Complete Interview.   David Grann David Grann, whose latest book is “The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder,” in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded June 14, 2023 at Book Passage bookstore in Corte Madera, California. David Grann is a long-time staff writer for The New Yorker. Earlier books include Killers of the Flower Moon, soon to be a film directed by Martin Scorsese, The Devil and Sherlock Holmes, a collection of essays, and The Lost City of Z. The Wager tells the story of the HMS Wager, one of a handful of British ships sent around Cape Horn to harass the Spanish fleet in the Pacific, which went aground near the Strait of Magellan, and of the crew members who survived (and didn't) during the following year, and of the aftermath back in England. In the interview, David Grann also discusses the origins of Killers of the Flower Moon, and the relationship between all three of his books. Photos: Richard Wolinsky.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Edna O'Brien (1930-2024) ​​​​​The great Irish novelist and playwright Edna O'Brien died at the age of 93 on July 27, 2024 after a long illness. A controversial figure from the start, her first novel from 1960, The Country Girls, which dealt with sexual and social issues in Ireland following World War II, was banned in Ireland and denounced on the pulpit, and while she moved to London with her husband before publication, she never moved back to her native land. This interview was conducted in the KPFA studios on April 28, 2000 while she was on tour for her novel, “Wild Decembers,” third in a thematic trilogy of novels set in the recent past in Ireland. It was later adapted for television in 2008.. Of Edna O'Brien, from Wikipedia, the novelist Andrew O'Hagan wrote, “She changed the nature of Irish fiction, she brought the woman's experience and sex and internal lives of those people on to the page, and she did it with style, and she made those concerns international.” In her lifetime, Edna O'Brien wrote seventeen novels, several plays, eight short story collections, eight works of non-fiction, four children's books and a collection of poems. Edna O'Brien continued to write novels and plays well into her nineties. Her final novel, Girl, was published in 2019. This interview was digitized, remastered and edited in August 2024 and is heard for the first time in its entirety. A second interview, recorded in 2003 while in San Francisco working on her play “Triptych” at the Magic Theatre will be posted on a later date.     John Sayles discusses his latest novel, “Jamie MacGillivray, The Renegade's Journey,” along with his work as a writer and film-maker, with host Richard Wolinsky. Second of two parts. John Sayles is best known for his work as a director, screenwriter and actor, though this is his sixth novel. Among the films he directed are Lone Star, Sunshine State, Eight Men Out, Matewan, The Brother from Another Planet, Baby It's You and Passion Fish. His acting credits include small roles in several films, and he wrote the screenplay for the films he directed.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   John Barth (1930-2024), who died on April 2, 2024 at the age of 93, was America's leading writer of metafictional and post-modern fiction. This interview was conducted by Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff on November 12, 2001 in the KPFA studios, while on the book tour for the novel Coming Soon. John Barth began to receive notice for his two earliest novels, The Floating Opera and End of the Road in the late 1950s, but burst on the scene with his epic comic novel about colonial life in Maryland, The Sot-Weed Factor, and his allegory of the Cold War, set on a university campus, Giles Goat-Boy. His short story collection, Lost in the Funhouse and novella collection Chimera cemented his reputation as a writer of meta-fiction, as the stories zoom back on themselves and on the writing of those stories. From Wikipedia: “In his epistolary novel LETTERS (1979), Barth corresponds with characters from his other books. Later novels such as The Tidewater Tales (1987) and The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor (1991) continue in the metafictional vein, using writers as protagonists who interact with their own and other stories in elaborate ways. His 1994 Once Upon a Time: A Floating Opera casts Barth himself as the protagonist who on a sailing trip encounters characters and situations from previous works.” After the 2001 interview, he continued to work in the same vein with a triptych of novellas, Where Three Roads Meet in 2005, interrelated short stories set in a retirement community, The Development: Nine Stories in 2008, and Every Third Thought: A Novel in Five Seasons in 2011. A, book of collected stories was released in 2015 and Postscripts (or Just Desserts): Some Final Scribbling came out in 2022. This interview was both the last interview conducted with Richard Lupoff as co-host, and the final interview recorded and edited on analog tape. This program was digitized and edited in July 2024 by Richard Wolinsky, and is heard in full for the first time.   Lorrie Moore is a celebrated short story writer and novelist.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Lisa See, whose latest novel is “Lady Tan's Circle of Women,” now out in trade paperback, is interviewed by host Richard Wolinsky. Recorded  on July 14, 2023. Lisa See's best-selling books include Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Peony in Love, China Dolls, and most recently, The Island of Sea Women. Each novel, thus far, focuses on the role and lives of women of East Asian descent in various countries, including Korea, Japan, China and the United States. Some of the novels focus on a mystery, others take place within the context of historical events. Her latest novel, “Lady Tan's Circle of Women” looks at the life of an historical figure, a female doctor of upper class birth living in China in the 15th Century. As Lisa notes in the interview, the circumscribed life of Tan Yuxian bears a startling resemblance to the isolation we all felt during the Covid lockdown.

​Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues    Nancy MacLean, author of “Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America” in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded in the KPFA studios, October 20, 2017.. Nancy MacLean's 2017 book, “Democracy in Chains,” deals with the long game of the Koch brothers and their ilk, which may now have finally come to fruition with the Supreme Court legalizing bribery as “gratuities,” the overthrow of administrative protections in the areas of safety and the environment, and legalizing crimes by the President. The idea was to create a constitutional convention, which would codify laws in such a way that progressive regimes would be unable to move their programs forward, thanks to the courts, and based on how the Pinochet regime was able to control Chile after giving up power. That convention idea didn't work in this country, but thanks to Mitch McConnell and his refusal to bring Obama nominees to a vote, followed by the Trump Administration's packing of all the courts, the Koch plan wound up working anyway. In this interview, Nancy MacLean goes back to the origins of the plan, and brings us forward. Duke University Professor Nancy MacLean, in researching the life of libertarian professor James Buchanan, discovered the philosophical underpinnings of what Hillary Clinton (almost unknowingly) called the “vast right-wing conspiracy.” Funded by Charles Koch and other donors, they've taken over the GOP and have an agenda, she says, that ultimately will allow minority rule in the United States for the forseeable future. In this interview, she discusses the role of Buchanan and the Mont Pelerin Society in the underpinnings of this gradual take-over of the state and federal government, and what the goals are, according to her research.

On this episode of our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the 24th century and the continuing voyages of the USS Voyager in the far reaches of the Delta Quadrant. In this thrilling two-parter, Captain Braxton of the 29th century Federation timeship Aeon comes back in time and attempts to destroy Voyager claiming they will be responsible for a cataclysmic event that will doom humanity's future. Voyager successfully holds him off, but both ships are accidently sucked into a time portal that takes them back to 1990's Earth!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: MATS AI Safety Strategy Curriculum, published by Ryan Kidd on March 8, 2024 on LessWrong. As part of the MATS Winter 2023-24 Program, scholars were invited to take part in a series of weekly discussion groups on AI safety strategy. Each strategy discussion focused on a specific crux we deemed relevant to prioritizing AI safety interventions and was accompanied by a reading list and suggested discussion questions. The discussion groups were faciliated by several MATS alumni and other AI safety community members and generally ran for 1-1.5 h. As assessed by our alumni reviewers, scholars in our Summer 2023 Program were much better at writing concrete plans for their research than they were at explaining their research's theory of change. We think it is generally important for researchers, even those early in their career, to critically evaluate the impact of their work, to: Choose high-impact research directions and career pathways; Conduct adequate risk analyses to mitigate unnecessary safety hazards and avoid research with a poor safety-capabilities advancement ratio; Discover blindspots and biases in their research strategy. We expect that the majority of improvements to the above areas occur through repeated practice, ideally with high-quality feedback from a mentor or research peers. However, we also think that engaging with some core literature and discussing with peers is beneficial. This is our attempt to create a list of core literature for AI safety strategy appropriate for the average MATS scholar, who should have completed the AISF Alignment Course. We are not confident that the reading lists and discussion questions below are the best possible version of this project, but we thought they were worth publishing anyways. MATS welcomes feedback and suggestions for improvement. Week 1: How will AGI arise? What is AGI? Karnofsky - Forecasting Transformative AI, Part 1: What Kind of AI? (13 min) Metaculus - When will the first general AI system be devised, tested, and publicly announced? (read Resolution Criteria) (5 min) How large will models need to be and when will they be that large? Alexander - Biological Anchors: The Trick that Might or Might Not Work (read Parts I-II) (27 min) Optional: Davidson - What a compute-centric framework says about AI takeoff speeds (20 min) Optional: Habryka et al. - AI Timelines (dialogue between Ajeya Cotra, Daniel Kokotajlo, and Ege Erdil) (61 min) Optional: Halperin, Chow, Mazlish - AGI and the EMH: markets are not expecting aligned or unaligned AI in the next 30 years (31 min) How far can current architectures scale?

