The Fifth Age of the Church TS Wright pt 1 Scott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. Last time, we studied the Fourth Church Age. I'll let Scott give a summary of what we discussed last time… But Scott is helping us to understand each of the different ages of the Church and why they are so significant – especially as we look at the modern day church age with all the societal problems we are facing today. Scott does this by helping us understand the processed that God's Word readily gives us in order to draw closer to him. He has also published a journal called, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God's Word My Ways.” Scott has a goal of launching this series on a large scale, reaching churches and organizations with this curriculum that will change their churches from simple institutions into a “movement.” Amen! He is also a podcaster and has a truly great podcast called, “The God Centered Concept,” as well. You really need to listen – and subscribe – to this podcast… it's amazing… But, more than that, he is also a HUGE student of end time scenarios dealing with the Book of the Revelation, the End of Days and the Seven Ages of the Church. I have asked him to come back on the program today as we continue our series of interviews discussing the Church Ages. Help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright!  Scott, thanks for coming back on as we continue this fabulous discussion of the different church ages. Last time we discussed the Fourth Age of the Church and found out that it was probably one of the most important ages we've studied thus far. Plus it covered almost 1000 years of human history. Share with some of the things that helped to transition from the Fourth Church Age and take us into the Fifth Church Age… What is the Fifth Church Age known for as far as Biblical history goes? Explain what “Humanistic Thinking” is for our audience. I believe we are witnessing a resurgence of this today, don't you think? We covered a little last time, in our discussion of the Fourth Church Age, that “tribalism and feudalism” laid the foundation for the slave trade, especially as it related to America. Can you cover this for us as it relates to the “Fifth Age of the Church?” Folks, there is no doubt that we are living in what Jesus and historical Christian scholars have called, “The End Times.” We are working our way through each of the Church Ages in order to give you a more thorough understanding of how all this fits into what we are witnessing, right  now, all around us. Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Scott Wright today! Amen!

The Fourth Church Age  Scott Wright pt 3 Last time, we studied the Third Church Age. I'll let Scott give a summary of what we discussed, but, basically, this was the age where the Pope and the Catholic church ruled by fear, intimidation and brute force. But, basically, Rome obtain it's power and wealth through the god of force – which is Satan. But, to talk more about this and to discuss the Fourth Age of the Church, Scott Wright is back with us today. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. He does this by helping us understand the processed that God's Word readily gives us in order to draw closer to him.

I have asked him to come on the program today as we continue a series of interviews discussing the Church Ages. This is part three and the conclusion of what turned into a great, THREE PART INTERVIEW! How did the Printing Press impact the spread of the Gospel? Scott, this has been fascinating. What will we be talking about next time? Share with us how someone can reach out to you and get more information on this? And your book, “God Centered Concept Journal: Making God's Word My Ways.”  How can someone obtain a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon? Before we close, share again about your podcast…The God Centered Concept I'll put links to all of this in the show notes below. Folks, there is no doubt that we are living in what Jesus and historical Christian scholars have called, “The End Times.” We are working our way through each of the Church Ages in order to give you a more thorough understanding of how all this fits into what we are witnessing, right  now, all around us. We should not be in a state of fear and trepidation. NO!  We need to be excited! We need to be thanking GOD for the day and time in which we live… Think about like this… as you witness all these things happening around us, don't be filled with fear, but Faith. And, “Look up! For your redemption is drawing near.” Until next time, for Scott Wright and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO! CONTACT INFORMATION:

You share that this church age, the Fourth Church Age, is probably the most significant church age out of them all. Can you share with us “why that is?”  How do you see the end time scenario being played out before us? Are we destined to repeat these church ages, albeit on a smaller scale in our own lives? From 1315-1322 was the Great Famine and then the “Black Death.”  This was just a shadow of what is to come during the “Great Tribulation” where 1/3 of humanity dies. How did the Renaissance impact the Church? How did the Printing Press impact the spread of the Gospel? We are working our way through each of the Church Ages in order to give you a more thorough understanding of how all this fits into what we are witnessing, right  now, all around us.

