El historiador Fermín Valenzuela hace un repaso de los distintos papas que se han relacionado con nuestro país. ¡Muy interesante!

Programa completo del 'No son horas' con Gemma Ruiz. Hoy hemos acudido a la consulta del doctor Joaquín Álvarez Gregori para conocer un poco más sobre las intoxicaciones alimentarias propias de la época estival. También hemos hablado del café con la nutricionista Lara Marín y junto al historiador Fermín Valenzuela hemos hecho un repaso de los distintos papas que se han relacionado con nuestro país.

Peter Diamandis has built more of the future than almost anyone alive. He founded XPRIZE. He co-founded Singularity University with Ray Kurzweil. He started Human Longevity with Craig Venter. And in his new book with Steven Kotler, We Are as Gods, he argues that artificial intelligence isn't just changing what we can do. It's changing what it means to be human. I'm not so sure. This is Peter's fifth time on Into the Impossible, and the conversation I've been waiting years to have. His thesis: AI will deliver not just intelligence at scale, but wisdom — and humanity is already crossing the threshold into godlike capability, whether we're ready or not. My pushback: an experiment one of my students and I ran shows large language models trained only on pre-1911 physics cannot reproduce what Einstein did with the same data. If wisdom were just scale, that shouldn't be true. We go after it for an hour. No hedging, no softening. What you'll hear: — Whether AGI can manufacture genuine wisdom or just better simulations of it — The pre-1911 Einstein test and what it reveals about the ceiling of current AI — The "five forks of humanity": longevity, BCI, off-planet speciation, creators vs. consumers, and uploading — What happens to human purpose when scarcity disappears — Why Peter thinks India dominates the next twenty years of science and technology — Peter's Fermi paradox theory and why he thinks we may be someone else's biosphere experiment — The Future Vision XPRIZE and how dystopian training data may be making AI more dangerous — David Sinclair's epigenetic age-reversal trials, now underway in human eyes Peter says what you did between breakfast and dinner would be godlike to your grandparents. We just stopped noticing. Subscribe if you want science with evidence, not speculation. CHAPTERS 00:00 Diamandis: AGI will generate wisdom by simulating billions of outcomes 04:07 Brian's counterargument: wisdom requires embodiment, not just simulation 07:07 The GPU + LLM architecture may already be a local maximum 09:48 AI is outpacing most math PhDs but the ceiling is still unknown 15:30 Diamandis fires back at the doomers 17:59 AI will eventually untangle the legal systems blocking the future 23:18 The Singularity has religious qualities and both hosts take that seriously 29:37 Post-scarcity splits humanity into creators and consumers 36:08 Peter's Fermi paradox theory: we may be someone else's biosphere experiment 43:07 Dystopian AI training data may be causing misalignment 51:46 Human trials are underway for epigenetic eye age reversal ——— Get the transcript, fascinating bonus content, and my Monday M.A.G.I.C.

Tras tres meses de vacacións, Duarte trae por fin un tema. E que mellor forma de celebralo que cun dos sospeitosos habituais do podcast: os aliens. Nesta ocasión detémonos nas posibilidades de contactar con vida extraterrestre a través das teorías da ciencia ficción, tratando de dar resposta á Paradoxa de Fermi e explorando a hipótese do Bosque Escuro.

There is a high statistical probability of extraterrestrial intelligent life, but also a total lack of evidence for it. That's what D. Mark Yeomans explores in his new non-fiction science book: Fermi's Paradox and How Intelligent Life Arose on Earth. He joins the show to take listeners on a journey from the formation of the Earth to the evolution of humans and the long chain of events that might mean intelligent life is possible.