Do your disagreements make your timelines longer or shorter? Do you disagree with the models used to forecast AGI? That is, rather than disagree with their estimates of particular variables, do you disagree with any more fundamental assumptions of the model? How does that change your timelines, if at all?

Over 20 years ago, a good friend gifted me Rachel Pollack's Seventy-eight Degrees of Wisdom, Parts I & II and I was immediately immersed in their insightful, timeless interpretations of classic Tarot themes. The writing was fresh, fun and provocative, I learned a lot. The Psychic Funhouse read over the weekend in her wife, Judith Zoe Mateen's announcement, that Ms. Pollack passed away on Friday, April 7th, at 77. She leaves behind a tremendous legacy of writing and teaching, she created the first openly trans character in a major comic book (Coagula in DC Comics Doom Patrol), wrote several Science and Fantasy fiction novels, and crafted her wonderful work with tarot. Pollack transitioned in the 70s and supported the Gay Community and Trans Rights. Our readings and healings are dedicated to Rachel tonight.

We know Royal Thunder are special. We know Mlny is special.If doubts remained, go listen to episode #87, which was one of the most awesome conversations we've ever had on this show. But when we asked her to be a part of these episode #100 celebrations, we honestly didn't know what we were going to get. A reflection about a song, maybe? A cool song, because all Royal Thunder songs are cool. Maybe a funny anecdote, because Mlny is smart and funny. A story few had heard before, at best. Maybe. But then Mlny did that magic thing she does, always, whenever a mic is nearby, in one form or another. She blew us away with her raw honesty, her capability to dredg up all the feelings we all need to, and take us along for the ride. Starting about one song, and ending about another (let's call them one big song, okay?), Mlny takes us through a deeply personal reflection on empathy, sincerity, relationships, accountability, love and peace. And being better. Thank you, Mel.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is finally here and we're celebrating it along with all the friends we've made at Star Wars Celebration! In that spirit, today we welcome Gerry the Canon Junkie from The Bombadcast! We were gifted with a two episode season premiere so today we review and react to it.

While we may not have the reach, impact or resources of larger online presences, we do not believe that is an excuse to sit by silently as hate seeks to establish stronger footholds and threaten our most vulnerable siblings in our own galaxy."

The wait is finally over. There is so much to dig through from these two amazing episodes. Enjoy!!

