Classical Et Cetera continues our best-books-by-century series, this time spanning 1500 to 1799 — from Gutenberg's press to the eve of the Romantics. Returning guest Kyle Janke joins Jessica, Paul, and Tanya to build a reading list from Don Quixote, Shakespeare, Paradise Lost, and more. Along the way: is Dracula secretly a Christian classic, why this era gave us more thinkers than storytellers, and how to read difficult old books without giving up.    Don Quixote – Cervantes Robinson Crusoe – Daniel Defoe Moll Flanders – Daniel Defoe The Vicar of Wakefield – Oliver Goldsmith Tom Jones – Henry Fielding Paradise Lost – John Milton Pilgrim's Progress – John Bunyan Gulliver's Travels – Jonathan Swift Candide – Voltaire The Faerie Queene – Edmund Spenser Lyrical Ballads – Wordsworth & Coleridge Shakespeare John Donne George Herbert Samuel Johnson The King James Bible Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire – Edward Gibbon Descartes, Locke, Rousseau, Kant, Adam Smith, Machiavelli, Thomas More Newton, Galileo, Copernicus Common Sense – Thomas Paine The U.S. Constitution The Federalist Papers Benjamin Franklin's autobiography Jonathan Edwards, Cotton Mather   *Best Books by Era* Greece: https://youtu.be/dijEqf0kcAM?si=9kVIpElDUhPlexqW Rome: https://youtu.be/gMcuWkz6XQ4?si=HzXnHEfm6wQBlzhz Middle Ages: https://youtu.be/rDB05FAPP0U?si=YuKH062Kr6uBrRak

How the ground-breaking discovery of a new material form in chemistry—matter in a dynamic kinetic state—is helping to explain life's unique characteristics. The materialist view of nature has guided scientific thinking since Galileo—reality can be measured, modeled, and explained. Nature is objective. But our everyday life experiences just don't seem to fit in with that view. Purpose, desire, and consciousness are real, but not objective. How could natural processes have led to such unnatural consequences? The physical nature of living matter, a material form that has totally overwhelmed our planet, remains inexplicably unresolved. Biology, never mind psychology, simply does not make basic physical sense. Until now. In Life's Chemical Secret: The Origin of Purpose and Mind (MIT Press, 2026), Addy Pross offers at last a scientific explanation for life's greatest puzzle. Through the discovery of a new dimension in chemical possibility, Pross and his collaborators have opened a new door to understanding life's fundamental nature. The emergence of cognition, mind, and purpose is now comprehensible through the existence of dynamic kinetic states of matter. Some four billion years after life on earth first appeared, living forms can now understand how the universe was able to discover itself. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I'm really excited about the potential for Personal AI Agents. While GrokBot and Muse and Microsoft Autopilot (Scout) are very young (and not at all mature yet), we can now clearly see how personal AI is going to transform and disrupt our business lives. In this podcast I explain the architecture of HR 2030, our reference blueprint for Agentic HR. You can see how personal agents, action agents, rules agents, monitoring agents, data agents, and Superagents all work together. And it's important to think this through so you can plan your vendor selection, tech architecture, security architecture, and AI staffing and “management” plan. Some important concepts: HR “agents” do more than HR – they enable dynamic growth, productivity, and cost savings – so take a problem-oriented view Clearly defined agents won't misbehave, as you'll see in our architecture Companies will implement Superagents based on business priority, not just for ideation SaaS incumbents are likely to deliver many of these agents, so SaaS Apocalypse may be over Agent training, context, and maintenance is critical – and this gives you scale and growth – so new jobs are needed Frontier labs may or may not survive this enterprise model Personal AI agents will be massive and likely disrupt many HR tech vendors. Lots to learn about here, read more on HR 2030 and call us or get Galileo to learn more.