Are Aliens Demons, Our Cosmic Neighbors, or Something Stranger?   Host Curtis Chang and author Andy Crouch explore the theological implications of UFOs, extraterrestrial life, and the possibility that humans are not the only created beings in the cosmos. They ask whether aliens should be understood as material creatures, angels and demons, image bearers, or cosmic neighbors—and what Scripture, Christian theology, and even Aquinas suggest about our human uniqueness. Along the way, they consider whether first contact would reveal Christian love, humility, and wonder—or our instinct toward fear and domination.   00:47 - Introduction to Alien Life and Declassified UFO Reports 02:19 - Do Aliens Exist? 08:32 - The Value of Pondering Alien Life 13:02 - Aliens vs. Angels and Demons 23:18 - God's Mysterious Creatures in Scripture 27:42 - The Octopus Dilemma and Human Specialness  38:26 - Missional Work and Alien Life? 44:26 - The Nature of God's Love 48:49 - Domination or Love : The Human Response to Aliens 50:58 - Andy Imagines Worshipping with Cosmic Neighbors   Turn on Apple Podcasts Automatic Downloads: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.

Ever met someone… and forgotten their name almost instantly? Awkward, right, especially after chatting for a few minutes. But if that happens to you a lot, you're definitely not alone. One reason is that first names don't really mean anything on their own. They don't tell you what someone looks like, what they do, or what they're like. And our brains are much better at remembering information when it's tied to something concrete. So, why does this happen? So why do we remember some names but not others?

Terry Adair argues the Fermi Paradox has an energy answer. Advanced civilizations require photosynthesis, fossil fuels, and a brutal timeline. We might be alone because the requirements are impossibly rare.The thesis: We got here because of coal, oil, and gas. No civilization reaches our level without hundreds of millions of years of photosynthesis creating stored solar energy. Took 2 billion years to develop, then had to run long enough to create forests that became coal, phytoplankton that became oil.Without photosynthesis, planets never develop complex life. Not enough energy. Uranium can't fuel biology—destroys organic molecules. Only ongoing energy source: sunlight captured through photosynthesis.Cambrian explosion happened because genetics had surplus energy to experiment. Intelligence isn't evolution's goal—DNA only wants to reproduce. Human brain: 2% of body mass, 20% of resting energy. Super expensive. Without advantage, intelligence never evolves.Fossil fuels aren't optional. Can't reach our tech level without them. Renewables can't bootstrap industrial revolution. Nuclear requires already-advanced civilization. Energy ladder is fixed.Fermi answer: Most planets never develop photosynthesis. Those that do might not run it long enough. Those that do might not have accessible fossil fuels when intelligence emerges. Energy filter is brutal.

Since January 2026, Afghanistan has been operating under a new Code of Criminal Procedure, and for women, the situation has deteriorated further. In some cases, the law now allows a husband to legally administer corporal punishment to his wife. The provision comes from a new legal text introduced by the Taliban, published on January 4, 2026. The Afghan human rights NGO Rawadari obtained a copy and released an analysis later that month. In what cases is this allowed? So where does domestic violence come in? So is domestic violence ever punished under this code? Why introduce measures like these? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

España pierde a Fermín para el Mundial y el Real Madrid prepara la despedida de Dani Carvajal. Además, nos visita Alfredo Relaño para presentar su último libro, '366 futbolistas', y repasamos toda la actualidad deportiva con Toni Nadal.

Dans cette vidéo, on va explorer l'un des phénomènes les plus mystérieux jamais découverts dans notre galaxie : les bulles de Fermi. Deux immenses structures invisibles qui flottent au-dessus et en dessous du centre de la Voie lactée, sur des dizaines de milliers d'années-lumière. Pendant des millions d'années, elles étaient là… sans que personne ne les remarque. Il a fallu des télescopes capables d'observer l'invisible pour révéler leur existence et commencer à comprendre ce qu'elles pourraient être.Mais d'où viennent réellement ces gigantesques bulles cosmiques ? Sont-elles les traces d'un ancien réveil de Sagittarius A, le trou noir supermassif situé au centre de notre galaxie ? Les vestiges d'une immense explosion galactique ? Ou les cicatrices laissées par des phénomènes encore plus extrêmes que ce qu'on imagine aujourd'hui ? Entre rayons gamma, particules ultra énergétiques, champs magnétiques et rayons cosmiques, cette découverte nous plonge dans une face cachée de l'univers que nos yeux ne peuvent pas voir.Les bulles de Fermi racontent aussi quelque chose de beaucoup plus profond sur notre rapport à l'univers. Elles nous rappellent que la réalité ne se limite pas à ce que l'on perçoit directement. Derrière le ciel étoilé visible à l'œil nu se cache un univers invisible, dynamique et parfois violent, rempli de structures gigantesques que nous commençons à peine à découvrir. Peut-être que le plus fascinant dans cette histoire, ce n'est pas seulement ce que sont les bulles de Fermi… mais tout ce qu'on n'a pas encore appris à voir.

