Zdravo. Tokrat začnemo z razkritjem stoletja: krivec za nakup Patrij je končno znan: to je en opraskan Pinzgauer v Pivki, ki ga je “nekdo” obdrgnil. Izumimo tudi vilkend (vikend vila) in se vprašamo zakaj se otroci v šoli ne učijo (vse)življenjskih veščin in se pripeljemo do angelčkov parkiranja in do osnovnega vprašanja kapitalizma: če moraš po 23 letih popiti 100% več piva, da bi sledil triodstotni rasti, sistem očitno ne deluje. Dokazano na gajbi piva. QED.Vmes obdelamo še Marxa in razliko med idejo in tem, kar so iz nje naredili boljševiki, Stalin in še kdo. Pridemo do dognanja, da je srečen človek slab potrošnik in da, če bi se dolgčasa malo navadili, bi bil svet drugačen. Pri 4. poglavju Zadnje priložnosti pa skočimo na Novo Zelandijo, kjer so fjordi lepi, Douglas pa sedi v helikopterju, kar pa vemo, da ne pomeni nič dobrega. Vsaj zanj.

What if consciousness isn't generated by the brain, but emerges from its interaction with a ubiquitous quantum field? In this episode, Sebastian Hassinger and theoretical physicist Joachim Keppler explore a zero‑point field model of consciousness that could reshape both neuroscience and quantum theory.SummaryThis conversation is for anyone curious about the “hard problem” of consciousness, quantum brain theories, and the future of quantum biology and AI. Joachim shares his QED‑based framework where the brain couples to the electromagnetic zero‑point field via glutamate, producing macroscopic quantum effects that correlate with conscious states. You'll hear how this model connects existing neurophysiology, testable predictions, and deep questions in philosophy of mind.What You'll Learn How a quantum field theorist ended up founding an institute for the scientific study of consciousness and building a rigorous, physics‑grounded framework for it. Why consciousness may hinge on a universal principle: the brain's resonant coupling to the electromagnetic zero‑point field, not just classical neural firing. What macroscopic quantum phenomena in the brain look like, including coherence domains, self‑organized criticality, and long‑range synchronized activity patterns linked to conscious states. How glutamate, the brain's most abundant neurotransmitter, could act as the molecular interface to the zero‑point field inside cortical microcolumns. Which concrete experiments could confirm or falsify this theory, from detecting macroscopic quantum coherence in neurotransmitter molecules to measuring glutamate‑driven biophoton emissions with a specific quantum “fingerprint.” Why Joachim sees the zero‑point field as a dual‑aspect “psychophysical” field and how that reframes classic philosophy‑of‑mind debates about qualia and the nature of awareness. What this perspective implies for artificial consciousness and whether future quantum computers or engineered systems might couple to the field and become genuinely conscious rather than merely simulating it. How quantum biology could offer an evolutionary path for consciousness, extending field‑coupling ideas from the human brain down to simpler organisms and bacterial signaling.Resources & LinksDIWISS Research Institute for the scientific study of consciousness “Macroscopic quantum effects in the brain: new insights into the neural correlates of consciousness” – Research article outlining the QED/zero‑point field model and its neurophysiological connections. “A New Way of Looking at the Neural Correlates of Consciousness” – Paper introducing the idea that the full spectrum of qualia is encoded in the zero‑point field. “The Role of the Brain in Conscious Processes: A New Way of Understanding the Neural Correlates of Consciousness” – Further develops the brain‑as‑interface, ZPF‑based frameworkHuman high intelligence is involved in spectral redshift of biophotonic activities in the brain - studies on glutamate‑linked emissions in brain tissue – Experiments that inform potential tests of the theory.Key Quotes or Insights “The brain may not produce consciousness; it may tune into it by coupling to the zero‑point field, like a resonant oscillator accessing a universal substrate of awareness.” “Conscious states correspond to macroscopic quantum patterns in the brain—highly synchronized, near‑critical dynamics that disappear when the field coupling breaks down in unconsciousness.” “Glutamate‑rich cortical microcolumns could be the molecular gateway to the zero‑point field, forming coherence domains that orchestrate neuronal firing from the bottom up.” “If we can engineer systems that replicate this field‑coupling mechanism, we might not just simulate consciousness—we might be building genuinely conscious artificial systems.” “Quantum biology could reveal an evolutionary continuum of field‑coupling, from simple organisms to humans, reframing how we think about life, intelligence, and mind.”
A.I. has many haters in the copywriting space. Anytime I do an episode related to using some of the many new tools available, I get some hateful DM's, texts, emails, etc...As if my not talking about it will make it all go away. Well, here's the thing: I Don't Want It To Go Away! And neither should you. I am 60 years old and I'm producing better and more copy than I ever have. When I say "better", that's not an opinion. I see proof-of-performance metrics every week that prove it. QED. I win the argument. I think the haters out there just haven't figured out where they fit into this new, rapidly evolving world. They're like assembly-line workers watching as sections of the factory are being replaced by robotics...just waiting for the hammer to fall on them. This week, let me share 3 Keys that will ease your mind about the Rise of the Robots, and get you excited about the army YOU command with your own experience and wisdom. Key Insights Don't be worried, be excited! You're not too old, too non-savvy, or too anything else Key #1: Redefine Your Value - Your value isn't based on the number of hours you work. It comes down to one question: "How much would it cost to replace you?" If you're a good video editor and AI is enabling you to edit 5 times the amount of videos you could do a year ago, then logically it would take 5 mere mortals to replace you. AI cuts the workload, but your creative abilities and experience are at the helm, keeping it on course. Key #2: Multiply Your Output - This is where the pros and the wannabes get separated. Of course AI can multiply your output, but you can't delegate the task of quality control. That's your job. Your clients don't care how you get the job done or how long it took. They care about results. Use your own "secret sauce"...all of your experience and wisdom, to multiply your output while maintaining the quality your clients expect. Key #3: Master Anticipation and Adaptation - The #1 skill in the A.I. economy is being able to see what's coming and adapting quickly. That sounds intimidating if you're not the kind of person who keeps up with tech trends, but it's not hard to do. You don't have to be first. You just need to be somewhere in that first 20%.