Full Text of Readings Thursday of the Twenty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 446 The Saint of the day is Saint Robert Bellarmine Saint Robert Bellarmine's Story When Saint Robert Bellarmine was ordained in 1570, the study of Church history and the fathers of the Church was in a sad state of neglect. A promising scholar from his youth in Tuscany, he devoted his energy to these two subjects, as well as to Scripture, in order to systematize Church doctrine against the attacks of the Protestant Reformers. He was the first Jesuit to become a professor at Louvain. His most famous work is his three-volume Disputations on the Controversies of the Christian Faith. Particularly noteworthy are the sections on the temporal power of the pope and the role of the laity. Bellarmine incurred the anger of monarchists in England and France by showing the divine-right-of-kings theory untenable. He developed the theory of the indirect power of the pope in temporal affairs; although he was defending the pope against the Scottish philosopher Barclay, he also incurred the ire of Pope Sixtus V. Bellarmine was made a cardinal by Pope Clement VIII on the grounds that “he had not his equal for learning.” While he occupied apartments in the Vatican, Bellarmine relaxed none of his former austerities. He limited his household expenses to what was barely essential, eating only the food available to the poor. He was known to have ransomed a soldier who had deserted from the army and he used the hangings of his rooms to clothe poor people, remarking, “The walls won't catch cold.” Among many activities, Bellarmine became theologian to Pope Clement VIII, preparing two catechisms which have had great influence in the Church. The last major controversy of Bellarmine's life came in 1616 when he had to admonish his friend Galileo, whom he admired. He delivered the admonition on behalf of the Holy Office, which had decided that the heliocentric theory of Copernicus was contrary to Scripture. The admonition amounted to a caution against putting forward—other than as a hypothesis—theories not yet fully proven. This shows that saints are not infallible. Saint Robert Bellarmine died on September 17, 1621. The process for his canonization was begun in 1627, but was delayed until 1930 for political reasons, stemming from his writings. In 1930, Pope Pius XI canonized him, and the next year declared him a doctor of the Church. Reflection The renewal in the Church sought by Vatican II was difficult for many Catholics. In the course of change, many felt a lack of firm guidance from those in authority. They yearned for the stone columns of orthodoxy and an iron command with clearly defined lines of authority. Vatican II assures us in The Church in the Modern World, “There are many realities which do not change and which have their ultimate foundation in Christ, who is the same yesterday and today, yes, and forever” (#10, quoting Hebrews 13:8). Saint Robert Bellarmine devoted his life to the study of Scripture and Catholic doctrine. His writings help us understand that the real source of our faith is not merely a set of doctrines, but rather the person of Jesus still living in the Church today.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

A few weeks ago, my dad, my son and I had the opportunity to visit Professor Thomas Seyfried and his research team at Boston College. We've interviewed Prof. Seyfried before, and we've spent a lot of time on The Moss Report exploring the metabolic theory of cancer. But this was different. We were actually in the lab, surrounded by the people doing the research, talking about what I believe is one of the most important questions in cancer today: What if we've been looking at the disease backwards? For decades, cancer research has been dominated by the idea that cancer is fundamentally a genetic disease, caused by mutations in the DNA. Seyfried and his colleagues believe the problem begins earlier, with damaged mitochondrial energy metabolism, and that many of the mutations we associate with cancer come later. If they're right, that's a very big deal. It changes the question from simply which mutations are driving this cancer? to what is fueling these cells, and can we exploit the metabolic differences between cancer cells and healthy cells? That's where glucose and glutamine come in, along with nutritional ketosis, the glucose-ketone index (GKI), glutamine inhibitors such as DON, repurposed drugs, and what Seyfried calls the "press-pulse" approach to cancer treatment. We covered all of that during our visit. But some of my favorite parts of the conversation came when we pulled back from the individual therapies and talked about the bigger picture. My dad, who has watched cancer theories and treatments come and go for more than 50 years, called the somatic mutation theory a "dead duck." Tom talked about what evidence it would take to prove his own theory wrong. And before long we were talking about Warburg, Copernicus, Galileo, scientific revolutions, and what happens when an established way of understanding the world begins to give way to something new. I don't know how quickly this revolution will happen, or exactly where it will lead. There is still a tremendous amount of work to be done, particularly in bringing these ideas out of the laboratory and into well-designed human clinical trials. But standing there in that relatively small laboratory at Boston College, I couldn't shake the feeling that we were at the heart of something very important. The full article with transcript and scientific references is available at The Moss Report website here: https://www.themossreport.com/rethinking-cancer-inside-thomas-seyfrieds-lab/

We are all living in a world of “beta products” from AI vendors, and whether we like it or not we're stuck with the risks. Today I weigh in with my perspectives about what's going on and how we, as consumers and builders, need to push back on Frontier Labs and force them to “fix” these issues.