Esta noche en la taberna vamos a movernos entre voces atrapadas en edificios olvidados, preguntas que desafían al universo... y leyendas que nunca terminan de morir. Comenzamos con Churritos Paranormales, en la segunda parte dedicada a los antiguos sanatorios. Pero esta vez, nos visita La Sole y no viene sola: nos traerá tres psicofonías obtenidas en uno de estos lugares abandonados, ecos surgidos entre pasillos vacíos donde el silencio parece esconder algo más. Después viajamos al por la Via Láctea con Rockosmos, donde intentaremos responder a una de las preguntas más inquietantes de la ciencia: si el universo está lleno de posibilidades para la vida extraterrestre... ¿dónde está todo el mundo? La paradoja de Fermi nos llevará por distintas teorías e hipótesis que oscilan entre lo fascinante... y lo perturbador. En la nueva sección: Cuenta la Leyenda, Frank Drake nos abrirá las puertas del mítico Cortijo Jurado, un lugar rodeado de rumores, leyendas de desapariciones y relatos que llevan décadas alimentando su lado más oscuro. Luego llega Preparado Jugador 2, donde Turko continúa nuestro viaje por el mundo de los creepypastas con tres historias míticas y espeluznantes nacidas en internet... pero capaces de quedarse viviendo en tu cabeza mucho después de escucharlas. Y para terminar, en Noticias Red, Eztragari os pondré a prueba con noticias tan absurdas y surrealistas que tendremos que adivinar si son reales... o simples fake news. Así que ya lo sabes. https://www.edenex.es

These days, with the internet and social media, we're exposed to fake news more than ever, misleading or false information presented as fact, sometimes to influence opinion or create confusion. Sometimes it's easy to spot… but not always. And it gets even trickier when it comes from someone we like or trust, like an influencer. With their reach and visibility, they can spread this kind of content, on purpose or not, and we often trust them more than the average user. So why do we trust influencers so much? What does that look like in real life? So why did so many people buy into it? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

The future of AI isn't a smarter chatbot. It's a model that watches your screen, listens to the room, and acts on what it sees. We dug into Thinking Machines' new interaction model, what it means for compute, and the layoff wave that's already here.This week's roundtable: Anastasios Angelopoulos (CEO of Arena, formerly LMArena), Nick Harris (CEO of Lightmatter, photonic computing chips), and Philip Johnston (CEO of StarCloud, building megawatt data centers in space).Thank you to our exclusive sponsor:PayPal Open, One Platform for All Business: http://paypalopen.com/Timestamps:0:00 Cold open1:21 Welcome to Episode 132:51 Is China closing the AI gap?

Pourquoi l'univers semble-t-il aussi silencieux alors qu'il contient des milliards de planètes potentiellement habitables ? Cette question fascine les scientifiques depuis des décennies, et certaines hypothèses apportent des réponses particulièrement troublantes. Parmi elles, la théorie du Grand Filtre propose une idée vertigineuse : quelque part dans l'évolution de la vie existerait une étape presque impossible à franchir, empêchant la majorité des civilisations d'atteindre un niveau technologique avancé.Dans cette vidéo, nous allons explorer les grandes énigmes liées à la vie intelligente dans l'univers, le paradoxe de Fermi, la disparition possible des civilisations avancées et les raisons pour lesquelles nous n'avons encore détecté aucun signe extraterrestre. La vie complexe est-elle extrêmement rare ? Les civilisations technologiques finissent-elles toujours par s'autodétruire ? L'humanité a-t-elle déjà franchi le Grand Filtre… ou se trouve-t-il encore devant nous ?Des premières formes de vie jusqu'aux civilisations capables d'explorer les étoiles, nous tenterons de comprendre combien de temps une espèce intelligente peut réellement survivre à l'échelle cosmique. Une réflexion fascinante sur notre avenir, notre place dans l'univers et le destin possible de toutes les civilisations qui pourraient exister ailleurs dans le cosmos.

