalism and Its Critics: A History: From the Industrial Revolution to AI”, in which he draws our attention back to the Luddites, the 18th century workers whose revolt deserves our closer attention. Plus, our correspondent's coverage of a shocking scene at a public comment meeting in Wisconsin when a local woman was arrested and dragged away. If AI is the new face of capitalism, what is the new alternative?“Luddites, when I was growing up, was a term of abuse. It was people who were sort of antediluvians and didn't understand the modern world. . . . They understood the modern world as it was in their times perfectly, and they saw it was moving against them, and they saw that the political system wasn't coming to their defense.” - John Cassidy“. . . There's more and more pushback, which hopefully portends the possibility that a lot of these communities can strike better deals if they are going to have data centers. There's no reason why we can't be asking that the teachers are well paid, that the electricity rates don't go up, that we have decent affordable housing in those communities. That is all possible because we're playing with incredible amounts of dollars and deep-pocketed people . . . ” - Faiz ShakirGuests:•  John Cassidy: Staff Writer, The New Yorker; Author, Capitalism and Its Critics: A History: From the Industrial Revolution to AI•  Faiz Shakir: Founder & Executive Director, More Perfect Union; Political Advisor & Former Campaign Manager, Senator Bernie Sanders Watch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Aging is not something Zoltan Istvan plans to accept quietly. He wants to treat death like a technical bug, rewrite the rules of biology, and turn California into the global test bed for radical human upgrades. From cyborg implants to AI driven longevity science, this episode explores what happens when a candidate for governor openly argues that humans should evolve beyond their biological limits and take control of how long and how well they live. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Zoltan Istvan, a leading transhumanist, futurist, longevity advocate, and current candidate for Governor of California. Zoltan has spoken at Parliaments and Senates around the world, appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, consulted for the US Armed Forces, and served as a correspondent for The New York Times. He has addressed the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, and the UK Parliament, and his work has influenced world leaders while shaping global conversations on AI, liberty, and human enhancement. Trained in philosophy and ethics at Columbia University and the University of Oxford, Zoltan brings rare depth to the intersection of technology, biology, and governance. Together, they explore whether aging should be classified as a disease, why regulation is slowing breakthroughs in longevity science, and how California could become ground zero for anti-aging innovation. They debate biology versus machine integration, open source technology versus centralized control, and what morphological freedom really means when enhancement technologies move faster than policy. The discussion spans mitochondria, neuroplasticity, brain optimization, stem cells, organ printing, implants, and the ethical risks of surveillance, algorithmic persuasion, and unchecked AI. This episode is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, hacking human performance, longevity, metabolism, functional medicine, anti-aging strategies, supplements, nootropics, ketosis, fasting, carnivore frameworks, sleep optimization, and living Smarter Not Harder in a world increasingly shaped by AI and technology, ideally with a cup of Danger Coffee in hand. You'll Learn: • Why aging may be a solvable problem rather than an unavoidable fate • How politics and regulation influence access to longevity and anti-aging therapies • The real tradeoffs between biological upgrades and machine integration • Why mitochondria, neuroplasticity, and brain optimization matter in human enhancement • How AI and surveillance technology threaten cognitive and biological autonomy • What morphological freedom means for the future of medicine and personal choice • Why open source approaches to biohacking could protect liberty and innovation • How Smarter Not Harder strategies support longevity in a rapidly evolving world Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Synopsis:  Together, Laura and Donna consider expansive questions: how do we understand ourselves in an age of artificial intelligence? And how do we resist the pull of authoritarian “mono-thought” — the demand for certainty, sameness, and simple answers in a complex world? This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: “Thinking requires action and passion,” says feminist philosopher and scholar, Donna Haraway in this unique conversation. In her 1985 essay “A Cyborg Manifesto” and 2003 work, “The Companion Species Manifesto”, Haraway challenged patriarchal, capitalist, binary, species-ist ways of looking at the world. It's no surprise that people are looking to her work again now. Generative thinking, she tells Laura, requires “taking the risk to try a new pattern; to invent something that may very well fall apart in your collective hands but leaves threads to be picked up again.” In this episode, Haraway and Flanders sit down for an expansive conversation about what it means to be human in an age of AI and resisting what she calls authoritarian “mono-thought.” Plus, a commentary from Laura on staying in the present and “staying with the trouble.”“An individual is embedded deeply in worlds with other people, with other organisms, with living and non-living parts of the world. To be a self is to come to a thicker appreciation and accountability for the way we're embedded in the world and act in the world. That's what I mean by being a proper self.” - Donna HarawayGuest:  Donna Haraway, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of California Santa Cruz, History of Consciousness Department; Author, A Cyborg Manifesto, When Species Meet, Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the ChthuluceneWatch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