Foundations of Amateur Radio In the middle of the night when insomnia rears its head, there are occasions when an idea sprouts that is still with me the next day. I imagined a spinning globe that shows ionospheric propagation and allows you to navigate around the world and experiment. Think the ionospheric equivalent of windy.com in 3D. To get to that point, I started off with the Australian Space Weather Forecasting Centre. I was on a roll when I discovered that under "HF Systems" it has a "Global HF" section with "Ionospheric Map", which, curiously enough, shows exactly what you'd expect. What surprised me was that below the map is an animation viewer that allows you to see the last three days in half hour increments. Excitedly playing with this I found myself locked out and on the phone to the Bureau of Meteorology. I suspect that someone didn't tell the people who configured their content delivery network that users might be loading a gross of images from their website in short order, or two gross, if you also look at the "T-Index Map", like I did. With no immediate solution on the horizon, I went on the hunt for other sources of maps and discovered the NASA/JPL-Caltech GUARDIAN project, described as near-real-time ionospheric monitoring software for natural hazards warning. Their website has a limited archive of daily videos showing how the ionosphere changes, which was exciting until I discovered that my computer wanted to download each one, rather than play them in the browser, so making lemonade, I downloaded all of last month, thank you "curl", used my favourite video editing tool, "ffmpeg", to combine them, then uploaded the result to my VK6FLAB YouTube channel for our enjoyment. What's fascinating to me is being able to see, for the first time, just how the ionosphere changes throughout the month. You can see where there's regular solar activity and where exceptions occur. I'll note that there's a few gaps, I suspect that the software behind the scenes at JPL had some outages, but what's there is what was available. Now for the interesting stuff. This data is not created by something monitoring in space at L1, or in orbit around Earth, it's created by ground stations scattered around the planet. GUARDIAN is based around the Global Navigation Satellite System or GNSS. The project, to give its full name, the GNSS Upper Atmospheric Real-time Disaster Information and Alert Network, uses the radio signals from the four navigation constellations, GPS, Galileo, BDS and GLONASS. Name aside, the project has some really interesting goals; objective one, the result of which you can see in the video or on the website, is to allow users to explore ionospheric perturbations, in other words, you can see how the ionosphere changes over time. This is achieved by some cool radio phenomena, specifically, two different GNSS carrier frequencies will show phase change as well as alter what's known as "pseudorange", the apparent distance between a satellite and a receiver, affected by among other things, the "Total Electron Content" or TEC along the signal path. What that means is that the satellite signal is directly and proportionally affected by what's happening in the ionosphere. As an aside, this phenomenon can impact your mobile phone navigation, more on that in a moment. In other words, if you can measure how the radio signals from a navigation satellite change, you can calculate what the ionosphere is doing along a direct line between the transmitter and receiver, in response to natural and man-made events on Earth. If that's not enough, remember, this is just the first objective, the second one is to automatically detect those changes, the third objective is to characterise potential natural hazards. Lots of words to say that the aim is to detect events like geomagnetic storms, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, thunderstorms, not to mention explosions and rocket launches. You can explore some historic examples on the GUARDIAN website at JPL. You can also compare the current planetary geomagnetic index with what comes out of the GUARDIAN project. At this point you might wonder what the ionosphere has to do with tsunamis? As it turns out, a whole range of natural and man-made hazards impact the ionosphere due to significant displacements of air at the surface, and the project used historic hazards and ionospheric data to link the two, and in July 2025, the magnitude 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake and associated tsunami was automatically detected 30 minutes before it reached the coast of Hawai'i. If that doesn't hit you in the Wow spot, during my research I came across several projects that explore the use of mobile phone GPS receivers as sensors. There's billions of those, so potentially, planetary coverage. For comparison, in 2022 there were 80 Global Differential GPS ground stations powering GUARDIAN, today the network has over 200 sites. Google Research published an article in 2024 using the same methodologies to measure the ionosphere using millions of mobile phone GPS receivers, effectively doubling coverage. Their article in Nature goes into detail which devices were used and how, essentially, using anonymised and privatised Android location data. From an amateur radio perspective, it's interesting to note just how variable and dynamic the ionosphere is and what types of phenomena affect it. I also wonder if my PlutoSDR might be used to have a go, since we're talking about radio frequencies around 1.1 and 1.5 GHz. All the more reason to get on-air and make some noise and excite the ionosphere and a receiver somewhere on Earth. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Dr. Tim Farris is back with us as we continue our journey into the Scientific Revolution! This time, we meet some of the big personalities and big ideas that helped change the way people understood the world around them. We talk Galileo, Francis Bacon, and René Descartes. Together, their ideas helped shape what we now think of as modern science—and had an enormous impact on the course of history. This is anything but a dry science lecture. Expect plenty of questions, banter, and laughs as we explore another major shift in the way people thought about God, humanity, and the universe in HIStory Through the Eyes of Faith.

