What if I told you that the next school shooting is already being planned right now? That the killer is broadcasting his intentions on social media and no one is stopping it? This week I sat down with Zeev Fragachan, a former IDF officer, school security expert, and fierce advocate for protecting America's children, to ask the questions that nobody wants to answer. But we must. Why has the United States experienced over 2,000 school shootings since Columbine, while countries like Israel report zero? Are social media platforms fueling school shooters, or could they be our best chance to stop them?Zeev breaks down the psychological profile of a school shooter. It's not always mental illness. It's something more dangerous. We dive into what happened in Uvalde, Parkland, and the chilling failures of law enforcement, but we don't stop there. We go global to the rise of terrorism, 3D-printed guns, digital radicalization inside Roblox and Minecraft, and even Kanye's anti-Semitic lyrics infecting America's youth.This is a call to arms for parents, lawmakers, and every adult in America, because the next future day could be one we never recover from.

Mit Tempo 130 rast ein 24-Jähriger im Oktober 2022 durch Wiesbaden. Er fährt über rote Ampeln, über die abgetrennte Busspur. Und: Er übersieht ein Auto, das abbiegen will. Ungebremst rast der schwere Wagen in den Kleinwagen. Der Fahrer wird aus dem Auto geschleudert, prallt mit dem Kopf auf den Asphalt. Der 30-Jährige erliegt einen Tag später seinen schweren Verletzungen. Im Sommer 2023 beginnt der Prozess gegen den Unfallfahrer vor dem Landgericht Wiesbaden. Angeklagt ist er wegen Mordes, Straßenverkehrsgefährdung und verbotenem Kraftfahrzeugrennen. Gut 20 Tage lang verhandelt das Gericht, versucht sich dem Geschehen unter anderem mit VR - also Virtual Reality - zu nähern und verkündet Ende 2023 sein Urteil.

What if I told you the next generation isn't watching, they're playing? On this episode of Some Future Day, I sit down with Matt Edelman, the newly named CEO of Super League, a company connecting brands with over a billion gamers across Roblox, Fortnite, and Minecraft. We're not talking about ads; we're talking about worlds. Branded quests. Digital sneakers. In-game burrito giveaways that break mobile app records. This is marketing like you've never seen before! Matt shares how Gen Z is spending more time gaming than on YouTube and TikTok combined, and how brands are finally waking up to it.  We get into the big stats - $50 billion in gaming and revenue; 3.3 billion players globally. And how a teenage girl created a hit game that rivals fashion runways in Roblox. I know: my daughter and her friends are totally addicted! Why should brands risk leaving the safety of TikTok or YouTube? We even talk about AI, mobile gaming, and the missed opportunity fashion brands are facing right now by not jumping into this space. If you want to understand where marketing, gaming, and digital culture are headed, this is the episode that you cannot miss!

Technology is often said to disconnect us from one another, but there are exceptions. Sean Rogg is an artist and futurist who continually explores how human emotions, empathy, and connection can be triggered, manipulated, and deepened through technology and collaboration. By making the audience an integral part of his experiments, he has broken away from traditional art practices and instead embraced the realms of futurism and transhumanism to push the boundaries of human connection.His The Waldorf Project has been evolving for over 15 years. We met him in Stockholm after the premiere of the VR performance Virtual Serenity, a powerful glimpse into how technology can be used to merge consciousness, art, and immersive experiences. And this is just the beginning. // Podcast host: Christian von Essen // Check out our previous English episodes and subscribe to the newsletter (in Swedish).

Jack sits down with David Chalmers, renowned philosopher of mind, to explore the provocative question: Is virtual reality real? They explore the blurred boundaries between the virtual and the physical, consciousness, and presence. Together, they consider whether digital worlds can hold the same ontological weight as the "real" world, and what that means for the future of how we live, think, and perceive.

What may seem like a novelty video game accessory from the 1980s actually has a much deeper backstory. The Nintendo Power Glove, a game controller you wore on your arm, came out in 1989, but its roots go back to the 1970s. Before it was the "baddest" accessory around, the Power Glove started out as the Data Glove, a high-end instrument used by scientists, MIT, and even NASA. What began as a $10,000 instrument for a new world called "Virtual Reality" eventually entered the consumer market. Did the data glove have more novel applications? Could this unique device even become a toy...? But to make it a toy, a redesign and a MUCH lower price point were both critical, and that meant a lot of compromises in both materials and functionality. Even though the Power Glove was launched with a huge boom, did the at-home gaming experience live up to the hype...?  War Games movie review: Patreon.com/80s