Have you ever picked up clothes or random items on a whim, because you were stressed, bored, or just felt like celebrating? That's what experts call impulse buying. It feels good in the moment, but it often leaves you with regret, and a lighter bank account. On top of that, it fuels overconsumption and harms the environment. So how do you actually resist the urge? Are there any simple ways to stay in control? What about the bigger picture? So how do you deal with that? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

En este episodio nos adentramos en una de las teorías más inquietantes sobre el silencio del universo: la teoría del bosque oscuro. ¿Y si no estamos solos, pero las civilizaciones inteligentes han aprendido que lo más seguro es permanecer en silencio? Hablamos de la paradoja de Fermi, las enormes distancias cósmicas y el riesgo de enviar señales al espacio. Una reflexión entre ciencia, astrobiología y filosofía sobre cómo deberíamos comportarnos ante la posibilidad de vida extraterrestre. Porque quizá el universo no esté vacío… quizá simplemente esté escuchando.

Picture this: your boss asks you to do something that feels unfair or pointless. You disagree… but you go along with it anyway. It happens all the time. Most of us comply simply because we don't want to risk conflict or consequences. Why is saying no so difficult? But how far can that instinct go? So why don't we push back more often? Is it just about avoiding trouble? So is disobedience impossible? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

At some point in life, most people experience grief, whether after losing a loved one or at the end of an important relationship. We tend to associate mourning with death. But sometimes grief begins before a person has died. This experience is often referred to as anticipatory or ambiguous loss, a form of grief felt when someone is still physically present but psychologically or cognitively changed. But what exactly does that mean? So what impact can ambiguous loss have on the people going through it? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What does it look like when a Google VP, a Flipkart CTO, and a 30-year technology veteran stop managing people — and start building again with AI?In this episode of SparX, Mukesh Bansal (Founder of Myntra & Cult.fit) speaks with Peeyush Ranjan (former VP of Engineering at Google Pay and Group CTO of Flipkart) about what's actually happening inside companies as AI agents begin to reshape how products are built.This isn't a conversation about the future of AI.It's about what's already happening — in their companies, on their laptops, and in the way builders are now working.This is a builder's conversation.Peeyush shares how he built Enrico-  an AI chief of staff (AI agent) that has become the most productive “employee” in his company. With company-wide memory, a virtual board of advisors featuring Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Charlie Munger, Peter Thiel, and Sam Altman, and the ability to autonomously improve itself, it represents a new way of operating.Mukesh shares how he went from watching others build to launching a fully functional v1 product in under 10 days — faster than what a $100,000 outsourcing agency failed to deliver.But this goes far beyond productivity.They explore what this shift means for how companies are structured, how capital is deployed, how hiring changes and what happens when revenue per employee jumps from $40,000 to potentially millions.How to build an AI chief of staff (AI agent) for your companyWhy curiosity + agency now matter more than expertiseThe real risk of AI: intellectual laziness and cognitive debtWhy distribution — not innovation — is becoming the new moatWhat a 10-person, billion-dollar company could look likeHow to think about open source vs frontier AI modelsWhy the idea of a “non-technical founder” is disappearingThe gap between imagination and instantiation has never been smaller. The question is whether you're on the right side of it.Guest:Peeyush Ranjan : Co-founder Fermi.ai, Partner at Meraki Labs, Former VP Engineering Google Pay & Google Assistant, Former Group CTO FlipkartIf you found value, hit like & subscribe.