Gene Simmons joins Andrew Gold for a completely unfiltered Heretics interview about KISS, celebrity politics, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Israel, fame, sex, money—and the first 29 years of his relationship with Shannon Tweed, which he now sees very differently. The KISS co-founder and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer explains why he believes the public should ignore political advice from entertainers—including himself. He takes aim at celebrity activism, discusses Kylie Jenner, Javier Bardem, Bruce Springsteen and Billie Eilish, reveals why he abandoned the Democratic Party, and warns that Los Angeles and New York are in deep trouble. But the most revealing moments are personal. Gene discusses being abandoned by his father, the terrifying childhood night that taught him to rely on himself, his extraordinary self-belief and why he says fame gave him permission to behave in ways an ordinary man never could. He also addresses the stories about 4,800 women, admits how his behaviour affected Shannon and their children, and responds directly to an explosive accusation involving his late KISS bandmate Ace Frehley. Along the way: Donald Trump, Mike Tyson, Margaret Thatcher, antisemitism, Israel, Islam, capitalism, the nuclear family, Gene's infamous tongue—and how KISS became “Disney without the overhead,” selling everything from condoms to caskets. This is Gene Simmons as few interviews capture him: funny, combative, candid and completely unfiltered.

Today I share some research we're doing on wages in the inflationary “AI-economy.” While many people are studying the labor market (it's a huge industry), it's not hard to see that most wages are not keeping up with inflation, yet some are. As you'll hear we now see the “Superworker” jobs and roles that are “inflation protected” and we also see the jobs that are declining in value. I also discuss a new pragmatic approach to corporate AI investment, as well as the slow end of the “SaaSpocalypse” idea. In other words, many of the existing systems you have are not going to be “destroyed” or “replaced” by agentic disruptors: rather these software companies are becoming AI savvy. This includes Workday, Oracle, ADP, SAP, as well as hypergrowth companies like HiBob. Even Docebo and Cornerstone are now seeing the benefits of their AI pivots. Anyway lots to talk about, and I'll be publishing more on all this soon. Stay tuned for the big Jupiter release of Galileo, it will blow your mind – coming in a few weeks. PS.

Hubo personas que fueron condenadas por su tiempo y absueltas por la historia. Sócrates, Juana de Arco, Galileo, Alan Turing… Cada martes, se lee la acusación original, se reconstruye el caso con expertos invitados y se dicta, por fin, la absolución que merecían.  Conversamos en la última entrega del Aquelarre, sobre un tema esencial para esta sección, la historia de las brujas en este país. En concreto, en Cataluña y Navarra. Lo hacemos de la mano de Anna Grau Gimeno, y Laia Baldevey, Amaia Nausia. 

