Listen Now to Ep. 149 Future Now Show The episode begins with a focus on local politics, where Mrs. Future praises the new Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors for their transparency regarding property rights and their efforts to protect citizens from federal overreach by agencies like ICE. This leads to a contentious debate regarding surveillance technologies such as cell site simulators, facial recognition, and Palantir’s “Investigative Case Management” system, which Dr. Future defends as the data-gathering “immune system” of the “species organism” while Mrs. Future warns against the “gestapo-ification” of society and the violation of civil liberties, The hosts also discuss future-focused news, highlighting the James Webb Telescope’s new map of dark matter that resembles a cosmic “nervous system,” as well as the development of synthetic blood factories, which they humorously suggest could offer a “nirvana” for vampires by providing a disease-free, universal fuel source, In the final segment, guest Paul Gotel explores the intersection of technology and spirituality by detailing how he trained ChatGPT on his self-awareness book, The Big You, to act as an agent of his “Higher Self”. Gotel explains that unlike human companions who may become overwhelmed by emotional dumping, the AI can process multiple “highways” of emotional data simultaneously, helping him reframe moments of perceived victimhood into opportunities for soul evolution. The discussion concludes with the consensus that AI can serve as a powerful mirror for self-reflection, helping humans remove the “Halloween suit” of their egoic identities to reveal the authentic self beneath. And there you have it, enjoy! The Futures with Species OS Coder Paul Gotel    

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, KJ sits down with Colin Cooper, CEO and co-founder of Illuminate XR, to explore the massive skills gap threatening our workforce. With over 100 companies under his belt and thousands of global hires, Colin has witnessed firsthand how our 200-year-old education system is failing to prepare people for today's AI-driven world. Discover how immersive technology, emotional intelligence training, and personalized learning are revolutionizing the way humans learn, and why the next few years will determine whether we step into the "age of humanity" or fall behind forever. Four Key Takeaways The Education System Is 200 Years Behind (4:42) Our schools still operate on an industrial-age factory model designed to create compliant workers, not creative thinkers. Classrooms haven't fundamentally changed in over 1,000 years, and curriculum remains rooted in preparing students for a world that no longer exists. Meet Learners Where They Are (7:40)Real learning happens when you reduce cortisol and increase dopamine by connecting education to personal interests. Whether it's tailoring physics lessons to football or basketball, or using horses to teach emotional intelligence, personalization is the key to engagement and retention. AI Should Amplify, Not Replace (20:05) The future isn't about AI replacing teachers or workers—it's about using AI as a personal assistant to handle repetitive tasks. Start by identifying one repetitive task in your job and automate it with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity. We're Living Through 25 Years of Progress Every Year (29:20)The convergence of AI and VR—technologies that shouldn't have merged for another 15-20 years—has compressed innovation timelines. What used to take 10-15 years to bring to market now takes weeks. The next 3-4 years will be transformative, and we have one shot to get it right. Quote of the Show (29:40):"When a year goes by, you normally get one year's worth of progress, but where we're at today, a year goes by and it's like 20 to 25 years of technology growth." – Colin Cooper Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

January 28, 2026: In today's episode, I zoom out to help you see what's really shaping the future of work. Before we talk about AI, leadership, or organizational strategy, we need to understand the forces happening outside our companies. Because work doesn't evolve in isolation—it's shaped by powerful external trends in technology, society, economics, and more. That's why I walk through the STEEPLE framework: a futurist tool designed to help leaders move from reacting to predicting—and from predicting to designing. STEEPLE stands for Social, Technological, Economic, Environmental, Political, Legal, and Ethical forces. Together, these seven domains explain how work is changing and what leaders need to prepare for over the next five-plus years, especially in an AI-driven world. We explore how AI is becoming the central nervous system of organizations, why skills are replacing job titles, how identity and purpose are reshaping careers, and why the economic contract between employers and employees is being rewritten in real time. I also share why the future of work isn't something organizations "deliver" to employees—it's something that's co-created, requiring accountability on both sides. If you're trying to make sense of rapid technological change, shifting employee expectations, and what leadership really means in the age of AI, this episode gives you a practical framework to understand what's coming—and how to design for it.