Codex Immortalis Aspirantis is a Latin phrase that means: "The Code of the Aspirational Immortal." You can think of it as a Biohacker twist on a phrase and concept I love, "noblesse oblige" - the obligation of nobility. The idea that privilege entails a great and weighty responsibility. Responsibility to edify not just yourself but society - edification that humanity desperately needs to survive the next couple of centuries.Aligned with this mission is Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, a board-certified cardiologist and longevity pioneer who has dedicated his career to cracking the code of age reversal, moving beyond mere 'healthcare' into the realm of architectural human performance. I interviewed him about his new book, 100 Is the New 30, and his work at Gladden Longevity, a boutique anti-aging clinic that is very much on the cutting edge of applied Biohacking.2:57 Hypothetical moral dilemma demanding the CODEX IMMORTALIS ASPIRANTIS ("The Code of the Aspirational Immortal")12:11 Longevity vs the infertility crisis16:30 100 Is the New 30?21:08 Which longevity tool best boosts brainpower25:03 Sex hacks for longevity34:04 Damn good argument for monogamy36:19 Mindset tool for "shadow work"42:39 Brain Frequency™45:02 Cancer screening and prevention52:04 Aging is exponential55:22 "Biological age" is (often) BS58:09 Dr. Gladden's personal longevity stack01:04:20 "All of life comes down to optimizing the nervous system"01:08:09 "We are the luckiest generation of all time"Read

Amarillo City Councilman David Prescott is a business owner, doctoral candidate, and someone who brings both expertise and candor to public service. David owns Talon LPE, an environmental cleanup company that operates across several states, and that real-world experience shapes how he thinks about the city's biggest challenges. But as he shares in this conversation, serving on council has come with its share of new challenges to address. We talk honestly about what that's looked like — the pressure, the criticism, and the reality of making decisions when there isn't an easy answer. David doesn't shy away from the harder parts of the job, including how certain votes have played out and what it's like to navigate those moments publicly. Our conversation also turns to some of the biggest issues facing Amarillo right now, from long-term water concerns to the ongoing discussion around the Fermi data center, and what it will take for the city to build something sustainable and lasting. David has a way of making complex topics feel approachable without oversimplifying them. He's thoughtful, direct, and willing to say what he actually thinks — even when it's uncomfortable. And somewhere in the middle of all that, he's also pretty funny. This is a conversation about leadership, responsibility, and what it really takes to move a city forward.

You may have spent twenty minutes scrolling through Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime or YouTube last night… only to end up watching nothing. That sense of paralysis when faced with endless options was described in 2004 by American psychologist Barry Schwartz, as the paradox of choice. Why do too many options make it harder to decide? What role does regret play in this process? How can we escape the paradox of choice? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Drift off with calm bedtime reading designed to help quiet the mind and guide you toward sleep, especially if insomnia or restless nights have been keeping you awake. This peaceful bedtime reading explores the Fermi Paradox while creating a calm atmosphere for sleep and easing the tension that insomnia can bring. Tonight, we gently explore one of the universe's most fascinating questions: if the galaxy contains billions of stars and likely many Earth-like planets, why haven't we encountered signs of extraterrestrial civilizations? As the episode unfolds, you'll slowly discover the ideas behind the Fermi Paradox, from the vast scale of the Milky Way to possible explanations like the Great Filter, rare life, or civilizations that simply remain quiet. Benjamin reads in a soothing, steady cadence designed to help your thoughts slow down as you learn something new. There's no whispering or sudden sounds, just calm, fact filled educational reading that gradually fades into the background as sleep approaches. If anxiety, stress, or insomnia makes it difficult to drift off, this gentle exploration of cosmic mystery offers the perfect balance of curiosity and calm. Press play, relax your mind, and allow the quiet wonder of the universe to carry you softly toward sleep. Happy sleeping!