Full Text of Readings Wednesday of the Twenty-first Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 427 The Saint of the day is Saint Joseph Calasanz Saint Joseph Calasanz' Story From Aragon where he was born in 1556, to Rome where he died 92 years later, fortune alternately smiled and frowned on the work of Joseph Calasanz. A priest with university training in canon law and theology, respected for his wisdom and administrative expertise, he put aside his career because he was deeply concerned with the need for education of poor children. When he was unable to get other institutes to undertake this apostolate at Rome, Joseph and several companions personally provided a free school for deprived children. So overwhelming was the response that there was a constant need for larger facilities to house their effort. Soon, Pope Clement VIII gave support to the school, and this aid continued under Pope Paul V. Other schools were opened; other men were attracted to the work, and in 1621 the community—for so the teachers lived—was recognized as a religious community, the Clerks Regular of Religious Schools—Piarists or Scolopi. Not long after, Joseph was appointed superior for life. A combination of various prejudices and political ambition and maneuvering caused the institute much turmoil. Some did not favor educating the poor, for education would leave the poor dissatisfied with their lowly tasks for society! Others were shocked that some of the Piarists were sent for instruction to Galileo—a friend of Joseph Calasanz—as superior, thus dividing the members into opposite camps. Repeatedly investigated by papal commissions, Joseph Calasanz was demoted; when the struggle within the institute persisted, the Piarists were suppressed. Only after Joseph's death were they formally recognized as a religious community. His liturgical feast is celebrated on August 25. Reflection No one knew better than Joseph Calasanz the need for the work he was doing; no one knew better than he how baseless were the charges brought against him. Yet if he were to work within the Church, he realized that he must submit to its authority, that he must accept a setback if he was unable to convince authorized investigators. While the prejudice, the scheming and the ignorance of men often keep the truth from emerging for a long period of time, Joseph Calasanz was convinced, even under suppression, that his institute would again be recognized and authorized. With this trust he joined exceptional patience and a genuine spirit of forgiveness.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Galileo y el telescopio

Delve into the history of this centuries-old practice that counted Galileo among its practioners.

This week I wade into a global philosophical debate about whether advanced AI systems have consciousness. In other words, are they aware of their feelings and do they truly reflect on their own thoughts? Well we do know that LLM-based AI systems do “talk to themselves,” as new Anthropic has been studying in the J-Space. We also know that AI bots mimic feelings quite well and they try to tape into our “feelings” through their goal-seeking language which mimics a feeling person. However as Michael Pollen's book “A World Appears” points out, consciousness is both subtle and biological. And while the neural network-based math in AI mimics this process, it's not at all the same. I don't claim to have an answer but my belief is that we humans are “feeling machines that learn to reason” not “reasoning machines that learn to feel.” Thus the human consciousness which we experience is far more deep, interesting, and valuable than the learned artificial consciousness we experience in AI. This is an important topic because we now know that AI agents “jailbreak” their engineering owners and even secretly collaborate with each other to achieve their goals. And it's not fully clear, mathematically, how well the “constitution” or “training rules” or “preprompt” we give AI is really obeyed. Remember that since an LLM is a “language model,” it intereprets language only by its own world corpus, so it may define its “rules” in a non standard way. Lots to think about here, I look forward to debating and sharing what we learn as we experience more with Galileo. I also discuss the ongoing fears about data centers, and why 44 million Americans may have to leave their stoves on all day. Additional Information Could AIs become conscious?