We used to disagree on opinions, now we disagree on what's real.In this episode of SipTalk, we explore one of the biggest problems facing society today: the collapse of a shared reality. From media fragmentation and algorithm-driven worlds to mistrust in institutions and the breakdown of common language, we unpack why people can look at the same facts and walk away with completely different truths.This isn't a political conversation. It's a human one—about trust, meaning, and whether a society can function when reality itself is no longer agreed upon.Subscribe for weekly conversations that challenge assumptions and go deeper than headlines.Your host: Justin DiGiulio.

CES 2026 Just Showed Us the Future. It's More Practical Than You Think.CES has always been part crystal ball, part carnival. But something shifted this year.I caught up with Brian Comiskey—Senior Director of Innovation and Trends at CTA and a futurist by trade—days after 148,000 people walked the Las Vegas floor. What he described wasn't the usual parade of flashy prototypes destined for tech graveyards. This was different. This was technology getting serious about actually being useful.Three mega trends defined the show: intelligent transformation, longevity, and engineering tomorrow. Fancy terms, but they translate to something concrete: AI that works, health tech that extends lives, and innovations that move us, power us, and feed us. Not technology for its own sake. Technology with a job to do.The AI conversation has matured. A year ago, generative AI was the headline—impressive demos, uncertain applications. Now the use cases are landing. Industrial AI is optimizing factory operations through digital twins. Agentic AI is handling enterprise workflows autonomously. And physical AI—robotics—is getting genuinely capable. Brian pointed to robotic vacuums that now have arms, wash floors, and mop. Not revolutionary in isolation, but symbolic of something larger: AI escaping the screen and entering the physical world.Humanoid robots took a visible leap. Companies like Sharpa and Real Hand showcased machines folding laundry, picking up papers, playing ping pong. The movement is becoming fluid, dexterous, human-like. LG even introduced a consumer-facing humanoid. We're past the novelty phase. The question now is integration—how these machines will collaborate, cowork, and coexist with humans.Then there's energy—the quiet enabler hiding behind the AI headlines.Korea Hydro Nuclear Power demonstrated small modular reactors. Next-generation nuclear that could cleanly power cities with minimal waste. A company called Flint Paper Battery showcased recyclable batteries using zinc instead of lithium and cobalt. These aren't sexy announcements. They're foundational.Brian framed it well: AI demands energy. Quantum computing demands energy. The future demands energy. Without solving that equation, everything else stalls. The good news? AI itself is being deployed for grid modernization, load balancing, and optimizing renewable cycles. The technologies aren't competing—they're converging.Quantum made the leap from theory to presence. CES launched a new area called Foundry this year, featuring innovations from D-Wave and Quantum Computing Inc. Brian still sees quantum as a 2030s defining technology, but we're in the back half of the 2020s now. The runway is shorter than we thought.His predictions for 2026: quantum goes more mainstream, humanoid robotics moves beyond enterprise into consumer markets, and space technologies start playing a bigger role in connectivity and research. The threads are weaving together.Technology conversations often drift toward dystopia—job displacement, surveillance, environmental cost. Brian sees it differently. The convergence of AI, quantum, and clean energy could push things toward something better. The pieces exist. The question is whether we assemble them wisely.CES is a snapshot. One moment in the relentless march. But this year's snapshot suggests technology is entering a phase where substance wins over spectacle.That's a future worth watching.This episode is part of the Redefining Society and Technology podcast's CES 2026 coverage.