Send us a textJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs and futurist Ray Kurzweil for a compelling conversation on the accelerating pace of technological change and its profound implications for the future of humanity. In his new book, The Singularity Is Nearer, Kurzweil revisits and updates his groundbreaking predictions on AI & AGI, exponential growth, and human evolution and longevity.Together, they explore a future where AI rivals human intelligence by 2029, nanotechnology rebuilds the world atom by atom, and our minds merge with the cloud to expand intelligence beyond biological limits. They examine radical life extension, the promise of renewable energy, and how exponential technologies are reshaping industries, reducing poverty, and transforming global well-being. But, they also confront the risks while discussing a vision of the future - both awe-inspiring and cautionary - challenging us to rethink what it means to be human in an age of rapid and relentless innovation.The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the SDG Academy, the flagship education initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

Since the late 1980's, the team at Marshfield's "Road to Responsibility" has had one mission: assist those with intellectual and physical disabilities with living their lives to the fullest. They do so by providing essential services in day programs and community living, along with promoting inclusivity and understanding in the community at large. One of their new tools is a virtual reality program that's already become a major success. President and CEO Christopher White joins clinician Rebecca Ellis to talk about how they're introducing this technology into their programming.

We hebben geen leugendetector, maar die zouden we voor deze aflevering maar wat goed kunnen gebruiken. Want wie spreekt nu de waarheid. Is dat Trump of toch Xi Jinping? Trump zegt namelijk dat ze aan het onderhandelen zijn, zelfs nu China dat ontkent. Ziet of hoort Trump dingen die er niet zijn? Of is het gewoon een tactiek van de Chinezen? Volgens Amerikaanse media zouden de Chinezen achter de schermen namelijk importtarieven aan het verlagen zijn. Deze uitzending proberen we te kijken waar de handelsoorlog staat en wat het voor jou betekent. De handelsoorlog betekent nog niet zoveel voor Alphabet. De eigenaar van Google zou er heel veel last van hebben, was de gedachte. Maar uit de kwartaalcijfers blijkt iets anders. Ook hoor je over een onderdeel van een Amerikaans bedrijf dat al 60 miljard (!) dollar verlies heeft gemaakt. En toch wil de topman er mee doorgaan. Apple maakt geen verlies, maar gaat z'n iPhones wel ergens anders maken. Het gaat China voor India inruilen. Al is de vraag of dat wel zo'n slim besluit is. Over slim gesproken: Trump heeft geen zin om te stoppen. Hij heeft de petjes en shirtjes voor 'Trump 2028' al laten drukken.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How can innovative technologies like VR and neuromodulation improve how we understand and treat PTSD? How can curiosity and leadership open doors in neuroscience and mental health? What does it take to build a meaningful career impacting millions? In this inspiring episode of Neurocareers: Doing the Impossible!, Dr. Milena Korostenskaja (Dr. K) sits down with Prof. Deborah Beidel — Trustee Chair and Pegasus Professor of Psychology and Medical Education, and Executive Director of UCF RESTORES — to explore a career built on courage, innovation, and compassion. Career Development with Purpose Prof. Beidel shares how her early desire to be a detective evolved into a lifelong career as a clinical psychologist.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Joseph Feuerstein, director of Integrative Medicine at Stamford Hospital.

There's apprehension about the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR)—are we about to enter the dystopian future world of The Matrix? But today's guest discusses the innovative application of AI and VR to a common problem: menopausal hot flashes in women for whom estrogen is contraindicated because of the risk of cancer. Using a VR headset, menopausal women were presented guided imagery featuring cooling and relaxing suggestions. A pilot study showed it reduced the frequency and intensity of hot flashes, improved sleep quality, and enhanced overall well-being. Dr. Joseph Feuerstein discusses a comprehensive strategy for menopause, comprising acupuncture, natural products (Estrovera and Relizen), exercise and diet. Are soy isoflavones OK for relieving menopausal symptoms, even in breast cancer patients? Dr. Feuerstein is also co-author of "The Cannabinoid Cookbook," which is not merely a guidebook to marijuana edibles; instead, it focuses on the numerous foods that support the body's endocannabinoid system—Including cocoa, omega-3 fatty acids, turmeric, and truffles. These foods deliver compounds which confer a multiplicity of mood and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence will represent the largest U.S. growth sectors percentagewise over the next five years. Anchorage Digital Bank is the first and only U.S.-based, federally chartered bank, specializing in cryptocurrency and digital asset custody and financial services. Anchorage is legally permitted to operate nationwide, adhering to federal regulations rather than state level regulations, enhancing trust and legitimacy. Its services include custody, trading, staking, lending, and borrowing.I first met Anchorage's genius founder, Nathan McCauley, at the White House Cryptocurrency Summit, and we quickly hit it off. Mr. McCauley's company has backing from well-known venture capital firms and investors, including Andreesen Horowitz, Goldman Sachs, and Visa. And although the company was hit by Biden's Choke Point 2.0 - effectively being debanked - Anchorage is back on its feet, and in fact, it is roaring.Nathan, thank you for sharing your personal founder's story with me. Your professional and personal worlds are truly inspirational.

