We start by talking about the recent deployment of Agent Cookie and how it is showcasing the utilization of multi-agent swarm technology to more efficiently produce content. We speculate on how these types of swarms can be applied to produce content that can reach a broader demographic outside of crypto twitter, also share our insights on the current state of the AI agent landscape now that the sector is down 70-80% from its all time highs. We then transition to the Bittensor ecosystem and how we think the launch of dTAO will play out. This is a moment we have been waiting to see manifest for over 2 years and if successful gives TAO the potential to be regarded as the ETH of this cycle. However there are several contingencies that have to be considered in regards to the existing market participant demographics and the probability of an original product emergence from within the ecosystem itself. We break down how important innovation and new narratives are for ecosystems to experience success in the web3 space. We've seen ecosystems that have good designs on paper such as Polkadot play out to not meeting the initial expectations set at their launch. We believe the cause of this is due to a lack of innovative products that were deployed that leveraged that ecosystems benefits and unique properties. Bittensor will require the same in order for it to stand out at the end of the day for it to achieve its unicorn status in the crypto AI landscape. Topics: First, discuss the recent deployment of Agent Cookie and how it showcases the utilization of multi-agent swarm technology to produce content more efficiently. Next, the Bittensor ecosystem and how the guys think the launch of dTAO will play out. and Finally, break down how important innovation and new narratives are for ecosystems to experience success in the web3 space.

A Note from JamesI've been on and off writing. From 2004 to 2021, I wrote one to two books a year, without fail. Since then, nothing. But I've been working on an idea: obsession. When I'm not obsessed, I can't do much—sometimes not even the basics. But when I am obsessed, I can turn that energy into real outcomes: a business, a book, a skill, sometimes success, sometimes failure.This episode comes from a recent conversation I had with the Ventura Labs team. We talked about obsession, but also about AI, crypto, and how those obsessions have led to building TAO Synergies ($TAOX), a public company on Nasdaq. I'd love to hear your thoughts: should I write this as a book? Reach out on Twitter or anywhere.Episode DescriptionJames Altucher joins the Ventura Labs Podcast to explore the link between obsession, creativity, and execution. From contributing to IBM's Deep Blue in the 90s to co-founding TAO Synergies, James shares how obsessions with chess, AI, and crypto have shaped his life and career.The conversation covers the philosophy behind decentralized AI, the rise of treasury strategies, and why writing down ten ideas a day can change everything. This episode isn't about trends—it's about frameworks: how to spot real opportunities, how to build around them, and how to know when obsession is worth pursuing.What You'll LearnWhy obsession can be both a weakness and a superpower—and how to channel it productively.How Bittensor ($TAO) creates decentralized AI opportunities at a fraction of traditional costs.The mechanics of treasury companies and how TAO Synergies is building its playbook.The risks and rewards of subnet investing, and how tokenomics actually drive value.Lessons James learned from failure, from HBO web series experiments to company collapses, and why generating ideas daily can reset your career.Timestamped Chapters02:15 – Introduction02:58 – What is Bittensor06:24 – AI background and Deep Blue09:34 – Chess interest and journey11:46 – $TAOX inspirations and getting TAO-pilled14:09 – TAO Synergies origin story16:57 – Reaching 100M and playbook19:41 – Treasury strategies and validators22:02 – Launching TAO Daily25:51 – Bitcoin adoption and involvement29:32 – Subnet investing and analysis30:59 – Token warnings and TAO demand35:46 – Subnet proposals and increases37:36 – Successful sectors and examples40:04 – Yanez and Metanova43:17 – Decentralization benefits46:13 – AI jobs and countering fears49:34 – Beneficial sectors: AI and stablecoins53:59 – Bryan Johnson documentary55:17 – Starting podcast and interviews57:14 – Interests and obsessions01:00:56 – Daily writing obsession and origins01:03:47 – Confidence and opinions01:07:33 – Company failures and lessons01:10:42 – HBO series and 3AM show01:14:26 – Hesitancy, regrets, pivotal points01:17:38 – Advice on time and experimentsAdditional ResourcesTAO Synergies: @TAOSynergiesTAO Daily (community news hub): taodaily.ioNaval Ravikant – AngelList founder and Bitcoin advocateVentura Labs Podcast (YouTube): @VenturaLabsPodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

En este episodio exploramos a fondo el mutismo acinético, una de las manifestaciones más desconcertantes tras un daño cerebral grave. Hablamos de su base neurofisiológica, su relación con el sistema dopaminérgico y los circuitos prefronto-subcorticales, y cómo se diferencia clínicamente de otros estados de conciencia alterada. Recorremos también las opciones terapéuticas más prometedoras, desde la estimulación multisensorial y la verticalización robótica hasta técnicas de neuromodulación como la estimulación cerebral profunda, la estimulación medular o la tDCS. Un episodio técnico, narrativo y lleno de preguntas clínicas clave, pensado para quienes trabajan día a día con pacientes que aún no responden... pero que podrían hacerlo.