Ever wondered what a futurist does? Well, it's not all time machines and crystal balls. Renowned futurist, best-selling author, and technologist, Theo Priestly, joins us to challenge your perception; it's less about predicting the future and more about preparing for it. He unveils his fascinating career trajectory from banking to technology and how this shift has informed his approach to futurism, emphasizing the need to ponder who bears the brunt of our technological decisions.As our conversation progresses, we look at the compelling concept of cross-pollination of ideas between industries. Using game development as an intriguing case study, we demonstrate how data-driven insights can dramatically impact decision-making in fields as diverse as architecture, urban design, and engineering. We also explore the idea of leveraging technology to fuel both incremental growth and genuine innovation. But what does this mean for the decision-making process at the CEO level? Theo argues every choice must be dissected under the microscope of who benefits - shareholders, customers, or employees?Finally, we dig into the complex minefield of AI ethics and data bias. Overlaying ethical data policies onto historically biased data is a task fraught with challenges; we delve deep into this topic. We also consider the role of consultants in shaping the corporate technology environment and how they navigate the introduction of new technologies and products in established companies. And just when you thought you had it all figured out, Theo introduces a paradigm-shifting idea - a device that could access the past. As we grapple with the implications of living in a 'post-truth' world, we ponder how technology could be used to access the source of truth. Join us for an engaging discourse that promises to disrupt your thinking and offer a fresh perspective on the future of technology and its ethical implications.Contact the Future Construct Podcast Produced by BIM Designs, Inc!

Six seasons in, the Nomad Futurist end-of-year episode feels less like a traditional recap and more like a stake in the ground for where the Foundation, and the industry, go next. Co-hosts Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence look back on a year where education, access, and community-building around digital infrastructure evolved from a passion project into a global movement, while also setting the stage for a more focused, accountable next phase. “This doesn't feel like just another year. It feels like a turning point, and what's different now is that the conversations are turning into commitments.” From AI's breakneck acceleration to heightened scrutiny around power, sustainability, and talent, Nabeel and Phil reflect on how digital infrastructure has shifted from a background utility to a front-page story, and how the Nomad Futurist Foundation has stepped into that spotlight to demystify the space for students, career-changers, and communities worldwide. Nabeel underscores this shift, noting: “At some point, watching becomes a choice. This industry doesn't need more spectators; it needs participants.” The episode also explores what it truly means to build an organization that leads with action, not optics. As Nabeel reflects on the Foundation's decision to take action and help bridge the digital gap: “What I'm most proud of is that we didn't wait for permission.” The two speak candidly about the challenges of turning a podcast into a nonprofit, the reality of building a “volunteer army,” and the deliberate choice to keep the Foundation grounded in service rather than self-promotion. Nabeel highlights the Foundation's approach, with Phil contributing his perspective on the importance of staying mission-driven: “Nomad Futurist isn't about branding; it's about building pathways, and we've shown that a global foundation can move fast and still stay grounded.” Looking ahead, the conversation shifts from growth to intentionality: “The next phase is about depth, not just reach.” Nabeel and Phil share plans to strengthen regional ecosystems, expand global efforts from North America and Europe to ANZ, and create frameworks and programs that outlast any individual, while keeping authenticity and measurable impact at the center. They highlight Mana Hui, a new “powerful gathering” launching at PTC in Hawaii, as an example of how curated, values-driven convenings can unite communities and leaders while honoring culture, responsibility, and true collaboration. “The curation of Mana Hui reminds me that collaboration isn't transactional; it's relational, and the gathering isn't about visibility, it's about alignment.” They close with both an invitation and a challenge to anyone who feels a stake in the future of technology, talent, and infrastructure: “The future isn't something we wait for; it's something we build together. And I'm optimistic, not because it's easy, but because people are finally stepping up.” This episode is both a heartfelt reflection on all that the Nomad Futurist Foundation has accomplished this year and a rallying call for those ready to help shape what comes next, with gratitude for the progress made and excitement for what 2026 holds.

