"We are going to see incredible magical things happen and we're going to see horrible, horrific things that AI can do because it's reflecting who we are. It's reflecting us."   On this episode of HYPERSCALE, I am joined by Gray Scott,  Futurist, Techno-Philosopher, Speaker, and Founder and CEO of SeriousWonder. He is also a professional member of The World Future Society, and the co-organizer of the NY Futurists Meetup.   Gray Scott is quickly becoming widely recognized as one of the most exciting, inspiring and controversial futurists of our time, speaking and writing on a variety of futuristic subjects, including: life extension, artificial wombs, mind-to-machine technologies, artificial intelligence, cyborgs, future digital consciousness, longevity, digital brain preservation, post-human philosophy, transhumanism, the technological singularity, and more.   From exploring possibilities such as our world being part of a simulation not unlike the Matrix, to uploading our minds to machine and fully conscious androids housing intelligent AI that feels, cares and emotes, Gray's ideas and philosophies redefine outside-the-box thinking.  Tune in as we explore the secrets of our future.   FOLLOW ►  Instagram: https://bit.ly/briarig   LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/briarlinkedin   TikTok: https://bit.ly/briartiktok   WEBSITE: https://briarprestidgeofficial.com

You all might remember Gray Scott from his earlier episode and from being an active member in a bunch of detailing groups. In 2020 when the TikTok craze happened Gray said "I'm a Peacock and I gotta fly!" and so he became the TikTok Peacock. So it's been a couple of years and we wanted to catch up with Gray and see what he's been up to and how the whole TikTok thing was going. With so many detailers wanting to be "social media famous" Gray gives us the real deal on just how hard that is.

"Halee, what happened to you was rape. And if you don't call it that, you're never going to get better," Halee's co-worker said to Halee when she finally told someone the true story 4 months later. Our guest today is the Christian spiritual formation and leadership scholar Dr. Halee Gray Scott, Ph.D. She speaks with a slight, charming Texas drawl. "I grew up in serious country," Texas-native Dr. Halee Gray Scott, Ph.D., begins her story by saying. "I swam in crocodile-infested waters" exploring the nooks and crannies of the East-Texas wilderness. Her childhood was at the same time idyllic for an insatiably curious contrarian kid such as herself, and at the same time quite frightening. There were tornadoes coming down from the uncontrollable, unpredictable and angry giant Texas sky. Later, her adventurous spirit directed her curiosity to scholarship into stable truths about Leadership and the Christian faith, about how young people's attitudes are being shaped by forces we didn't have when we were kids. Whereas the threat of a tornado kept her up at night, now it's the kids. It's the church, and what they're dealing with. It's what the churches and seminaries are or are not doing about it. Maybe they don't know what to do about it, or how to be. Halee's heart is as follows: she hopes to help others to get trained to fill the gap between the challenges facing Leadership and the training they receive. She first got on the radio at 15 years old. Now, she has a Ph.D., is a syndicated radio host, and author of Dare Mighty Things: Mapping the Challenges of Leadership for Christian Women. Her latest book is Not a Hopeless Case: 6 Vital Questions from Young Adults for a Church in Crisis, available April 2023. Check out Christian Curious Radio Program here: https://www.christiancurious.com/ In this wide-ranging discussion, we talk touch on the Kingdom of God and the ethics of eating meat, and naturally from that to hunting. I take the American Indian perspective, for the most part, on the uses of the animal. We camp out on Indian-stuff for a while, what it must have been like for the settlers. We touch on the role of women in ministry. This is a huge part of her professional research. We talk about her Washington Post article where she reported having been raped by her pastor in Texas when she was a young woman, how how she has and is dealing with that. You can find the article titled "#MeToo: I was Raped by my Pastor" published October 16, 2017, https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2017/10/16/metoo-i-was-raped-by-my-pastor/ It ran in the print edition of the Post. She had come to college there at UNT, Denton an atheist, and at the time of the rape, had only been a true Christian for 3 months. Does Halee still believe that there is a good God as revealed in the Bible ? Yes, she does. But it's been a journey, and continues to be. Her passion involves protecting the possibility of that belief in the soil of other vulnerable souls, as well. It's what motivates her research and directs her professional steps. It took her 4 months to tell anyone about it, and when she did, her co-worked used the appropriate term "rape." But it took her 15 years to come to terms with that word for what happened. And she had panic attacks for years every-time she went inside a church. But she's healing. We do not rush through this conversation. There is no rush. We take our time. We just enjoy the company and the conversation, and hope you do, too. The Republican Professor is a pro-coming-to-terms, pro-reminiscing-of-idyllic-childhood-conditions, pro-take-your-shoes-off-and-stay-awhile, pro-theological-discussion, pro-wrestling-with-the-problem-of-evil, pro-let's-help-not-screw-the-kids-up-and-keep-the-leadership-appropriately-trained-up-and-accountable podcast. Therefore, welcome Dr. Halee Gray Scott, Ph.D., Curious Christian The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.

