Episode: 3402  Absolute Zero: The hunt for the lowest possible temperature.  Today, absolute zero.

Sarah and Jane put the guest mic down this week to turn the conversation on themselves — and to share some messages from Robert Redford, along with some big news. In this episode of Medium Curious, the mediumship podcast for the curious and the skeptical alike, Jane and Sarah trace how they each found their way into psychic development and spirit communication without ever planning to — Sarah from a career as a professional oboist, Jane from running film production companies. The conversation moves into consciousness, energy, and why comparing your intuitive gifts to someone else's can shut your own connection down. They also unpack entropy as a way of reading energetic states — what it means to be in a low-entropy state of ease and coherence versus a high-entropy state of urgency and static — and how that shapes the energy you bring to any reading, conversation, or room. Plus: readings on Einstein and Robert Redford in spirit, verifiable details from the other side, and the launch of a new membership community called Medium Curious Collective for anyone curious about mediumship, intuition, and connecting with spirit. Topics covered: mediumship, psychic development, spirit communication, consciousness, energy and entropy, celebrity mediumship readings, intuitive development, signs from spirit Key Takeaways Comparing your intuitive gifts to someone else's is one of the fastest ways to shut your own connection down. Feeling less-than in the moment is often a signal to look at an old safety pattern, not a verdict on your ability. Any container or boundary — spiritual practice included — is worth periodically checking. Is it protecting you, or is it quietly limiting how far you let yourself expand? Entropy is a useful lens for energy: lower entropy states (ease, love, coherence) tend to be more expansive, while higher entropy states (urgency, static, self-drama) tend to contract things. Small check-ins with your own state matter more than they might seem to. You don't need formal training to practice reading energy. Picking a public figure, tuning in, and verifying specific, googleable details afterward is a low-stakes way to build trust in your own hits. Growing intuitive or energetic capacity slowly, with time to integrate, tends to hold up better than trying to "come online" all at once. A community where curiosity and wonder are normalized can be just as valuable as any specific technique or teaching. Quotes "All of creation is experiencing itself through you." — Sarah, on a message received during a channeled event "High entropy would be self-drama, urgency, noise, static. Low entropy is where you're in love, care, cooperation, honesty, service — you're really in integrity." — Jane "Don't leave this life without a dream or two coming true." — Jane, sharing a message from Robert Redford Links & Resources Medium Curious Collective sign-up —https://mediumcurious.thinkific.com/pages/medium-curious-collective Lauren Robertson, medium and teacher, author of Medium and Manolos Christy Levy, medium (referenced from a prior episode) Suzanne Giesemann — referenced re: the "connect with someone famous" practice game Medium Curious:  MediumCurious.com Jane Morgan Medium: Jane Morgan Medium  Sarah Rathke: SarahRathke.com Instagram: MediumCuriousPod (@mediumcuriouspod)  Substack: https://mediumcuriouspod.substack.com/

Dr. Killeen explores the law of entropy and what it can teach us about running a great dental practice. Just like a garage gets messier when nobody maintains it, practice systems naturally drift over time. Scheduling protocols get skipped, standards slip, and good habits slowly disappear unless someone actively puts energy back into them. The good news is that this isn't a sign of failure. It's simply the reality of leadership. It's explained why maintaining a strong practice requires continuous reinforcement through training, accountability, reminders, and regular check-ins. The goal isn't to build perfect systems once, but to keep putting energy into them so they stay strong.