Amias Gerety, Partner at QED Investors, brings an unconventional perspective to venture capital shaped by his eight years at the US Treasury Department during the financial crisis. A mechanical thinker, Amias applies an essentialist approach to understanding how businesses work. He explains why QED looks for companies that triple every six months at Series A, how inverted AI creates new opportunities in financial services, and why the best advice for founders remains timeless: build something people want and charge more than it costs to make. With insights on the AI bubble, the application layer renaissance, and why saying no 99 times out of 100 is the real job of a VC, Amias offers a masterclass in disciplined, thesis-driven investing.In this episode, you'll learn:[01:24] Amias's unique path from politics and Treasury to venture capital[05:13] The lever theory: how government and VC create systemic change[07:12] Why mechanical thinking and first principles matter in VC[14:48] QED's investment sweet spot: Series A and series B with undeniable momentum[19:25] What product-market fit really means and how to recognize it[22:14] Inverted AI: Why the world needs financial services for the AI economy[26:43] The AI bubble paradox: overvalued companies, transformative technology[32:57] Why early-stage founders should ignore the macro and focus on customers[34:31] The brutal math of ventureThe nonprofit organization Amias is passionate about: EastersealsAbout Amias GeretyAmias Gerety is a Partner at QED Investors, where he focuses on FinTech and InsurTech investments.

Today, we're joined by Camila Vieira, a Partner at QED Investors focused on Latin America. Camila brings a wealth of experience to our conversation, having established herself as one of the region's most influential fintech investors. Camila joined QED in 2022 as the company's first employee based in São Paulo, Brazil, where she focuses on early stage investments. As an investor and operator with experience working across different regions, she brings a well-rounded perspective to the table, connecting founders and startups to valuable resources while leveraging QED's deep fintech expertise. Prior to joining QED, Camila built her career at the intersection of technology and financial services. She started at Moody's, a credit rating agency, before joining Goldman Sachs to focus on corporate credit and economic risk. Later, as part of Goldman's investment banking division, she helped fintech, software, and e-commerce companies raise capital and navigate the transition from private to public markets. She went on to join the global strategy and corporate development teams at Ceridian, a global software company servicing more than 160 countries. More recently, Camila spent time at Hotmart, a Brazilian tech unicorn whose platform facilitates sales of digital products, enabling creators to build, monetize, manage, and grow globally. There, she led strategy and operations, ESG, and investor relations. Today, we'll explore the dynamic Brazilian fintech ecosystem, discuss cross-border investment opportunities, and uncover lessons that US investors and financial professionals can apply when looking to diversify their portfolios into these high-growth regions.