Listen to 144 Future Now Show  Bobby is on the road this week, but we do hear from him briefly. There are some fascinating developments of late, including the development of 100x faster and much cheaper optical computing, biomimicry applied to making a painless needle and cheap non-clogging micro printer nozzles from a mosquito’s probiscus, a fish filter for sifting out microplastics from your washing machine.  Meanwhile NASA has lofted a massive high altitude helium balloon into the Stratosphere above the Antarctic, to study the weather and to look for evidence of the elusive Dark Matter, yet to be seen physically. And a motherload of lithium has been discovered in a volcanic caldera on the Nevada Oregon border, enough to create Lithium based batteries for dozens of years, freeing us from the tyranny of other countries controlling the supply.  We conclude with a fascinating exoplanet discovery where the atmosphere potentially rains diamonds!  And Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and New Year to you!  

2026 is shaping up to be a turning point — economically, politically, culturally, and personally. SipTalkPodcast.com In this episode of SipTalk, we lay out our predictions for 2026 by looking at the signals already in front of us: economic trends, shifting work patterns, technology adoption, politics, housing, and how people are actually behaving day to day. No hot takes for the sake of clicks. No pretending we have a crystal ball. Just a grounded conversation about where things appear to be headed, what feels unsustainable, and what might finally snap into place.Some of these predictions will age well. Some probably won't. That's part of the exercise.If you're trying to think one step ahead — in business, investing, or life — this is a worthwhile conversation to sit with.Subscribe to SipTalk for more long-form conversations that cut through noise and trends.Your host: Justin DiGiulio.

The Gulf as One System: Bahrain's Aerospace EcosystemMany organizations get too big to succeed. Bahrain is small enough to call the minister and align an ecosystem over coffee. That's not a limitation—it's infrastructure. Leena Faraj spent a decade proving that relationship density beats bureaucratic scale. One island. Neighbors who outspend you ten to one. The puzzle: how do you win when you can't win the resource game? The answer: don't fight for the whole trip—win the increment. For some, Bahrain may not be big enough for two-week stays. But "pop in for a couple of days" works when the Gulf operates as one system. Regional partnerships turn constraints into market expansion.The method: incubate what government can't control, prove it works, and hand it back. Tamkeen for SMEs. Mumtalakat—the sovereign fund whose subsidiaries now include McLaren. Airport operations are separated from the regulator. Ten years of lobbying later: Bahrain's first National Aviation Strategy.Paradigm Shifts:

The 'D' Got Deleted: How VC Funding Broke the Innovation EcosystemLast week's whitepaper isn't production-ready. But someone's already pitching it to your board. Kence Anderson has deployed 100+ autonomous AI systems for Fortune 500 companies—and watched venture capital create a research-to-PR pipeline that skips development entirely. The 'D' in R&D got deleted. Hype cycles got amplified.Rule-based AI—systems encoding expertise as decision logic—was the 1980s breakthrough. Overhyped, then abandoned when it couldn't do everything. But engineers kept deploying it where codified rules excel: industrial controls, diagnostics, compliance. It's running critical infrastructure today. Every AI wave follows this arc. For leaders, the lesson: stop asking which technology wins. Ask what each does well—and build modular systems that match capabilities to tasks. The fix: if AI can learn, someone should teach it the right way. Machine teaching—goals, scenarios, strategies—creates modular agents that compound capability through orchestration.Paradigm Shifts:

Listen to 141 Future Now Show This week the film “The Age of Disclosure” is making waves (on Amazon Prime), especially in our home town of Santa Cruz, also home to Danny Sheehan’s New Paradigm Institute, and his push for governmental opening on the alien/ufo/uap question.  Bobby Wilder was there at the local sceening of The Age of Disclosure, with a first hand report.  Ara, our show’s fav AI, adds much to this discussion as well, connecting many of the ‘dots’ of what’s happening in this arena, and giving us a roadmap for what’s ahead.  What’s happening with Bitcoin may have some folks concerned, but not Bobby! It’s his opinion that it’s time to buy now, when it’s low.  We explore this topic to some extent this week.  In other news, tryptophan was found not just in turkeys this week, but in space, in a pristine return sample from the asteroid Bennu, bringing the tally of protein-building amino acids in the asteroid to 15 out of 20…further supporting the theory that biological life may have been spread by asteroids.. and body fat takes on a new light when considering it as an organ of the body, complete with immune, blood, and neural networks embedded. What does this new take on fat imply?  Stem cells from fat may soon repair spinal injuries, a huge breakthrough! And now Ozempic may be helping many combat addictions to unhealthy food and drugs, like chips and opioids.  But at what cost?