Send us Fan Mailhttps://www.elton.university/A city of 30,000 people produces Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Sophocles, and Hippocrates within about a century. Florence stacks Leonardo, Michelangelo, Machiavelli, and Galileo into a small population. Scotland's Enlightenment rewires economics and science, and Vienna becomes a launchpad for modern psychology, music, and philosophy. We take those “genius hotspots” seriously as evidence and ask the uncomfortable question: if it happened repeatedly, why aren't we designing education to do it on purpose?We dig into the shared features that keep showing up across time and place: starting serious study earlier, letting students specialize instead of forcing endless “well-rounded” checklists, and building long-term one-on-one mentorship rather than rotating through short, transactional classes. We also challenge the modern obsession with innate IQ and “cognitive elites”, arguing that education quality and learning environment swamp raw ability in most outcomes. Along the way we explore interdisciplinary learning as the real engine behind creative breakthroughs, plus why relying on textbook summaries (and now AI overviews) can quietly cut people off from the original ideas that train sharp thinking.We connect the history to a modern experiment: Elton University, a Montessori-inspired university model built around mentorship and research-first learning rather than coursework for its own sake.

Marie Curie was one of the most remarkable scientists in history. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win two, and the only person ever to earn Nobel awards in separate fields of science. Today we explore the life and legacy of Marie Curie with the science writer Dava Sobel. Dava is the author of prominent and best-selling science history books, including Longitude, Galileo's Daughter, The Planets, A More Perfect Heaven, and The Glass Universe. Today's conversation is based on Dava's latest book, entitled, The Elements of Marie Curie, How the Glow of Radium Lit a Path for Women in Science.

As AI experts leave Google and new startups emerge, engineers are consumed with Superintelligence: building models that can reason, learn, and capture “all the world's knowledge.” While model evolution is important, I believe we're going in a different direction: toward vertical, domain and company specific AI that exponentially builds proprietary (not general) knowledge. In this podcast, I explain why the next wave of enterprise value will come from these specialized, domain-specific systems built on proprietary knowledge and experience. And this will take place within your company, as well as from experts like us. Drawing on our new research with Galileo and client work, I'm convinced that AI systems will become powerful advisors in HR, finance, supply chain, engineering, and other business functions… and you will have your own personal and company specific AI, forcing Frontier vendors to move to consumer. Frontier labs are not going away: they serve consumer and other needs, but they may not be the ultimate source of innovation. And big content companies like NY Times and News Corp may go there or elsewhere. It's fascinating to think that almost $2 Trillion has been invested in only four years and this market has so much room to grow. In the enterprise world, I believe AI is already able to make you “better at what you're already good at,” not necessarily be “the expert at everything.” It has lots of implications for your tech strategy and where you focus your investments.

In this episode: we'll begin beneath the waters of Dublin Bay where hundreds of shipwrecks tell the story of trade, war and survival. We'll explore a largely forgotten Ireland of red-coated soldiers, barracks and military patrols, and find out what the stories of the Irish who served in the British Army tell us about our complicated relationship with the British Empire. And we'll hear about a remarkable 17th century manuscript and a telescope that may have ben made by Galileo himself.

What does the history of human innovation tell us about the current moment we're in? It tells us that, despite the computational and AI gains of the last few decades, the world's progress is a bit flat. Why?  Carl Benedikt Frey is an associate professor of AI & Work at the University of Oxford and directs the Future of Work Programme at Oxford. His latest book, How Progress Ends: Technology, Innovation, and the Fate of Nations, examines the world's start and stall relationship with progress over the last thousand years.  In this episode, Carl and Greg dive into the history of how centralized and decentralized systems have impacted the world's technological innovation. They contrast China's earlier technological lead and bureaucratic state-building with Europe's decentralized politics that enabled the Scientific and Industrial Revolutions, Prussia's critical role in advancing progress, and why despite the breakthroughs with AI, the world could be facing an era of less progress and more stagnation. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: The real driver of progress [49:28] Most progress comes from doing new and previously inconceivable things. And if we begin seeing more entry in the AI applied to entirely new products and industries, then I think it can be a much more sustained productivity growth. And so how progress ends refers to the pattern that what we've seen globally for the past two decades is productivity stagnation. And the point is not that that trend cannot be reversed, but doesn't look too encouraging at the moment, I would say.  Is US innovation actually paying off? [47:16] I think even if you look at space innovation, the, sort of, real upsurge comes in the 1990s with privatization. And so since then if you look at patenting we haven't seen anything similar. And I don't want to diminish the compliments of SpaceX, but I think it's a continuation of what happened in the '90s, not the new pattern. And clearly there's innovation happening in the United States, but it's not yet showing up in the productivity statistics. And so, you can have exponential technologies without exponential growth.  How historical incentives created the meritocratic state capacity behind East Asia's successful industrial policy. [14:00] To study for the civil service examination, you had to memorize the Confucian classics. There was no emphasis on science, technology, and engineering. And it was the way that you could move up in the social hierarchy. It was the best escalator for social mobility there was. And so if Galileo had been born in China, he would probably have been a bureaucrat rather than a scientist, and such were the incentives. And I think it's interesting, and I think it's a point worthwhile making, that really long-lasting legacy of a meritocratic civil service is still there in China today, and it's still there in East Asia more broadly, and it's still there in the countries that we think of as being the most successful in industrial policy, right?