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores the gentle, often misunderstood power of being humble.Have you ever thought that being humble makes you weak? Do you find yourself confused between setting healthy boundaries and being submissive? Or perhaps you wonder if humility and ambition can ever walk the same path? Humility is often mistaken for invisibility in a world that values noise, boldness and assertion. You'll learn how humility isn't about hiding but revealing our quiet strength. True humility in Taoism is not about shrinking ourselves or surrendering our values. It is about recognising our place in the vast rhythm of the Cosmos.        Read the blog post that inspired this episode:  https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/the-softness-of-humility-a-path-toOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

Astrid Intelligence PLC (AQSE:ASTR) executive director and chairperson Olivia Edwards talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's initial purchase of Ethereum, its move to the AQUIS Growth Market, and how these decisions align with its AI-led wellness platform strategy. Edwards confirmed Astrid acquired 1,377.98 ETH for £4.5 million, describing it as a milestone that complements existing treasury holdings in Bitcoin, Solana and Bittensor/TAO. “We are really, really excited to announce our first major Ethereum purchase,” Edwards said, adding that Ethereum's role in smart contracts and decentralised applications aligns with where Astrid expects its autonomous agents to operate. Edwards explained the decision to switch listing venue, noting that AQUIS offers operational flexibility for a digital-asset strategy while maintaining governance standards. She said the move is about positioning the business to “execute faster and more effectively” while staying focused on AI intelligence and strategic asset management. Detailing the product approach, Edwards said Astrid's autonomous wellness agents run on Bittensor subnet 127, tapping a vetted database of 100,000+ wellness products to deliver actionable recommendations and affiliate-driven commercial outcomes. She highlighted Bittensor's competitive model in which models are validated and rewarded in TAO, noting that no new subnets are being issued currently, which provides an advantage for Astrid's platform. Looking ahead, Astrid plans disciplined accumulation of Ethereum while maintaining diversification, aligning treasury assets with the environments where its agents operate. “Our target is sustainable growth through a portfolio that compounds value,” Edwards said.