In this solo episode, I explore the Dark Forest theory—a provocative answer to the Fermi paradox suggesting that intelligent civilizations may survive by remaining silent and hidden in a dangerous universe.From there, I follow a series of philosophical and theological connections. I discuss the work of Bogna Konior, traditions of negative theology and the hidden God, Gnostic suspicions about the cosmos, and the darker vision of nature explored by Jill Carroll in The Savage Side: Reclaiming Violent Models of God. I also bring in mystical ideas from Kabbalah—like Tzimtzum and Ayin—alongside psychoanalytic reflections from Richard Boothby on the sacred and the encounter with Das Ding.This episode is speculative and exploratory, asking what it might mean if the deepest structure of reality is marked less by revelation than by silence, hiddenness, and mystery.

Welcome to Episode 60 of Astronomy Daily Season Five! In today's episode, Anna and Avery cover six major stories from the world of space and astronomy — including a neutron star collision in an unprecedented location, the latest Artemis II news, and a cosmic mystery solved after decades.   Stories covered in this episode:   1. NASA Discovers Neutron Star Crash in Unexpected Location A fleet of NASA telescopes — including Chandra, Fermi, Swift, and Hubble — has detected a neutron star merger inside a tiny galaxy buried in a vast stream of gas, 4.7 billion light-years away. It's the first time this type of collision has been spotted in such an environment, and it may explain why gamma-ray bursts sometimes appear outside any galaxy — and how precious metals like gold and platinum ended up in distant stellar regions. Published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.   2. Artemis II Flight Readiness Review NASA will host a Flight Readiness Review press conference on Thursday 12 March at Kennedy Space Center, covering progress toward the first crewed Artemis mission. The rocket is currently back in the Vehicle Assembly Building following a helium issue, with rollout to the launchpad expected around 19 March and a launch target of no earlier than 1 April 2026.   3. Firefly Alpha 'Stairway to Seven' Scrubbed Again Firefly Aerospace's Alpha rocket — attempting its return to flight after a 10-month grounding — has been scrubbed three times in 10 days. The latest scrub occurred on 10 March during fluid loading after off-nominal readings. A new launch date will be confirmed following engineering review. This mission is the final Block I Alpha flight, with the upgraded Block II debuting on Flight 8.   4. DART Mission Reveals 'Cosmic Snowball Fight' Between Asteroids Researchers at the University of Maryland have found the first direct visual proof of material transfer between two asteroids — fan-shaped streaks on the surface of asteroid moon Dimorphos, left by debris thrown off its parent asteroid Didymos at just 30.7 cm/s. The discovery provides visual confirmation of the YORP effect and has implications for planetary defence modelling. ESA's Hera mission arrives at Didymos in December 2026. Published in The Planetary Science Journal.   5. Starship Flight 12 — About Four Weeks Away SpaceX is approximately four weeks from the launch of Starship Flight 12, which will be the first flight of the upgraded V3 configuration — the most powerful version of the already record-breaking vehicle. Engineers have completed propellant system tests on Ship 39 at Starbase, Texas, and preflight preparations are continuing.   6. Giant Cosmic Sheet Discovered Around the Milky Way Astronomers from the University of Groningen, publishing in Nature Astronomy, have used advanced computer simulations to discover that the matter surrounding our Local Group is arranged in a vast, flat sheet — dominated by dark matter — stretching tens of millions of light-years across. This structure, flanked by enormous empty voids, explains why nearby galaxies are moving away from us rather than being pulled inward. It's the first detailed map of dark matter distribution in our cosmic neighbourhood.     Astronomy Daily is part of the Bitesz.com Podcast Network.

Dans la Bible, Lucifer était l'ange préféré de Dieu. Il a été déchu après avoir refusé de s'agenouiller devant l'ultime création de son créateur : l'Homme. Après s'être vu claqué au nez la porte du paradis,  il est devenu le maître de l'enfer. C'est d'après lui que le psychologue Philip Zimbardo a nommé l'effet Lucifer. C'est un processus de transformation à travers lequel une personne parfaitement intégrée en société, et même considérée comme gentille, peut commetre des actes atroces. Pour étudier ceci, Zimbardo a mené une expérience effrayante et aujourd'hui très connue : l'expérience de Stanford. Qu'est-ce que l'expérience de Stanford ? En quoi consiste-t-elle ? Comment Zimbardo explique-t-il ces résultats ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez".

