Welcome to part two of our double bill on famous dystopia! In this episode Dan Holder and I delve into the 1931 novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. While disecting Huxley's vision of a dys(u?)topia, we chat about:  How this should've been an essay Is this even dystopia? Boring mantra and cliches; and how they are the death of thought The passing of fads vs art Hedonistic "happiness" Ignorance of what you might want Biological manipulation Side effects of technology External vs Internal reasons for doing things Chestertons fence Scientific "arrogance" The ego when it is asked to elaborate on a conviction  Disagreeability in thinkers   There is also spoilers for the movie Gattica at 40:05.  This episode was a blast, talk soon!

In episode 33 we're talking Neil, Dafoe, and Hawke in the action-sci-fi-horror hybrid that is 2009's Daybreakers - a movie that reminded late 00's and 10's audiences that Vampires can still be bloody and fun (and not cut from the Team Edward or Team Jacob cloth). With shades of Gattica and a character-driven genre as the guiding force, we find Daybreakers to be enjoyable. In Segment 1's Comfy Horror Movie Review we talk our favorite Neil, Dafoe, and Hawke career moments and in Segment 2's Horror, Etc Carrie drops her Top 10 90's vampire flicks and Case reads a sliver of the book that inspired Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce: Space Vampires!

Howdy from Texas, You Beautiful Soul!Today on the podcast, I'm joined by one of the most brilliant thinkers you'll ever hear--mind you, this isn't what HE says, it's just my estimation of him, how he thinks, and the extraordinarily unique way in which he approaches all things in life.It's my friend, Ameer Rosic.From his bio at AmeerRosic.com, he's a:Multiple Founder, Investor, Philosophy Junkie, and Psychonaut.You're about to be blessed with hearing Ameer talk about how he's turned from being a 9th-grade dropout into a phenomenal life of love, learning, abundance, He's one of the most interesting people you'll ever get a chance to meet, virtual or otherwise, and I know you'll get that when you press play on this edition of the podcast!In this VERY far-ranging conversation about leading a better life, here's some of what we discuss:Epigenetics. The software for life.Life Experiments.Social norms and feedback loops.Capital "R" religion and some of Ameer's spiritual beliefs (he's studied a lot into this)Spirituality as a base for our ACTIONS.The two coming futures: natural or Gattica?The thesis for A.I. and how it might think."Heaven is on Earth, and man doesn't know it."How Ameer got to be so freaking brilliant!How Ameer reads (or has a relationship with a book)!An easy hack for learning another language.How he and we remember so much of what we read and learn.What he's looking for when he reads a book.The MIRACLE of new life and him being a proud new Papa.2 BIG THINGS to lead a better life.Emotional Bank Accounts and what life is all about.And...a whole lot more. These lists are never all-inclusive!I should warn you, there are a few "F" bombs--although not nearly as many as I thought there would be, and traditional "big R" religion is tested here, so I hope you can allow that to your ears.

GABRIELLE REECE | ‘Gabby', is not only a volleyball legend, but an inspirational leader, New York Times bestselling author, wife, and mother. The former professional beach volleyball player and Nike's first female spokeswoman is the definition of both athleticism and beauty. Creator of HIGHX®, Co-Founder of XPT® and Executive Member of Laird Superfood®, Gabby is dedicated to building and leading health and fitness methods. In 1994 Gabby became Nike's first female athlete to design a shoe, and Nike's first-ever female cross-training spokesperson. Working with Tinker Hatfield, designer of the Air Jordan, Nike first launched Gabby's shoe the Air Trainer, then the Air Patrol in 1995, the Air GR in 1997 and the Air GR II in 1998, and her shoe eventually became the first women's shoe to outsellthe Air Jordan. A charismatic speaker, in the spring of 2012, Gabby was invited to Washington, DC to speak at the annual TEDMED conference on innovations in health and medicine. Gabby also has an ongoing relationship with the American Heart Association Teaching Gardens, an initiative benefitting needy schools through the planting of organic gardens, by which she speaks to children about the importance of eating healthy and regular exercise. She has regularly appeared on Good Morning America, The Today Show, the Ellen Degeneres Show and Chelsea Lately, as well as other top tier entertainment shows. She has also appeared in several feature films, where she played a pro beach volleyball player in ‘Cloud Nine' with Bert Reynolds (2004), a guest star in ‘North Shore' (2004) and as a physical trainer in the film ‘Gattica'. When Women's Sports & Fitness named Gabby one of the ‘20 Most Influential Women in Sports' (August 1997) someone asked why they picked Gabby for the issue's cover, and the magazine's editor wrote, “Because I believe she represents, finally, the answer to all the image-questing pendulum swinging of the decades gone by. Who is the female athlete? She is everything once thought to be an inherent contradiction. She is strong and beautiful, sweaty and feminine, tough and ladylike.” Follow Gabby Reece on Social Media Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/gabbyreece/Website - https://www.gabriellereece.com/bio/Follow The Story Box on Social MediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcastFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/125781678801513YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEXHMRPxW0qoxV8kKjaFdYwIf you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to YouTube & Apple Podcasts, and leave a 5-star positive rating and review over on Apple Podcasts.

Stephen Euin Cobb (your host) gives his opinion on a variety of future topics. Topics: how popular science fiction movies effect decision making within our civilization; immortality through nanotechnology; movies such as: Blade Runner, Terminator, Minority Report, and Gattica; virtual realities (such as Second Life and World of Warcraft); why human augmentation may be inevitable; the widespread resistance to human augmentation which exists already; the creation of human organs using 3D printers which print with living cells; the de Vinchi surgical machine; the novel Rollback (by Robert J. Sawyer); Life Extension and Age Reversing; measurable loss of function in the various organs of the body; the likely availability of life extension technologies, and the effect they may have on the future of civilization. This is the November 16, 2011 episode of The Future And You. [Running time: 42 minutes]. This interview of Stephen Euin Cobb was recorded using Skype on October 15, 2011, and was conducted by Richard Buxton (a screenwriter and film student in London) as part of Richard's research for his thesis, which concerns the cumulative effect science fiction movies have on civilization. Richard Buxton studied Fine Art at Central St Martins in London, and completed an MA in Production Design for Film & TV at Kingston University. Currently he is working toward a Film Making Degree at SAE Institute London with an emphasis in screenwriting. Part of that work will be his thesis which concerns the effect which science fiction films have had on society. He writes for Tracksounds (a website dedicated to film scores) and has appeared on SoundCast (a podcast of interviews and commentary about film scores). Stephen Euin Cobb is an author, futurist, magazine writer and host of the award-winning podcast The Future And You. He is also a artist, essayist, game designer, transhumanist, and is on the Advisory Board of the Lifeboat Foundation. Three years a columnist and contributing editor for Jim Baen's Universe Magazine, he has also become a regular contributor at Robot Magazine, H+ Magazine, Space and Time Magazine: and has written for Digit, Grim Couture and Port Iris magazines. His novels include: Bones Burnt Black, Plague at Redhook and Skinbrain.  News Item: CBS News reports that Ridding body of old "zombie" cells slows aging process, study shows. Mayo Clinic scientists may have hit upon a way to slow the aging process. The key, they report in a tantalizing new study, is purging the body of senescent cells - old "zombie" cells that no longer work as they should.