Statistical physicist Matthieu Wyart joins Tim Scarfe to argue that the answer lies in the hidden hierarchy of data. Language and images are built from parts within parts; depth lets a network recover those coarse-grained variables and escape the curse of dimensionality.The conversation moves from jamming transitions and rough loss surfaces to Chomsky, context-free grammars and machine creativity. Wyart explains why next-token prediction can still recover compositional structure, where current systems fall short of genuine scientific invention, and why predicting latent representations rather than raw tokens could make learning far more sample-efficient.They also examine diffusion models, neural scaling laws and the limits of physics-inspired theory. The final question is on a personal note: if mistakes are the price of leaving the beaten path, how much scientific risk is worth taking?---TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 Can machines learn abstractions from data?00:02:00 Notion agentic workspace00:02:49 From statistical physics to machine learning00:06:40 What physics can explain about learning00:16:37 From Carnot to Chomsky bulldozer00:21:21 How deep networks recover hidden hierarchies00:32:43 Where machine creativity still falls short00:40:48 How deep nets escape the curse of dimensionality00:52:19 Why predict latents instead of tokens01:02:49 The sample-efficiency case for latent prediction01:08:31 Diffusion, scaling laws and text entropy01:16:40 The scientists we learn from and the mistakes we make---REFERENCES:person:[00:00:43] Noam Chomskyhttps://linguistics.mit.edu/user/chomsky/tool:[00:02:08] Notion Developer Platformhttps://www.notion.com/en-gb/blog/introducing-developer-platformpaper:[00:04:43] Mastering the game of Go with deep neural networks and tree searchhttps://www.nature.com/articles/nature16961[00:05:52] Reconciling modern machine-learning practice and the bias-variance trade-offhttps://arxiv.org/abs/1812.11118[00:25:54] How Deep Neural Networks Learn Compositional Data: The Random Hierarchy Modelhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2307.02129[00:42:12] Efficient Estimation of Word Representations in Vector Spacehttps://arxiv.org/abs/1301.3781[00:52:46] Self-Supervised Learning from Images with a Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecturehttps://arxiv.org/abs/2301.08243[00:52:54] Learn from your own latents and not from tokens: A sample-complexity theoryhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2605.27734[01:08:31] A Phase Transition in Diffusion Models Reveals the Hierarchical Nature of Datahttps://arxiv.org/abs/2402.16991[01:11:39] Scaling Laws for Neural Language Modelshttps://arxiv.org/abs/2001.08361[01:12:17] Deriving Neural Scaling Laws from the statistics of natural languagehttps://arxiv.org/abs/2602.07488[01:13:34] Prediction and Entropy of Printed Englishhttps://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6773263---LINKS:Download PDF transcript: https://app.rescript.info/share/f7644cdaa86c5cc1e41e484e290f2bd4

In this episode, we spent most of our time unpacking the Coldcard firmware exploit and the chaos that followed across the Bitcoin self-custody world. From our perspective, this was a painful but important conversation about broken trust, weak entropy, and the real-world consequences of software mistakes in security-critical products. We walked through how the vulnerability appears to have stemmed from a flawed random number generation implementation, why so many wallets were exposed, and how quickly attackers were able to sweep funds once the issue became public. We also discussed why this incident has reignited the debate around GPL licensing, open development, and the value of broad community review for Bitcoin hardware and firmware projects.We also zoomed out to talk about what this means for Bitcoin builders and operators going forward. That included the importance of defensive self-custody practices, why simply applying a hotfix may not be enough to restore confidence, and how the broader community responded with audits, tooling, data analysis, and emergency migration help. We wrapped by connecting these lessons to open-source mining development, including updates from the 256 Foundation ecosystem and the latest Mujina developer call, where contributors are working to build community-owned tools the right way: in public, with transparency, shared responsibility, and long-term resilience in mind.

History teaches that every empire falls. Entropy often sets in from within. Peter writes his second epistle to warn believers of false teachers within the Church. Dr. John teaches that believers need to be discerning. The gullible are prone to the secret and seductive ways of those seeking to lead God's people astray.Danger From Within: Jesus spoke of wolves in sheep's clothing. Paul warned of wolves among the flock. Peter alerts the Church of false teachers. It was a danger for the early church. It remains a challenge for today's Church. Listen as Dr. John unfolds 2 Peter for our caution and protection.

Kevin launches a new classic RISK! series for Disability Pride Month, revisiting stories about life with a disability from episodes past. Amy Salloway takes a job as guest playwright at Entropy, a theater program for adults with multiple disabilities. On her first day, a charming client named Aaron falls at her feet. The interview quickly becomes something Amy knows is off-limits. Mary Gossett meets Andrew on the Plenty of Fish dating app. He's a wheelchair user. Their first months together are equal parts giddy first love and daily logistical negotiation. Then, on the morning of what was supposed to be a landmark day, Mary loses feeling on the right side of her body. (And thanks to Amy Salloway and Jeff Grell, who organized the Twin Cities RISK! fundraiser where Mary's story was originally recorded.) • Leave your comments to these stories and find episode details and music credits at risk-show.com/podcast/the-best-of-disability-stories • Find this and future Best of Disability Stories episodes at risk-show.com/disabilitystories  Be Part of RISK!

Chase Koch grew up receiving Sunday philosophy lessons from his father Charles and, by his own account, spent most of them half asleep while his sister supplied the answers. The principles didn't land until he lived them: throwing tennis matches as a bored teenager, getting shipped off to shovel manure at a feed yard twelve hours later, then spending five years battling Brazilian bureaucracy to build a fertilizer terminal that should have taken one. Today he is Executive Vice President of Origination and Partnerships, leader and donor to Stand Together, plays lead guitar in a band named for the law of entropy, and has a new book with his father on principle-driven leadership. Chase and Tyler discuss if any of his father's lessons never stuck, the guilt-trip letter his grandfather wrote three months after Charles was born, why Chase started throwing tennis matches, what Rafa's grit taught him about stoicism, who he admired most from the 1992 Dream Team, whether the Spurs should jettison De'Aaron Fox, the David Gilmour solo that hooked him at eleven, what drew him to jam bands, how he built a boom-box business out of his parents' garage, why his father interviewed Snoop on a Zoom call during Covid, why his band is named for the second law of thermodynamics, what it's like working with MrBeast, how Koch Inc has evolved, what he learned from Marc Andreessen, the philosophy behind hiring the "farm team," why he is teaching himself to code with Claude at his fourteen-year-old's urging, where he's traveling next, and much more.