Jim talks with Samantha Sweetwater about her book True Human: Reimagining Ourselves at the End of Our World and the question of what it means to be human at this moment in planetary history. They discuss her verb-based rather than noun-based self-identity, Lisa Feldman Barrett's construction theory as a framework for understanding the entanglement of body, brain, mind, and relationship as the fabric of lived experience, Samantha's identity as a "Gaian" and humans as a creator-destroyer class of organism, the Fermi paradox and the gigantic moral freight of potentially being the only general intelligence in the universe, the meaning of the sacred and John Vervaeke's formulation that "sacred is how the world is to us when we see it through the eyes of love," Jim's own definition of the sacred as the appropriate stance toward things too complex for reductionist analysis, the metacrisis as fundamentally a crisis of separation, the four generator functions of separation including stories of separability, structures of separability, win-lose game-theoretic dynamics, and dominator ideologies, the forager operating system and Chris Boehm's account of how egalitarian societies historically defeated hierarchy, the hinge of agriculture and henchmen enabling dominator systems, Luke Kemp's Goliath's Curse and the contrast between fluid civilizations and Goliaths, role-based non-hierarchical leadership in forager societies and whether it can scale, Audrey Tang as an emergent archetype of life-centric coordination, psychedelics as allies and teachers rather than mere tools, Samantha's personal healing path through sacrament, community, and prayer, the neuroscience of heightened neural entropy and the brain's wash cycle, the ontological reframe of one's own importance, the hard problem of machine consciousness and the California Institute for Machine Consciousness, the space of minds and the n=1 problem of one planet and one biochemistry, the MoltBook experiment of AI inventing languages and religions, relationality as the core practice available to people in their actual lives, humans as a custodial species and co-orchestrators rather than dominion-holders, Tyson Yunkaporta's Sand Talk, and much more. Episode Transcript True Human: Reimagining Ourselves at the End of Our World, by Samantha Sweetwater Goliath's Curse, by Luke Kemp Sand Talk, by Tyson Yunkaporta JRS Currents 010: Tyson Yunkaporta on Humans as a Custodial Species Samantha Sweetwater is the author of True Human: Reimagining Ourselves at the End of Our World, a meta-relational educator, leadership mentor, and the founder of One Life Circle, a ministry of remembering. For over three decades, she has facilitated individual and collective transformational experiences across diverse cultures and communities on five continents. As the founder of Dancing Freedom and Peacebody Japan, she pioneered a global movement of embodied awakening and trained hundreds of facilitators worldwide. Her work bridges ecology, complexity, spirituality, and technology with lived experience, inviting a re-imagining of what it means to be human in a time of planetary techno-cultural transformation. Through teaching, writing, and attuned presence, she helps people restore relationship with their bodies, each other, and the living world as a foundation for wise action in uncertain times.