“To understand the future of technology we must begin with one fundamental truth. Technology is natural and nature is technological. It is the voice of the cosmos. From the Saturn hexagon to African fractals to the Fibonacci sequence found in the growth patterns of every plant on Earth, we are surrounded by geometric, repetitive, numerical patterns—patterns we have only begun to recognize and quantify.” - Gray Scott ( futurist, philosopher, and artist who specializes in the philosophy of technology, digital consciousness, and humanity's technological evolution. ) As promised sharing the links to 3 kickstarter project I mentioned during the show. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thetoadiorder/toadi-worlds-first-autonomous-lawn-robot-powered-by-ai?ref=discovery_most_funded&term=robot https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1864378255/scribit-turn-your-wall-into-an-interactive-canvas?ref=discovery_most_funded&term=robo https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/vanguardindustries/moflin-an-ai-pet-robot-with-emotional-capabilities Listen, explore and enjoy !

Are we living in a simulated reality? Are we merely simulated quantum instances inside a holographic substrate? Is the cosmos an advanced computer simulation created by a future technologically mature human civilization?  Who are the original simulators and what are they looking for? Could our reality be the product of a lonely quantum Artificially Intelligent machine stranded on the outer edges of our galaxy in the distant future? If we are inside of a simulation, does it even need a creator or could the digital simulation be a naturally emergent infinite fractal, with no beginning and no end?  Sign up for the Gray Scott newsletter to get exclusive content: https://www.grayscott.com/core-fans Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb7e65-rD8KcstSN-AtNvvg Twitter: https://twitter.com/grayscott Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuristgrayscott/

Says Gray: “To understand the future of technology we must begin with one fundamental truth. Technology is natural and nature is technological. It is the voice of the cosmos. From the Saturn hexagon to African fractals to the Fibonacci sequence found in the growth patterns of every plant on Earth, we are surrounded by geometric, repetitive, numerical patterns—patterns we have only begun to recognize and quantify.” During the interview, Gray reveals his long-time interest in the paranormal and experiencers, UFO intelligences and the nature of the contact experience. He is also host of the "Futuristic Now" podcast.

Today's Buzz: “By 2030 the average person in the U.S. will have 4.5 packages a week delivered with flying drones. They will travel 40% of the time in a driverless car, use a 3D printer to print hyper-individualized meals, and will spend most of their leisure time on an activity that hasn't been invented yet … Most people will have stopped taking pills in favor of a new device that causes the body to manufacture its own cures. Space colonies, personal privacy, and flying cars will all be hot topics of discussion, but not a reality yet” (Thomas Frey, futuristspeaker.com). Wow!

How are we designing technology and how is technology designing us? Should we upload our consciousness to the web? How do we bring empathy into tech design? In this episode of IBM thinkLeaders podcast, we are joined by Gray Scott (futurist, techno-philosopher, and host of the digital philosophy YouTube show FUTURISTIC NOW) & Pamela Pavliscak (emotional AI researcher & faculty at Pratt Institute). We talk to Gray and Pamela about how we are co-evolving with tech, the importance of empathy in design, and whether or not we will be uploading our consciousness in the future. We also get into what it means to be human and whether humanness can be replicated, the need for multidisciplinary thinking, and how a technologist's outlook on the world impacts their design. Connect with us @IBMthinkLeaders @GrayScott @PamInTheLab “I think we should all remember is life is an experiment. We don't have it figured out. We don't have it all figured out yet. So technologists can sort of fall under the illusion that we have the basic scaffolding of life figured out. We're far from that. We're still infants in the digital revolution and we have only barely touched the surface of first what it means to be human.”-Gray Scott, futurist “I've always come up against that tension where we have technology that makes us more productive, makes us more efficient, and now I feel like we're seeing kind of the byproduct of that carry over where we're missing something from our interactions with technology. It feels maybe too efficient or too cold or too distant...And so when this new technology is coming around promising to say to bring more empathy to our interactions, I think that's worth discussing.” -Pamela Pavliscak, emotional AI researcher