In dieser Folge von Shape of Tomorrow sprechen wir über eine der spannendsten Studien zur Zukunft der Wissensarbeit. Eine große Harvard-Studie mit 244 BCG‑Beratern zeigt: Es gibt drei völlig unterschiedliche Wege, wie Menschen mit generativer KI arbeiten – als Cyborgs, Centaurs oder Self‑Automators. Und je nachdem, welchen Modus wir wählen, wachsen unsere Fähigkeiten weiter, verändern sich grundlegend oder erodieren sogar. Wir schauen uns an, wie diese drei Arbeitsweisen funktionieren, warum sie so unterschiedliche Skill‑Effekte haben und was das für Unternehmen, Expertise und unsere eigene berufliche Zukunft bedeutet. Eine Folge über KI, menschliche Entscheidungsarchitektur – und die zentrale Frage, wie wir in einer KI‑getriebenen Welt wirklich besser werden.

Was passiert, wenn Medizin, Technik und Neurowissenschaften ineinandergreifen? Im Gespräch mit Professor Oskar Azmann, Leiter des klinischen Labors für bionische Extremitätenrekonstruktion an der MedUni Wien, wird deutlich: Bionik ist längst keine Zukunftsvision mehr. Aßmann rekonstruiert nicht nur Nerven, sondern schafft Schnittstellen zwischen Mensch und Maschine, die verlorenes Körpergefühl ein Stück weit zurückbringen. Er erklärt, warum Prothesen heute mehr sind als Ersatzteile, weshalb Sensorik der Schlüssel zum Embodiment ist und weshalb die Idee eines „Cyborgs der Zukunft“ eine gefährliche Illusion bleibt. Zwischen chirurgischer Präzision, philosophischen Fragen und berührenden Patientengeschichten gibt Aszmann Einblicke in die Grenzen und Möglichkeiten moderner bionischer Medizin. Ein Gespräch über Pioniergeist, Verantwortung – und darüber, was eine Hand wirklich ausmacht.

 Wer sind die Borg? Die Borg, eine fiktive Zivilisation aus dem Star Trek-Universum (Das nächste Jahrhundert), sind humanoide Cyborgs, vollgestopft mit technischen Implantaten der Fähigkeiten, die sie von anderen Zivilisationen assimiliert haben. Borg leben vollständig im Kollektiv. Ein einzelner Borg hat keine Handlungsmöglichkeit, er ist mit all seinem Wahrnehmen, Verarbeiten, Entscheiden und Reagieren komplett an sein Kollektiv angeschlossen. Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der sich viele Menschen fühlen wie ein Borg - wie eine Mischung aus Genmaterial, Erziehung und Konditionierungen. Ich erzähle in diesem Podcast, wie es möglich ist, durch tägliches Schreiben zu lernen, sich selbst als selbstbestimmtes Individuum kennenzulernen. Wer mehr über das alles wissen will, kann gerne die SteadyNews als wöchentlichen Newsletter abonnieren (Abo-Feld rechts auf der Startseite - Bestätigungsmail landet zunächst oft im Spamordner) - Jede Woche schreibe ich 5 Beiträge zu Themen rund um den digitalen Wandel und versende sie jeden Dienstag um 9.00 Uhr an alle Abonnenten. https://steadynews.de/

“It all started with too much Star Trek, although you could say that that's a lie because there is never too much Star Trek.” - Surekha DaviesIn the latest How To Write the Future podcast, titled “Monsters and Humanity in Fiction with Surekha Davies,” host Beth Barany talks to science and art historian, monster consultant, and author, Surekha Davies. Together they discuss why understanding monsters matters, how they function as boundary-markers for humanity, and how writer's can apply an historian's perspective on monsters to deepen their storytelling. ABOUT SUREKHA DAVIESSurekha Davies is a historian of science, art, and ideas, a speaker, and a monster consultant for TV, film and radio. She is the author of "Humans: A Monstrous History" just out from the University of California Press, and writes the free newsletter, "Strange and Wondrous: Notes From a Science Historian."