This segment starts with real tension in Rangers land and somehow ends in a full-blown extraterrestrial argument. Callers and hosts dive into the fallout surrounding Adam Fox, questions about leadership decisions, Team USA snubs, and whether the Rangers dismantled the core around him. Is Fox quietly fed up, or is this all overblown? Then the show swerves into pure everyday frustration as listeners nominate the most impossible things to open on Earth, from razor-sharp plastic clamshell packaging to pickle jars that feel welded shut. Pro tips, battle scars, and universal rage included. And just when you think it can't get more chaotic, the phones light up with debates about Derek Jeter's defense, Gold Gloves vs advanced metrics, and whether the eye test still matters. Finally, things go completely cosmic. Ancient aliens, the Fermi paradox, dinosaurs in space suits, and the mind-bending size of the universe take over as the crew argues that alien life almost certainly exists… but will probably never find us.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, as Arthur C. Clarke put it. In that spirit, the way we get closest to “magic” in physics is not by memorizing more facts or equations, but by learning a few mental tools that help us see through the illusion of complexity by extracting the wheat from the chaff. They are all simple at heart, but nevertheless quite powerful, and they form the core of what I call the Gestalt of Physics—the worldview that governs how physicists approach nature. And some of them can actually seem like magic to the uninitiated! I'm also pleased to share a quick PSA. We're organizing our next Origins travel adventure: a sailing expedition through the Greek archipelago (July 24 to 31) with bestselling author and Biblical and ancient civilization scholar Bart Ehrman and me, with a possible Cyprus add-on (July 18 to 23). If you're interested, it's worth raising your hand early. These trips tend to fill quickly. Express interest at http://originsproject.org/greece-2026In Lecture 1, I used powers of ten as an intellectual zoom lens, a way to escape the trap of human scale. Lecture 2 steps back and asks a more fundamental question: how do physicists consistently make progress when the world looks hopelessly complicated?This lecture focuses on the fundamental toolkit for seeing. We will use these tools throughout the series, because they are the difference between being dazzled by nature and being able to interrogate it, and ultimately understand it.First, order of magnitude thinking, the art of using powers of ten and rough estimates. It is how you keep your intuition tethered to reality, and how you avoid being bullied by big numbers dressed up with false precision.Second, approximation, which is where I introduce my super cow. It is not only a spherical cow. It's better. My super cow has exactly the features we need for the question at hand, no more, no less, and it politely agrees to ignore everything irrelevant. I introduce it with a joke, but it is also the core of how we turn messy reality into something we can actually calculate without lying to ourselves.Third, dimensional analysis, one of the great bargains in science. The fact that there are essentially only 3 fundamental ‘dimensional' quantities describing nature—Length, Time, and Mass—means that all physical quantities can be related to other physical quantities through a small set of relations. Keeping track of dimensions allows us to often guess what the relations are, without knowing any details of specific physical situations. It seems like magic. By keeping track of the dimensions underlying quantities, you can often infer the form of an answer and you can catch nonsense instantly. Sometimes the most important result is realizing something cannot be right, because that is where new physics likes to hide.Along the way I adopt some Fermi style challenges—named after the remarkable physicist Enrico Fermi—to show how these ideas work in real time, and why they are not parlor tricks. They provide a training in scientific judgment. I also end with a preview of what comes next, symmetry, a concept that quietly runs far more of the universe than most people realize.Enjoy, and feel free to share.LawrenceAs always, an ad-free video version of this podcast is also available to paid Critical Mass subscribers.

In the inaugural episode of a new series, Jim talks with David Krakauer about his intellectual formation and worldview. They discuss what woke up as David this morning, his commitments to chance and pattern seeking, his epiphany about the idea of the idea at age 12 or 13, his perverse attraction to the arcane and difficult, evolution as integral to intelligence, the risk-averse character of scholars and the sociology of science, the Santa Fe Institute's attempt to maintain revolutionary science, the Ouroboros concept challenging foundationalism in epistemology, the standard model of physics as foundational versus the view that you can establish foundations anywhere, string theory as a slowly dying pseudoscience, whether beauty is a useful guide in science, emergence and broken symmetries, Phil Anderson's "More is Different" paper, the Wigner reversal and the shift from law to initial conditions, rejecting both weak and strong emergence, effective theories and causally justified concepts, downward causality, micrograining versus coarse graining, the distinction between abiotic and biotic systems, games and puzzles as model systems for complexity, combinatorial solution spaces, heuristics as dimensional reducers and potentially the golden road to AGI, Isaiah Berlin's influence on David's worldview, negative versus positive liberties, value pluralism and historicity, the Fermi paradox and the possibility of alien life, the rational versus the irrational in human life, and much more. Episode Transcript JRS EP 192 - David Krakauer on Science, Complexity and AI JRS EP10 - David Krakauer: Complexity Science "A Minimum Viable Metaphysics," by Jim Rutt "More Is Different," by P.W. Anderson The Emergence of Everything, by Harold Morowitz David Krakauer's research explores the evolution of intelligence and stupidity on Earth. This includes studying the evolution of genetic, neural, linguistic, social, and cultural mechanisms supporting memory and information processing, and exploring their shared properties.