Our species already has survived three. For millennia we hunted. After the ice, we farmed. For the last eight generations, we manufactured. Our Fourth Age is […] The post Chris Voss Podcast – Our Fourth Age: A village elder's story for young Homines sapientes about surviving their future history by Mr Terry Vernon Thiele appeared first on Chris Voss Official Website.

Andy Elder, President of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh discusses with Debbie Price, Professor of Social Gerontology at The University of Manchester the "fourth age" and how frailty has changed with longevity.    We try to perceive aging positively but are we missing something in the ageing process. We don't like to think of frailty because its not the type of ageing we want to think about ourselves - a fear of decline. While we have seen great gains in extra healthy years, we must also consider that many people do not experience active ageing and these years of decline need attention.    https://thelongevityforum.com

Our Fourth Age: A village elder's story for young Homines sapientes about surviving their future history by Mr Terry Vernon Thiele WHY THIS BOOK? Welcome to our Fourth Age. Our species already has survived three. For millennia we hunted. After the ice, we farmed. For the last eight generations, we manufactured. Our Fourth Age is upon us. We are at teetering on the brink of a technological meta-revolution the likes of which we can scarcely imagine, driven by nanotechnology, synthetic biology, 3D printing, automation, instantaneous-always-on-global communication, artificial intelligence, and cheap ubiquitous off-grid energy, to name just a few of the disruptors. It will redefine everything that we know and do … and may take our jobs. At the same time, we are undergoing societal upheavals on a scale never before seen. For the first time, most of us now live in cities. For the first time, the old outnumber the young. Within our children's lifetimes, global population will peak and then start to decline. Half of all country populations are already declining. And the decline won't stop.... Instinctively we fear the unknown . . . fear chaos. We formed groups that created cultural and societal norms to protect us from that primeval chaos. But all of those norms wither in the blast of the technological and societal changes that are accelerating us into a future our imaginations cannot grasp. For 7,000 generations, since anatomically “modern” humans emerged 200,000 years ago, children could look to their parents and grandparents for life lessons in how to confront the chaos. No more. The yesterday experiences of parents and grandparents will be of little help to today's children in surviving tomorrow's world. Our children have no cultural maps, no societal talismans, to guide them. Which leaves them with only their instincts to confront the chaos. Those instincts were crafted to enable us to survive in a world that we left millennia ago. That long-forgotten world hardwired us to overreact violently when we are frightened. Chaos is frightening. And chaos is about to engulf us. Welcome to our Fourth Age. Do we have the innate capacity to survive what is about to happen to us? This book explores that question for the sake of my grandchildren.

In this episode: Lauren Hawker Zafer is joined by serial entrepreneur, author, technologist, and futurist Byron Reese. Who Can Benefit From This Conversation? This conversation is for anyone who is interested in the impacts of technology, the human psyche and philosophy. It is a conversation that stems from Byron Reese's thought provoking book: The Fourth Age. Lauren talks to Byron about this pivotal point in society and the technologies that are redefining what it means to be human. Byron explains what "how thinking" is and the impact that being a futurist has on how humans learned to see the future and shape it. Byron is a unique conversationalist and brings immediate value to the dialogue. It is definitely worth a listen! Who is Byron? Serial entrepreneur, technologist, and futurist - Byron Reese has enjoyed a wide range of success over 30 years, including two NASDAQ IPOs as well as the sale of the three companies he founded. Byron has spoken around world to both technical and non-technical audiences, and his keynotes and appearances include SXSW, TEDx Austin, Google, Nvidia, FedEx and Fortune 1000 companies (Dell Foundation, Johnson & Johnson, Oticon, Swisslog) and universities Rice (University of Texas, Queen's University, TWU) and futurist conferences (TimeMachine, PICNIC Festival in Amsterdam, Wolfram Data Summit, and the IEEE Conference) among others. He is the former CEO of Gigaom (and is still its primary shareholder) and was the creator / host of the Voices in AI podcast. Byron's previous book, The Fourth Age, was cited by the NYT as one of "Three Books to Consider When the Robots Take Over”. His newest book, “Stories, Dice & Rocks That Think: How Humans Learned to See the Future – And Shape It”, launched internationally from Ben Bella press in August. This new book provides a new look at the history & destiny of humanity, wherein dice teach us about probability, which allows us to accurately predict the future; storytelling allows us to envision the future; and rocks that think - a reference to a computer's CPU - enable us to build the future.