Wil je meedoen met de cursus is dit de link waarop je kunt aanmelden: https://genezendvermogen.nl/cursus-zelfgenezend-vermogen-geestelijke-genezing-podcast/ Iedereen heeft er één. Een geheim kamertje, diep in je hart. Geen MRI, echo of scan kan hem vinden. Maar iedere mystieke traditie spreekt erover. Teresa van Ávila noemde het het interior castle. De soefi's spreken van het sirr, het geheim. In de Upanishads heet het de dahara akasha, de kleine ruimte in het hart. Boeddhisten noemen het de onverwoestbare druppel. Overal, oost en west, noord en zuid, wijzen ze naar hetzelfde: het innerlijke heiligdom waar Zelfgenezing begint. Die kamer staat symbool voor de vonk van het goddelijke die in ieder mens aanwezig is. Of je het nu God, Christus, Allah, Tao, Brahman of simpelweg het Zelf noemt: dáár woont het. Het is de bron van genezing en regeneratie, het onuitputtelijke vermogen van je lichaam om zichzelf te herstellen en harmonie te vinden. In die kamer ligt ook je ziel, je hogere Zelf, de essentie van wie je werkelijk bent: onsterfelijk en onverwoestbaar. Wie zich afstemt op die ruimte voelt compassie en liefde opborrelen, een diepe bron van mededogen en verbinding. Tegelijkertijd opent het hart zich als een poort naar het universum, waar jouw microkosmos en de grote macrokosmos elkaar ontmoeten. Het is ook de plek van stilte: een centrum van rust, vrede en aanwezigheid waar de geest tot adem komt. Daar ontwaak je, daar gloort bewustzijn, wijsheid en transcendentie. En middenin die stilte bruist tegelijk de creatieve levenskracht: inspiratie, energie, scheppingskracht. Wat je ook meemaakt, hoe zwaar het leven soms ook weegt, in die kamer blijft altijd iets onaangetast. Een onverwoestbare kern die nooit sterft. Dat is dat geheime kamertje. En dáár begint Zelfgenezing. Zelfgenezing wordt bijna altijd gezocht door het kleine “ikje” dat beter wil worden. Maar eerlijk is eerlijk: dat ikje weet nauwelijks hoe je cellen werken. Het heeft noch de kennis, noch de kracht om organen te herstellen of stofwisselingsprocessen te sturen. Zelfgenezing met een hoofdletter Z gaat niet over het ikje. Het gaat over het Zelf. De bron in jou die je hart laat kloppen, je bloed laat stromen en miljoenen wonderen per seconde in je cellen laat gebeuren. Wanneer je je daarop afstemt, opent de deur naar herstel. Wil je leren hoe je het kamertje opent? Hoe je het Zelf meer en meer toelaat? Hoe je jouw zelfgenezende vermogens versterkt en specifieke organen of lichaamsdelen bekrachtigt? Dan is deze unieke nieuwe cursus iets voor jou. ✨ Uitgebreide startbijeenkomst met de belangrijkste theorie. ✨ 6 online oefensessies, verspreid over 3 dagen. ✨ Ochtend- en avondpraktijk, zodat de oefeningen diep doordringen in je onbewuste en tot op celniveau doorwerken. Na de cursus kun je zelfstandig verder. Precies hierover deze gloednieuwe podcast! Een nieuwe super inspirerende podcast samen met Henk Fransen. Als je bij die podcast net zoals ik voelt: wow! Ja! Dan is deze cursus perfect voor jou. Ik ga zelf sowieso meedoen! Lezen en leren over het zelfherstellende vermogen van je lichaam? Zowel in het boek De Eiwitleugen wat al verkrijgbaar is, als in het nieuwe boek wat binnenkort verschijnt, gaan we hier uitgebreid op in. Want als je toegang krijgt tot dat geheime kamertje, beschik je over super levenskracht!   Vrolijke groet en veel liefs, Janneke DE WIN-WIN METHODE | VOOR WINNAARS | ZONDER VERLIEZERS

Speaking across the decades from the 1970s to the 2010s, Ram Dass shares his wisdom on the importance of resting in awareness. Ram Dass Here & Now is brought to you by BetterHelp.

We invite you to join us and share your curiosities, insights, and wisdom. Sign up for the General Fellowship to receive event invitations directly in your inbox.This episode of Here and Now is a compilation of Ram Dass discussing the concept of resting in awareness throughout the decades. We begin in Washington, D.C., in 1976, with Ram Dass exploring being in harmony with the Tao, the Way of things, and how awareness and love are really the same thing. “When you are aware without clinging,” he says, ‘And in harmony with all of the forces, you are no longer in time.” We move on to 1985, with Ram Dass meditating on the qualities of awareness. These are qualities such as spaciousness, equanimity, and love. He encourages us to become instruments of light, love, and presence. “Just allow your awareness to expand, to embrace everything you hear or feel or think.” The next stop is the Virgin Islands in 1995, with Ram Dass comparing awareness to the sky. The clouds in the sky are simply the passing phenomena of life. “Your whole concept of who you think you are,” he says, “All the stuff of ‘me' is all the cloud. And the cloud is being appreciated or embraced or carried by the sky. The sky is just awareness.” Finally, we end in Maui in 2016, when Ram Dass had learned how to completely rest in his loving awareness. He guides a meditation to connect us to the space of loving awareness, where we can all go for a swim in the ocean of love.