Die Erde im Jahr 2120: Die Welt gehört den grossen Tech-Konzernen und ihrer Gier nach Fortschritt – und die Aliens sind zurück. Manuel und Jay fragen sich, wer hier das wahre Monster ist… In dieser Folge nehmen Manuel und Jay euch mit ins Alien-Universum – dorthin, wo grün flackernde Schrift auf schwarzen Bildschirmen vom Untergang erzählt. Alien: Earth, die neue Science-Fiction-Horrorserie von Noah Hawley, spielt im Jahr 2120 – einer Welt, in der fünf Megakonzerne um nichts Geringeres kämpfen als die Unsterblichkeit. Im «Wettrennen der Technologien» geht es um Cyborgs, Synths und Hybride – Menschen, Maschinen und Mischwesen mit eingepflanztem Bewusstsein. Als ein außerirdisches Raumschiff mit tödlicher Fracht auf der Erde abstürzt, eskalieren Macht, Angst und Größenwahn – und plötzlich stellt sich die Frage, wer hier eigentlich das Monster ist: die Aliens, die sich einfach vermehren wollen, oder der Mensch, der glaubt, sich selbst neu erschaffen zu können. Mit Witz, Scharfsinn und einem Schuss theologischer Tiefenbohrung diskutieren Manuel und Jay, was Alien: Earth über unsere Gegenwart erzählt: über Tech-Giganten, Hybris, künstliche Götter – und die Abgründe menschlicher Profitgier.

According to a voiceline by the Democracy Officer, these aliens predate humanity's existence by millennia. They are a technologically advanced, mystical, and highly intelligent species, having gone down the path of electricity in the same way that humans went from rocks to bullets.The Terminids, sometimes referred to as the Terminid Horde or Terminid Swarm, and commonly called Bugs, are one of the enemy factions in the Second Galactic War. Having escaped the farms where they were harvested for Element-710, the Terminids engage in the violent attacks against the citizenry of Super Earth and with their un-Democratic power structure.Support the show

My discussion with Ryan Tanaka, host of Neura pod about the rise of LLMs and how Neuralink will enable humans to communicate in new ways with AI.

Noah Hawley, das kreative Mastermind hinter Fargo und Legion, hat sich dem Horror-Franchise Alien angenommen. Bei Disney+ startete die erste Serie zum Xenomorphen, die acht Episoden in der ersten Staffel umfasst. Gleich nach dem grünen ikonischen Schriftzug des ausführenden Senders “FX” der Disney-Familie, wird der Zuschauer auf die neue Menschenart Hybrid aufmerksam gemacht, die neben der synthetischen Androiden und Cyborgs in dieser Welt existieren. Wendy (Sydney Chandler) wird zu dieser neuen Mischform von Mensch in einem synthetischen Körper gemacht, da sie zuvor als sterbenskrankes Kind keine Überlebenschancen gehabt hat. Als ein Raumschiff auf der Erde abstürzt und ihr Bruder Hermit (Alex Lawther) als Sanitäter zum Einsatzort berufen wird, beginnt der Einsatz von Wendy und ihren anderen Teenager-Hybriden, den ”lost boys” bei der Unfallstelle Daten zu sammeln. Denn die Ladung des Raumschiffes beherbergt einige unangenehme Sopezies. Die beiden Podcaster Hanna und Tim besprechen in der neuen Podcastepisode die ersten beiden Folgen, wobei ab der 19. Minute der Spoilerteil beginnt. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Eigentlich sollte es nur eine entspannte Reise durch retro-futuristische Klangwelten werden – doch dann zündete Markus den Fluxkompensator! Mit dem ikonischen Gitarrenriff von "Back to the Future" als Startrampe geht's auf eine Zeitreise durch neonbeleuchtete Soundscapes, bei der Chris und Markus selbst ein bisschen wie Marty McFly und Doc Brown wirken: voller Entdeckergeist, mit einer Prise Chaos – und immer dicht an der Überdrehzahlgrenze des guten Geschmacks. Erlebe eine wilde Fahrt durch neonleuchtende Nachtstädte, cyberpunkige Fantasien, verzerrte Vaporwave-Träume und Beats, die deine Sinne kitzeln. Dazu gibt's digitale Ersthilfe für Synth-Sucht, eine Prise 80er-Kultkino, flackernde CRT-Monitore – und obendrauf: laserblickende Cyborgs, glitchige Hologramme und dunkle Geheimnisse hinter dem Schleier der Drum-Maschine. Tauche ein in eine Folge voller Retro-Charme, elektrisierender Sounds und jeder Menge Drive – serviert mit einem kühlen Energydrink im glow-in-the-dark-Becher.