The Fourth Age of Earth is ending and the Fifth Age is Being Born. Those who know predict that it will be an Age of Light where Humanity will once more awaken their latent Spiritual abilities. What are the Signs that this New Age is approaching? The development of Space Travel, Faster than Light Technology, and vast discoveries in the fields of Astronomy, Quantum Physics, DNA research and Fiber Optics are all reflections of this awakening. So is the appearance of our Star Brothers in the skies today as thousands of people have Encounters in countries around the world. Another part of this Reawakening is the discovery of 12,000-year-old cities, Underground Cities in Antarctica and the Rising of Ancient Atlantis. But how do these Cycles of Time work, and how did the Masters encode this information so that those who could read the Secrets would be prepared? How is this connected with discoveries like the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Secret Teachings of Jesus, the Return of the Divine Feminine, and the waves of incoming Indigo and Crystal Children?

We look at the latest book by Byron Reese, whose previous book The Fourth Age we also reviewed for Irish Tech News. See more about Stories, Dice & Rocks That Think here. Stories, Dice & Rocks That Think, reviewed Byron Reese is a good and engaging story teller, as we found from his previous book and so we were interested to review this book also. The first hundred and fifty pages approximately were interesting, but at times it felt like interesting after dinner anecdotes rather than stitching together into a clear narrative driving you to a specific concept or goal. Naturally the title is a strong clue as to where the author is trying to take you, but we just felt it took a slightly longer than expected period of time to get the car running and up to speed. Around the middle of the second hundred pages we felt that the narrative theme hit its stride and the points became more specifically relevant to the author making his point, rather than merely interesting in their own sake. Then things became more interesting and we found the book insightful, thought provoking and well worth reading. We will share this book with others and suggest that people read it, and that it is well worth tackling. You will come away smarter, and looking to join up the dots in various areas. Definitely one for the cooler autumn evenings to read. More about this book “Stories, Dice & Rocks That Think” is a new look at the history & destiny of humanity, wherein dice teach us about probability, which allows us to acccurately predict the future; storytelling allows us to envision the future; and rocks that think – a reference to a computer's CPU – enable us to build the future. This fascinating tale explores the three leaps in our history that made us who we are—and will change how you think about our future. Look around. Clearly, we humans are radically different from the other creatures on this planet. But why? Where are the Bronze Age beavers? The Iron Age iguanas? In “Stories, Dice, and Rocks That Think” (Aug. 16, 2022 / Benbella Books), Byron Reese argues that we owe our special status to our ability to imagine the future and recall the past, escaping the perpetual present that all other living creatures are trapped in. Envisioning human history as the development of a societal superorganism he names Agora, Reese shows us how this escape enabled us to share knowledge on an unprecedented scale, to predict—and eventually master—the future. Thoughtful, witty, and compulsively readable, Reese unravels our history as an intelligent species in three acts: Act I: Ancient humans undergo “the awakening,” developing the cognitive ability to mentally time-travel using language Act II: In 17th century France, probability theory is born—a science for seeing into the future that we used to build the modern world Act III: Beginning with the invention of the computer chip, humanity creates machines to gaze into the future with even more precision, overcoming the limits of our brains A fresh new look at the history and destiny of humanity, readers will come away from Stories, Dice, and Rocks that Think with a new understanding of what they are—not just another animal, but a creature with a mastery of time itself. “Stories, Dice and Rocks That Think” is Byron's fourth book.