In this episode, the network-topologist-turned-gravity-theorist explains her "Gravity from Entropy" action, which treats matter and geometry symmetrically through a geometric quantum relative entropy (not the horizon entropy of Verlinde or Jacobson). She details why it reduces to Einstein's equations at low energy while predicting a dynamical, always-positive dark energy term (the "G field"), how it may avoid black hole singularities and reproduce the area law without invoking holography, and why she believes understanding the brain may be harder than understanding quantum gravity. We close with her advice for young researchers. I hope you enjoy.

Post-postmodern spiritual writer Steve McIntosh discusses his journey from the progressive spirituality scene of the 70s into the Spiral Dynamics and Integral scenes of the 90s and early 2000s, then his own philosophical development from there into the emerging forms that evolutionary spirituality is taking today. In the middle of all that, we go deep into the different approaches the current scene is exploring in terms of re-thinking value and meaning as intrinsic aspects of reality, comparing perspectives on this important topic. The conversation concludes with an assessment of the still rather fractured state of the contemporary movement and the imagined benefits of pluralistic cooperation toward shared goals of cultural transformation. 0:00 Introduction1:40 Steve's Story up to Integral Consciousness (2007)11:43 Steve's Story from Then to Now21:29 The Nature of the Emerging Worldview25:01 Value vs. Entropy in Cosmic Evolution36:24 The Metaphysics of Meaning: What is the Origin of Value?45:46 Transcendent vs. Immanent, Static vs. Relational Accounts54:48 The Evolution of Evolutionary Spirituality1:07:22 Conclusion To hear more, visit brendangrahamdempsey.substack.com

Host Ben Plumley welcomes Professor Heidi Larson (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine) and Dr. Mark Anderson (Pattern Computer/Strategic News Service) to discuss innovation and equity in global health through the lens of “entropy” as chaos in human and data systems. Larson reflects on vaccine confidence as a window into societal trust in government, science, technology, and information, and announces a new Lancet Commission on rethinking misinformation, health, and human security. Anderson explains pattern-based, hypothesis-free discovery, critiques large language models as probabilistic and untrustworthy for life‑critical medical decisions and emphasizes explainable AI. They explore how rapid technological and social change, emotional determinants of health, and social media contribute to fragmentation, and outline plans to collaborate on macro-level patterns driving trust and misinformation while expanding access to Pattern's discovery tools through international programs. 00:00 Welcome and Theme 01:01 Meet Heidi Larson 03:52 Meet Mark Anderson 05:42 How They Connected 09:48 Defining Entropy 12:18 Why AI Is Untrustworthy 14:53 Heidi on Life Imbalance 19:19 Mark Pattern Thinking 23:05 Pattern Discovery Example 23:41 Gene Pattern Breakthrough 24:39 Least Action Across History 26:21 Rethinking Misinformation Systems 31:53 Macro Patterns vs Specialization 34:22 Explainable AI for Humans 35:43 Vaccine Confidence Signals 42:23 Predictions and Broken Patterns 43:49 Collaboration Plans Ahead 45:49 Global Discovery Program Rollout 48:06 Trust and Communication Wrap 49:33 Closing Credits and Thanks Pattern Computer https://www.patterncomputer.com Strategic News Service https://www.stratnews.com Check Out Ben's Substack: https://substack.com/@benplumley1 Join the Conversation!