Assistant Professor Mohammad Mirhosseini (Caltech EE/APh) explains how his group built a mechanical quantum memory that stores microwave-photon quantum states far longer than typical superconducting qubits, and why that matters for hybrid quantum architectures. The discussion covers microwave photons, phonons, optomechanics, coherence versus lifetime (T2 vs. T1), current speed bottlenecks, and implications for quantum transduction and error mechanisms. The discussion centers on a paper from Mirhosseini's paper from December of 2024 titled, “A mechanical quantum memory for microwave photons,” detailing strong coupling between a transmon and a long‑lived nanomechanical oscillator for storage and retrieval of nonclassical states.GuestMohammad Mirhosseini is an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics at Caltech, where his group engineers hybrid superconducting–phononic–photonic systems at millikelvin temperatures for computing, communication, and sensing. He completed his PhD at the University of Rochester's Institute of Optics and was a postdoc in Oscar Painter's group at Caltech before starting his lab. His recent team effort demonstrates mechanical oscillators as compact, long‑lived quantum memories integrated with superconducting circuits.Key topicsWhat “microwave photons” are and how qubits emit/absorb single microwave photons in circuit QED analogously to atoms and optical photons.Why “memory” is missing in today's quantum processors and how a dedicated long‑lived storage element can complement fast but dissipative superconducting qubits.Optomechanics 101: mapping quantum states between electrical and mechanical degrees of freedom, with phonons as the quantized vibrational excitations.T1 vs. T2: demonstrated order‑of‑magnitude gains in lifetime (T1) and more modest current gains in coherence (T2), plus paths to mitigate dephasing.Present bottleneck: state conversion between qubit and oscillator is about 100× slower than native superconducting operations, with clear engineering avenues to speed up.Quantum transduction: leveraging the same mechanical intermediary to bridge microwave and optical domains for interconnects and networking.Two‑level system (TLS) defects: shared decoherence mechanisms across mechanical oscillators and superconducting circuits and why comparing both can illuminate materials limits.Why it mattersHybrid architectures that pair fast processors with long‑lived memories are a natural route to scaling, and mechanical oscillators offer lifetimes far exceeding conventional superconducting storage elements while remaining chip‑integrable.. Demonstrating nonclassical state storage and retrieval with strong qubit–mechanics coupling validates mechanical oscillators as practical quantum memories and sets the stage for on‑chip transduction. Overcoming current speed limits and dephasing would lower the overhead for synchronization, buffering, and possibly future fault‑tolerant protocols in superconducting platforms.Episode highlightsA clear explanation of microwave photons and how circuit QED lets qubits create and absorb them one by one.Mechanical memory concept: store quantum states as phonons in a gigahertz‑frequency nanomechanical oscillator and read them back later.Performance today: roughly 10–30× longer T1 than typical superconducting qubits with current T2 gains of a few×, alongside concrete strategies to extend T2.Speed trade‑off: present qubit–mechanics state transfer is ~100× slower than native superconducting gates, but device design and coupling improvements are underway.Roadmap: tighter coupling for in‑oscillator gates, microwave‑to‑optical conversion via the same mechanics, and probing TLS defects to inform both mechanical and superconducting coherence.

Episode 393 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Daniel Demetri, Founder & CEO of Trellis. Through the advancements of technology like cloud computing and AI, you no longer need to have a huge team to support a company that is hitting major levels of revenue. And, it's not just the ones you read about like Lovable, Cursor, Wiz, etc., as there are other companies that are able to achieve impressive feats with a relatively lean team. Trellis falls under this category. Conserving cash is an obvious benefit, but as Daniel explains, another advantage is speed. It removes the layers of an organization which in return allows employees to process information and make decisions faster. Trellis is an insurtech start-up with a mission to simplify and automate shopping for home and auto insurance by powering intelligent insurance experiences using machine learning, real-time bidding, and conversational AI, backed by a team of nationally licensed insurance advisors. The company is funded by top investors, including QED, General Catalyst, Nyca, and Amex Ventures. In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of great topics like: * Daniel's background, including being a webmaster pre-college and some stories of the inner workings of Harvard. * His progression as a Product Manager at Google (including his interviews with Marisa Mayer) and how he got involved in startups. * Co-Founding a company that disrupted the title insurance industry called Doma which eventually went public and is now private, plus how this experience prepped him to be a CEO. * What led him down the path of starting Trellis and how the company is applying modern technology to the traditional model of insurance sales. * Lots of details about Trellis in terms of the team structure, hiring plans, and what's next for the company. * His thoughts on what makes a great product manager. * And so much more!