We are witnessing a blast of the technological and societal changes that are accelerating us into a future our imaginations cannot grasp. For 7,000 generations children could look to their parents and grandparents for life lessons in how to confront the chaos. No more. Their yesterday experiences will be of little, if any, help to today's children in surviving tomorrow's chaos. Our children have no maps, no talismans, to guide them. Which leaves them with only their instincts to confront the chaos. Those instincts were crafted to enable us to survive in a world that we left millennia ago. That long forgotten world hardwired us to overreact violently when we are frightened. Chaos is frightening. And chaos is about to engulf us.

Washington Times journalist and comic book writer Doug Ernst and comic book writer RJ from The Fourth Age YouTube join Wes for a special discussion. Modern entertainment is hellbent on removing positive role models for young boys in entertainment. Whether it's superheroes like Superman, Spyder-Man or Captain America positive male role models that exude power and strength are being altered and removed from our cultural landscape. Entertainment is also removing any semblance of responsible, reliable fathers as well. Gone are the days of Mike Brady, Ward Cleaver, Dr. Huckstable and Uncle Phil. Positive male role models who were willing to tell there children when they were wrong and impart good morals and principals. In are are a host of Homer Simpson wannabe's parading as fathers. There was a time when Al Bundy was a caricature of a father made for laughs. Now he's the standard put forth in Hollywood. Why are comics books and entertainment set on removing these positive male role models? Doug Ernst and RJ from The Fourth Age sit down with Wes for an in-depth discussion.   RJ From The Fourth Age YT: youtube.com/channel/UCsmgy_rfqOlAz6R_wFLJzmg Twitter: @rjoftheisland SubscribeStar: https://www.subscribestar.com/the-fourth-age-comics   Thomas Valiant Indiegogo Campaign Link: https://igg.me/at/JPZKRbqmWX8/x#/   Doug Ernst YT: youtube.com/channel/UCphr2x8FR96PZexWzamPvkw Twitter: @douglasernst Patreon: patreon.com/douglasernst Washington Times: washingtontimes.com/staff/douglas-ernst/ Blog: douglasernst.blog/   Soulfinder: Black Tide Order Now: https://www.iconiccomics.com/product-page/soulfinder-vol-2-black-tide   Support Thinking Critical at Ko-fi.

Gevian Dargan, former assistant-editor at Milestone Comics, joins Wes for  “It's Complicated.” Wes and Gevian discuss hot-button issues many people shy away from today. Wes recently talked to Doug Ernst and RJ from The Fourth Age about the death of fathers and heroes. Today Wes digs deeper with Gevian Dargan on the historical portrayal of black fathers in entertainment. There are certainly some standout portrayals throughout the decades but black men have historically been portrayed with negative stereotypes. Where has this come from and are things better now?