Ram Dass teaches that through the Bhakti practice of unconditional love, we can all connect with our true nature. Through these teachings, Ram Dass has shared a little piece of his guru, Maharaj-ji, with all who have listened to him. Learn more about Ram Dass, his teachings, and more at ramdass.org.“I would say my life is about awareness. And becoming or being aware. Because becoming's already a trip in the cloud. ‘I'm getting aware.' It's another one. ‘I'm washing dishes, now I'm getting aware.' It's just another trip, it's another thing you're doing. So, I'd say my life is resting in awareness. And into the awareness come phenomena.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Dinesh discusses the fall of Europe which he sadly terms “Europe R.I.P.” One of America’s great mathematicians, Terrence Tao, bemoans his department’s lack of federal funding, but Dinesh argues that Tao and others brought this on themselves. Dinesh reviews his exchange with a black woman who, strangely enough, accuses him of being too hard on the racist Southern Democrats of the nineteenth century.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finding Dead Space – Ep 174 In this walking podcast I discuss the concept of finding dead space in the breath, and in your life. This is also known as equanimity, or being content with the present moment as it is. It's a concept that has utility for athletes, as they are often rushing from thing to thing, and this rushing is often a consequence of the mentality that they are not inherently enough.  “The best athlete wants his opponent at his best. The best general enters the mind of his enemy. The best businessman serves the communal good. The best leader follows the will of the people.  All of these embody the virtue of non-competition. Not that they don't love to compete, but they do it in the spirit of play. In this they are like children and in harmony with the Tao.”  Tao te Ching, Stephen Mitchell translation 

Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Rev. Jim Pasmore shares, “The Tao of Healing and Health”. In this talk Jim will present a review of healing practices through the ages from Shaman's of 30,000 years ago to Unity and in between. We will see that perennial wisdom has guided much of the more recent successful practices. Some surprising techniques were employed by the father of New Thought, Pinneas Quimby, that healed 10,000 folks in New England that conventional medicine of the day had given up on. Jim will share the fundamental basis of all healing: "Spirit is the life, mind is the builder and body is the result." He will also share some of his personal experiences with healing and health. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: http://bit.ly/prayerclaim Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/ Donate via Paypal: http://bit.ly/donateunitybend More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

 Imagine you want to serve the women…All women love intercourse because we are biologically programmed to make kids.When I was starting with dating, I attended the very best Tantra/sex groups with the best Therapists in the world… Because I wanted to learn to love women… And then I wanted to become the best lover in the world… For sure, I had the fortune to learn the best Tantra and Tao-love techniques … And, do you think if you have this attitude to love and serve women at best, that you will attract women? But, still, you have to open your heart and to be relaxed …. And for that is meditation… For every date, I was exercising my body and meditating at least 1 hour… I was imaging and feeling my fears of rejecting and failing… To get even more relaxed!You can't win a battle if you don't be prepared for the worst. Did I got rejected, did I failed? Who cares… If you learn something, you win. Ask why she doesn't like you, what you have done wrong! Most of the time, when I failed I had targeted the wrong women or at the wrong time… When I urgently wanted a girl, I always got rejected… Only when I was relaxed, I was successful.Because I can't serve a girl well when I need her! And the girl will recognize that… Approach women when you want to serve women. The women want a leader with confidence, a great lover, a guy that can seduce well… Be a man… The biological system of females is programmed to get a strong male for getting strong, healthy babies… The females long unconscious for a baby, and for that they need a man and not a weakling, softy, coward, … The women want to experience passionate love and a guy with purpose and a goal in his life!  Still, you need to be sensitive… The Tao says a man should be as strong as a woodcutter and sensible like a baby…  My Video: How to seduce, part 7? https://youtu.be/qVxgFnswQjUMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/How-to-seduce-part-7.mp3

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores how to let go of the past.Have you ever caught yourself replaying an old hurt, long after the moment has passed? Do you ever believe that holding onto the pain somehow holds others accountable? Or wonder if releasing your grip might let the world “get away” with what should never have happened?These are the fundamental questions of letting go—not from the mind, but from the heart, especially our Inner Child, who still seeks justice, safety, and acknowledgement.You'll discover how NOT letting go is not protection but a chain that weighs you down, and how acceptance, not approval or forgetting, cuts it clean...Read the blog post that inspired this episode: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/unforgiveness-the-chain-that-bindsOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