As technology increasingly blurs the distinction between man and machine, new questions emerge about the future of religion, education, work, politics, and family life. Today, Todd and Carl engage in a thought-provoking discussion with Joshua Pauling, co-author of the book Are We All Cyborgs Now? Reclaiming Our Humanity from the Machine. Together, they explore the implications of technology on humanity, the concept of being a cyborg, and how modern digital environments shape our understanding of human nature.  The conversation delves into the ethical challenges posed by technological advancements, as well as the opportunities afforded to flourish in the digital age rooted in the sacramental life of the Church and the rich tradition of liberal learning. Technology is posing tremendous opportunities for getting the word out in ways that weren't possible before, but also tremendous challenges. – Todd Pruitt We are pleased to offer three copies of Joshua Pauling and Robin Phillips' book, Are We All Cyborgs Now? Reclaiming Our Humanity from the Machine, to our listeners, thanks to the generosity of Basilian Media & Publishing.

Happy Easter! Well that was Sunday, but happy Easter anyway. In honour of that yearly and ancient ritual holiday that has its roots in the rebirth of spring in the northern hemisphere our Quackcast is on the theme of resurrection! The idea that people can come back to life in realty is pure fantasy but it is an essential part of all different kinds of fiction. In classic time-loop stories like Groundhog Day, Palm Springs Meet Cute and others everything tends to reset at a set point. People can die and they will all come back regularly to repeat their day again. It's a very regular and understandable for of rebirth, just like spring! Contrast that with the way monsters are randomly reborn for horror movie sequels; they're killed in all sorts of ways but still tend to come back and varying points with no rhyme or reason, more like a random natural disaster. The place where resurrection has truly found a home is fantasy Isekai stories, usually in manga and anime. The reason for this is because extra lives and resurrection are a key part of game mechanics, originally platform games but later RPGs: you need extra lives in order to complete the games, without them it's just all too hard. Isekai stories already BEGIN with a resurrection because the protagonist usually dies crossing the road to save a kitten, small dog, young child, or schoolgirl in a short skirt, and is reborn in a fantasy land as the new hero. But now that almost all fantasy Isekais are based on the mechanics of fantasy RPGs most include regular resurrection whenever characters die IN the story. Their friends just go to a temple with some gold or a special item and bring them back. An honourable mention for the regular rebirths in Marvel and DC comics… They usually make use of alternative dimensions but nothing is off limits in those crazy stories. What's your fave sort of resurrection trope? Vampires? Different dimension versions? Cloning? Paying at a temple? Cyborgs? Virtual life uploads? Or magical rebirth?

We're back with an episode from the vault. Dean is out traveling through the exotic province of Ontario, so this week we're giving you a classic Episode with Marika Rose. You might remember a few weeks back we talked about Angels from the perspective of a weird book by Michel Serres. Well, we decided we couldn't leave the conversation there. We needed an angel expert. So, this week, we're joined by Marika Rose to talk about angels, cyborgs, and her new book, Theology for the End of the World. If you're in the UK, you can preorder Marika's book here: https://scmpress.hymnsam.co.uk/books/9780334060666/theology-for-the-end-of-the-worldYou can get it in late July if you're not in the UK.Also, in the episode, Marika talks about she and her colleagues taking industrial action at the University of Winchester.