LeaderING & Incentivizing Curiosity with Strategic Futurist, Nancy Giordano This episode takes a deep dive into how to lead in an age of change and how future generations will help to incentivize curiosity and drive strategic sustainability. Nancy helps people, organizations, and audiences build a sustainable path forward as opposed to focusing solely on growth. NANCY GIORDANO Strategic Futurist || Global Keynote Speaker || Gatherer || Author of LeaderING: The Ways Visionary Leaders Play Bigger Nancy is committed to strengthening the organizational capacities and societal structures necessary to leverage significant "Fourth Age" technology advances and ensure a safe and thriving future for us all. As founder of Play Big Inc, she + her PYNKrs ("people you need to know") guide visionary C-suite leaders through this rapidly transforming society. Summarizing all she has learned so far, she will soon be launching her first book titled LeaderING: The Way Visionary Leaders Play Bigger. With more than $50B worth of experience, Nancy has a rich history of advising and learning with some of the top companies in the world. Recognizing that radical shifts in technology, business and society must be considered simultaneously, she helped shape an Artificial Intelligence software start-up, designed a leadership summit to encourage C-suite execs to confidently explore seven of the most disruptive emergent technologies, and is now working collaboratively with one of the first A.I. services companies: Kungfu.AI. An activist for a better next, Nancy is championing two bold ideas poised to weave a more human, truly peer-to-peer internet: Holochain + Holo Hosting. And she is helping usher in an era of Partnerism, an economic and social system that successfully builds value by developing human capacity to care for one another and nature — “power with vs power over”— which will be incentivized with a comprehensive measure that moves beyond GDP to the Social Wealth Index (SWI). Nancy also recently created the Femme Futurist Society to share compelling conversations with leading futurists around the world. And she produced the first Career Fair For the Future during SXSW to help college + high school students more actively and confidently design the future of their work. She has been invited to give over 60 keynote talks around the world these past two years on topics such as: • The Case for Audacious Leadering • Navigating the Big Shift • Just One Percent In...Learning to Navigate the Next Economy • The Four Pandemic Awakenings Shaping the New Economy Her consultancy, Play Big Inc, is uniquely good at: Inspiring + guiding large, often iconic, organizations who are ready to build new transformative, future-forward growth strategies... We encourage leaders to move from a mindset/culture of extraction, to one built on a societal investment. Identifying what each organization is in a unique position to contribute + create, we help leaders shift their organizational framework, posture and approach to better meet the needs + expectations of the future.

Smart Robots, Conscious Computers, and the Future of Humanity Interview by Chicke Fitzgerald of the Game Changer Network as a part of the Best of the Game Changer series, showcased on C-Suite Network “The Fourth Age not only discusses what the rise of A.I. will mean for us, it also forces readers to challenge their preconceptions. And it manages to do all this in a way that is both entertaining and engaging.” —The New York Times As we approach a great turning point in history when technology is poised to redefine what it means to be human, The Fourth Age offers fascinating insight into AI, robotics, and their extraordinary implications for our species. In The Fourth Age, Byron Reese makes the case that technology has reshaped humanity just three times in history: - 100,000 years ago, we harnessed fire, which led to language. - 10,000 years ago, we developed agriculture, which led to cities and warfare. - 5,000 years ago, we invented the wheel and writing, which lead to the nation state. We are now on the doorstep of a fourth change brought about by two technologies: AI and robotics. The Fourth Age provides extraordinary background information on how we got to this point, and how—rather than what—we should think about the topics we'll soon all be facing: machine consciousness, automation, employment, creative computers, radical life extension, artificial life, AI ethics, the future of warfare, super intelligence, and the implications of extreme prosperity. By asking questions like “Are you a machine?” and “Could a computer feel anything?”, Reese leads you through a discussion along the cutting edge in robotics and AI, and, provides a framework by which we can all understand, discuss, and act on the issues of the Fourth Age, and how they'll transform humanity. Chicke is a philanthropreneur • she zigs where others zag, creating value, growth and bringing to life crazy good ideas that will leave a legacy

Seth and Travis welcome first-time guest Alex R. London to discuss the boxiness of Cairhien, the boxes Rand is already in, the boxes he will be in, and why he wishes he could be alone in his own head for a minute. While this episode was recorded, the Pacific-Northwesters can also taste wildfire smoke in addition to the quarantine-enforced solitude. Rand visits his prototype graduate school/research university, where discussing familiar technology through new eyes is almost as fun as imagining how cuendillar could be applied to our engineering problems. Herid Fel makes an impression, a romance in the background is given a head-canon ending for the Fourth Age, and Egwene inspires many tangents.