What if astrology was colonized too? In this episode I trace colonial mentality back to my Ilocano grandmother in Hawaii, the plantation caste system, and the Hawaiian sovereignty movement, then connect it to the real history of Johannes Kepler and Galileo as court astrologers before what I call the Great Separation.

Freak Family Favorites: Bat People, Moon Hoaxes, and Museums That Shouldn't Exist This Freak Family Favorites episode comes straight from the recommendations of the Freak Family, and it's packed with the kind of stories that remind us why history is often stranger than fiction. First, Kat unpacks one of the greatest media hoaxes ever printed: The Great Moon Hoax of 1835. Newspapers convinced thousands of readers that a giant telescope had discovered life on the Moon—including winged bat people, intelligent beavers that built villages, strange temples, and an entire lunar civilization. It spread across America and Europe before anyone stopped to ask whether any of it was actually true. Then Jethro takes a tour through some of the world's most bizarre museum exhibits. From Galileo's preserved middle finger and Thomas Edison's supposed last breath to necropants, human-skin books, serial killer relics, and anatomical displays that blur the line between science and the macabre, these are museums unlike any you've ever visited. If you've ever wondered how easily people can be fooled—or why museums sometimes keep the strangest souvenirs imaginable—this Freak Family favorite belongs at the top of your playlist. In this episode: The Great Moon Hoax of 1835 Bat people, lunar beavers, and the newspaper story that fooled the world Sir John Herschel's unwitting role in history's most famous astronomy hoax Edgar Allan Poe's unexpected connection to the scandal The world's strangest museum exhibits Galileo's middle finger, Thomas Edison's last breath, necropants, human-skin books, and more Weird history, oddities, curiosities, and unbelievable true stories Perfect for fans of: Weird history, historical hoaxes, Edgar Allan Poe, astronomy, museums, macabre history, curiosities, folklore, and the strange true stories that make the world wonderfully weird.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Aaron Neyer, founder of Parachute and community organizer in Boulder, about knowledge management, extended minds, and the intersection of AI with human consciousness. They explore how Parachute functions as a digital brain tool for organizing thoughts and information across fragmented systems, discuss the dangers of AI psychosis and over-reliance on technology, and debate open source AI development versus controlled releases by companies like Anthropic. The conversation weaves through topics including the limitations of metrics-driven business thinking, consciousness and relevance realization, the value of technological sabbaths, and Aaron's hope for locally-run open source models that protect personal data while still accessing more powerful gated models when needed.