The year is 2027. Cyborgs roam the streets of the America/Japan Corporate Union. The Red Army Hammerheads, a cyborg separatist group plans... a murder of some kind? And only Alex Rain, who is also a cyborg, but not as much of a cyborg as the other ones, is the only man/83% cyborg, who can stop... the cyborgs, who we think might be 100% cyborg, but that would make them robots. We can't be sure, but the sunglasses and trench coats are defiantly a vibe. ANYWAY.... Join the boys as they try to decipher a movie that we know, for sure, is a 1992 cyberpunk action film directed by the great Albert Pyun, starting Oliver (pronounced Olivie-ay) Gruner, that was once described as "A story told by an 8 year old that had reached into a bag of sci-fi tropes from the 80's, and is just making it up as he goes along" by one of the hosts of this podcast. "Nemesis" can be seen in full, for free, on Youtube. Watch along with us so that you too, can be "State of the Fucking Art".

This week Dr. Surekha Davies joins in to talk about a different way of seeing human history--through monsters. According to her, Monsters are central to how we think about the human condition. So our conversation reveals how people have defined the human in relation to everything from apes to zombies, and how they invented race, gender, and nations along the way. And to do so, we are talking about one of the very best Pixar films ever made: Monsters, Inc. This episode is so good that it's scary.About our guest:Dr. Surekha Davies is a British author, speaker, and historian of science, art, and ideas. Her first book, Renaissance Ethnography and the Invention of the Human, won the Morris D. Forkosch Prize for the best first book in intellectual history from the Journal of the History of Ideas and the Roland H. Bainton Prize in History and Theology. She has written essays and reviews about the histories of biology, anthropology, and monsters in the Times Literary Supplement, Nature, Science, and Aeon.

My special guest tonight is researcher Elana Freeland who's here to tell you why you should be very worried about plans for your future.     If you want to enjoy recent episodes of Mysterious Radio just search for the show in your favorite podcast app and make sure you to follow or subscribe so you never miss an episode!  It is difficult to believe that our planet has been weaponized before our very eyes, but that is exactly what has happened. First, we were seduced by the convenience of a wireless world; then, atmospheric weather experimentation in the guise of carbons “climate change” converted the air we breathe into an antenna. Now, the geo-engineering we've been subjected to for two decades is being normalized as the “Star Wars” Space Fence rises around and within us. Is this the Space Age we were promised?   