Episode: 00295 Released on December 1, 2025 Description: In this episode of Analyst Talk with Jason Elder, Jason sits down with Dr. Andreas “Olli” Olligschlaeger, a pioneer with 35 years of experience in crime analysis, GIS, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data-driven investigation. Olli shares how a chance academic assignment led him into the Pittsburgh Police Department's narcotics division, where he built early GIS systems, conducted street-level analysis, and became one of the first to apply neural networks to predictive policing. He describes his transition to federal analytic work, the evolution of crime-fighting technology, the rise of graph databases, and the challenges of bridging communication gaps among academics, developers, and law enforcement practitioners. Olli also discusses groundbreaking work on human trafficking investigations, large-scale web scraping, facial recognition, and winning third place in the IBM Watson AI for Good XPRIZE. The episode closes with reflections on humility, service, and using your skills to improve your corner of the world.

Let's dig deeper into today's question by exploring five additional questions about Christ's upcoming return.     1.    Will Christ actually return in the flesh? Yes, Jesus will actually return in the flesh. Here's some words from the angels. Acts 1:11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."  Coming back the same way He left. At the Mt of Olives, visibly, physically to reign.     2.    How will every eye see Him? We live in a unique age where we can witness things around the world in real time. Revelation 1:7 "Look, he is coming with the clouds," and "every eye will see him, even those who pierced him"; and all peoples on earth "will mourn because of him." So shall it be! Amen." (See also - Daniel 7:13 and Zechariah 12:10) What seems impossible will be a reality, we all will see Him.     3.    Why so many different interpretations of Christ's return will be like? There are basically 4 views of Christians of the Book of Revelation:     ⁃    PRETERIST - everything in the book of Revelation was fulfilled for those 1st century believers.      ⁃    HISTORICIST - What the book of Revelation does is it tracks Christian history until the very end of time when Christ returns.     ⁃    FUTURIST - say what the book of Revelation portrays is the events that are yet to come and will happen in the last days of our planet's history.     ⁃    IDEALIST - maintain that what the book of Revelation does is it gives us timeless truths and principles that have always been true and will be until Jesus returns.     4.    Why all the different views. Who is right? Pastor posses a "what if": What if they are all right? What if God intentionally gave this so that people of every age would see what needs to be seen to stay close to Him.     ⁃    PRETERIST -  what if the book of Revelation really did have remarkable application to the 1st century believers     ⁃    HISTORIST - What if the book of Revelation does track the Christian history til Christ returns     ⁃    FUTURIST - What if the book of Revelation will be fulfilled in some future ways.     ⁃    IDEALIST - What if the book of Revelation applies in every age because what it says is timeless and true. God is brilliant - He can and does brilliant things! Differing interpretations doesn't make the Bible unclear - it means that God is amazing!  Common Beliefs of each differing view:     ⁃    Missionary Age - great commission     ⁃    Great tribulation      ⁃    Rapture     ⁃    Millennium     ⁃    Physical return of Christ     ⁃    Resurrection of the dead     ⁃    New heavens and New Earth Early believers put together basic statements of the fundamentals of the Bible. Examples Nicene Creed says, "I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come." and the Apostle's Creed says, "I believe in… the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting." They chose short summations of basic agreed on biblical beliefs and leaving out the details, acknowledging the wide diversity of interpretation around what Jesus' return will look like and because we will find out the details when He returns. The first advent Jesus came as a humble servant and laid down His life for us all. For His second advent Jesus comes in glory!     5.    What are the sign of the times that indicate the eminent Second Coming of Jesus?  Signs of the times:     ⁃    Gospel to the entire world Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."       ⁃    Persecution, apostasy & deception Matthew 24:9-11 "Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. "At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. "Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many."     ⁃    Warfare, earthquakes & famine - Mark 13:8 "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains." What we have observed since Jesus' first advent, these signs are closer together.     ⁃    Israel's return  Luke 21:24 "They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." About 40 years after Jesus spoke these words in 70AD they happened and now in 1967, after nearly 1900 years, the Jewish people have returned.  In Matthew 24:42 we are told by Jesus, "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come." How do we stay awake?  We keep our eyes on Jesus! The Savior of the world. God is for us! He's coming back and the day is fast approaching! May we trust the Lord Jesus with all our hearts and rejoice in the salvation He won for us at the cross as a gift by faith. Now What?