When we talk about the way that AI will shape the future, there are such polarized beliefs, with one camp fearing it and the other vehemently dismissing these fear-filled claims. Today’s guest, Byron Reese, believes that these opposing views stem from fundamentally different world views. Byron is the former CEO of Gigaom, a well-respected technology publication and tech research company that writes about trends and tech that business leaders need to know about and understand. He is also a prolific author, host of the Voices in AI podcast, and futurist. This episode covers a wide range of topics, and we kick off by delving into the world of voice tech. As Byron has used many of these platforms, numerous questions have come to the surface for him. We ponder whether our interactions with these technologies may spill over into our daily human to human communication as well as how these platforms may corrode human rights. From there, the discussion moves to whether we, as humans, are machines. As a question Byron asks all his podcast guests, he feels that the reductionist answers he frequently hears do not account for the inexplicable ways our humanity manifests itself. Then, we discuss Byron’s book, The Fourth Age, where he unpacks how this technological period will ultimately shape history. He delves into why the advent of speech, agriculture, and the invention of writing and the wheel, were historical turning points, which depart from the obvious reasons people may think. After this, we get into the hotly contested AI vs jobs debate. Byron’s insights into why the proliferation of this technology will not result in net job losses are refreshing and backed by historical data. Looking at the jobs technology destroys alone does not account for the opportunities created. We round the show off with Byron discussing the importance of following your passion, why the ability to learn new things is the most important skill we have, and what’s in store for him. Be sure to listen to this extra-special episode!HighlightsAvailable at http://bit.ly/voicetechpodcast-ep074 Quotes from the show[04:38] We live in a world where all the people who are the leaders in the field are accessible[19:35] If machines can do it, it’s a waste of people to get people to do it.[38:20] How can half of all jobs vanish every 50 years and we never have systemic unemployment?[39:44] Can everyone do a job just a little bit harder than the job they have today?[46:28] The greatest under-utilized resource on the planet are people.Links to clickVoice Connected Business EU conference

If you think that AI is going to make your marketing job obsolete, think again. AI may just make your job (and many aspects of your existence) completely manageable and utterly exciting for the very first time. This is the view of Byron Reese, author of The Fourth Age: Smart Robots, Conscious Computers, and the Future of Humanity, which explores how AI, robotics, automation and more are combining to unlock unlimited opportunities and make the impossible possible. Our host Peggy Anne Salz catches up with Reese--the CEO and publisher of the technology research company GigaOm, the founder of several high-tech companies and the owner of several patents--to discuss the impact of AI and robotics on the future marketer. Reese brings the topic to life with inspiring examples and truthful scenarios, using human history and nature as a lens to frame how our age, the Fourth Age, can play out and potentially alter everything for the better.

By asking questions like “Are you a machine?” and “Could a computer feel anything?”, Reese leads you through a discussion along the cutting edge in robotics and AI, and, provides a framework by which we can all understand, discuss, and act on the issues of the Fourth Age, and how they'll transform humanity.

Just Role With It returns for a new season of D&D with a new campaign, a new player, and a new world! In this episode, we meet the new cast of JRWI, and get our first look at a brand new world never before seen in D&D, the Fourth Age of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time universe. It's been 150 years since the Last Battle, and the world has changed in surprising ways. The Children of the Light are now a force to be respected, stedding are regrowing in the old Blight, and students of the White Tower are no longer cloistered until they acheive the shawl. In the frontier town of Dal Sherandu, a Child of the Light named Lance Akashi is disturbed by news that battles have broken out again in his hometown of Chachin. White Tower novices Pimur and Amena go to the tavern to get a theraputic pint and a gamble after a long day training in use of the Power. The Ogier youth Quercus attempts to understand the strange rituals of ordering food at a human bar.