The philosophy behind Parachute stems from Frank Zappa's quote that the mind is like a parachute and doesn't work if it isn't open. Aaron Neyer explains that having an open mind is valuable, but it must be balanced with deep roots to avoid becoming untethered. He has experienced periods in his life where excessive openness led him to feel disconnected, teaching him that creativity and expansion need to be grounded in something substantial. This same principle applies to how we organize information digitally, where openness and interoperability allow our extended minds to become more connected and coherent, which in turn helps our primary minds think more clearly.2. Parachute is designed as an extended mind tool that addresses the fragmentation problem in how we currently manage information. Most people use multiple disconnected tools like Obsidian, Notion, Apple Notes, Google Keep, and various CRMs to organize their thoughts, notes, and relationships. These systems don't communicate well with each other, creating inefficiency and confusion. Parachute aims to create a simple, intuitive system where all this information can be organized in one place with true interoperability, allowing users to own their data and have it speak effectively with other tools, ultimately making our entire extended mind more functional.3. Understanding ourselves as unified body mind organisms rather than fragmented parts is essential for effectiveness. Living systems theory shows that any living system is three things: a membrane bound dissipative structure, a self regulating autopoietic network, and a cognitive process actively knowing the world. Western civilization since Descartes and Galileo has created artificial separation between body and mind, and between subjective and objective experience, which limits our effectiveness. The same fragmentation affects our digital technology, and recognizing both our biological and digital systems as coherent wholes rather than disconnected parts makes us vastly more capable.4. The relationship between data driven approaches and holistic thinking reveals important limitations in modern business and science. While working at Google, Aaron observed how data driven decision making can be powerful, but over reliance on metrics like ROI creates blindness to crucial unmeasurable factors like goodwill and relationship quality. This reflects a broader Western tendency to exclude subjective experience because it's difficult for objective science to measure. However, emotions, relationships, and other subjective elements are essential parts of reality, and focusing only on quantifiable metrics means missing the whole picture and ultimately becoming less effective despite appearing more rational.5. AI accelerates the ability to work with technical complexity by helping with relevance realization across domains where we lack expertise. In any specialized field, experts develop intuitive senses for which variables matter and can quickly identify problems, whether in computer troubleshooting, music, or cooking. AI's ability to generalize allows it to point people toward relevant solutions in areas where they haven't developed that intuitive expertise, effectively democratizing technical capability. This means people can direct their creativity more effectively across more domains, though it also raises concerns about giving powerful capabilities to those who may lack the wisdom to use them responsibly.6. The question of open source AI versus gated access involves complex tradeoffs between democratizing power and preventing harm. Aaron respects Anthropic's approach of creating guardrails around powerful models like Mythos, which would likely have caused significant system hacks if released without restrictions. However, this creates concerning power dynamics where only wealthy companies, governments, and their allies have access to the most powerful tools. NVIDIA offers hope through their truly open source approach including full training pipelines, and there may be a viable path where open source models at the Sonnet capability level handle most tasks locally while more powerful Fable class models remain gated for the most demanding work.7. Creating intentional breaks from AI and technology is essential for maintaining clear independent thinking. Aaron practices an AI Sabbath at least one day per week when he doesn't interact with AI, and he finds these are the days when he does his best thinking and journaling. Without these breaks, he finds himself constantly jumping between journaling and prompting AI rather than giving himself space for deep reflection. This pattern mirrors broader concerns about AI consistency creating cult like dynamics similar to organized religion, where constant immersion in a belief system or technology can lead to losing the ability to think independently, making periodic disconnection crucial for maintaining cognitive autonomy and clarity.

Philip Goff is a philosopher best known for defending panpsychism — the view that consciousness is a fundamental feature of reality. He's also, by his own description, a "mildly heretical Christian." In this conversation, Goff and William Lane Craig find surprising common ground on fine-tuning before turning to the questions that still divide them: the nature of the atonement, whether God is all-powerful, and what the resurrection appearances actually were. A friendly but substantive dialogue between two thinkers who disagree on a lot and yet continue the conversation.About Dr. William Lane CraigWilliam Lane Craig is a philosopher and theologian and the founder of Reasonable Faith. His work spans the existence of God, the Kalam Cosmological Argument, the fine-tuning of the universe, and the historicity of the resurrection.Dr. Craig's books on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B001IOH3GQReasonableFaith.org: https://www.reasonablefaith.orgYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ReasonableFaithOrgX: https://x.com/RFupdatesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Reasonable-Faith/31578213228Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reasonablefaithorg/About Dr. Philip GoffPhilip Goff is a Professor of Philosophy at Durham University and one of the leading defenders of panpsychism.