Episode Description:Hosted by James Altucher (serial entrepreneur, bestselling author of "Choose Yourself," podcaster, hedge fund manager, chess master, and investor in over 20 companies, with expertise in crypto and AI) and Joseph Jacks (founder and general partner of OSS Capital, the world's first VC firm dedicated to commercial open-source software; early-stage investor in AI and open-source tech, previously Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Quantum Corporation).In the premiere episode, James and Joe explore Bittensor's decentralized AI ecosystem, contrasting it with centralized giants like xAI's Grok 4. They discuss subnets providing GPUs, datasets, and models; proof-of-useful-work mining; building custom AI agents; and Bittensor's potential to outpace Big Tech in achieving superintelligence.Plus, tokenomics, real-world apps, capitalism parallels, and bold predictions on TAO's future value.Key Timestamps & Topics:00:00:00 - Intro: Podcast overview, AI/crypto news (Grok 4, Bitcoin ATH), centralized vs. decentralized AI.00:09:00 - Proof of Useful Work: Mining datasets, models, inference on Bittensor.00:10:00 - Subnet Deep Dives: Dataverse (13) for data scraping; building trading models.00:16:00 - Chutes (64): Cheap AI inference, e.g., Bible chatbot at 1/50th OpenAI cost.00:23:00 - Agentic AI: Building owned agents, avoiding Big Tech biases/control.00:28:00 - Scaling & Future: Decentralization's infinite potential; Bitcoin compute parallels.00:33:00 - Superintelligence Path: Bittensor faster than Elon; energy/chip challenges.00:34:00 - Bittensor's Early Stage: Like 1990s internet, needs better user interfaces.00:38:00 - Chutes Economics: 10T+ tokens served, 4.4K H100 GPUs, user growth.00:50:00 - Valuation & Growth: Subnets as companies; TAO potentially 5-10x Bitcoin.01:02:00 - Bittensor as Pure Capitalism: Incentives for supply/demand; upgrading equity models.01:09:00 - Centralization Risks: Elon/Meta control; Bittensor's global solution.01:13:00 - Wrap-Up: Teasing future episodes on subnets, AI ventures.Key Takeaways:Bittensor incentivizes ~20-100K GPUs permissionlessly, rivaling xAI at zero CapEx.Subnets like Chutes (inference) and Dataverse (data) enable cheap, owned AI models for anyone.Decentralization democratizes AI talent/compute, potentially building AGI faster than centralized efforts.Quote: "Bittensor is the most expressive language of value in the history of languages of value." – Joseph JacksResources & Links:Bittensor Official: bittensor.comTaostats (Explorer/TAO App): taostats.ioSubnet 64 (Chutes): taostats.io/subnets/64Subnet 13 (Dataverse): macrocosmos.ai/sn13Akash Network: akash.networkxAI: x.aiFollow Hosts: @jaltucher & @josephjacks_ on XSubscribe for more on Bittensor subnets, AI building, and crypto trends!

Host Susan Ryan sits down with visionary eldercare advocate and Pioneer Network co-founder Barry Barkin for a profound conversation on reimagining aging and the transformative potential of community, spirit, and consciousness. Barkin shares his journey from founding the Live Oak Institute to helping launch the Pioneer Network, driven by a belief that aging is not a problem to solve but a gift to elevate. He recounts his efforts to create a regenerative, inclusive community at the Jewish Home in Oakland—an idea that initially faced rejection but ultimately gained momentum and global influence, including a successful expansion into 15 homes in Israel. But this conversation goes beyond history. Barry offers a deeply reflective vision for a paradigm shift—a movement from a worldview rooted in domination and separation to one grounded in interconnection, kindness, and sufficiency. He challenges listeners to see humanity as one living being, where every person and every creature matters. Together, Susan and Barry explore the concept of “Elder Awesome” and moving beyond traditional notions of “elder care.” They also discuss the “Tao of Blessings”—a personal path to leave grace in every encounter Barkin offers his vision for communities and care environments rooted in equity, dignity, and accountability.

This edition of the Tao of Christ is a little different. For one thing it is shorter than usual. Also I am taking a break from the Gospel of Thomas. I will get back to it in a week or so. Today I am reading my blog post for today. I have a blog that I publish once or twice a week called Spiritual Reflections by Marshall Davis. Normally it is just in a written format, but today I thought I would record it in an audio format as well. If you are interested in subscribing to my blog you can find my blog here:https://spiritualreflections.substack.com/View Marshall's books here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU

My guest today is Alan Waxman. Alan is the co-founder and CEO of Sixth Street, one of the most unique investment firms with a "go anywhere, do anything" mandate across asset classes, geographies, and time horizons, and over $110 billion in AUM. He describes his journey from CIO of Goldman Sachs' Special Situations Group and the frameworks he brought with him to lay the foundation for Sixth Street. Alan details their famous investments like Spotify and Airbnb during challenging periods, their innovative sports partnerships with Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, and their $30 billion "TAO" vehicle that allows them to write billion-dollar checks while keeping individual fund sizes matched to opportunities.