This week we chat with futurist and techno-philosopher, Gray Scott. Together, we explore the philosophical, evolutionary, and biological urges transforming society. This took us on a fascinating tour through the ideas of reflection, mirroring, and simulating as they relate to the digitization of reality, the creation of artificial intelligence, and the psychedelic renaissance taking place in tech.

The buzz: “A techno-philanthropist can be ‘a young, idealistic iPad jet setter who cares about the world–the whole world–in a new way' (Peter Diamandis). Technology has created techno-philanthropists who use their money to try to solve seemingly unsolvable problems such as hunger and disease, by driving acceleration across the Sciences and Technology. For example, Bill Gates's brainchild Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV) investment fund aims to accelerate energy innovation via high-profile investors Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, Jack Ma, and Michael Bloomberg. Why and what would you give? The experts speak. Frank Diana, TCS: “On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world'' (Jack Welch).

In the light of the recent backlash against CarGurus (by some industry pundits), we decided to conduct an open professional discussion around price increases, features, and benefits for dealers on the CarGurus platform. This conversation features auto retail marketing executives Gray Scott, Chris Leslie, and Dave Rozek. Catch the video replay of the original live stream here.

This week we explore a broad range of high-concept futurist frameworks and future technologies.   My guest is Gray Scott, a visionary futurist and creator of both the Serious Wonder digital magazine and the Futuristic Now video series. Gray takes fragments of modern life and extrapolates a wholistic framework of how technology, humanity and universal physics will intertwine. We explore technology as a natural phenomenon, how the future is inside of us, recording dreams, sharing brain streams, digital twins, rogue selves, plus geometry and fractals as the foundational code of the universe.   More about Gray Scott at: https://www.grayscott.com Futuristic Now video series: https://www.youtube.com/user/GrayScottFuture Twitter: https://twitter.com/grayscott __________   More at: https://www.MindAndMachine.io

The buzz: “Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge.” (Lao Tzu) Given the uncertainty, pace, and unexpected nature of today's world, there are too many unknowns for us to effectively predict the future. Reality check: A convergence across science, technology, politics, society, economics, the environment, and growing ethics discussion, has created a complex web that requires the type of system thinking that may exceed our human capacity. Do machines hold the answer? Can they predict the path of an overwhelming number of possible futures? The experts speak. Frank Diana, TCS: “We have a duty to think hard about what may be, so as to better prepare society for the changes that may come” (Richard Baldwin). Gray Scott, Futurist: “Prediction is not just one of the things your brain does. It is the primary function of the neo-cortex, and the foundation of intelligence” (Jeff Hawkins).

The Buzz: “The robots really embody that love-hate relationship we have with technology.” (Daniel H. Wilson) Headline news: “Security robot 'in critical condition.'” Say what? It's true. When Washington D.C. security robot “Steve” took a plunge in a nearby pond, his on-the-job self-drowning accident raised two pivotal questions: Do we really wants robots in the workforce? And which jobs should go to robots versus to humans? In an SAP Digitalist Magazine online survey of more than 1,000 respondents, 60% said they would want robots to help them on the job. And Andra Keay, managing director of Silicon Valley Robotics, says robots are best suited to jobs that fall in the “Four D” categories: dirty, dull, dangerous, deadly. Is it that simple?