Global Workspace Theory is probably oversimplified, just like the Newtonian theory of the planets and their orbits. And that's what framework theories usually do. You don't want to go to them for the details, you want to go to them for the overview. And Global Workspace is really an overview. – Dr. Bernard Baars, originator of Global Workspace Theory and Global Workspace Dynamics, a theory of human cognitive architecture, the cortex and consciousness.   Ep 18: Global Workspace Functions, the Brain and Consciousness: Connectivity, Waking, & Sleep - Part 3 In Episode 18 of our podcast On Consciousness with Bernard Baars, the third in a three-part series on GWT Origins & Evidence, we continue to explore the links between cutting edge brain evidence and how that supports or updates our understanding of consciousness and the Global Workspace Theory.   Talking Points 0:00 – Intro and Recap of Episodes 17 & 18 (Parts I & II) 6:40 – A Discussion on Sleep, Dreaming, Waking, and Consciousness 10:35 – Summary of Marcello Massimini's Research 18:35 – The Stages of Human Sleep 24:26 – What Are Neuronal Oscillations? 35:58 – Summary of Paper #1: The Sleep Slow Oscillation as a Traveling Wave (Massimini et al., 2004)  50:34 – How GWT is Related to the Findings of Paper #1: Massimini et al. (2004) 57:10 – Summary of Paper #2: Breakdown of Cortical Effective Connectivity During Sleep (Massimini et al., 2005)  1:03:43 – Discussion of Findings in Paper #2: Massimini et al. (2005) 1:20:34 – What Does Effective Connectivity Tell Us About Consciousness? 1:30:03 – Does the Evidence Support a Grand Hypothesis?   Summary What can sleep tell us about the conscious mind? After some quick introductions and a summary of the previous two episodes by Ilian, the trio delves right into the main subject of the conversation, namely what can sleep tell us about the conscious mind. Bernie explains that in everyday life, sleep is the most natural absence of consciousness and that it can serve as a comparison to moments of awareness. Next, Alea introduces the work of Marcello Massimini M.D., Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences at the University of Milan, Italy, whose papers are the central topic of discussion in this episode. She points out that Massimini's research is devoted to understanding changes in thalamocortical networks when consciousness fades and recovers, such as when we sleep and reawaken. The organ of consciousness inside the brain is a system that includes the cortex, and an egg-shaped structure inside the cortex, called thalamus. They work closely together and we call it the corticothalamic (CT) system. Alea emphasizes that in addition to neurophysiology, Massimini is interested in the theoretical and philosophical implications of the neuroscience of consciousness. Bernie, Alea, and Ilian describe the stages and the mechanisms of the sleep cycle, namely the REM and non-REM phases. The trio also define some of the terminology used in this conversation, focusing on neuronal oscillation, or the electrical patterns of activity in the central nervous system. When examined with an EEG, oscillations throughout the brain display which regions are active during a particular state.   The Sleep Slow Oscillation as a Traveling Wave The Sleep Slow Oscillation as a Traveling Wave, Massimini et al. (2004) is the first of two papers analyzed. Alea thoroughly summarizes the contents of the paper, indicating that the researchers detected traveling waves in the sleeping brain, particularly during nREM sleep. These waves had a site of origin and a direction, and most frequently originated in anterior (frontal) regions, and propagated posteriorly (back), although they can originate anywhere and propagate in any direction.  Bernie makes the point that a fundamental framework for Global Workspace Theory is precisely this broadcast and build concept. GWT implies that there is information being transmitted and these traveling waves are obviously one possible way that can reflect the transmission of information.    When We Fall Asleep, Consciousness Fades, Yet The Brain Remains Active. The second paper, titled Breakdown of Cortical Effective Connectivity During Sleep, Massimini et al. (2005), makes the observation that when we fall asleep, consciousness fades, yet the brain remains active. The researchers set out to understand why that is. They hypothesize that it is due to changes in information transfer. This ability to transfer and integrate information across multiple systems requires something called “effective connectivity” - or the ability of firing in one group of neurons to affect the firing of another. Massimini and his team suggest that consciousness is dependent on the brain's ability to integrate information. This paper does seem to offer evidence for the breakdown of long-range connectivity during sleep. This is consistent with the broadcasting hypothesis which was discussed in parts I and II of this GWT series. Bernie highlights the fact that even though the results appear to support the idea that this ability to transfer and integrate information across distant brain regions is necessary for conscious experience, the paper does have its limitations, such as the timing and measurement of the TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) pulse. In the final moments of the episode, the trio ponder what these findings might tell us about consciousness. Bernie believes that for him, the conclusions from these papers do not support the grand hypothesis of how consciousness is formed. Alea agrees, and says that although complex questions cannot be answered by a single paper, such studies serve as fundamental stepping stones to gain a better understanding of the grander picture.   We are always at the edge of ignorance.  Some people suggest that dreaming is a kind of conscious state. Very early sources claim that waking is consciousness of the world, dreaming is consciousness of an inner world, and unconscious sleep is lack of any kind of conscious content. There are several things that we think we know, and there are a lot of things we don't know. So we make our best guesses and when we find new evidence we change our guesses.   “I actually have a take-home lesson. This is to scientists and it's private. So don't tell anybody else. Try asking your subjects what they are experiencing and maybe you'll learn something.” -Bernard Baars, PhD     Cited Papers Massimini, M., Ferrarelli, F., Huber, R., Esser, S.

We're back after an unplanned break with a controversial 2 part episode. Part I starts off with an explanation of the unplanned break, guest updates and then we dive head first into the main course. Part II picks up where Part I ends and dives deeper into the topic. We're discussing the failure of mainstream media & well known organizations failing to keep the same energy they have with the murders of African American suspects by White LEO's when it comes to the violence within the African American community as a whole. A tough topic for your host to tackle, but one I think is necessary to discuss. I extended an open invitation for guest to join in, but had no takers.