I'm thrilled to welcome the brilliant Bill Walton to Some Future Day. Together we're diving into the heart of today's hottest economic issues, from explosive tariff wars to the AI revolution that's reshaping everything we know.You've probably heard plenty of chatter about tariffs, but did you know America's exports to Canada and Mexico make up just 2.3% of our GDP, yet we account for over 31% of Mexico's GDP and nearly 20% of Canada's? Bill Walton reveals why this imbalance gives America enormous leverage and how Trump-era policies might reshape global trade wars in ways you haven't imagined.We also get deep into how artificial intelligence and automation are shaking up job markets and innovation. Bill predicts massive shifts in white collar professions, shares why new tech breakthroughs in AI and crypto will trigger a fresh wave of job creation, and offers his surprising take on who wins and who loses in this brave new economy.This conversation is a roadmap to understanding America's future.

“What I meant when I said there is no AI is that I don't think we serve ourselves well when we put our own technology up as if it were a new God that we created. I think we confuse ourselves too easily. This goes back to Alan Turing, the main founder of computer science, who had this idea of the Turing test. In the test, you can't tell whether the computer has gotten more human-like or the human has gotten more computer-like. People are very prone to becoming more computer-like. When we're on social media, we let ourselves be guided by the algorithms, so we start to become dumb in the way the algorithms want us to. You see that all the time. It's really degraded our psychologies and our society.”Jaron Lanier is a pioneering technologist, writer, and musician, best known for coining the term “Virtual Reality” and founding VPL Research, the first company to sell VR products. He led early breakthroughs in virtual worlds, avatars, and VR applications in fields like surgery and media. Lanier writes on the philosophy and economics of technology in his bestselling book Who Owns the Future? and You Are Not a Gadget. His book Dawn of the New Everything: Encounters with Reality and Virtual Reality is an inventive blend of autobiography, science writing, and philosophy. Lanier has been named one of TIME's 100 most influential people and serves as Prime Unifying Scientist at Microsoft's Office of the CTO—aka “Octopus.” As a musician, he's performed with Sara Bareilles, Philip Glass, T Bone Burnett, Laurie Anderson, Jon Batiste, and others.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcastEpisode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

“AI is obviously the dominant topic in tech lately, and I think occasionally there's AI that's nonsense, and occasionally there's AI that's great. I love finding new proteins for medicine and so on. I don't think we serve ourselves well when we put our own technology up as if it were a new God that we created. I think we're really getting a little too full of ourselves to think that. This goes back to Alan Turing, the main founder of computer science, who had this idea of the Turing test. In the test, you can't tell whether the computer has gotten more human-like or the human has gotten more computer-like. People are very prone to becoming more computer-like.

For many, practices like meditation and yoga are among the most thrilling avenues for deepening spiritual awareness. At their best, these techniques can serve as a neurological and biochemical reset—enhancing self-awareness and empowering transformation. But at their worst, they can cause a loss of personal grounding, leaving individuals vulnerable to exploitative relationships or mental, physical, and even sexual harm under unethical or authoritarian figures. As a result, people often find themselves wagering between powerful tools for psychological growth and the risk of undue influence. In this episode of Cult Conversations: The Influence Continuum, I speak with my longtime friend and colleague, David Christopher Lane, PhD—Professor of Philosophy and Sociology at Mt. San Antonio College—about this delicate balance. David is the author of numerous books, including The Making of a Spiritual Movement: The Untold Story of Paul Twitchell and Eckankar, The Radhasoami Tradition, Exposing Cults: When the Skeptical Mind Meets the Mystical, The Unknowing Sage, and The Virtual Reality of Consciousness. Cambridge University Press published his most recent book, The Sound Current Tradition: A Historical Overview, in 2022. He also co-authored an annotated bibliography on the Radhasoami movement for Oxford University Press. Beyond academia, David is a world champion bodysurfer with titles spanning from 1997 to 2016. David is also an expert on neuroscience and virtual reality technology.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