Editor’s note: This podcast makes reference to sexual assault. One of Hollywood’s biggest open secrets is now out in the world: heralded producer Harvey Weinstein’s notoriously long track record of sexual harassment against women. These revelations have sparked a national conversation about the relationship between men and women in the workplace, and the prevalence of sexual assault, harassment, and unwanted attention. Regardless of a workplace’s affiliation to faith, speaking out about colleagues’ bad behavior is challenging for most people, says Halee Gray Scott, the director of Denver Seminary’s Kaleo Project, who is currently writing a book exploring how men and women can work well collectively in ministry. The obstacles just manifest themselves in different ways. “I’ve worked in Christian organizations for 20 years and there is a tendency to think that everyone’s doing everything right,” said Gray Scott. “[Everyone believes that] everyone’s trying to do the godly thing. … You end up having that discretion moment where you ask, ‘Is something going wrong? I’m not sure that it is. It can’t possibly be.’” On the other hand, there may be a broader acceptance of questionable behavior at a non-religious company, she says. “In secular organizations, there is a tendency to accept a certain level of sexual impropriety as flirting or goofing off or someone having a good time,” said Gray Scott. Gray Scott joined assistant editor Morgan Lee and editor in chief Mark Galli to discuss the difference between enabling and showing discretion, why culture cares more about sexual harassment than in decades past, and how the Billy Graham rule fits into this discussion.

The buzz: The Internet of Who (Whom)? The Internet was created in 1969 to facilitate the free flow of information. The IoT inherited this spirit. Fast forward to 2016. With cameras and emerging connected devices collecting and reporting data about our lives, it seems we're designing the IoT to quantify and see ourselves clearly, like a virtual mirror. It's time to take a step back and examine what this all means and whom it benefits now and in the future. What to call it? The “IoT of the Self”. Are you ready or do you need to run for cover? The experts speak. Gray Scott, Futurist: “Technological advances could allow us to see more clearly into our own lives” (Kevin Kelly).

The experts speak. Gray Scott, Futurist: “Technological advances could allow us to see more clearly into our own lives” (Kevin Kelly). David Jonker, SAP: “… if hundreds of millions of people do that, you have a big cloud of data about people's behavior that can be crawled through by pattern recognition algorithms” (John Battelle, The Human Face of Big Data). Join us for Here's Looking at YOU, Kid: IoT of the Self and CyberCrime – Part 3.

The buzz: Crystal ball. Yes, change is inevitable. But today's unprecedented pace and scale of change presents unique challenges for the future of business. Futurists worldwide are examining and assessing potential business impacts of new and emerging paradigms, energy innovations, physical-digital boundary blurring, business decentralization, and other global drivers. What are the implications for future leaders? The experts speak. Frank Diana, TCS: “We are entering a world where everything we know and understand about the purposes of business and the mission of our own organization will be challenged” (Rohit Talwar). Gray Scott, Futurist: We are becoming a digitized species…crossing the computational event horizon into a digital black hole.” Timo Elliott, SAP: “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction” (E. F. Schumacher). Join us for Emerging Paradigms and the Future of Business.

Gray Scott's mission is to bring the concerns of the future to the public - and with recent coverage in Psychology Today, New York Post, and the World Future Society, he's picking up steam. In this interview, Gray and I discuss the most important societal shifts that he believes are opening up our generation and culture to take issues like life extension and brain-machine interface. We discuss how modern skepticism of religious dogma plays a role in the social shift towards transhumanism.

Welcome to the Serious Wonder podcast. This week Gray Scott joins up with Kevin and Kyle Russell, and Mat Lee. We bring you futuristic ideas and interviews with the intent to inspire awe and wonder.

We are constantly touching, pinching and rubbing our digital devices into submission, coaxing them into giving us the reward we desire.  You send out an idea, theory, or work of art and in return you receive a “like”, a mention or  re-Tweet. Welcome to your daily intellectual orgy. Your amygdala is primed and you are ready for a micro shot of intellectually inspired oxytocin. These little rewards create the new intellectual orgasm. I have these digital orgasms at least 100 times a day or more. My lover is usually a random stranger. They seduce me with pictures of far off lands and exotic foods, new images of the universe never before recorded, or new revelations from the field of science and technology. In return, I send out little temptations of techno-philosophy and futuristic observations. I have an intellectual orgasm when someone revels to me that I have “opened their mind” or given them “the courage to be curious again." - Gray Scott The post Futuristic Technology And Techno-Philosophy -Serious Wonder Podcast Episode #1 appeared first on SERIOUS WONDER.