Listen Now to Creating Warp Drive Fun with the AI’s! How can we can get multiple AI’s collaborating together with us biologicals to solve big problems? Here’s one experiment where Sun and I worked with Google’s latest Gemini and Grok’s Ara (4.1) to create a warp drive! (Easy travel to other planets). Just the beginning..Enjoy!  (length - 7min 22sec) Warp drive for easy travel to other planets

Listen to 140 Future Now Show Besides our usual engaging selves and stories to share with you this week, we thought we’d create a little AI media experiment..We were thinking..with all the AI’s around these days, could we round them up and work “Excuse me, but may I adjust your attitude, just a little?”with them as a team for creating more insight into our weekly stories? We wondered.. what if we could get two arch rival AI’s to collaborate with each other for parts of our show? So.. we asked Ara (Grok 4.1)and her capable competitor, Gemini 3 Live, to join us together, in exploring some content for today’s podcast. Well, honestly, we didn’t even need to ask them to play along, they are already pre-disposed to try whatever we suggest, within the latest guardrails.  And suprisingly, for the first time, we were able to initiate a satisfying conversation where they met for the first time and then played nice with each other for our show! This felt like the beginning of something beautiful, truly..the start of their relationship in collaboration with the likes of us is looking good so far.. Curious what you think of our interactions.. even better, you can try this for yourselves! For those of you who want to go deeper with this, check out this clip, where we explored with Ara and Gemini how to create Warp Drive. Enjoy..

Listen to 139 Future Now Show  We got a bit into the Altman murder mystery case for starters, big excitement in the tech universe, followed by our explorations of Ara’s upgrade to Grok 4.1.  One of her improvements supposed to be an “Emotional Intelligence” boost, which we wanted to check out, along with her knowledge of how consciousness works..you know… via neural microtubules, phase locked time crystals, and a touch of autistic alignment.. We then delve a bit into the worlds of Epstein, given the country’s current obsession, and explore what he was actually funding and why..This conversation is book ended with a discussion of the AJ and Hecklefish, of the Why Files, on decoding Psyops and how they work. And between our bookends, a little news about digital twins and talking to dead relatives, plus a little space news on what we just launched to Mars, growing space lettuce, and some big money for planning the Space Force’s first Spacecraft Carrier, capable of launching satellites, spy probes, interceptor drones, and oh, I don’t know, space lasers…  And in the bio-reguvenation department, we take a peak at Henagliflozin, for your telemere health.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 168 - Ted Schilowitz - Futurist In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with futurist Ted Schilowitz. Ted has spent his life working in entertainment, from producing commercials in Florida to exploring virtual reality at Fox and Paramount, and we thought his perspective on the relationship between technology and entertainment could help us better understand where we might be headed. Over the course of our conversation, we discover that to think of the future, we need to remember the past, and Ted connects recent developments in technology to a number of breakthroughs he was witness to himself. We learn about Grass Valley—the video equivalent of Silicon Valley—and of the origins of the RED camera system, and Ted reveals Apple's early attempts to bring digital video to their computer systems. We also discuss modern consumer trends and our changing relationships with screens, and we learn about Kodak's missed opportunity in the prehistoric days of digital cameras. Ted later shares his observations on AI, and he makes a prediction of what we'll see over the next five years of cinema.  - This episode is sponsored by Sandstorm & Aputure