Byron Reese is the CEO and Publisher of Gigaom, one of the world’s leading technology research companies, and also regularly writes at Gigaom Publisher’s Corner. He brings his experience as a technologist, a passion for history, and his proven business acumen to illuminate how today’s technology can solve many of our biggest global challenges. The following quote alone was enough alone for me to get him on the podcast today. “Technology is empowering. It augments us. And yet today, many are being told they should fear technology. In my writing, I reject that and offer a different narrative, of how technology can bring about a peaceful and prosperous world for all.” Byron's new book "The Fourth Age: Smart Robots, Conscious Computers and the Future of Humanity," is an excellent read for those looking for a more positive narrative about the impact of tech on our world and using 100,000 years of human history as his guide. I invited him on to my daily tech podcast to talk about the issues around artificial general intelligence, robots, consciousness, automation, the end of work, abundance, and immortality. With 25 years as a successful tech entrepreneur, with multiple IPOs and exits along the way, Byron Reese is uniquely suited to comment on the transformative effect of technology in the workplace and society at large. “The biggest problems of tomorrow will not be a lack of jobs but a shortage of humans to take advantage of all of the opportunities technology will offer.” – Byron Reese We are living in a digital age where many journalists focus on writing about a dystopian future inspired by fictional writing. By contrast, Byron shares why he writes books that explore the wonders of the world of tomorrow about the future of work and life.

This chapter abounds in pervasive uncertainty, biblical symbolism, and some creepy (in the opinion of this Head) romantic advances on the part of the eponymous Steward. Our lectio divina section contemplates the transition from the Third to the Fourth Age, and what that means for Gandalf and the Elves. We ask ourselves whether the Fourth […]

But The Fourth Age successfully forces us to face just how thorny those questions are...entertaining and engaging...” - New York Times www.byronreese.com  

The questions we will grapple with in today's show are not about transistors and neurons and algorithms and such. They are about the nature of reality, humanity, and mind. The confusion happens when we begin with “What jobs will robots take from humans?” instead of “What are humans?” Until we answer that second question, we can't meaningfully address the first. We welcome serial entrepreneur, founder and CEO, of GigaOM and author of “The Fourth Age: Smart Robots, Conscious Computers, and the Future of Humanity” Byron Reese. We talk: The evolution of our brains Fire as the first technology Language development Storytelling Digital Dementia Distribution of Labour The Beginning of Wealth The Beginning of ownership The shift to agriculture The age of computation Moore's law Exponential change Artificial Intelligence Artificial General Intelligence Robotics The limitation of Robotics Computer Consciousness Our human potential We mention digital dementia during the show, here is a piece I wrote on it: https://medium.com/thethursdaythought/planet-of-the-ai-pes-digital-dementia-and-digital-zombies-f4f3454ca664 More about Byron here: www.byronreese.com

Byron Reese, CEO of Gigaom and author of The Fourth Age, talks about innovation technology, its future, and how humanity fits within the picture. He poses great questions that tug at our current conditions such as identifying whether you are a machine or an animal. Believing greatly in humanity and technology, he defines what technology is and gives us a view of the changes that will happen sooner. Byron then shares his insights about artificial general intelligence and emotional intelligence in robots while predicting how technology can end hunger and poverty. Tying innovation to an open heart, Chris Hoffmann – author, innovator, and TEDx speaker – talks about the emotional aspects that need to be present with technology. He finds that it is by having that sense of self that we will tap into curiosity and creativity. He is also about helping people get over that fear of being more innovative, leading us to identify the things that make us emotionally satisfied. Reflecting on the current relationship between people and technology, Chris then shares his thoughts about people aligning to different jobs as they become more curious and creative than ever.

In the first episode of Your Immortal, hear a tale that begins early in the Fourth Age of Middle Earth, where though the One Ring has been destroyed, not all rejoice. Where shall an Ent find release and succor when all the Entwives remain lost?

Ambie, Cassadi, and Crystal discuss Fourth Age, 1817, Kitten Klash, and Barenpark. We talk about playing games while traveling or on vacation, and Crystal goes over the origins of the word "score."

And like that, the dark lord of Mordor, Sauron, was gone from Middle-Earth. The Fourth Age has dawned, and our heroes get some well earned rest, but much awaits the Fellowship of the Ring in this new world without war. Jonathan, Katie and Chase discuss this new future along with their week in the real world.