In this engaging conversation on the Crazy Wisdom podcast, Stewart Alsop talks with neurologist Brian Ahuja about his work in intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, the intricate science of brainwave patterns, and the philosophical implications of advancing technology. From the practical applications of neuromonitoring in surgery to broader topics like transhumanism, informed consent, and the integration of technology in medicine, the discussion offers a thoughtful exploration of the intersections between science, ethics, and human progress. Brian shares his views on AI, the medical field's challenges, and the trade-offs inherent in technological advancement. To follow Brian's insights and updates, you can find him on Twitter at @BrianAhuja.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:21 Understanding Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring00:59 Exploring Brainwaves: Alpha, Beta, Theta, and Gamma03:25 The Impact of Alcohol and Benzodiazepines on Sleep07:17 The Evolution of Remote Neurophysiological Monitoring09:19 Transhumanism and the Future of Human-Machine Integration16:34 Informed Consent in Medical Procedures18:46 The Intersection of Technology and Medicine24:37 Remote Medical Oversight25:59 Real-Time Monitoring Challenges28:00 The Business of Medicine29:41 Medical Legal Concerns32:10 Alternative Medical Practices36:22 Philosophy of Mind and AI43:47 Advancements in Medical Technology48:55 Conclusion and Contact InformationKey InsightsIntraoperative Neurological Monitoring: Brian Ahuja introduced the specialized field of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, which uses techniques like EEG and EMG to protect patients during surgeries by continuously tracking brain and nerve activity. This proactive measure reduces the risk of severe complications like paralysis, showcasing the critical intersection of technology and patient safety.Brainwave Categories and Their Significance: The conversation provided an overview of brainwave patterns—alpha, beta, theta, delta, and gamma—and their connections to various mental and physical states. For instance, alpha waves correspond to conscious relaxation, while theta waves are linked to deeper relaxation or meditative states. These insights help demystify the complex language of neurophysiology.Transhumanism and the Cyborg Argument: Ahuja argued that humans are already "cyborgs" in a functional sense, given our reliance on smartphones as extensions of our minds. This segued into a discussion about the philosophical and practical implications of transhumanism, such as brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink and their potential to reshape human capabilities and interactions.Challenges of Medical Technology Integration: The hype surrounding medical technology advancements, particularly AI and machine learning, was critically examined. Ahuja highlighted concerns over inflated claims, such as AI outperforming human doctors, and stressed the need for grounded, evidence-based integration of these tools into healthcare.Philosophy of Mind and Consciousness: A recurring theme was the nature of consciousness and its central role in both neurology and AI research. The unresolved "hard problem of consciousness" raises ethical and philosophical questions about the implications of mimicking or enhancing human cognition through technology.Trade-offs in Technological Progress: Ahuja emphasized that no technological advancement is without trade-offs. While tools like CRISPR and mRNA therapies hold transformative potential, they come with risks like unintended consequences, such as horizontal gene transfer, and the ethical dilemmas of their application.Human Element in Medicine: The conversation underscored the importance of human connection in medical practice, particularly in neurology, where patients often face chronic and emotionally taxing conditions. Ahuja's reflections on the pitfalls of bureaucracy, private equity in healthcare, and the overemphasis on defensive medicine highlighted the critical need to prioritize patient-centered care in an increasingly technological and administrative landscape.

Recognizing the most important crimes takes practice. There is such a large, rich pool to choose from. All the glitz and glam is fake. They try to silence those without an NDA. It's not about the virus, it's about the cure. Using someone's crimes against them can be evil. Standing by and watching information get skewed is common. Helping only those who need help is in us. Lefty groups are planning stuff, and the cops are watching. Some chat rooms are all Feds. It's about erasing history. People are grifting on the pain of others. Things done to destroy us only makes us stronger. Changing history by stealing truths and re-dating the true facts. They are posturing for the control of narratives. The media is all distraction. Your States are not protecting you. Drones everywhere, but what data are they collecting? Vampires need to regenerate flesh because they are very old. Michael Casbolt tells some scary tales. Dr. Green and his spy assassin program. There are so many familiar names involved in all this evil. Satan decides who in the industry will succeed. Breaking away at lunch to sacrifice babies. The media conspires to put their candidate on top. Sen. Frank Church spilled the beans way back when. Obama is the Big Guy. There are distractions in abundance so stay focused. Truth must light our path to real justice and freedom.

EPISODE #1122 CYBORGS OR HUMANS? THE WAR FOR OUR MINDS AND BODIES What if the degradation of the planet is not just a byproduct of human greed but the explicit intention of government agencies bought off by corporations? What if their intent is to create a “post-human” global government run by AI, populated by a genetically and electromagnetically altered Homo sapiens loaded with nanotechnology and run by 5G/6G/7G transceivers from space? GUEST:  Elana Freeland is a writer, teacher, and lecturer who researches classified-status issues such as geoengineering, MK-ULTRA neural operations, and invasive electromagnetic weapons. The author of several books, including a trilogy on what geoengineering is really about. She lives in Olympia, Washington.

What is the future of religion, politices, and humanity as AI seems to take over the world? Can humans be replaced, and if so, what does that say about human value in the eyes of the culture? Josh Pauling, co-author of the book by the same name as the episode title, is on the show to discuss these questions. He helps us understand how to view technology from a biblical worldview. Annie Crawford joins him to bring her expertise to the conversation, as we tackle some of the most pressing issues facing Christians today.  Order: Are We All Cyborgs Now Annie Crawford Website  Salvo Magazine    Find Shanda www.shandafulbright.com Instagram & Facebook: @shandafulbright Email: hello@shandafulbright.com Free Resources: https://shandafulbright.com/links YouTube: http://bit.ly/ShandaYT2021 Store: www.Shandafulbright.com/shop