Many Christian men, leaders, husbands, fathers, entrepreneurs, and ministry leaders are building their lives while ignoring the warning signs that something is breaking underneath the surface. Your marriage may be sending signals. Your body may be sounding alarms. Your business, soul, emotions, and leadership may already be showing signs of collapse, but without self-awareness, you keep calling it normal life. In this episode, Tim Holloway exposes the danger of clueless leadership and why the most dangerous leader is the one who cannot see himself. This conversation is about spiritual awareness, emotional maturity, leadership formation, Christian men's growth, marriage health, business leadership, fatherhood, soul care, and learning to pray the dangerous prayer from Psalm 139: Search me, O God. You will learn why gifted leaders still fall, why success does not equal maturity, why warning signs matter, and why God uses pressure, pain, and deficiency to reveal what needs healing. This is stage one of becoming a formed man: waking up from cluelessness and finally seeing what you have refused to face. You'll learn why leaders often confuse gifting, calling, charisma, or business success with true spiritual and emotional maturity. You'll discover how cluelessness shows up in marriage, fatherhood, health, leadership, money, ministry, and personal patterns. You'll see why warning signs often appear long before collapse, and how ignoring them creates deeper emotional and spiritual ruts. You'll understand why the prayer Search me, O God is the starting point for self-awareness, surrender, healing, and mature Christian leadership. 00:00 Intro: The most dangerous leader01:59 Warning signs in marriage, health, business, and soul03:31 The Titanic syndrome and ignored alarms05:09 Cluelessness, patterns, and pre-contemplation06:45 Why we keep repeating the same cycles08:47 Entropy: what happens when life is left alone11:25 Psalm 139 and the prayer for awareness14:52 How unconscious programming shapes your life16:17 The money tree and living on autopilot20:06 Personal stories of collapse and warning signs23:32 Self-awareness begins with surrender25:12 Are you truly awake?26:32 Samson: power without self-awareness28:27 Why gifted leaders collapse32:38 A.W.

In this episode, Stewart Alsop sits down with Aaron Lowry, founder of Circulatory Fidelity, to dig into some genuinely mind-bending territory — from Aaron's framework for measuring load-bearing dependencies between things, to the multi-agent AI lab he's built to do cross-domain scientific research, to the surprising parallels between entropy, ontology, and hand-wrapping a wiring harness on a vintage car. They also get into abductive reasoning, the problem of combinatorial explosion, why consensus is the secret engine of civilization, and what it actually means to build a system with an explicit ontology versus just winging it. Check out Aaron's work at circulatoryfidelity.com.Timestamps00:00 — Aaron explains his framework of abduction as a third mode of reasoning alongside induction and deduction, describing his approach as "cataloging shadows" of things we can observe but not yet define.05:00 — The conversation shifts to consensus mechanisms, measurement systems, and how shared definitions in language and commerce reduce friction in civilized society.10:00 — Stewart and Aaron discuss communication loss in human language, how close-knit groups develop lower-loss protocols, and the parallel to business relationships and trust.15:00 — Aaron breaks down Circulatory Fidelity as an algebraic measuring tool for load-bearing dependencies between things, connecting it to relevance realization and combinatorial explosion.20:00 — Aaron describes his multi-agent AI lab, including domain tiers, inter-domain translation using semiotics, and how he coined the term complexity to replace the ambiguous word "synergy."25:00 — Discussion of ontologies, Poincaré discs, and how Aaron's lab explicitly structures relational primacy versus reductionism through a theology agent and an adversary agent.30:00 — Aaron walks through how his agents manage circulatoryfidelity.com and how the adversary functions as a generative tension mechanism against overclaiming.35:00 — The episode closes on Aaron's work in vintage car restoration, tying craftsmanship, wiring harnesses, and the philosophy of participatory creation back to his broader research posture.Key InsightsAbductive reasoning is the overlooked third pillar alongside induction and deduction. Drawn from C.S. Peirce, it works with less firm structures — more intuitive, more shadow-tracking — and Aaron sees it as the right tool for discovering patterns that conventional scientific measurement tends to miss.Cheap factorization is powerful but dangerous. Most of reality can be broken into parts and measured accurately, but some things lose all their relevant information the moment you separate them. Knowing which is which is the whole game.Consensus is infrastructure. From a gram to a traffic light to a shared definition, civilization runs on agreed-upon measurements. The moment consensus breaks down — as the French discovered after their revolution — entire systems become unstable and costly to operate.Constraints are affordances. Entropy and gravity aren't just limitations — they're the ground on which everything is built. Aaron argues that persistent laws of nature are tools, and ignoring them doesn't make them go away, it just makes your model wrong.Ontology is always present, whether you name it or not. Every agent, every system, every framework has one built in. The question is only whether you've made it explicit and intentional — or left it implicit and unexamined.Generative tension is a design principle. Aaron built an adversary agent specifically to challenge overclaims in his lab, mirroring the way opposing forces in nature and tradition keep systems honest and prevent overfitting to comfortable conclusions.Creation is participatory. Whether wrapping a wiring harness for fifty hours or building an agent network, Aaron sees making things as an active, relational process — posture, attention, and intent are what turn potential into reality.

Savage introduces the concept of "suicidal entropy," which he describes as growing psychological and social instability caused by uncertainty, information overload, and cultural erosion. He argues the West is being undermined by mass immigration and New World Order forces. In response to the shocking Belfast beheading attack, Savage blasts leftwing radicals for their suicidal policies. He condemns liberal institutions for the invasion of Western nations. He concludes with a discussion about the rise in violent crime and chaos in cities as a consequence of reduced punishment and liberal policies.
